I have had skatter for quite a while now and enjoy using it lots. In that time, I have amassed custom library objects whose creation process is quite tedious as I have to refine the materials, render projections of at least two sides of the model, export Vray proxies, replace the mesh files with faces (textured with the .png projections - kinda like the bundled library does, really), load and save the new files as skatters etc.
Everything worked well until I moved the custom library from the original install location - in case I format the machine - to another disk, then under Skatter’s dialog box options, set a new path linking to the new custom folder. Initially it worked like a charm but out of the blues, I can no longer load any of the library content in sketchup.
If I delete the custom path, it works and I can load and render everything. If I re-link the path, the library window opens yes (though only half of my skatters are displayed) but if I click on load anything, nothing happens. If I remove the path, It works again.
If I can remember correctly I faced the error before, rectified through deleting a certain .xml file, then creating a new skatter and saving it to my custom folder directly rather than letting skatter save to it’s predefined folder (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Skatter\Library\Custom)
Solutions?
PS, if you have time, please analyze this unrelated sketchup file.GateCraash.zip (4.1 MB)
As long as that component is in a model, skatter doesn’t work!
