5D+ Plus - Automate the creation of Construction Drawings

Sorry about my other comment, the issue seems to be with my sketchup… Althought 5D+ is pretty slow with my big models… I will update sketchup and see if it works better.
About your last video :

Dimension appears to be the best thing coming !! In the video you use a set of tag for the tag style view which is great but by doing that the labels stop appearing. Is there a workaround today for that ?? Maybe by overlapping two viewport in layout one in tag style and another in color mode with just the labels visibles ?

Can those tags be downloaded somewhere ?

best regards, Galipond

Don’t worry, just because it is in development, and the text of dimension is using new Curic Text (in development, too) so they were not displaying properly.
You don’t need to download the tags collection. They are included in 5D+ Plus already, you just need to follow the video, choose any objects, right click then choose 5D+ Load Tags.

Red (1) (2) => how to load tags from the template folder
Green (3) (4) (5) (6) => how to export your tags to a folder for later use.

So you may ask, why I need to use 5D+ to load and export. Can I use SketchUp native to save as a file then import into another file?
The answer is NO. Because, they cannot help you export and import tags with ‘TEXTURES’ of tags. And when importing, they cannot override tags have same name.

P/s: In case you still want to download tags collection for reference. They are here. They are files that exported by 5D+ Auto Tag.

Thanks i missed this, it’s a lot to learn again :rofl:

@Cyentruk : I think there may be a bug with the style quick buttons:

It only has the “C” blue button even though I have all of my custom styles set up in config. When I click the C it applies a generic Color style to the view. I am attaching my custom_settings.json for your use if needed.

Hey bro I have three licenses of your plugin. I’ve been trying to understand how to work but I never have the time, do you have any tutorial to go from zero to hero? I want to know if my workflow is slower than yours.

You can try to press reset styles button then add your custom styles folder again.

Hello,

You can refer to this video and watch it at a slower speed if needed:

I previously created tutorial videos from scratch with my own voice (please use dubbing feature of Youtube). However, please note that due to recent updates, the workflow demonstrated in the video below is now slower compared to the process in the latest version.

Hi Cyentruk. I set up a shortcut to display the 5D+ scene manager panel. I would love if the shortcut acted like a toggle, i.e. the pressing of the same shortut would also make this panel disappear. Is that technically possible?

Hi Henrik,
Currently you can’t do that. I’ll add this feature into the next release.

Here they will look like, you can click to the icons or pressing shorcuts to toggle on/off dialogs and tools.

Dimensions are looking good! Very very good!

And the new trays are simple and noise free.

I have a request: Make 5D+ tray potionally cleaner too. My mind get’s lost with so much going on :smiley:

Vietnamese is a lot more “clicky” than I would have initially thought.

This is so great thank you so much.

I have a question : the software is awfully slow when i try to load curic section cuts into a 5d+ section view. Sometimes it works and some times its endless or even crashes. I need a loooot of section so this is quite a problem ? Is it known ? is there something to do ?

You mean loading Curic Section template for the first time or update Curic Section hatche when model changes?
