External SKP file for Projector body
It is now possible to load an external SKP file for the projector body, giving a much better look for the end result.
Import and Export to CSV
A very convenient way to backup-restore your projection studies! The format is now more human readable and contains more info. Note that each projector exported is uniquely identified, allowing you to overwrite its properties when importing it again.
Adjustable Level of Detail for Projection Grids
It is now possible to choose between different number of subdivisions, to allow fast iteration for prototyping, and great details when publishing. It is accessible from the new Simproj preferences window.
Better Grid Contours
Grid contours on partially covered objects are now better defined, like illustrated in the pictures below:

Transparent Objects
It is possible to force the projections to go through specific objects, to simulate glass or transparent materials. Note that projections now take the projectors bodies into account !
Export to Disguise Media Server
As requested by some users, you can now export your Simproj studies to a csv format ready to be imported in the Disguise Media Server.
To export, just go to the Plugin -> SimProj -> Export to disguise CSV menu. This includes the following:
- Placement and orientation of projectors
-
Optical properties (throw ratio, lens shift, brightness)
Please refer to this page for more details on the import process in Disguise.
Custom Resolutions Support
You can now specify any resolution you want for your projectors, including any aspect ratio, removing the need to respect standard ratios, as they are constantly evolving…
Ruby Scripting
If you are a developer and want to automate Simproj tasks, you can now control simProj interactively using ruby scripts ! More information in the user manual.
Relative Positions and Roll
From 1.11, positions and roll are now relative to the current drawing axes, allowing you to easily work in dome environment where they are slightly inclined, levering the power of Sketchup drawing axes snapping tools.
Inspector Position Multi-Edit Support
You can now change the positions of multi projectors at once in the inspector, which will only show common values among the active selection.
