Hi again ️ even though I don't exactly understand what kind of result you're aiming for, maybe these tips will help you: To create my own custom background, I edit my own HD JPG (1920 x 1080 px). In my example, a simple green JPG created using any image editor. This way, I set the video format in advance. This JPG can be a custom background color or even the family photo from last Christmas. This background image spans over the entire duration of the video and is located on the lowest video track! In the video tracks above it, you can play around with your content: You can make text or other image files fly across the screen, or simply fade them in or out at your desired speed, or animate them, or or or... (In my experience, less is often better than too much.) Your slideshow in the track editor will probably end up looking something like a staircase that rises diagonally upward to the right Once you figure out how to create a nice transition or a keyframe animation, capCut is actually pretty simple and straightforward...

Here is another example, a much simpler L-shaped footprint with one main girder and three hip girders: [image: 1778388204545-truss_su924_800-resized.jpg] Even this roof has a suspect truss (shaded red), that I am uncertain about. Arguably this one is so simple one could truncate the smaller hip set and then run a valley set up onto the main roof (hip set). However without any overframing I think this is what you end up with. The irregular trusses are shaded in purple and have had their webbing removed. [image: 1778388213589-truss_su925_800.jpg] If anyone has some truss layout plans (PDF) for complex roofs that they would not mind sharing with me that would be very much appreciated. I am specifically looking for a full set, ie. the truss layout and then the shop plans that show each truss profile. I need to study this further.

@prairiestatefoamer said: nwhs Archive I got the truck plans here. The Flexicoil trucks. I used photos and other sources to update those. https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=221319 The other place was the Canadian Pacific Historical Association. Here's the search page. You have to register. https://www.cptracks.ca/search.asp I found a lot of other plans there for cab, frames, etc. You can search for SD-45 or SD-40 (modify those). Flickr is a good source too for details. Other stuff here too. https://donstrack.smugmug.com/UtahRails/Locomotive-Details [image: 1778382363787-1769044356622-resized.jpg]

@Chris1219 This is a choice you have to make. There is a thread on this question in the Sketchup forum. In your case, you can play with this parameter (Offset Mode) [image: 1778364361976-849ad237-bdb4-42af-9056-54aa33bb7389-image.jpeg]

@fredo6 Here is the model. I always made one screenshot using the native SketchUp section fill, and the second screenshot using FredoSection. The section is shown in both the existing state and the proposed/new state. The issue occurs on walls that are duplicated and differ between the existing state and the proposed/new state.

Most excellent !

@Gowri211034 I can see in our system your user has made several purchase attempts. Unfortunately I can not see any of these purchase payments being completed. Have you received a receipt about the payment from PayPal or Stripe? If yes, please send it to support@sketchucation.com and maybe also by private chat to me.

Sure TIG. As shown in the video, its just an extension that opens a window so that when you execute Ruby: DevLog.info("Hello world") It shows in the log window. You can filter on log level and there are: DevLog.warn("oo, something might be bad") DevLog.error("oo, this is an error") DevLog.fatal("oo, I cannot continue") When you close SketchUp, the entire log file is saved to %Temp% USP: Its around 4000x faster than puts

Version 4.5.2b - 05.09.2026 Added the following (L.J. Smith) rosettes: LJ7037, LJ7027, LJ7026, LJ7033. Fixed a floating point rounding error in the "Move Segment" tool. Enabled handrailing fittings (ie. rosettes) for the start and end of a handrail when no post at these locations is selected. Added a left and right half-post component into the newel post library.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks, Appreciate the heads-up. I’m currently polishing nEVEn before the Extension Warehouse release. More screenshots and workflow demos coming soon.

@Stephen-H PS: I believed you... but if you go the the EW's page Github link to TT_Lib and go to this page: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/tt-library-2/downloads/?tab=tags Scroll down to 2.10.2 and on the right click ZIP and an old archived version can be downloaded. Then extract the ZIP file's contents. You only need the TT_Lib2.rb file and TT_Lib2 folder - ignore the rest. Copy those two into your Plugins folder [you can open that using the Extensions > SketchUcation submenu item] and then restart SketchUp to sync. This old Lib is not 'signed' in its subfolder, but as long as you have your Extension Manager > Loading policy set to 'Unrestricted' that won't matter. Does that work ?

Hello Majid. Tried calling you on WhatsApp a few months ago. Hope you're staying out of harms way. Peace, Gus

The new half-baked pbr thing does more harm than good.

@Mike-Amos said: For your service and 'injuries' received, you are more than due and hopefully that settlement will keep you well/safe. That extended holiday, have a blast and make some good memories. Yes thanks mate whilst in Thailand it will be a test to see if i will retire there and will make a trip to da nang in Vietnam to see if that might work.

@pixelcruncher said: @Krass Thanks for the report, I can confirm the error with GPU rendering. Would you mind sending me the scene so I can try to reproduce the error? Thanks, Thomas Hello, it's done, I sent you the file
