Downside of resin printers is that they typically have a smaller printvolume.

That would mean you have to cut the model in even more pieces..

A one-minute presentation of an extension for SketchUp (Make 2017, SU2026) that offers the possibility to divide an irregular 2D surface into equal parts.

I asked Google Gemini to create this extension for me and after the second attempt a code worked. Two or three more discussions and tests followed, resulting in a code that works very quickly (2 seconds) to divide into 3-6 equal and accurate surfaces (one or two decimal places).

Hi Eric (@eric-s), and thanks for the new video!
In Gemini, I used the image from the video and a text explaining that it was necessary to fill in the two sides taking into account the existing landscape, plus adding a wooden house on the left and some boulders and grass on the right, and very quickly this image was generated.
You had an inspired idea for the video. :+1:

It’s interesting.

The other day there was a discussion in the forum about how a rendering was created and I tested it to see how it changes the original picture depending on what I ask it to do (add thatched roof and bougainvillea on the walls).

Then yesterday I tested (including text generation) Aaron’s fireplace (@TheOnlyAaron), both in AI Render (SketchUp) and in Gemini.

A two-minutes presentation of an extension - 'C2C lines 3p’ - for SketchUp (Make 2017, SU2022, SU2026) that offers the possibility to draw a centerline based on successive triple point selections inside a 3D shape.
The extension is still in testing, unpublished.

Now I was preparing the text with the question I wanted to ask @ene_su (Christina) and @colin. :slight_smile:

In the sense that I intend to publish them and I wanted to somehow make sure I didn’t upset the people at Extensions Warehouse.

This might work well with MS Divide Area, or a modification of it, too.

And I also hope I don’t upset @dezmo too much (with this AI), who created a thread (Dezmo’s ex*-tension*) where I had the opportunity to ask him to create an extension, but if this option appeared with AI, I wanted to stop burdening him with a lot of extension requests :wink:.

Dezmo, again, thank you very much for the extensions you created!

I have a SketchUp Extension Review Checklist. It’s not complete but most of my reviewer comments and things I might miss are in it. I recommend you make one (file extension, .md) and keep it in your Plugins folder. As you go along you can add a RuboCop file too. Some of the offenses that crop up can be added to your Checklist. You’ll start to have a nice little basis of things to-do and not-do :slight_smile:
