...I figured as much, since I couldn't reproduce your error message from the previous post. Less is more, but don't worry—even the free features are still way too extensive (By the way, if you want animated text, you don't have to use any pre-made text-templates — just use a simple standard text and animate it with keyframes instead.)

Thanks, Jo-Ke! Yes, that's exactly the look I was going for. (the rough sketch provided by SkUp itself was extremely helpful for the preparation in GPT 5.5)

@mamoodoo said: I do have to learn to be better organized and be orderly as you said The model I uploaded has as few polygons are possible (given your initial shape). I included plenty of steps and comments on the process. There are a couple of thing that you could learn from that process. The less unnecessary polygons you use, the better. Order of operation matters. Keep your model as modular and low poly as possible before doing the heavy deformations. Add thickness and join modules later on. When you have a big problem, don't try to one-shot at it. Divide it into multiple more manageable problems instead. I hope that can be helpful.

@Rich-O-Brien Yeah that'd be nice. It seems to look and feel a lot like their old 123D app. I hope they add some sort of texture ability.

Thank you too

Which extension are you referring to? All of them? Are you Mac or Windows?

@TIG I installed version 5.0.6 but it still doesn't work

I'd recommend repairing your Windows install. Sound like you have a real mess on your hands to be honest. I use a tool called WinUtil to debloat Windows after installation to remove all the crud it adds. But that's not really related to this thread.

@Didier-Bur Well, obviously the Roundcorner was the first one I tried – and failed exacly like the other popular bevel plugins. As long the bevel plugins can't do the simple and trivial trick to strictly preserve vertexes (even if they would fall back to 0-length edges) and keep the matches between the appropriate vetexes from the original and the beveled contour, it will surely fail on slightly more complex shapes as the concave one in my example. In these circumstances I'll be tempted to develop a workable extension for myself…

Hi Send me an email at support@sketchucation.com regarding publishing here.

No, just an HDRI and a mostly closed area. HDRI comes in via the missing "ceiling". [image: 1779284038891-exterior-view-resized.jpg]

Salut, j'ai préparé mes tablettes d'acide, et j'ai cliqué sur les liens, en vain... je vois pas les vidéos

Bug Report: SU2026 / Fatal crash on startup with D5 Render LiveSync (Errno::EISDIR) Hi Fredo, The last update doesn't fix the D5 issue. Either way, we can only use one of them (LOTT or D5 Render). So now my entire workflow is blocked, and so is the workflow of other D5 and LOTT users. We really need a QUICK fix for this, please. I am reporting a fatal initialization crash occurring on SketchUp 2026.1.2 when using the latest D5 Render LiveSync plugin alongside Lord of the Toolbars (v3.0a) and LibFredo6 (v15.9c). The Master Toolbar (yellow wheels) becomes completely unresponsive, and all custom toolbars disappear from the screen. The Ruby Console highlights an unhandled directory scanning error in lordofthetoolbarsmanager.rbe inside the ghost_command_register method. It appears the script tries to open a sub-directory as a file, throwing an Errno::EISDIR exception. The main folder causing the issue is d5_converter, located at: %AppData%\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\SketchUp\Plugins\d5_converter Exact stack trace: #<Errno::EISDIR: Is a directory @ rb_sysopen - c:/users/[username]/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2026/sketchup/plugins/d5_converter> C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:2290:in `initialize' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:2290:in `open' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:2290:in `copy_file' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:1088:in `copy_file' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:887:in `block in cp' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:2481:in `block in fu_each_src_dest' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:2497:in `fu_each_src_dest0' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:2479:in `fu_each_src_dest' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Tools/RubyStdLib/FileUtils.rb:886:in `cp' c:/users/[username]/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2026/sketchup/plugins/!!fredo6_lordofthetoolbars/lordofthetoolbarsmanager.rbe:733:in `ghost_command_register' c:/users/[username]/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2026/sketchup/plugins/!!fredo6_lordofthetoolbars/lordofthetoolbarsmanager.rbe:1361:in `command_register' Temporary Workaround found: Renaming the d5_converter folder to _d5_converter allows LOTT to load correctly, but it completely breaks the D5 LiveSync connection. Downgrading D5 LiveSync to v1.6 also works. It seems a simple check to skip directories (like File.directory?) during the ghost_command_register file loop would prevent this crash. Thank you for your work!

Hey, Rayscaper users! Rayscaper 0.9.94 Beta is available. You can get it via: The SketchUcation store. Direct download: Rayscaper_Win_0.9.94_Beta.rbz. I recommend upgrading to the latest version. What Changed? Fix occasional skewed or corrupted textures in renders. Fix render failures when emissive materials are assigned to a group or component instance instead of directly to faces. (Cheers @krass for helping me find this bug!) Full release notes: rayscaper.com/manual/release-notes Help Me Build the Community If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders (final or work-in-progress, it doesn't matter)! This is motivating and helps me showcase its capabilities to new users. Follow me on X. Happy Rendering! Thomas
