All my programs are on my C:drive. Created / saved files go to a folder on a larger D:drive. Old habit I guess.

@L-i-am Just checked HDRI, not present so I must have removed it or forgot to use it. Typical....

@L-i-am Yes mate. They look pretty sharp and good test pieces.

@fredo6 said in Bug report/change suggestion - ESC key forces Sketchup to perform UNDO: Fixed in ThruPaint v2.8b, just published. Thanks, have not tested is yet but your prompt response is awesome!

@L-i-am nice images. I would like to see the first horizontal seams on either side at the same height.

@Dave-R said in Component confusion: @danna Look at the orientation of the axes in my screenshot. Give the component gluing in the Create Component panel. I had tried glue vertical before, but was having trouble setting correct axis. Thanks ... working now.

@jamesn320 said in Converting Lines to a shape: I need it to stay flat. Try Eneroth Upright Extruder from the Extension Warehouse.

Thanks Rich, Box, I would not know how to use ruby script I gor around it easily by getting one face correct by scaling in SU, I when copied the good face and then rotating it 90 deg and replacing that "Wrong" face with the one I copped then every thing worked as it should

@Tru-la-la Lol....I wish I had that hair and the bike! My Opel Combo is not as cool The sparkle material is nice!

@Aartrace1 you have overridden the Camera property for the viewport which tells LayOut you aren't interested in the Camera property from the scene in the SketchUp Model. Note the Reset buttons and the dark gray background in the Camera section of the SketchUp Model panel. [image: 1734539328737-screenshot-12_18_2024-10_26_41-am.png] When you copy a viewport that has had scene proprties overridden the overrides get copied, too. Best practice is to avoid overriding the Camera properties in LayOut. There should be no reason to double click into a viewport to pan the camera and no need to manually select a Standard view or manually tick the Ortho box.

@i5963c I am having the same issue, the work around I'm using at the moment is actually using physical color pallets in my scene and eye dropping them to paint onto my models. @fredo6 If you see this and are working to fix please let us Know.

@danna Dale, from link that Dave gave above ... helped me to get my old version of Profile Builder installed. Still seeking documentation or help files if anyone still has them. Thanks Dave.

@fredo6 Fredo please implement selecting (by crossing window) and changing radius to multiple points simultaneously when editing polycorner arc curves. Currently selecting\editing vertices on-by-one is extremely limiting. Also please make plane lock sticky.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich.

@TIG Con l'ultima versione di Lord of thr Toolbar è stato risolto il problema di compatibilità con vay 7 ma adesso mi trovo un'altro problema, spesso quando apro sketchup, va in crash. Il crash avviene proprio quando va ad aprire le barre dei menu creati con Lord of the Toolbar . Ho scoperto che disabilitando Lord of the Toolbar, Sketchup si apre perfettamente. non capisco q Se è un problema di incompatibilità con altri plugin o da altro. Per aprire sketchup devo disabilitare Lord of the toolbar E riabilitarlo quando sketchup è aperto, attraverso il plugin manager Sketchauction. Sicuramente è una incompatibilità con un altro plugin. come posso sapere quale è il plugin che va in conflitto. è possibile risalire all'ultimo plugin eseguito prima del Crash analizzando i file di log. With the latest version of Lord of thr Toolbar the compatibility problem with vay 7 has been solved but now I find myself with another problem, often when I open sketchup, it crashes. The crash occurs right when it goes to open the menu bars created with Lord of the Toolbar. I discovered that by disabling Lord of the Toolbar, Sketchup opens perfectly. I don't understand if it is a problem of incompatibility with other plugins or something else. To open sketchup I have to disable Lord of the toolbar and re-enable it when sketchup is open, through the plugin manager Sketchauction. It is certainly an incompatibility with another plugin. How can I know which plugin is in conflict. Is it possible to trace the last plugin executed before the crash by analyzing the log files.

Ta folks, it is the ai thing. My design, mea culpa. Similar in concept to the hotrod I did some yonks ago but oriented towards track days. Working on a studio setup for Rayscaper so hopefully some renders then.

@Gus-R thanks for that. I have been looking for some new sources for stuff to model. I've done a few railroad related models before but it could be time to do more.

@quillpro said in FFmpeg: Instructions for download and Install: It does not appear in the Control Panel nor does it ask for permission. I was able to fix the issue by using the macOS terminal to make FFmpeg executable. shell ~ % ls -lU /Applications/ffmpeg -rw-rw-r--@ 1 username staff 78461292 Aug 31 2020 /Applications/ffmpeg shell ~ % chmod u=rwx /Applications/ffmpeg shell ~ % ls -lU /Applications/ffmpeg -rwxrw-r--@ 1 username staff 78461292 Aug 31 2020 /Applications/ffmpeg The Generation of Video interface is still buggy but it does now generate the video files. Hi all, New user but have been enjoying the helpful information found here! I too have been having a couple struggles getting the great ANIMATOR app from Fredo6 to generate a video file on my MacBook Pro. I did see that in the automatically generated folder "Animator Videos" a sting of individual images but also a .txt file that stated "permission denied". I thought it sounded like I should try the solution from quillpro to let the Mac OS open and run the file. I think quillpro is most likely better at command line instructions than me - but I couldn't get his Command Lines to work for me. What I found online and did the trick for me was the following: To change permissions in Terminal, do the following: Type this command followed by a space: chmod 755. Drag the file "ffmpeg" into the Terminal window. Press Return. Permissions for the file or folder will be changed to read, write, and execute. When I did this, the icon for ffmpeg changed from a white piece of paper with the top right corner folded over to a black colored icon with the words "exec" in green written on it. I haven't tried all the different available formats but it made a .mov file that played in QuickTime with no problems. Hopefully this helps someone!

@L-i-am Supercalafrajalistic etc.
