kerim borchaev db44b13df3 [SketchUp] Enable parent non-uniform scaling of a rotated component
- Unreal doesn't allow non-uniform scaling of a parent actor to be applied to a rotated child object(scaling is applied before rotation, in mesh's local space). SketchUp allows this and in some cases it's useful/possible to 'bake' rotation into component's geometry to have same effect in Unreal as in SU.

- Restrictions: Transform 'baking' is done only for purely geometric components(without child components). And when component that has oly single instance(single transform to be baked). Multiple occurrencies of the same instance are allowed since they have the same local transform(which was baked).

- Translation and uniform scaling is not baked(only non-uniform scale, rotate and shear). These is not needed and more convenient for user to keep them in the actor.

Plugin - Manual installation

Plugin files should be installed under "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2020\SketchUp\Plugins"

Plugin files are built into: C:\ue\main\Engine\Binaries\Win64\SketchUpRuby\2020\Plugin

Install by copying contents of the Plugin folder directly into Plugins folder of SketchUp. I.e. omit Plugin folder itself, copy only it's contents.

Resulting directory layout:

"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2020\SketchUp\Plugins" UnrealDatasmithSketchUp2020.rb UnrealDatasmithSketchUp2020/ DatasmithSketchUpRuby2020.so plugin_main.rb

Plugin usage

Plugin should load automatically and present two buttons - one is to export current datasmith scene into a file(currently temp directory) another updates DirectLink
