I have to say the subscription model and cost have put me off too. I am managing ok using proxies etc. I also have to ask myself why do we have to constantly pay more for plugins to compensate for the shortcomings of Sketchup itself. Tremble should just give you a million bucks and incorporate your functionality into the program.

Thanks for the continuing great work, providing improvements to SketchUp! I would not personally need this ability but it looks like a great one for city projects!

I think I found a bug which causes Sketchup to crash. I seem to have narrowed it down to double-cut, and specific dynamic components. It happened to me on 3 different PCs with windows 10 and Sketchup 2017.

Hi Halroach. We looked into this bug report but we could not reproduce it using version 1.1.0.

Have you tried the new version? Maybe the crash has been resolved.

Thanks!

Really useful piece of software!

Images are very good and the instant building volumes are really helpful. However, the feature I like the most is the sync between your model and google street view, that the plugin is able to pull off. It allows you to create a photomatch of your model using what you see in Streetview as a background with a single click and redo it for a new position of the model with a second click.

Amazing "little" feature that can quickly help you turn a simple building block into a very detailed model, useful on a lot of scenarios.

Congratulations Whaat!

thank you.

Done!

Too bad all PB related discussions are gone. I could find this one only via external search. Conflict of interests with Whaat?

What conflict of interests? He has a beta testing forum that he may make public. That's up to him.

Whaat, It would be amazing to have an API.

Could you also perhaps include a callback system when a profile member or assembly is created/edited, so that other plugins could do their magic? On the information side of things, it could be things like updating a "price" attribute, which is based on the volume of the profile output, for instance. For such a callback, the useful variables would be:

the geometry representing the path of a PM the group for the outputted member the face of the profile / components that make up the assembly.

😄) Thanks again!

It's stable now but still dangerous... Fortunately it's at the end of the context menu list. For new users it can easily be confusing to see a "create group from slice" and a "slice model at section"

I will add some clarity to the context menu or maybe a toolbar button instead. Thanks!

Weird, now the user says the problem is not occurring anymore without any explanation. Lovely! 😒

Sorry for wasting your time Dan,TiG. Thanks for the help!

Replace it with a white pic - 512x512 jpg, in the plugin folder.

Hello there,

i bought profilbuilder 1.0. long time ago. Until SU Version 8.0 everything went well. With SU 8.0 i cant create new librarys. Whenever I try to I get the following error message:"unable to add Profile to favourites" Whats wrong here? Perhaps I`ve got an old Version here - if so, is there a download of a newer Version for those of us that bought the "pro version"

thanks for your comments
Uli

Hi,

There is some more info here: http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11521

The technique is somewhat specific to Indigo Renderer

excellent idea.
when will be available? Free will?

I am thinking of releasing a free standalone version but also including it in an upcoming commercial plugin (more as a convenient bonus tool kind of like the knife tool in Artisan which resembles the free Zorro2)

Good to see you in action again Dale! 😄

Hi Modelhead,
Love that one to.

Mouth-watering.

I bought Octane some time ago but I was disappointed by its limitation to just 32 full-color textures.

Dale, why is Indigo RT so cheap? Is there a limitation on the number of textures, too?

I just found the product comparison chart:
http://www.indigorenderer.com/product-comparison

Seems like I'll be missing SSS and IES. Is there a roadmap for future Indigo RT features?

Qustion for Ecuadorian.

What do you mean with: "limitation to just 32 full-color textures"?.
In Octane Render

HOOLLLD EV'RYTHING!!!

After nuch banging-of-head-on-desk... and experiments... I tried Frederik's suggestion. No dice. But did the same and made into a COMPONENT... all solved! ...for now. Though I'm still fuzzy as to why this should actually work. But. Don't question miracles (well, not DIGITAL ones, anyway).

Busy now doing jolly fantastic things with it.

I is now in heaven!

I think by FAR the Artisan will turn out to be the best thing to happen to sketchup to date.

Cheers all,
