get Artisan (start with 30 days trial) - it has all you need

Also for the never saved files on Windows you can find them in: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\SketchUp\SketchUp 2021\SketchUp\working\SKETCHUP\RecoveredFiles

EUREKA! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! But not rid of me - sorry. Pretty sure something else will crop up, but for now... and the deadline for this project (just the first component) is for a two o'clock meeting tomorrow. I think I'll be SAFE!

Not at the moment. Sorry.

Hi everyone, The problem got solved magically. My friend has managed to open the file somehow. I do not know what has worked. Thank you! Lena

@djh said: Can one export them as PDFs? No but you could do that with LayOut.

If the groups are solids you might not need to union them in the first place. Often, as long at the groups are solids and touching the printer will treat them as a single object. Export an stl file and see what the slicer thinks of it. If you do have to combine them, I would be inclined to just explode the groups instead of using the Union tool. Make the groups so once you have them all exploded you can make a single solid group. As for the holes, you're running into the tiny faces issue. Avoid that by working at a larger scale. When I'm modeling for 3D printing I set the Units to meters and do my modeling entering the dimensions as if inches or millimeters are meters. Then I export the .stl in meters and upload to the slicer in millimeters or inches as appropriate. Here's an example.

That's too bad because that one works very well on my end.

Some of Fredo's extensions have become 'paid'. The perpetual licenses are not costly. Clicking on one of the buttons on the dialog you showed will take you to a page with more info, and where you can buy licenses using PayPal...

Dave R., thank you.

Not with a style but you can apply a transparent material to the one object. You could also use FredoGhost to do this. [image: u7rG_Screenshot-6_27_20228_05_52AM.png]

Sans le fichier SKP (format 2017) correspondant il est quelque peu difficile de répondre de façon élaborée!

If you uncheck edges and profiles in the styles dialog box and uncheck the cast shadows in the entity info dialog box after you select the "man" these are the results. Not sure if this is what you are after. [image: drCm_Screenshot2022-06-08143450.png]

Might be good to read these threads. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=20485 https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=74668

You're quite welcome. I've had Joint Push/Pull since it's initial release years ago. It was only recently that Fredo6 decided it was time to start charging for a set of his extensions. Those extensions are all amazing additions to SketchUp and I think well worth the tiny investment. He has worked very hard at keeping the extensions up to date and improving them so I think it's fair that he get compensated. I'm sure you agree. Before you do anything else with his extensions make sure you have the Sketchucation Extension Store tool up to date. After installing the latest version, quit and restart SketchUp to make sure the tool loads completely. Then use it to install the current versions of Fredo6's extensions.

To make those edges cut the face, you can see they go from dark profile lines to light edge lines.

@sonder said: I've used the Wacom Intuous 3 for years. Absolutely love it. I just bought the new Intuous 5 touch and love it even more. They work really well with SU. I agree with you, Wacom graphics tablets are simply superb. I myself am a user of one and am very pleased. And when drawing illustrations, I use the service https://create.vista.com/colors/palettes/easter-color-palette/ to find the right color palettes, there are a huge number of them and are often useful. Enjoy.
