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..

From a few threads about Add Location very big terrain
Create a low poly terrain (20 km wide) with one 4K texture from an imported high poly model + 120 textures (Add Location) in SketchUp
From a post about ‘woodturning basket illusion’
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).

Premieres is just for testing this YouTube feature.
Divide Area Equal by ms
and this, my son, is why none of the plots in our street has a single right angle…
neat ! ![]()
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. ![]()
Pretty spooky and cool what it can do now huh?! Nice work Mihai.
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The extension is still in testing, unpublished.

I asked Google Gemini to create this extension for me and from the first try the code I created worked as I wanted.
wait, if we start publishing plugins (even AI made ones), do we count as devs ? can we go to devcamp in england ?

only good use of AI I have seen suggested here!
Now I was preparing the text with the question I wanted to ask @ene_su (Christina) and @colin. ![]()
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
.
Dezmo, again, thank you very much for the extensions you created!
And of course, JamesD (@3DxJFD) too! ![]()
Thank you!
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 ![]()
