@L-i-am said in Old model updated - Space fighter: HeY Bryan. I took the liberty of using AI to draw your design in the style of Syd Mead hope you don't mind . I am sitting on the fence about AI generally but your deign scrubbed up well [image: 1756291129798-mead-3.png] It does indeed scrub up nicely.

hi Didier Bur, May I request an update for this extension for SketchUp 2023 and higher? it work well with my SKP 2022 but file crashes when I use it in skp 2023 Many thanks!

Excellent work! Great modeling and renders!

Wow! Amazing as always.

This is something like the end result I am looking for. [image: 1756254625797-10-1000s-2067-x-1192-5618917-tri-25s-gpu-resized.png]

The earlier posts in this thread explain how to make a temporary fix by editing the RB file. В предыдущих сообщениях в этой теме объясняется, как сделать временное исправление путем редактирования файла RB.

Bloody good mate.

@Einstein It's home made. I wrote it long time ago, but I remember that for the interpolation, I did not find anything suitable and usable for my level of math in the literature. For the upsampling of the triangulation, I remember that I tried the Steiner refinement approach, but it did not work well for what I wanted to do. So, I built my own method. I was not familiar with the butterfly subdivision algorithm and still am not. Maybe it is a more conventional approach.

I reported about this problem but the developer has hard time to respond

I'm late to the party on this one, but I've been detailing in SU since version 2 (20 years ago!) and layout since it's first iteration (which was tedious). I've found that I tend to go down a dual route, depending on what level of competence I have in the contractor and/or the complexity of the build. I Scrapbook most of my standard details which are small SU files in the same folder as the Sketchbooks. This makes a lot of them nicely lightweight in LayOut too, and if there's a change in legislation I change the Scrapbook file accordingly. [image: 1755862424270-screenshot-2025-08-22-123201.png]

@quenemary You have no license directory which suggests your SketchUp install is missing read/write permissions. You can fix this by running the SketchUp installer using Run as Administrator and choosing Repair when prompted.

@Didier-Bur said in Request Section Management Panel: @alexpacio2013 OK I got it. Currently I'm working on an update of my 'Scenes Tools' plugin and it will do almost what you're after. If time permits, I'll develop a script to choose a scene and to activate (or not) a section plane for that scene and update the scene. Regards, In practice, you need a panel where, once the scene has been sectioned, you can activate or deactivate the sections or vice versa, match the section to a scene Let me know when you're ready. I don't understand why no one thought of this, it's a very important thing. Great.

Version 4.1.3 - 08.21.2025 Added a "Label Scaling" parameter for all wall types. [image: 1755792652832-wall_su1011_800.jpg] [image: 1755792652847-wall_su1012_800.jpg] Update per customer request.

@pavulon5 Might be a permissions issue. Repair your SketchUp install by downloading the SketchUp installer. Right-click the .exe and choose Run as Admin and choose Repair when prompted If your device is named using non-alphanumeric characters, áéíóú etc, please change it to only use alphanumeric. Other option is to go to C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses and delete your signature file. Restart SketchUp to generate a new one and try license. The error is related to the signature file.

I hope there's going to be an updated version soon, I miss this plugin

The Gemini AI says: The term "gobbledygook" was coined in 1944 by Maury Maverick, a congressman from Texas. During World War II, Maverick was the chairman of the Smaller War Plants Corporation. Frustrated with the excessively long, vague, and pompous language of bureaucratic memos, he issued a memorandum to his staff telling them to "stay off gobbledygook language." He defined it as "talk or writing which is long, pompous, vague, involved, usually with Latinized words." Maverick explained that he came up with the word by thinking of the sound a turkey makes—a "gobbledygobbling" sound. He felt that the pretentious and convoluted language of officialdom sounded just as ridiculous as a turkey's gobble.

@i5963c I would say it is a bug, although it is likely been this way forever. Check the SketchUp API tracker at GitHub to see if it has been reported yet. The GUI 3D Text tool puts the resultant text geometry within a component context. This way it can be moved around, rotated, etc. The API use of Entities.add_3d_text should also be inserting into a component or group context. This context can also have subgroups. So the workaround is to apply a transitional transform to the "g" subgroup and align it. Unfortunately, the vertical text alignment constants are for drawing text to the view for tools and overlays. So they will not apply to 3D text.
