A new signed Version 8.0 of the toolset is available as an RBZ in the PluginStore https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=2Dtools or for AutoInstall/Update through the ExtensionStore dialog. It addresses the TAB keycode weirdness recently reported when trying to open a dialog for certain tools, like LineStyle and Hatching etc. The TAB press/up was itself introduced for >=v2020 when the right-click in empty-space context-menu option was removed from the Ruby API. It had to be a TAB press/up because MAC has always ignore a simple TAB press. Recently it's been found that in v2026 on a MAC a TAB press/up sometimes fails to work at all, and other times on PCs x4 press/up were needed to get TAB to call the dialog - whilst weirdly some users experienced no issues with it at all, on either OS ! I have now error trapped the keycode capture for TAB as best I can, note that on <=v2025 there's no problems with TABx1 press/up [sadly my own PC still needs TABx4 press/up with v2026], and TABx1 may work with v2026 for some users and OSs, BUT as a fallback I've now introduce an alternative additional key press/up - Shift - which [I hope] works with one press/up on any OS and SketchUp version. So if you have any v2026 TAB annoyance you can now just press/up the Shift key instead to open the dialogs. Please try it and report any issues. I've updated the More-Info>Release-Notes and the toolset's Help HTML files to reflect these changes.

Looks like a case of poor engineering to me

@Rich-O-Brien a friend of mine (working at the tramwaycompany) is doing the prints for me.

@Rich-O-Brien Yes, all the furniture is custom-made. Here are some examples of small bathrooms and utility rooms: https://www.doerr-ma.de/index.php?id1=22&id2=43

Does anyone know of a way to modify/control the transition from one clip to another. I have several clips but you just get a quick change from a clip to the next one. I would like to see some capability like fade out the current/ending clip and then starting the next clip.

Ah I've found the culprit. I forgot I had installed an update for D5 Livesync 1.7.0.0001 There seems to be a problem with this one. I rolled back to D5 1.6 and LOTT is back.

@ramiduscz Hi, Which texture replacer are you using ? ThomThom's 'material replacer' (works like a charm, although you need to replace materials one by one. It respects UV's if tou hit the Ctrl key.

Ah oui c'était pas du pipo! Excellent! https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/RC-027513/twin-peaks/

@L-i-am said in Having a bad day?: Hi Guys have not been very active of late as I am temporally on a med that completely stifles creativity, hence no sketchup. However this appeared on facebook. It made me smile from ear to ear. Careful though it can be I know how you feel. I had some surgery a few months ago and am trying to get back too SketchUp. As @rich-o-brien and a couple of others can tell you, I have been having some problems getting back into it. Trying to use some features that I either have not used before (or at least for a long time) and have asked some pretty silly/dumb questions. However, I am determined to learn/get back with it. Hope all is well with you and you can get back with it. I know you have posted some great work in the past and you will get there again.

My old https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_LayersFromList and https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_LayersToList Let you import / export layers from / to a text file in the form NAME:R,G,B per line. So you could edit [or make] the file with customized RGB values and names as desired...

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks, I solved the problem with the script.

Ils ont des bonnes têtes les hommes de mains! :° C'est fait avec quoi les bijoux ?

Does your set up meet the requirements listed here ? https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/system-requirements The fact that it runs OK on a similar machine suggests that something is 'missing' in the set up with the problems - hardware or software ?

Is it possible to start a new thread or category for asking "how to" questions for Animator. I think I have recently learned a lot of very useful information, but I still have a number of questions that I have not been able to find answers to. Yes, I can do a lot of testing but there are topics where other users might be able to provide good feedback/advice for.

it is fierce mate. Thanks . lets hope for positive changes.. and a lasting peace in world.
