All good mate, thanks so much for the offer, I have just used a simple dome without the kicked out edge section using follow me as you suggested. Thanks again for your help! Cheers, Nick

Hello, found an easy solution, ignore everything ayone else said. When you are selecting a different material make sure your default tray on the right under Materials has "select" selected instead of Edit, doing this prevents editing of the texture's shade and wont make it a shade darker every time you eye drop it. This 100% works.

Second proposal for columns/arches. The first three images were AI-generated from renderings. I'm experimenting with different atmospheres for the cathedral's interior. Larger versions are available at these links. https://zupimages.net/up/25/44/iq27.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/25/44/hc50.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/25/44/4onr.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/25/44/bxkx.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/25/44/yq14.jpg [image: 1761757549241-01.jpg] [image: 1761757559015-1sd.jpg] [image: 1761757570051-01.jpg] [image: 1761757580369-p01.jpg] [image: 1761757586466-p02.jpg] [image: 1761757593217-p03.jpg] [image: 1761757598976-p04.jpg] [image: 1761757604961-p05.jpg]

If you open the Ruby Console while invoking the tool it might provide clues. Also, sharing if you are Windows/Mac. I presume you are using recent updated versions of both Libfredo and FredoScale? I can invoke the TAB panel without issue on SU2026 with no errors in Ruby Console.

@RASKL Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.

I still have completely finished the PDF reports since I've had my head so buried in the Timoshenko stuff for a couple of weeks (probably not a good use of my time but I couldn't resist).  Here is some output for a couple of cases (two span and three span beam, equal spans with a UDL).  What is interesting is the shape of the deflection graphs for the Timoshenko analysis.  I think the numbers are correct but to be honest I really don't have another 3rd party program I can fully test against. I'm using a kappa of 5/6 and a G of 1/16 the E value, so in this case G = 106,250 Also I am just using the listed value of E for my Timoshenko calculations even though it already includes a 3% bump for shear built in. EB = Euler Bernoulli, TIMO = Timoshenko http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/EB_TEST8_2SPAN_UDL.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/EB_TEST8_3SPAN_UDL.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_2SPAN_UDL.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_3SPAN_UDL.pdf As a sanity check I multiplied my calculated value of G above by 10,000 in the code and then ran the TIMO analysis, the results are almost identical to the EB analysis as expected, so that tells me that with an extreme stiffness the TIMO degrades to an EB analysis as it should in theory.  Here are the links to the TIMO analsys with a 10,000X inflated G: http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_2SPAN_UDL_GMAX.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_3SPAN_UDL_GMAX.pdf

@Leggy said in help with a thread: it seems to be in hidden sections, so would have to select every faucet on the plane and line Likely you need to weld some edges first. @Leggy said in help with a thread: what I found is a difference in tolerances, I printed 3 nuts with 0.1/15/2 offsets in petg and tpu, 0.1 was good in petg, but had to go to 0.2 for tpu Not surprising. They have different shrink rates.

@panixia thanks

Let's hope for a lasting peace, then people may travel freely. I can not figure out why our world is like this now.

Overhang is 45 so no support needed, support at ideamaker gave me a gcode for xy and it worked good To be honest the raise 3d machines can’t compete with the bambus

SketchUp (wisely) does not allow setting TAB as a shortcut accelerator key. Using TAB in a tool is likely to clash with OS and application GUI interpretation of the key.

The spooks are gone... ? What the Freaky Friday etc. Better call Scummy and Mouldy.

@MLUY you could select all the geometry and do the same thing. You'll only soften edges in which the angle between face normals is less than or equal to the angle set in the Soften Edges panel.

@TIG thank you

I agree with t'others, really good to see these.

Thank you @Glenn-at-home
