@tudorstanila You could change to a less strict network.

The error itself is telling you that there is something client side stopping the activation. It could one of many possible scenarios - firewall, anti-virus, network policy

Ok, thanks! Well, in the newest version, which I'm using, it measures, resizes and creates guidelines in both modes. The only difference that I can see is that it only creates guide points in the second mode.

@djh I saw in a different post of yours that one must reboot. Now, it works - I open with my custom toolbar and trays.

Welcome👍

Basically what others have said with the addition of watching some beginners tutorials on you tube of which there are many, of just have a go, when you get stuck ask a question if you get stuck. We have all been beginners so we get it👍

@Dave-R PLA it biodegradable and food-safe!

I was doing some reading about that. While PLA may be food safe, the dyes used to color it may not be. Several articles I read also indicate that the hot end nozzle may not be food grade and could impart toxins into your prints.

One article for example: https://www.wevolver.com/article/is-pla-food-safe

@Dave-Yeah, I forget since then. It's really the time I start again to use skp haha. I mostly forget everything. Btw, I found one on Google so I'm using it now. Things begins to come back 😉 Thank you

@Natural-Edge said in Looking to buy new laptop to run sketchup!:

has anyone got a good recommendation that might be in a similar price bracket.

XMG in the EU are solid devices and customisable

If you're in US it Eluktronics

@TIG Thank you.

Have you restarted SketchUp to sync everything ?

Have you installed the SketchUcation Tools needed for licensing ?

Assuming you are using Windows - have you installed Sketchup properly ?
Double-clicking the installer's exe file to 'Run' it is not enough, even if your user account has admin powers - doing so can cause unpredictable issues, often around permissions and file access.
It can be repaired without needing to re-install SketchUp - do the following...
It will leave any installed files etc unaffected...
Close SketchUp.
Find its installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder [down load a new copy if you no longer have it].
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator
When prompted choose Repair.
When it finishes restart SketchUp.

Any improvement ?

I've replied to you in a PM

I just tried it on v2024 and it works fine... although most of it is over a decade old !
It imports a text file with a camera-view on each line.

The camera-view entry must be as follows...
name,xeye,yeye,zeye,xtarget,ytarget,ztarget,rollangle,fovangle
there can be an optional value added after 'fovangle':
,image
But you probably aren't wanting to use that.

The values in the entry must be separated with the constants that are set in the RB file:
Edit the ICVSEP and ICDSEP constants to suit your typical file's locale value-separator [' ',;:\t] and decimal.separator [. or ,]...
In the example I show it's as a comma , separator and a .
You might use a space or ; and a , to suit locale.
Please check you are setting up you file correctly.

As I said it works fine given the correct input.
To attach an RB file just drop it into the message
TIGimportcamera.rb

There are donation buttons against many authors entries in the PluginStore and ExtensionStore³

@NIX1995
Do you mean it works now?

@djh
Only tool I know of is 3DBrowser which has implicit support for skp files.

I've tried it a few years ago and while useful I found it not too approachable.

I recommend trialling before buying.

I think MakeHuman don't gives a standard shape for muscles. We have to create our own muscles I guess on MakeHuman. Btw, I'll try both. Thank you !

No on my Windows 11 laptop the 2 entries are present.

If an application is not visible in the list of applications, it could be for several reasons, what I would do first is check in the registry if the entry in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall ", once you do a search on "SketchUp 2023"
which for my part with the latest version gives the following result "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{6af6b504-1cb0-504c-f20f-061179014e6d}"
If you find that without any approach, look at the line named UninstallString and take the value MsiExec.exe /I{6af6b504-1cb0-504c-f20f-061179014e6d}. in my case.
Executing this command starts the sketchup setup.

If you don't find anything, I would reinstall sketchup 2023, simpler than manual cleaning.

There is another one for troubleshooting at Microsoft https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/E/9/7E9188C0-2511-4B01-8B4E-0A641EC2F600/MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab
But it is a tool that requires a certain amount of experience, so be careful, it is necessary to take some precaution, such as a backup system at least, see an image of the disk.

@tuna1957 said in anamorfosi:

@luisto Did a bit of searching. Found some older posts asking about this. It led to the suggestion of a couple of plugins. TIG’s “Projection to Ground and Didier Bur’s “Projections”. Check into them.

Mille grazie.😊👍👋👋

@pace514 I installed the font and tried it. It shows up as Lato Hairline and it does work for me as 3D text. It's very thin. How tall is your text supposed to be?

@RICHARD-STIERS Re: time cleaning up the interior, suggest you try 'Solid Inspector' by ThomThom. Works like a charm.

I see you are using Eneroth's Laser Tools. Why not add Eneroth's SVG Exporter to get them into Lightburn.

🤣 ouch me! - you meant the original page, of course.
I had already updated the link to your new page and the obvious disappeared from my perception
