I also had some problems with changing XYZ coordinates for sketchup plugin but I solved it there

If you need any help with the transformation matrix please post it.

your program is very interesting, but would it be possible to have a video tutorial please!!

Video tutorial is needed.

Update

It is my pleasure to announce that I reworked parts of my import script (again ), and that triangles as well as quads are now supported. It will discard any faces that have 5 vertices or above so be careful. Big thanks go to Zay for sending me some sample OBJs to test with.

I've also made a button in Phantom Scatter Compute that allows you to scale. I've programmed it so it will save the value of the scale in the library folder so you don't have to enter it over and over again. My recommendation is that you scale your model to meters.

face_off (Paul), I think something else is going on somewhere. I'm originally a hobbyist game programmer and I always use the Z-axis to be up. And that is the case in this program too... I'll get to it eventually, there is a bunch of stuff that needs work that has priority right now.

Sure, I'll add a video tutorial when I feel the product is good enough. It really isn't all that complex to use though, I streamlined it as much as possible. Is the manual concept not clear enough?

To switch between Y and Z axis I used this transformation in SU plugin

tt=[tr[0],tr[8],-(tr[4]),tr[12].to_m, tr[2],tr[10],-(tr[6]),tr[14].to_m, -(tr[1]),-(tr[9]),tr[5],-(tr[13].to_m)]

PS. Great update Phantom. Can't wait to buy your software.

For me this concept manual is clear and enough. Maybe later, when your solution bacome more complex we would need a video tutorial. However I may be wrong, because we are following your work almost from the first codeline, so we have now a clear view about it. I don't know how a new customer will understand it.

where i can download this?
I have to use sketchUp or not?

Thanks

It is currently being tested. I have no intention of bringing out a broken product, it's done when it's done. I will soon invite some people on a closed beta.

Personally I'm a SketchUp user, but any OBJ will work as long as it's made of triangles and/or quads. You can use any kind of program as long as it meets this criteria.

Can you show an example of OBJ scattered on surface that is not from topdown only (like a plane/mesh).. i.e. a globe that is scattered all around? Is taht possible as well?
