Hi !

What I have promised, my feedback:

1 / TIG's script - surely my fault (I am a rookie in ruby scripting), copied the RB in plugins folder with the right file name, but I have not found the 'command' in any menu. I have tried to write a menu definition according other RB scripts but I did not succeed, sorry.

2 / Didier's script - after his server came back to life I was shocked about how many scripts he has written. Congratulations! I have downloaded the right one and it does (in two steps) exactly what I need.

Thank you for your support!

Hi!

I know, this is an old post, but in the meantime I have found a more elegant solution for this and maybe there is still someone in need of it.

When working on more complex models, disabling OpenGL was not the ultimate solution. NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT driver update did not solve the problem either. Than I have found this information on exactly the same problem and its solution ... and it is finally gone!

Dear TIG and Didier !

Thank you very much for your quick reply and of course solution.

I have copied the script of TIG and I am going to try it as soon as possible. I will give you feedback for sure. Maybe funny for you, but it could be one of my most important plugins. I will share with you why, later on.

Thanks!

PS. Dear Didier, I was not able to browse your site. Is it my fault or is it offline sometimes?

Hi there!

I am trying to figure out if there is a plugin that can do the following (or if it is technically possible to do this at all):

Automatically create layers (by material library definitions, layer name=material name) and put every face on the corresponding layer (if face material=wood, create layer with name "wood" and put face on this layer).

Thank you for your help!

hi !

this is an elder machine (almost 4 years), but should not be that lazy Quad 6700 with a Geforce 8800GT

in the past 20 years i have had somehow troubles with ATI and no troubles with GF but maybe i will correct my prejudice

thanks !

hi gaieus!

i have tried it, first it got extremely slow, but the optical bug disappeared! shortly after that, i am not quite sure how/why, it regained almost the original reaction speed even w/o open gl. i hope it remains like that. only the shadows take some time to refresh, but it is much better for me now. i have tested it on a pretty small model, hopefully it will work on large ones too.

thanks for your reply and help!

hi there

i think this is actually not a sketchup bug, i guess it is a probably a hardware (graphic card?) bug, but it simply drives me crazy!
when i try to left-click, the whole screen gets as if offsetted by about the half of the screen lenght making it impossible to see what i am picking . it has surely nothing to do with version (both 7 and 8 do that) .

if someone experienced the same and have found a solution please help me

thanks
