I really want to use the new graphics engine but I can't 😖

What graphics card are you using?

Can you share it here so we can troubleshoot it on file? Draw a square on world co. 0,0,0 (100;100 in) and when you use Zoom Extents do you still see the square, if not the obj is far away from world co. 0,0,0. -- This would be my guess. Transmutr is free for 7 days so try it to see if this solves your problem.

Blenderkit has a Peterbilt cabover! I keep promising myself to model a Peterbilt conventional.

It's fun to see someone start their Blender journey

Slowly but it's mostly trying out some mid level procedures and simply navigating within Blender. I have to learn to stop hitting the space bar like I do with SU and it sets off the animator in Blender. I'm trying to find some pre-made geometry nodes because some of them are too complicated. I'm sure I could figure it out but I'm too old for that and it's like calculus class.

I'm sure you're aware of all this with Blender. But for whoever else is reading here's an example of a geometry node to create icicles. Fortunately I was able to get it for $1.20 (it was supposed to be free) and it's pretty easy to insert. This is not the one I used for the rendering above.

Thanks, mates and dear Bep for sharing your thoughts and the link to the city archive. Amsterdam is an astounding miniature of sheer beauty and a lovely city full of architectural details to be discovered over a lifetime.
This is great I will benefit and I used to see some amazing drawings from the archive.
The postcards are not meant to be artistic or documentary. They are for a very helpful friend of mine who sells them to the city visitors ( https://www.fineartprints.nl/?srsltid=AfmBOorfvXMCOuFizu2hSoBIPPQRZ4jHzoSUkftRSBaOHGgtffN-DK4P). So I have to make them cheap in less time...Also some repetitive elements such as goblestones, canals, bridges, a bicycle, city lamps and boats must be included and all in all not bigger than A5 paper size, mainly A6!
I have to make many and not two the same... By the way an enjoyable thing to do.

@Rich-O-Brien Ahhh, now I see! Thanks!

@ntxdave ah, thanks mate for your warm welcome. I have been dead busy doing jobs, not having the chance to meet you here (virtually)

Oh I see the update is already here

@Dave-R 2024, my bad, I forgot that they are called tags now. When I said group I meant to put them in same folder in the layers tab so that it is easier to distinguish between tags from an imported model and tags I've made in my own model. Not literally group as in left click- Make group.
I would like to do this with furniture that I import from "bimobject" as it usually comes with lot's of tags that make it hard for me to navigate my tags folder.

@Rich-O-Brien
thank you problem solve
i see the problem repeated a lot in the community here
i recommend this video https://youtu.be/UKfcCpoYH5I

@Rich-O-Brien I put this offer to help on the old thread. I'm not sure if it will be seen, so I'm adding it here too:

I would like to offer to help with work getting MSPhysics updated. I wrote the infamous plugin sph4bar in 2006 which models spherical 4 bar mechanisms. I also wrote GeoSketch, a plugin used by aerospace companies.

In a previous life, I worked for Cadsi, where I integrated DADS (Dynamic Analysis and Design System) into CAD systems such as CATIA and Ideas Master Series.

Now I am retired and have time to kill.

Wow, those are some very nice results! What are the render settings you used for these? We might learn something here.

Yes, sometimes crashes to save image and always crashes File/Setting (sketchup 22 -24)Capture.JPG

I will have a look at this. Do you have a way to reproduce this reliably?

Cheers,
Thomas

Is there any news on MSPhysics being updated for newer versions of SketchUp?

Wow.

It may be getting on in the day but it is seriously better for seeing those. Thanks mate.

Your post doesn't explain everything exactly.
Why did you disable anything ?
An installation of a newer version is sufficient.
To use this tool you need the latest version of it installed - you say you've done that...
You also need the latest version of the SketchUcation toolset installed for any licensing - you say you have done that...
You must also have the latest version of LibFredo6 installed - you have not confirm doing that.

After installing these files you must restart SketchUp to sync everything.

If you have done that, then what appears in the Extensions Manager dialog ?
What appears in the Tools menu submenus, and Toolbars for that extension ?
