@Dave-R Interesting because I used it last year (2024) without any problems. I can get the idea of payment but for me, using sketchup as a hobby, so no income out of model making, it is expensive.

Plugin: ene_camMemory by Julia Christina (eneroth3) Eneroth "Saves the camera position in just 2 clicks so it can be retrieved later. Works between models. Perfect for version comparison for instance." "Put To Memory"/"Retrieve From Memory"

@TIG said in Component Axis: If you set the component's axes to match its face then it's no longer rotated at 45° when it's saved out of the model. Just leave its axes as the default [45° off the face], and then it'll import into another model rotated as you hope, because then the component's geometry is not exported as axial. Thanks very much for explaining my error.

@Dave-R said in Cut through roof: Explode the vertical face, use Edit>Cut to cut it to the clipboard, open the roof group for editing, hit Edit>Paste in place. Then select all, use Intersect Faces>With Selection and erase the unwanted stuff. Thank you !

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

@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.

@Yarun It's a Firewall setting in your computer's security settings [or Network security settings, or your AntiVirus tool settings] *sketchucation.com* should be set in the whitelisting...

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

@Alohaa said in How to construct a funnel: @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.

@Tula-Woodworking 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 ?

@mbarker 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. https://youtu.be/LiKCZul4ucA I've tried it a few years ago and while useful I found it not too approachable. I recommend trialling before buying.

@gullfo 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 !
