You've already learnt that you don't need to project the shadows of every element forming the building, or every plane that might catch a shadow. Before you use the tool make a new tag to ultimately be an isolated set of geometry with the rest of the model 'off' - probably making two to reflect the original and modified forms. then make a group that is assigned the appropriate tag. Edit it and add simple faced 'box' shapes that follow the main external form of the building [used as a temporary underlay]. Only add in any wall, floor or roof faces etc, that will cast useful shadows. You can probably ignore window-openings for a study this simple. Do not include any 'rear' facing elements that won't cast meaningful shadows. Do not include any wholly internal faces as they won't cast any useful shadows. It should be relatively straightforward for you to work out which parts are needed - but the algorithm will look at everything. Every superfluous bit of geometry which might not cast any meaningful shadows should be avoided - because each one will still be pointlessly considered and processed before finally being ignored - all of this only bloats the processing time exponentially and can lead to crashes as SketchUp becomes overwhelmed. Perhaps an uploaded screen shot of the form, or even a simple skp showing what you've done so far, could elicit more useful advice...

Following on from @fredo6 's comment... If each user logs in separately then surely a simple cmd script [written by your IT guys] auto-running at their login, could copy the needed license files over into their '../appdata/local/scf licenses' directory. Having this consistent location set up for everyone's folders/files should ease the license reading / validation ? Perhaps a logout cmd script could also run to tidy up and remove the no longer needed files, if thought appropriate ? ...

Looks good. What about customers that don't use gmail? How are those meant to test?

Hello Fredo6, Thank you for your response, and sorry for the confusion. By logging in, I mean logging in to the school computer. When students log in to our school computers, a new user profile is created in Windows with their own student number. When I activate the plug-ins under the admin account, the plug-ins work normally and are activated. However, when a student logs in to Windows, the plug-ins are not activated under their individual user account. We would like to avoid students having to activate the plug-ins themselves every time they use a school computer (if they even have the permissions to do so within our network). For us, the ideal solution would be that the plug-ins are automatically available for every student who logs in, without needing to activate them for each individual user. I’m not sure if or how this would be possible. Ramon

I narrowed it out to Turbo Mode being enabled in my BIOS. Apparently anything over the rating on my CPU will crash D5. It's the only program that's causing this. This actually happened about 3 years ago. I had to figure this all out myself. D5 should be designed to run without making these kinds of adjustments. Like all software.

If I can not find any solution, is there any way to make custom toolbars ? Aerilius: Toolbar Editor does not work and also the nativ one

Yoni said Sketchup rolled back this update. Over at the Sketchup Forum.

Did you open the Ruby Console while performing steps? Error msgs ?

Hello everyone, Here is an image showing the rebar schedule present in the model. The table is fully dynamic: when I click on a row, the corresponding rebar is automatically highlighted in the model [image: 1773055139464-sketchucation_09.03.2026.png]

Hi Fredo, I use Curic Section nowadays, but I've been following FredoSection with interest and will try it fully when I have the time. Still I have a feature request: Could you consider the idea of multilayered offsets from Section. Imagine following scenario: Group has Masonry material applied. Face inside Group has Plaster material applied. FredoSection would create a Section fill with Masonry hatch and an inset of 2cm from the edge that matches the Plaster material, where a Plaster hatch would be applied. If the masonry wall would have several faces painted with plaster, then all these faces would create a plaster offset hatch when sectioned. If you want to make this outstanding, then that plaster offset could be a multiple offset representing several layers: Masonry Group - Section Fill is Masonry Ventilated Façade on external Face - Aluminium 1cm + Air gap 2cm + Insulation 6cm + Waterproofing 0.25cm + Mortar 2cm. Plaster material on internal Face - Plaster 2cm The Object is still painted as Masonry But section would be: Interior Space | Plaster 2cm | Masonry Xcm | Aluminium 1cm + Air gap 2cm + Insulation 6cm + Waterproofing 0.25cm + Mortar 2cm | Exterior Space Xcm would be the leftover value after subtracting these multiple layers offsets.

Version 2.1.2 - 03.07.2026 Added Weight Callouts as an option for polyline stemwall assemblies. Added Weight Callouts as an option for stemwall step assemblies. [image: 1772931102941-foundation_su143_800.jpg] [image: 1772931102968-foundation_su144_800.jpg] For this detailed breakdown you need to have the "separate callouts" and "weight callouts" both enabled.
