PORTFOLIO programming simple rays 2B flowerbulb simple rays simple springs simple surfaces slender This is a crude version of a raycasting plugin that realizes a very straightforward approach to adding soft shadows inside SketchUp. Since I'm no professional coder but an architect at this point it's very slow and is useless for complicated models. It takes two parameters - Precision, which determines probing resolution according to grid = model.bounds.diagonal / precision and Rays which denotes number of rays cast from each point of grid. The plugin is available at Sketchucation forum here.
