    • RE: SketchUp Pro 2016 Tray related bug

      Hello,
      You're nice guy having a good understanding of my concerns. I also wish you or I were a magician but reality quickly comes back!

      I have just installed SketchUp 16 make on another PC French dedicated. Clean install, never had SU16 only old SU8.
      Unfortunately same result as you can see on the picture.
      Driver update do not change anything.

      Edit:
      Another trial on a third pc - my neighbour. No change always this annoying popup.

      I am concerned that you tell me nearly what replied SketchUp to my inquiry then no news over the four following months.
      I am afraid this second attempt follows the same course but I can no longer afford the issue unresolved.
      many thanks anyway
      perhaps the next week will bring any solution. I am waiting for

      Hi Dave,
      I hope you're right! here are OpenGL data. Driver up to date - Windows says 'no best driver available'
      Does it feel your need?

      Whatever checkbox checked or not UseHard, UseMax or UseFast lead to the same result. Always theses buggy popups.

    • SketchUp Pro 2016 Tray related bug

      Hello
      SketchUp 16 pro 64bits 16.1.1.1449 - Windows 10

      January this year I reported a bug filling a form on SketchUp website but didn't get any answer after I sent the following video. I have just updated SU16pro last version but same tricky bug. As you can see a context menu unexpectedly popup each time I right click on group in the outliner - a bit hard to explain as it seems to bug when clicking outside of design window but not in all contexts. The video is worth a thousand of words. Right in SU15 bug in SU16pro.

      YouTube Video SU16pro Bug

      I am now in charge of making the help of our SUalive ongoing extension and problem is I need my SU16pro to make video. I really don't know how to behave? If that annoying bug doesn't vanish in the following weeks I will be obligated to make this help with SketchUp version I have no licence for. I don't like that. Please Help!

      Best Regards

    • RE: Animation SUalive extension. May you test beta version?

      ..<Update each frame> feature...
      The more I think, the more our choice looks contradictory. The feature is not available in Free version but what about new user who want to test any render plugin or whatever? this is not consistent. Besides I have just given a test to what I said "as simple as that" but run in doubt. Ruby script creators are not meant to have a strong background on development and adding another API on top of the SketchUp one is likely to make user confused. Testing SUalive there, another call to listen then one more to tell keep going and over and over. Too much, far too much in my view.
      A copy past of 2 lines for a whole 40 characters would make the job the same way.
      Certainty grows that the two line copy is worth any developer pride (myself included) and such feature has to belong to Free version. But I am alone right now and need your take and other comments and ideas and so forth. The more comments the more likely you will be able to use that feature in the ongoing Free version.

      Please tell me and help me to persuade my team. Alone I won't achieve and final code is not in the box yet. It's all for you.
      Get involved!

    • RE: Animation SUalive extension. May you test beta version?

      Hello,

      Pilou, my pleasure

      I asked my team about rendering and <Update each frame> option in the project tab. The option is provided so that other scripts in SketchUp environment can listen from and also drive the frame by frame progress. So not only render plugins but more widely any script can deal with SUalive.
      As instance you may decide to plug your own image saver or whatever you want like straight video making. In short other plugins listen to SUalive frame update which wait or this plugin before going on next work. As simple as that.

      Have a good day

    • RE: Animation SUalive extension. May you test beta version?

      Thanks for "acceuil" mistake. It's now correct.

      ...seems don't work with render like...
      SUalive is meant to work with all full integrated extensions and your ExplodeView belongs.
      I had a look to SketchUp Rendering extension tutorials on YouTube and here is my point. Please note the following is only my understanding and I may be wrong. If so please tell me!
      I noticed the render plugins export your model at some point which means the extension works on a copy of this model and very likely outside of SketchUp environment. It looks like an external standalone application renders a copy of the model. If so SUalive is not able to catch data from outside SketchUp. This should be a big failure in safety rules. As a consequence :

      • Can these extensions sequentially render frames? perhaps if <Update each frame> is selected in project tab. I really don't know.
      • It's up to the render extension to save incremental images in any folder so that making video.
        Tell me if some of you want to experiment this <Update each frame> with render plugins. We will release a specific version for test. But remember. If your purpose is final standalone video making the render plugin must save all the frames one after another. SUalive will never be able to perform such action.

      ...How to put at the beginning of the animation...
      If you mean how to return to origin state. You can click <Reload model> in tool bar. Other quick buttons are disabled in tool bar. <Run> drop down menu provides <Save and Run> and <Run Selected> allowing you to work only on one or several actions your choice but no slider to get back. You can click <Abort Animation> at any time along the animation or click any scene tab in your model to abort the current animation.

      ...Other seems disabled...
      You merely missed you are using the beta Free version. Light or Full version will come but not yet.

    • RE: Animation SUalive extension. May you test beta version?

      Link to YouTube QuickStart video added on the web page

      Web site is already en/fr clicking the top left icon and SUalive extension will probably turn multi-lingual in the future. But right now there is still a lot of work before releasing both other versions - Light and Full - and also know more about OSX which have the highest priority. Help is no more available. Publishing SUalive on plugin store is the next step right after we feel secure with install and so forth.

      SUalive Free aims small project, not those shown on our home page and interpolation is easy to handle and can do so much as well. Of course you can't do everything from. Other tabs and easing and product tools will be available in Light and Full versions.

      Tell me what mistake on 'Accueil' web page

      Hello

      Update for those having trouble with online video on the web. Download link added for anyone to watch quick start video offline.

      Please may you tell me

      • does SUalive installation correctly work?
      • What is your OS - Win10, 8, 7, XP, OSX?
      • Which Version of SketchUp - 8, 13, 14, 15, 16?
        I know this may bother you but we need to know

      Rotation, translation and all remaining actions work as you may see on our home page videos.

      Hi Pilou,
      of course! it works on Windows PC computers. At least it is mainly meant to work on! SUalive was designed on PC and debugged with SketchUp 8

    • Animation SUalive extension. May you test beta version?

      Hello
      As mentioned in that thread SUalive Free Version is now available - only from the following link now. I would have liked some of you to test on their computer and tell me how it works. OS version, SketchUp version and anything you wish.

      Please visit http://www.SUalive.com about Download and Snapshots and API and available versions.
      You may also download SUalive Freefrom PluginStore

      Have a look at Quick Start video (8'30)

      SUalive is designed to work from SketchUp 8 to the latest available Free Make or Pro.
      As some nice MAC users helped me so kindly in the past we worked at the theoretic level to prepare SUalive for OSX. We get rid of not asynchronous code in javascript and platform dependent code and every things we find. But we know nothing more!

      Please note General discussion is here and talk about API is there

    • RE: Scrambler issue

      Hi Driven
      Mac version has always been in the tube but at the very bottom of the stack. Each time we talk about we decrease its rank. what a shame!
      As you said the user number led us at first but you've just added an argument that might change our mind. On the other hand I would have liked to make you pleased. My thought also goes to slbaumgartner who helped me in the past (I think he also is Mac user). Mac users are so kind to help us and we haven't done much four you. So I'm ready to get even more involved although I know hardly anything about OSX.
      We meet next Friday evening and If you wish I may fight a bit so that Mac version raises at the top of the pile.
      Would you?
      I think I could achieve to persuade from these two arguments.

    • RE: Scrambler issue

      Hi all,
      Thanks both for the meaning of PM.

      Hopefully each and the gathered scripts work correctly under SU8 and SU16. I feel relieved after that previous week of stress. I can tell you now that despite the scrambler limits I'm fully aware of we had made the decision to publish nothing if we were not able to overcome that first issue. There is another one making me ill at ease which is all about license key but I won't talk about on public thread. If any of you have experience to share with me I will appreciate. PM contact please.
      So it's very likely we release the free version after going through beta tests of course. At the time there is still more work.
      As for the two others and as ever said the release is related to acceptable license key making.

      But it may be time you to know a bit more about the (futur) extension itself. You may find the whole thing here www.SUalive.com
      Please let me know. What do you think about the concept and our way to look at animation in sketchUp? Feel free to ask any question.

      I've just filled the register form about developer. The way you ask me let me think that's an essential thing.
      I suspected you thomthom to work for Trimble as along my searches I noticed your 'sketchup team' status right underneath your login in some posts. I have no problem with that and think that Trimble made a great SketchUp version 2016 with its LayOut-style tray. There is a very annoying bug but I hope it to quickly disappear. So I'm a SU2016 pro user.

      @unknownuser said:

      ...I no longer write for these old versions...

      If you want to know why we develop for this old version I can explain and your team might take benefit from. Don't worry. As you may have understood I like Trimble work and the story can be public. It's all about 'the devil is in the detail'. This only explains my current signature. As you wish...

      Have a good week

    • RE: Scrambler issue

      Hi all
      You're right one more time thomthom writing style doesn't matter. Only my mistake!
      Right now I've only focused SU8 both version and SU16. You anticipate my post as regard tests!
      Please tell me what means 'PM' in ...you can PM it...?

      So following my previous post. He integrates!
      not because of his way of coding but he instantly pointed out my mistake. He doesn't start to write the first word of code. Indeed there was three lines of code I missed to check in our files. attr_reader and attr_writer and attr_accessor. In each file one of these lines is too long leading to crash.
      Aiming to please you I spent some time to determinate the exact number of characters sketchUp.Scrambler can deal with.
      the following assumes the start line right against the left edge and the cursor at the end of the line.
      1016 characters are ok
      1017 characters runs the bug splat window

      once more thanks you very much. You are very nice guys.
      I really hope to meet you soon once more. In fact I'm wondering about three beta versions some smart guys like you might run on their computer. but I'm afraid to ask for too much!
      I guess thomthom is Windows user but as far as I remember driven likes OSX.
      Am I right?

      have a good week end
