Hi George,

Thank you so much for that.

I have been using ThruPaint for quite a while. I also use SketchUV. I find using a combo of both plug-ins work really well. I highly recommend using both.

I like to download models from 3DSky, but find that some of the UV mapping needs to be fixed. ThruPaint is particularly great for fixing the UV Mapping for soft furnishings, like sofas with cushions for example. I have attached an image / example of how I like to fix UV Mapping for that. You will notice that the square cushion for ‘IKEA Ektorp 2 Seater hasn’t been fixed yet’.

I didn’t realise that there was an updated version of ThruPaint, so thank you so much for alerting me to that. I will download the latest version and check it out.

I am so glad you emailed me because I will try to upload some of my files again. I was having trouble last time.

I hope you can open my simple SketchUp tiling example. You may discover that D5 will map the tiles correctly (ie: as one combined element) only if all individual tiles have been exploded.

If you wish to experiment with it, let me know what you think.

With kindest regards,
Leah

Hi Karam,

I’ve been thinking about how one of the posts mentioned that introducing .ifc support for D5 would be difficult. Would future .dae import support be a better bet for future releases? Should Autodesk customers push for .dae export from Revit LT rather than .fbx? Autodesk already allows .dae export from Full Revit which works perfectly fine. Surely it would be easier to simply introduce it into future Revit LT releases rather than trying to restore the .fbx function??? Just a thought.

Cheers,
Leah
