Just to clarify (I hope) here is a video of the way I would like to present my model, but this one does not include the Animator animations I would like to include (as presented in my other post).Jesus Plaque Mixed.mp4 This video was created by just showing the 3 scenes in the model and using SketchUp's animation creating tool. I hope this example contributes to the discussion about where I would like to see Animator go (only with the Animator features included). BTW: I do not know why it goes back to the starting scene at the end. That is not what I would want though.

Very interesting. I think a lot of this has to do with the type of building which varies a lot from one part of the world to another. Some parts of the world have very much conservative styles compared to other parts of the world thus, the type/style of the roofing can vary very much. Always good to have an “open” mind though.

Happens to me all the time...I just thought it was a standard thing like when you draw a line to cut geometry and it creates a new white face over your existing material face.

If you have view (in style) set to "Hidden Line Mode" or "Shaded using all the same" so you can show just black & white in LayOut...it doesn't show the section images

Version 1.1.4 - 02.09.2026 Fixed a bug with staggered joists.

Version 1.2.6 - 02.09.2026 Added a line type option for major grid lines of the grid tool. Added the major grid line option to the General tab of the Global Settings. [image: 1770686764115-project_su42_800.jpg] [image: 1770686764138-project_su43_800-resized.jpg] With the latest versions of SketchUp there is a bug with the stipple pattern for construction lines and as a result it is nearly impossible to differentiate major grid lines from minor grid lines. Since this bug has never been resolved (at least to my knowledge) by the SketchUp team, I have determined that simple work around would be to replace the construction lines in the grid (major grid lines only) with regular lines or edges. Now one can actually tell them apart. This option can be toggled in the General tab of the Global Settings. Personally I prefer the dashed construction lines for the major grid lines but in newer versions of SketchUp solid lines are probably the better option.

Excellent. And thank you for the help. After working with Twilight for so long, I am slowly working my way through Rayscraper.

Stay well out there, Majid. Thoughts with you and your family as well as your compatriots.

Version 4.3.3 - 02.08.2026 Added the following Simpson Strong-Tie anchor bolts to the wall, column and shearwall modules: SABR58-24, SABR34-26, SABR78-28, SABR1-30, SABR114-32. [image: 1770589608405-wall_su1079_800-resized.jpg] [image: 1770589608451-wall_su1080_800.jpg] These new anchor bolts are included in the new Wood Construction Connectors Catalog (C-C-2026) for 2026. https://www.strongtie.com/bolts_anchorbolts/sabr_bolt/p/sabr These low poly versions of the anchor bolts are based on the models provided on Simpsons website.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

I purchased the subscription and it works now. thank you

I'm sure @fredo6 will have more to say... but the report your posted shows that although you have the latest versions of the 4 extensions installed, you don't have the SketchUcation toolset installed - for the ExtensionStore and the required SCFLicensing files. Without those all licensed extensions will not work. Download the RBZ for the SketchUcation tools and use the Extension Manager dialog's Install... button. Restart SketchUp to sync everything. Now you will have the licensing set up. You need to validate appropriate licenses for the 4 fredo extensions. If you already have those use them, or get them from the appropriate page on this forum. If you haven't already got a license then buy it. Restart SketchUp after all of this to sync everything...

@fredo6 Thank you for your support us Fredo
