SU2KT Wish & Bug list

[ToMasz]

Please post your wishes here. I will be adding wishes and erasing posts
to keep thread clear.

Wish list:

1. Vertex welding - required for Bevel and Wireframe.

2. Grouping lights

3. Section export

4. Animation render with two passes: first normal rendering and second alpha mask and combine two images.

5. Dividing animation into pieces for multiple computer\threads rendering.

6. Progress bar.

7. Cancel button while exporting.

8. Exporting background 'photomatch' image as KT background.



10. Materials by layers..

11. Soft light radius in SU Light settings.

12. Infinite plane when ground enabled in SU.

13. background colour from SU if sky is disabled

14. Manual\automatic camera focus.

15. Groups exported as KT groups.

16. Separate icons for point & ies lights

Bug list:

1. Su2kt doesn't want to produce any effect if path for save file is desktop or 'My Documents'. It works ok if any other path used (Thanks Miki!)

2. SU2KT to calculate the intensity when not automatically opened in KT.

3. In some Vista installations KT automatic startup doesn't work.

4. Better handling of textures UV mapped by other plugins.

8. Saving into 'My Documents' folder in Windows doesn't work.

Tomasz,
These items may already be available, but I'll put in my tuppence worth!

1. Can an object in SKUP be assigned as an infinite plane in KT?
2. Can a simple placeholder object in SKUP be replaced with a complex object (the forthcoming tree objects, for instance) in KT. Perhaps the scale in SKUP could be reflected in KT.
3. A SKUP material library which matches the default libraries in KT.
4. An updated PDF help file (the KT 2007 version was very helpful).
5. Assign globals in SKUP, so the location doesn't jump once you select them in KT. I keep ending up with Ghana, which has a bit more sun than Scotland!
Thanks very much for your efforts,
Jim

Hey guys,

New to the forum. I used SU6 (pro) with su2kt for my last Uni project and found it really good. I have just installed SU7, and I have the same problem being unable to insert either spot or point lights into my model in the SU window.

I tried removing all the scripts as you suggested and just put the su2kt ones back in the plugins folder, still no joy.

Any developments on this?

Cheers, Heff.

Thanks for the report. Will fix it.

Hi, we have tried installing Kerkythea for windows twice but on opening it crashes saying unable to read memory!? Podium plug in operateing fine.

Everything else running well: Sketchup 8, Microstation, Corel etc

Win XP Pro sp3 60gb free mem with 1.3gb ram.

Hope you can help...we would like to evaluate the software.

Many thanks,

Mark - Bruus Design

to test compatibility issues:
rename current plugins folder to "plugins-original"
create new empty folder in su's program folder called "plugins"
install KT with the installer, it will now be installed into the clean plugins folder
open SketchUp, see if crash occurs.
if not,
drag and drop the suspected plugin that may be causing the instability into the new folder "plugins" and re-open SU to see if it works fine. if so, repeat with other plugins you suspect may be causing the incompatability until you find the culprit.

post the info about the culprit ruby here, so that Thomaz can work something out with the other developer.

Hi, i noticed SU2K is not compatible with curved uvtools maped surfaces, i guess this is my "wish" -.-. And good job with the exporter, getting better and better.
