Hi, is there a free rendering software for SketchUp ? I tried the V-RAY demo, it's great but i cant afford the license, if it was like 50$ i would buy it but almost 1000$ is way beyond my budget.
I also downloaded Visualizer, but it's not in the extensions toolbar, even after system restart.

Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hi, I used the curviloft tool to create a curved face, but when I used the unwrapped and flatten face tool on it, it says not responding. It went on for at least an hour. I tried it again, but it still says not responding. Do I need to upgrade my laptop's RAM or is the source of the problem the program?

Hi guys,

When I have a detailed model (proxies, modelled 3d objects, plants) It takes too long to building scene phase in sketchup. I am not talking about the rendering time or light cache time, sketchup is stuck at least one hour and then vray starting to calculate...

Are you guys have the same problem with me? I am clicking the render icon and then let the sketchup alone, but nothing happening for a long time...

Hey does anyone design with point loads in mind? I build and design and found myself designing cost into a project and I should have known better. I decided to add in typical point loads in PlusSpec 2017 trusses and wall frames, the version is not released yet but it will be in the next few weeks.
If you are not sure what a point load is it is where a concentrated load is placed in a wall, a distinct section that carries more weight &/or uplift. EG a window jack stud or a Girder truss.
'Existing PlusSpec users will get this in the next release. I think this will come in handy when designing to a budget. In the example above I could have saved money on the design by adding a window either side of the girder or increase the setback of the truncated girder truss. It is more value engineering I guess, the red simply makes typical point load areas more evident and allows you or your engineer to suggest potential solutions. Will anyone find this useful or am I a bit OCD?

I installed Sketchup 2017, then tried to install Kerkythea via the download page link.
It didn't work. So I tried the Echo Boost, which worked except that the
render pre-sets were missing. So I tried the SU2KT updated version and that
worked except that it kept repeatedly crashing and no matter what I tried,
the material libraries (all mat.zip) would not install (unknown extension,
etc.).

No permission problems. Kerkythea path is correct:
Users>Name>AppData>Roaming>Sketchup>Kerkythea. 16 GB Ram, Windows 8.1.

I tried to post this on the Kerythea forum, but the post never appeared and the entire forum appears to be overall inactive.

What can I do to fix this? Is there an updated Echo Boost that solves the
pre-sets problem?

Hi

Has anybody tried both PlusSpec and Profile Builder and which one do you recommend all things considered such as cost, speed and so on.

One of my main concerns about PlusSpec at the moment is the fact I don't want to design standard buildings and I'm unsure as to whether that will erode a lot of the functionality of the plug in. I'd be inputting a lot of data at that point and would that mean Profile Builder comes into it's own at the cheaper price tag?

Also, has anyone had experience with the estimating tools on both plugins and how accurate/smart are they?

Thanks

Hello,

I am tasked with creating my 3D model on sketch up, using the Eneroth axonometric plug-in view, to create an animation for this project. The model is already completed and groups/components correctly made. My model is a box that opens up and out in a specific order, transforming into a building. The issue I am having is when I pull the roof up, it will not snap correctly to the geometry. If I take the axon off, it works as normal. Is there a way I can change a setting to make the axon snap better?

I've recently created a complex lattice structure on a building glass roof. "Lines to Tube" was such a huge help as all lines become tubing, unlike Follow Me which stops at intersecting lines.

However, now I wonder if it's possible to create square tubing instead of circular tubing. Of course the precision could be lowered to 4 to make it a square. The problem is, the profile will be a 45 degree rotated square, like a rhombus.

Is there such plugin or an idea to make this possible?
