@Rich-O-Brien said in Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas: Have a great holiday. Hopefully Santa brings you a F1 key I think that was/is on my list.

so, on the white "paper" space you would have a list (slots) for entering text "kitchen light", "kitchen outlet", "garage door", "clothes washer", "clothes dryer" etc and add some parameters like voltage, amperage, single, dual, etc? "clothes dryer", 240V, 30A, SINGLE -> voltage logic would span a 240V across both busses? "air conditioner", 240V, 50A, DUAL -> would have two 240V splitting 25A across each for the air handler and compressor? "kitchen lights", 120V, 20A, DUAL -> split two 10A circuits on single breaker (dual switches) for overhead and under counter lights to save breaker slots etc

Amazing!

@HornOxx Wonderful, made me smile today. Meryy Christmas folks, one and all. I hope you get all you need and 2026 proves to be the year to improves the lot of everyone single animal on the planet. I know but we CAN live with hope.

You seemingly haven't installed it from its RBZ. If you simply copy the ../Plugins/HouseBuilder_extension.RB file over to the newer SketchUp version it misses the images to make the toolbar-buttons [and worse!]... Unfortunately the original author was in the dim past [20years ago] and made a half-baked extension loader file, and he didn't give his subfolder the same name as the RB file. The new[ish] auto-migration tool assumes this file/folder naming convention and so it misses out copying the subfolder of images [and some other vital support files that are in that folder]. To fix it you need to find the whole HouseBuilder folder [and its contents intact] in your older version's Plugins folder and copy that whole folder over into the newer SketchUp version's Plugins folder. When you startup SketchUp it should now find the subfolder and load the buttons' images and the other vital support files...

That's called Camera Clipping. It occurs when parts of a 3D scene that fall outside the camera's visible region, known as the viewing frustum.

Version 4.2.0 - 12.22.2025 Updated the opening and closing algorithm for all (panel) garage doors. [image: 1766392868909-garagedoor_opening3.gif] Not a customer request, just an interesting kinematic challenge that I felt like addressing at some point. I found the previous garage door opening animation largely unsatisfactory for panel doors like these. Hopefully you can indulge me with a little gold plating... now back to the real stuff.

Thanks TIG, I am honored that my hero is commenting on the path I am going. Okay I will add more guidance on each section. Also will try to make it "dynamic" before finalizing. Color coding is meant to show the pressure forces on each part of the mesh. It meant to generate the best "compressure-only" structure out of the given input. will update it soon.

Also, (only because I'm eagerly anticipating the plumbing release) have you considered crowdsourcing the modeling on these? Create a list on design.medeek.com that can be checked off when you receive a model that matches your requirements?
