![]() I also tried Gosu wich is great and fun and pretty similar to Links Manager: I've not used it for long because all my current projects don't need it. It's a Proxy+LOD plugin (Level of Detail).įor Xrefs there is a lot of choices but the two more advanced are:Īnd Inteloide's component manager wich I tested for a long time and is full featured: What it does is replace the component by another in a set component depending on the distance the component is from camera. Those, along with Ghost components, were the only ones I actually used but there is one from Tig that has a very interesting concept: What it does is hide the geometry and replace it by a box. SU2KT wich as you probably know, is a renderer plugin too, (for Kerkythea wich was the base for Thea),ĭoes exactly that box replacement that is talked about in the first post, but doesn't link it to an external ref. The other usual scenarios would be render plugins wich most should deal with proxies nowadays. Those you talk about are some of the most similar to this case. I'd think this would be a VERY useful addition to the arsenal! ![]() I'm totally interested in beta testing this plugin if you want. G - think on how to manage nested Xrefs.Ī - Default to not reduce resolution when inserting and working ī - ability to reduce resolution to all Xref components Ĭ - ability to reduce resolution to specific Xref components ĭ - cooperate with Thea render (and other render engines) to make proxies available at render time without having to toggle the high resolution proxy.Į - Talk to Jiminy about having this integrated with Skalp too, where proxies seem to be able to not even exist in the model. XREFS: For it to work as a Xref basic functions could be automatically performed by the plugin:Ī - check when the external files have been modified from time to time (having it permanently warn is counterproductive as any save will create a warning) user should set time ī - allow for reloading one or several files at the same time.Ĭ - ability to lock components in the model if they are being edited externally but still be able to reload them ĭ - ability to edit components in the model and push the modifications to external model Į - manage or disallow conflicts when a model is being edited both externally and internally.į - open a Xrefed model in a new sketchup instance for editing it isolated. ![]() I'd prefer if the default state of the plugin would be as sketchup is right now: you insert the model and it is inserted as is, not by the bounding box: I think it's very interesting and has great potential. ![]() Both have already seen plugins for implementing them but I've never seen one plugin that would merge the two. I like both ideas and both Xref and Proxy ideas and work daily with both concepts.
