EP Fasteners don't scale
@Gumbo wrote:
I created some bolts with EP fasteners and I want to scale them up 10x to workaround common issues with SU on small parts.
Problem is when I select the scale tool, the fasteners are highlighted in yellow as usual but there are no handles to scale them.
Is this normal with EP fasteners ?

@arq.lisbethv3 wrote:
The lights shine through the kitchen shelf.
Hi, I wanted to know if someone has the same problem with the lights. They cross the ledge and I don’t know what to do, I tried to lower the intensity away from the wall and closer to the edge of the ledge, also change from light rectangle to light mesh and the same thing happens.Two images with light mesh and light rectangle are shown. Both with different colors.

Sketchup 2020 Vray Next crash
@waldo.brandt wrote:
Hi. For all the Vray Skecthup users. When I use interactive render and edit materials in Vray Next my sketchup crash(or does not respond) sometimes/most of the times. What is the cause of this. Software or hardware? The file is not very big 35Mb. I have a i7 7700 Intel 4 cores 3.60 GHz and a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti with 32 GB ram. Would love to work in interactive mode but most of the time need to edit render and stop, edit render and stop. Rather working straight in interactive mode. Has someone experienced this before. And has anybody resolved this, is this a common bug? Thank you.

Excel Reports - without the need for csv
@kengey wrote:
What if reports would be written directly to Excel files, without the need to export to .csv and manually copy the data, search for the correct .xlsx template file, paste the data and save the resulting .xslx as a new file, without accidentally overwriting the .xlsx that is the actual template?
Would that be useful?
I have a proof of concept ready and I am wondering if there is interest for such an extension. Right now:
- a template is nothing more than an excel file with an “input” sheet. Additionally, the template can have as many other sheets, images, charts, formulas, … as you would like.
- the first row of the input sheet defines what should be placed in the file. You can have this as PersistentId, Path (chain of persistent ids, for nesting), name, definition name, whether it is a group or component, … and all dynamic attribute values.
You can see a proof of concept here:
If you believe this seems useful to you, just let me know. If you believe it is not useful yet, but could be with some additional features, also, please feel free to let me know.

Background disappears Vray
@stenlund wrote:
Hello! I’m new to vray, and have stumbled upon this transparency problem, where one of my glass facades turns completely transparent when saved as a png, losing both the inside and the backgound. I have the same materials and settings for all the glass facades, but the problem occurs only on this one.
Have seen this issue in other posts, but not quite understood the solution… Hope someone could help me out!

Should We Build a PDF Import/Edit Extension?
@jeanhaney wrote:
Hi everyone!
We (Visual Integrity) make PDF conversion tools and have plugins for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, Visio, and PowerPoint. We are exploring building an extension for Sketchup Pro.
Our technology opens and explodes PDF into its objects, attributes, layers, and text, all accessible and available for modification. It’s different from PDF Importer, an existing extension that opens a PDF file as a base layer for snapping and measuring.
Today, it seems many people use InkScape to open PDF and convert it to DXF or DWG for use in Sketchup Pro. Our extension would eliminate this intermediate step. It will be based on our pdf2cad, a standalone program that converts PDF files in batch mode to DXF and DWG.
I’m curious to hear thoughts from this group. Specific questions we’d like to explore are:
- Do you ever get PDF drawings that you want to open and edit in Sketchup Pro?
- Would you prefer to use a new PDF Edit Extension for Sketchup Pro, a standalone program like pdf2cad or InkScape as an intermediate step?
- Our extension would be free for 30 days. After that, would you be willing to pay $59 per year to continue using it? More, less?
- What functionality would be key when opening PDF-based graphics for editing in Sketchup Pro?
If you want to learn more about our PDF conversion technology, please take a look at pdf2cad to examine the potential features of a PDF Edit Extension for Sketchup Pro.
I’m looking forward to hearing from many of you on the forum!
Thanks and keep well,
jean -

IvyCAD, 2D drawing companion for tablets
@Lizard_King wrote:
Hello everyone,
long story short: I was looking for a quick tool to “trace” paths over bitmap images AND doing it over the sofa in the evening
…so I made up this application to allow me completing the task,
the goal was to make this application as quick, intuitive and handy as I could,
and while coding I kept adding more features to make it more complete and powerful, it’s now almost a (very basic) 2D CAD.
It natively exports to DXF so you can easily import your files into Sketchup Pro (and I think there are extensions to import DXF files anyway).
Once imported into Sketchup, you can “create faces” filling your line drawings to easily pull up 3D walls, or intersect the lines where you need, or whatever. WIth features like “grid” and “snapping” I think it could be very comfortable to lay down simple floor plans. The app is meant to be used on a tablet with a stylus and “palm rejection” option enabled.The package below contains both the Windows version (mostly for evaluation purposes) and the Android version, plus a very quick documentation PDF:
The fact the app is tagged “free” means it’s free for commercial and non-commercial use, and it also means there’s chance for a future paid version with many more features for a very small fee, but it depends on the interest it gathers and my available time (and my migraines :D).
Thank you for your attention and sorry in advance in case this is not the correct place to post this / not conform to forum policy / not relevant for anybody.
Note: if you are going to export for Sketchup make sure you tick the option “Export 0 thickness lines” in the “Settings” window, otherwise Sketchup will make “vertical faces” of “thickness” height.
Note2: (limitation) it won’t handle more than about 18000 segments
