I used the Meshlab software to align meshes that were generated with a lidar scanning app. The files were originally in .usdz but I converted them in .ply to be able to import them in Meshlab. I know need to import those aligned files into Sketchup while keeping textures on and scale. Here are the file types I can import in sketchup: .dwg/.dxf, .dmp, .3ds, .dae, .ifc, .stl. I also have the universal importer that allows me to import almost any format except .usdz. So far I tried .dae, .obj, .ply and .dxf file formats but textures and scales are both lost in the process.

What are the details of your problem? I'm working on a Ruby script for SketchUp to automate the process of adding text annotations within my model. I need to count instances of specific components ("Enkeltreol" and "Dobbeltreol") and display their totals as text within the model. I'm attempting to use the add_3d_text method for this purpose, but I keep running into a TypeError that I can't resolve. What did you try and what were you expecting? I've tried using the add_3d_text method to create the text annotations, but the script either doesn't produce text in the model, or it results in a Type ..read more

I am training myself currently in Sketch Up, so this might be a trivial question. I get a SketchUp file from another program and want to replace, the components inn that file with my components. However the new component should be placed in another angle. As example I want to replace the component of a roof with the component of a house. If the angle stays the same the house is in an angle as the roof and not flat on the floor. As example I want to replace the component of a roof with the component of a house. If the angle stays the same the house is in an angle as the roof and not flat on the ..read more

Using Sketchup I am trying to import a 3ds file to be a part of my model but when I import the file (or any other file that wasn't made in SketchUp) all the curved surfaces, of which there are many, are covered in a ridiculous density of lines. It looks like its triangulated ready to 3D print and I can't delete the lines without it removing the surfaces as well. Does anybody know of a plugin or anything that I can use to open the file more cleanly? Or is it simply a matter of SketchUp processing surfaces differently and it can't really be done? Any help much appreciated. I've tried deleting th ..read more

How can I take the user's current view in Sketchup, which I have done and create a URL link for this image that, if I was to paste into a browser would have a direct link to the image not a website with the image within, and can be publicly viewed anyone with the link if it was to be pasted into a browser. The code below gets the user current view, but how to then generate this URL for this image: ``` require "sketchup.rb" require "base64" canvas_width = 800 canvas_height = 600 options = { :filename => "view.png", :width => canvas_width, :height => canvas_height, :antialias ..read more
