I myself have hit the same wall. There seems to be no way to get Landserf to install.
I'm trying to create Lake Superior with an accurate lake bottom. There doesn't seem to be one out there already (?)
Any other ways to convert a DTM to a .bin file?

Re: problems and ideas to new updates
I decided to uninstall it. Perhaps wait until the next release to try it again.

Re: Conversion tools
Hi, I tried the drag and drop as you suggested. Here is a screen capture of the operation: https://app.box.com/s/pll4yp4dljsbokd0haais8tno5ubf4p1
It yields no result. I've created a number of 3ds files based on simpler or earlier versions of sketchup. I'm really at a loss at this point.

Re: Conversion tools
Hello, thanks for the file. This seems to be giving me trouble as well. I copy both files into the model directory and run it from the command prompt. I still get no result. I am running a Windows 11 machine with a I5-8300h cpu @ 2.30/gHz 2.3 GHz I'm starting to wonder if I should be running a Windo...

Re: Conversion tools
Hi, I did download the script, however my Windows 10 machine asks for a *.dll file in order to run it. When searching for the file, there a plenty of sketchy sites just itching for you to download some compromising code. Any trustworthy links and instructions on what folder to install it?

Re: Conversion tools
Thank you for posting this, I've been tracking what settings I've tried as was suggested by the writer of AC3D's exporter. I'm starting to suspect that the original SKP model is just too complex. the file is 49,700 kb, 129k faces, 49 materials. The AC3D file is 54,699kb. Judging by what other people...

Re: Conversion tools
I've been struggling for the past year with the various conversion tools out there. I either have to wait for an old DirectX exporter running in Sketchup 17, which takes anywhere from 12-18 hours to complete in order to see if you have a playable model. Or I've tried Autoconverter and AC3D, who both...

Re: Help with animations
As an alternative, I learned of AC3D from a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_u7EQ47sxo As a means of transporting a ship built in Sketchup (17) to DirectX. I have not been successful yet. Though the video makes it fairly straightforward, something is getting lost in the translation. ...

Re: Help with animations
Bump! I've been trying AC3d to do a sketchup to .X conversion and it's a nightmare. Perhaps post a download of the Deep Exploration install package?

^^^Love it! I was playing with cargo in Vehicle Simulator to achieve the same effect and not having any luck.

Simulating a list
Hello, I was wondering if Cargo could be used to create a list. I want to get an 11 degree list to Starboard on the ship I'm working on. Also, is it possible to modify the cargo weight in Vehicle Simulator? I found the X file, but no config file for it. I assume something has to contain the data?

Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to know for the lights! Thank you so much!! *edit: I should ask, what do scale, angle and diameter control? And what factors do you use to set them?

New user - new model WIP
Hello veterans. I'm new and working to get as real a simulation of a ship known as the Edumund Fitzgerald and the storm that took it, as possible. I've spent the last year working and re-working the model in Sketchup, as I was able to find a DirectX exporter. Blender doesn't seem to support DirectX ...
