update, I can right click on any of the grips that will bring up the tab dialog box, but the tab button shortcut does not work.

yes! thanks Pixelcruncher, thanks for this so fastresolution, it works well

Another positive move in the digital world, might give a certain company food for thought. I hope to have my pc reinstalled with this at some stage.

He is right though, something beyond "That which is seen".

In addition, lord of toolbar cannot be used normally in version 2026, and it will disappear after adding a custom toolbar and restarting.

Sorry, wanting to see how closely, or not, the photoreal mat setting in Sketchup can approximate to a render. Not too badly for folk who do not want the added complexity of a render program. Approximating a studio might prove useful. Curiosity alone.

looking forward to it

@hellnbak - could you contact me please? I do not seem to have a way to directly contact you. Thank you!

@dkuucharzak said in Username change: @Rich-O-Brien, I misspelled my intended username. Could you help me change it? I can if the one you need is available. Send a mail to support@sketchucation.com and we sort it out

@beemer535is said in Wondering if anyone could help out with this Light in Sketchup??: All good mate, thanks so much for the offer, I have just used a simple dome without the kicked out edge section using follow me as you suggested. Thanks again for your help! Cheers, Nick Are you Australian by any chance?

Hello, found an easy solution, ignore everything ayone else said. When you are selecting a different material make sure your default tray on the right under Materials has "select" selected instead of Edit, doing this prevents editing of the texture's shade and wont make it a shade darker every time you eye drop it. This 100% works.

If you open the Ruby Console while invoking the tool it might provide clues. Also, sharing if you are Windows/Mac. I presume you are using recent updated versions of both Libfredo and FredoScale? I can invoke the TAB panel without issue on SU2026 with no errors in Ruby Console.

@RASKL Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.

I still have completely finished the PDF reports since I've had my head so buried in the Timoshenko stuff for a couple of weeks (probably not a good use of my time but I couldn't resist).  Here is some output for a couple of cases (two span and three span beam, equal spans with a UDL).  What is interesting is the shape of the deflection graphs for the Timoshenko analysis.  I think the numbers are correct but to be honest I really don't have another 3rd party program I can fully test against. I'm using a kappa of 5/6 and a G of 1/16 the E value, so in this case G = 106,250 Also I am just using the listed value of E for my Timoshenko calculations even though it already includes a 3% bump for shear built in. EB = Euler Bernoulli, TIMO = Timoshenko http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/EB_TEST8_2SPAN_UDL.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/EB_TEST8_3SPAN_UDL.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_2SPAN_UDL.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_3SPAN_UDL.pdf As a sanity check I multiplied my calculated value of G above by 10,000 in the code and then ran the TIMO analysis, the results are almost identical to the EB analysis as expected, so that tells me that with an extreme stiffness the TIMO degrades to an EB analysis as it should in theory.  Here are the links to the TIMO analsys with a 10,000X inflated G: http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_2SPAN_UDL_GMAX.pdf http://medeek.com/resources/engplugin/TEST8/TIMO_TEST8_3SPAN_UDL_GMAX.pdf
