I've had a couple requests in the last week that I finish the Complex Truss module. The last time I worked in earnest on the complex roof module was about four years ago now. At that time my attempts to come up with a successful algorithm for laying out the trusses were not successful. I thought I might revisit the topic again today with the additional interest shown. However after giving this some thought and creating some various tests I'm still not sure how to do it. Additionally even if I did create an algorithm it would need to be able to handle some interesting cases and do a number of checks. Case in point look at the roof below, manually framed with simplified truss place holders. I've provided the rafter framing for comparison (automatically produced by the complex rafter module). This would be your typical complex roof, lots of roof planes and no apparent good method to truss it out. My problem is the red colored truss, it is too shallow in a couple spots. I guess what I'm saying is that even if I create an algorithm which can get one to this point, I still don't even know if it is correct or will work. I would love to gather some feedback and thoughts on how to frame this out with trusses from those who are working or have worked in the industry.

@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

i know this post is old but are you able to send the link where you bought the plans as im unable to find them in the nwhs Archives Database

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.

@HornOxx said: Hi️ I'm making fast and simple progress with CapCut—it's very simple and straightforward (and there are a lot of help-tuts on Youtube) It has all the needed features, such as transitions, text, sound, etc., and even keyframe animation... https://www.capcut.com [image: 1778045301527-db968400-dc2e-4265-a868-82e8e70bcf4b-image.jpeg] I am still trying to learn how to use the CapCut software. So far, I am not doing as good as I would like but the software looks very powerful. For my first video, I would like to video, I wanted to start with multiple images and text. I want to animate some of the text. That all seemed very easy to do but I have one issue I have not been able to resolve. Since page is a mixture of multiple images and some animated text I need to be able to set the background for the page. I would kind of like for it to be a single color. I have not been able to figure out how to set the background color though. Later I plan on adding more pages with more images and eventually an animation that I have created with the Animator plugin in SketchUp. I have now watched several videos but have not found out how to set the background for my "presentation" though. If you, or others, have any suggestions, I would really like to hear from you. For others who have looked at this thread (or do look at it) I think CapCut looks like a really cool piece of software.

@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
