I am using Google Sketchup, which works great. The only problem is that I can't create a face that is Two Fold in Sketchup and that have it import in to EASE that way. Has anyone figured out a way do do this?

Thanks

Matt

The layer name needs to have both materials in the name separated by " $ ". Then the import will create a two-fold face. Check the help file for the exact details or export an EASE model with 2-fold faces to see how it is done.

HTH,

Hold the phone!
I can import a SketchUp model? I'm not at all familiar with SketchUp but it would be great if I could use models built by a coworker. Is it just like importing a model built in AutoCad? I'm still fairly new to EASE and rely heavily on an old printed copy of a tutorial which is too old to mention SketchUp.
Where can I get more info about any special procedures necessary to import models from SketchUp??

Make sure you have the latest version of EASE. See the information about the EASE Web Download - AFMG Web Portal here. You should also sign-up for our newsletter here.

I have attempted to import a SketchUp model into EASE and received a error message that says:

Code 7
Out of memory!

The error couldn't be talking about the computer (it's brand new, tons of memory!) so maybe the program or some kind of buffering space?
