    Hi Pixero, That tool appears to, as it says, draw a line from the camera to the "target", the center of the camera field. My tool, when active, draws a line from the camera through the selected point in the frame. So from a single camera position, you can draw the rays that outline an object. Would it be straightforward to modify your tool to do that? Thanks, August

    Are you still using SU2014 as your profile indicates? It might be that there's an extension that could model a roof such as you are after but it isn't difficult to do it with native tools. You can establish the slopes using the Protractor tool to place guidelines. Instead of typing the angle, type 12:12 and 5:12. I did that here. [image: i2ER_Screenshot-4_10_20217_40_11AM.png] [image: HIVT_Screenshot-4_10_20217_49_05AM.png] FWIW I just used an existing model of a shed that I built. Didn't bother to change the height of a wall as you'd typically have with a saltbox roof.

    You might find Tig's Extrusion tools more appropriate.

    Maybe this will help someone else...seems the context menu does not show up if you have groups within groups. I extracted the inner groups (Table Top & Table Cloth) so they appear at the top level of the outliner heirarchy as follows. Here is a concrete example that didnt work MyModel TableGroup -> Table Top -> Table Cloth I exploded the TableGroup and the menu appears MyModel -> Table Top -> Table Cloth

    Go to View>Tool Palettes and select the Sections tool palette. Or Go to View>Customize and drag those tools up to the top toolbar area.

    @deklund said: Confusing that it was necessary to point to the components folder If you are using the default location for the components and add your components subfolders to it, those folders should show up automatically when you next start SketchUp.

    Wow, thank you pbacot and Box... I've been using Sketchup for around 10 years, and professionally for 5+ and I never noticed this! Very often use angled axes inside Groups and Components, so this will be a game changer for me!

    Your shape has no thickness. It's just a surface. Faces in SketchUp have no thickness. In order to be considered a solid it needs to have a volume. The Surface Border message is referring to the perimeter of the surface. [image: DGzU_Screenshot-3_26_20215_53_38AM.png] If you want to use Slicer or the Solid Tools, it first needs to have thickness. I used Vector Push/Pull here.

    @builder54 said: Possibly a rivet joining to 2 clamps together. Thanks for your input but my problem is really how to model a path that binds one tube to another at right angles when extruded as a tape or wire. Actually, I am thinking of trying plastic coated electrical wire as a durable and readily available material. It needs to have a waist to really tighten the binding; the salt-laden tropical winds can be really vicious.

    Awesome! Thanks to both of you! The manual version is immediately helpful as a short term solution, but I really appreciate the discussion of the ruby. That might be incredibly helpful in the future. Take care

    You can read the names of the extensions in the paths after SketchUp/Plugins. This is why you were advised to install the extensions fresh from their sources. If you'd done that there'd be no chasing these loading errors.

    @djh said: Yes, I was holding the mouse button and the cursor key. Have to change that habit when trying to constrain. Yeah. Don't hold either one. Most actions with the left mouse button in SketchUp are click and release, not click and hold. There are a few exceptions but for the most part you don't hold the mouse button. As for the cursor keys, they are a press and release. If you use Shift to constrain a move or drawing direction, you'll need to hold Shift.

    The messages could make things clearer. Yes, there is an update available. The PluginStore or Fredo's own check will tell you so. And yes, you can download and install the extension update. But until you purchase and install a license (done via an item on the Fredo Corner menu), the updated extension will not run. It seems that the days of incredibly powerful but free extensions are starting to fade away.

See the first post in Fredo6's thread here: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=70149 I told you this yesterday in your other thread. Thank you!
