Nice work, Drew. Well done to all you guys for identifying this market; I think you'll find it BIG!!

@pbacot...... WTF?

Can't believe I haven't bought a new PC for so long...

Any of you hardcore's out there got any suggestions?

Been using this old donk for nearly 5 years and never had an issue but might upgrade and send this one home to the study.

Yep, can be done with profile builder.... I created a 2D 'Robe' linetype a while back and it works well.

Should be pretty easy. Actually I might even give it a crack!

Thanks for sharing, Pilou...! I might subscribe to his vids...

thanks for sharing that, mate. Might have to look at using that!!

This has been a feature request of mine for a few releases. It could be manipulated in settings by a simple tick box.

1. Export to PDF [1 file]
2. Print to PDF each page [Name of file-name of page]

Revisions are going to be a little trickier but this would certainly be a huge step forward.

Thanks for your input, halroach.

Yes, this is a known issue. We hope to be able to improve it in the future. The recommended workflow is to use the Double-cut explode locked groups option (right-click menu) after you have finalized the position of your door. Then, you can easily erase the un-wanted faces at the base of the door.

Yes this has always been an issue with components cutting a solid at the edge... in this case a sill.

I've thought for ages that any any attempt at solving the puzzle of cutting through walls [ie solids] would be done with .... eh, solid tools. The subtract tool removes the section of wall to make the opening and when the opening is removed the subtract tool is reversed.

I am no programmer so wouldn't know if that can even be done but it just seems logical to me.

Work to live, mate.

No worries. ta.

Hi Sam, just have a question about what's going on here...
When I select the random texture option and select the source of the textures, I select a .skm file then I get a material picker dialogue box showing on the screen that has nothing but a select button.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I have loaded the latest rbz file by the way....

Anyone dealing with the [context click] component tool sticking..?

Not sure what's going on; here's a screen video.

NIce. better get learning then...

Thanks fellas,

@Rich - Don't really need to animate things in the building at all... still the best solution?

Will have a look at MSPhysics too, cheers @faust07

Hi guys, just wondering what your preferred plugin / process for animating SU models? I'm keen to start producing some flyovers / walkthroughs for an upcoming job.

The standard export out of SU is not bad but wanted to consider a more accurate way to do it. Just did a search and found Whaat's 'Smoothstep Animation'plugin and i notice its quite old. Anyone still using it?

Thanks in advance.

If it is custom designs then GarryK's Cabinet Maker

GKWare Cab Maker, kitchen, vanity closets etc. | SketchUcation

3D SketchUp Community for Design and Engineering Professionals.

(sketchucation.com)

Is a good place to start

Agreed!

Whether its a solid or not surely the skalp tool should be able to work similar to the SU native tool??

Hi guys, can you chime in on this post please?

Seems to be something weird happening with cutting through a wall with an opening inserted into it.
