I remembered having seen, years ago, an extension (then called plugin) that would export views to be used in apps like Photoshop, Gimp, etc. to make selection easier in post-production: alpha, material ID (materials replaced by solid colors) and the like.
Does anyone remember its name and/or author?
Thanks.

After years of wanting way to quickly convert components to group I finally sat down and got it down. This can be useful to turn components into unique objects before performing a solid operation on them /given you don’t use the native solid tools that don’t honor components in the first place).

Hi everybody,
I want make fasteners and screws wiith sketchup make 2017 and I had found only EP_Fastener plugin to do that, but even with old version of sketchup 2015 it is not working. I can’t make threaded hole and screw look like a giant screwbut not a M8 size for example!
So I guess what is wrong (incompatibility of the plugin and if I can’t use it what other solution is existing?
I don’t know if plugin could be used with Web Sketchup?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Eric

Hi - I’m trying to render some models and running into a similar issue in both Vray and Twlight (limited experience with both up until now). When I try to render any kind of sky background, I just get a flat color of a portion of the sky - almost like it’s out of scale with the model?
In Twilight Renderer I’m trying to use the Spherical Sky environment setting, along with images from the Kerkythea resources site (CD Skies), per a SU Essentials tutorial I was following. The preview in the environment settings looks good before I go to render (picture attached).
I’m getting the same issue in Vray. All the tutorials I’ve followed it seems that people get a clear horizon line in their background with the default render settings, and with the domelight added they get a rendered sky texture. I just get a flat color from the background and can pan around to get other colors from the sky, but again it’s a solid color for the entire skybox in my renders.
Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks for any input.
Edit: Apparently I can only post one image per post as a new user. This is from the twilight render.

Hi, I can’t project the human shadow (it’s an imported 3d model) on the floor… “cast shadows” is already selected on the materials. There are also black spots on the floor.
It’s for a school project. I have to do simple things with the program, I’m not an expert.
Could you help me?

Whenever I import to Unreal Engine with Datasmith, my SketchUp file has some missing geometry. I’ve tried working with two sided materials in Unreal (no luck) and have also tried their mesh editor (selecting back faces and flipping them…which works, except none of my textures are on the faces and there are just wayyyy to many to fix. Its one thing to go in and edit like three or four areas, its another to edit a whole model like that.) I understand the issue is with my model’s normals, and that in SketchUp they are often hard to work with. I’ve tried orient faces but it seems to mess things up more (maybe I’m using it wrong) and reverse faces just seems like too much. I am using groups and components in my model. No, I’m not even going to consider moving to another render engine, as I need unreal for a certain project I am working on. Here’s a video to show you what I’m working with.

I have a simple 3D model - only boards - please see my example file.
My wish is to find a way to automatically (that is important) transform such type of a 3D model into a 2D template for a lasercutter.
Features:
1 Nest the objects on a given size of an area. Example 390mm x 390mm (some lasercutter services offer fix sizes of boards like that). With a minimum of scrap.
2 Minimize the lenght of the cutting line. What does that mean? If the lasercutter has a kerf of 0,2mm the objects has to be placed next to each other with exactly that gap.
I hope it is clear, what I mean. If not please ask me. Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks for your help.

I’m looking for an extension that will allow you to view your entire model with low res components for performance. But when you double click a component to edit it. It will load a high res version of that component. Is there anything like that out there? It is very annoying to keep track of my low res and high res component versions manually. And my model will freeze if I do it entirely in high res.

Hello
I am trying to render a square of grass with Fur Vray object, with default definitions.
Unfortunately I get an unexpected strange very thin dark threads, which don’t look as what I expect to get.
What can be the reason for that?
I use Sketchup 17 + Vray next.
Important to say that it is not all time like that, and i didn’t succeed to find out when it is happen, and when is not.
Thanks

Hi
I have been using Twightlight Free very happily for a number of years, but it has suddenly refused to render any image. I have reloaded both Sketchup 2017 and Twilight Free but still the same problem. I have restored the PC to a time before the problem but still no rendering. Completely baffeled. Any ideas of what to try next gratefully received.
