Hard to say from just a single image. What orientation was the model in on the bed? What material?

Hi It’s now doing the same thing on my new m2 Mac mini, have to save as , then able to carry on So frustrating

Grammar means everything, I think he means this.... "I use SU 2017, as a subscription doesn't make sense as I don't use the program regularly". The comma makes sense of it.

Its compatible with 2024 and 2025 You might expand on the troubles you mention as that is likely more important.

@Berserk said in [Plugin] MatSim (Material Simulation) - v1.5b - 09 Jul 25: The extension is very useful. But in the large model there is a limit on the number of materials supplied, and the color theme change takes a very long time (2 min.) on a modern computer (AMD 16 honest cores up to 5 GHz, 128GB RAM, RTX 2080 Super 12 GB). A model of a city with 80,000 inhabitants. Unfortunately, I can't share the model. I released MatSim v1.5b, with up to 150 materials by simulation, instead of 50 (which I already considered a lot). For performance, I am not sure MatSim can do better than what Sketchup would do natively by permuting materials. As for any automated process, just consider how long it would take you to do it manually...

@Dave-R Ah yeah. That works. Thank you.

The easiest fix for Ruby 2 and higher, is to use a refinement that only that file can "see" and use. I inserted the following at the top of the file (after deleting the Set reassignment): require 'set' # Create a refinement for the Set class: module DBUR module RefinedSet refine ::Set do alias :insert :add alias :contains? :include? end end end # Use the refinement: using DBUR::RefinedSet By request from @paddyclown, here is the "fixed" file. It still needs a drastic overhaul, but this will get it working (fingers crossed): DBUR_QuickSelection.rb @Didier-Bur ping (I do not know how to send this by PM in this new forum interface.)

Please reorganize your extension as a TRUE SketchUp extension. See: https://ruby.sketchup.com/file.extension_requirements.html Also, take note of the various numeric conversion methods that the SketchUp API has added to the Numeric class. (You do not need to write your own conversion formulae.) Here is an example that will default to model units, if the unit argument is blank: def convert_to_inches(value, unit = nil) units = Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"] if unit.nil? # use model units case units["LengthFormat"] when Length::Architectural, Length::Fractional return value.inch when Length::Engineering return value.feet else # Length::Decimal unit = units["LengthUnit"] end end case unit when :in, Length::Inches then value.inch when :m, Length::Meter then value.m when :cm, Length::Centimeter then value.cm when :mm, Length::Millimeter then value.mm when :ft, Length::Feet then value.feet when :yd, 5 # NOTE: constant Length::Yard (5) was added for SU2020, # use 5 to avoid NameError exception in older versions. value.yard # yards to inches else value.inch # if inches or unknown end end Also, this is a good read for dealing with units in SketchUp: https://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/08/dealing-with-units-in-sketchup/

FYI, I did report this to Trimble.

I don't believe there are any extensions to do that. You could use 3D text and drawn 3D dimension and extension lines to create the geometry. I find it's simper and faster to combine a couple of image exports; the render and a dimensions-only image direct from SketchUp. This is a quick 10 second render to show the idea. The render: [image: 1751736869218-vise-render-resized.png] The dimensions-only image export from SketchUp: [image: 1751736887769-creasman-moxon-vise-dimens-resized.png] And after combining them in an image editor: [image: 1751736926906-creasman-moxon-vise-render-resized.png] The layer for the dimensions is set to Multiply in the image editor.

Did you look at the video on it's ExtensionStore page? https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1103-extrudetools I still don't have time to do a video on the entire process but maybe this will help. I copied out the needed edges from the L I already made for this. Note that the straigh edges at the ends need to be divided into multiple segments and welded to make them curves. Two segments is enough, though. Going through the options I chose to no delete the original curves. Since the entire letter gets done in stages, you can't delete all of the edges after an extrusion because you'll need them for the neighboring steps. [image: 1751719413407-eebyr.gif]

@rv1974 "OK, but it would have been nice to do it with 'fredo scale'"

Fredo has solved this for me - I had a " : " in the sequence name, removed and it worked. Thanks!

thanks

Output Override is a Document Setup setting so yes, you can save that as part of your template like the rest of the Document Setup options.

What seems at face value a rather basic operation is actually a lot more complex potentially. Rather than trying to executing a mass extrusion process do a sample extrusion to see what kind of geometry is output. A planar n-gon with 6 entities will result in 22 entities when extruded. Imagine if those 740 groups have ~100 entities each then you are asking Sketchup to create ~300k entities. SketchUp then has to consider other things like its inbuilt tolerance, are there curves etc.... This is not a simple as a simple extrusion if the geometry you are extruding is not efficient.
