New SketchUp Extension: Composition Guides – Extensions

Updates

It seems to be like there’s a pull down for side ratio as properly. It really works as a secure body software as properly?

Sure. You too can change the digicam Side Ratio between the next:

• Match Viewport
• 16:9 – Widescreen
• 1:1 – Sq.
• 4:3 – Image
• 5:4 – Panorama
• 4:5 – Portrait

Do you assume it’s price it so as to add the golden ratio as properly : 1:1.618…

2:3 can be good as that’s what 35mm cameras (and a few others) do.

I’ll add 2:3 and 3:2 side ratio for the subsequent replace.

Thanks for the suggestion @RTCool !

I’ll add the golden ratio 1:1.618 for the subsequent replace.

I may even see if I can add an possibility for the person so as to add their very own customized ratio.

Thanks @jean_lemire_1 for the suggestion.

The Extension Warehouse web page has a obtain button, that downloads an empty textual content file.

The web page additionally solely says Home windows compatibility. It appears to work on Mac. I see that within the Sketchucation model you have already got a Golden Ratio button.

This can be a downside. When my extension was authorized I downloaded it efficiently and not using a downside. However, now such as you say it solely downloads a .txt file. I ponder what occurred.

I’ll attempt to contact the Extensibility staff on Monday about this.
Thanks for reporting this since I used to be not conscious of it.

For the time being, folks can use Gumroad or SketchUcation Plugin Retailer to obtain the .rbz file.

I personally don’t have a Mac to check my extensions so I’ve to attend till I get affirmation that they work on Mac.

Due to you, now I do know they work so I’ll replace the compatibility information to incorporate Mac within the subsequent replace.

There’s a Golden Ratio part for drawing a Grid overlay referred to as Phi and two Triangle traces based mostly on the Golden ratio.

Nevertheless, what I’ll embrace subsequent that’s not but current within the extension is a secure body based mostly on the Golden Side Ratio. This might be chosen on the dropdown menu together with the opposite side ratio choices.

These are the present choices for model 0.0.6

• Match Viewport
• 16:9 – Widescreen
• 1:1 – Sq.
• 4:3 – Image
• 5:4 – Panorama
• 4:5 – Portrait

I’ll add these for subsequent replace:

• 3:2 – Normal (Panorama)
• 2:3 – Normal (Portrait)
• 1.618:1 – Golden Ratio (Panorama)
• 1:1.618 – Golden Ratio (Portrait)

Nice thought. It might be nice to for the grids to stay energetic/seen when panning and orbiting to assist with alignment/positioning. If doable that’s.

That may make it 10x simpler to get the digicam into the specified place. I agree this could be an superior characteristic for the extension to be extra helpful.

One thing I seen is that the obtain I can do from the EW assessment web page exhibits an RBZ that has a special title to the one from SketchUcation. I doubt that’s the reason for getting the clean .txt file, but it surely did appear odd.

You might be right about Extension Warehouse having a special .rbz file than those used for SketchUcation Plugin Retailer and my Gumroad Retailer.

The distinction is that once I submit the .rbz file to the Extension Warehouse it isn’t Encrypted. That method the ‘Extensibility Workforce’ can ensure the code doesn’t break issues. In the event that they approve the code then it is going to be encrypted afterward.

For distributing my extension outdoors the Extension Warehouse I Encrypt and Signal the .rbz myself.

Simply found that once I use the SpaceMouse from 3DCONNEXION the grids stay energetic/seen when transferring the digicam!

I’m very completely satisfied that is the case as a result of I discover it very helpful when positioning the digicam whereas utilizing the Composition Guides grids.

Very nice Plugin @indie3d! i’d counsel including the Golden spiral as a part of the golden ratio tabs.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into how I can obtain the golden spiral for a future replace.
