Do you mean "Gizmo" as in 3ds Max? If so I do not think so

Is there a more updated plugin with similar functions?

@joshuabelgica said: Hello!! i am from the Philippines , i would just like to ask if i can add my animation from FREDO6 Animator to any of my Scenes in Sketchup? Thank you!!!! Could you be more precise on what you mean by "add Animator animation to any of my scenes".

Mac is outside my jurisdiction I'm afraid.

Sorry, but are two different questions

@fredo6 said: I will publish an updated version soon, and anyway before 31 May. LOTT will remain free. It is more an experimental plugin to investigate some means to handle a large number of plugins and manage history of commands. As an alternative, you have Pie Menu by Rich O Brien, which is another approach to configure command icons. Into the palette of Lord of the Toolbars, the Pie Tools doesn't work. I use a Mac

I would use Curviloft by Fredo6. [image: bJQ2_Screenshot-3_28_202212_01_42PM.png] By the way, when you are drawing circles, get in the habit of dragging their radii out on axis. Yours seem to be dragged out in random directions when makes your work later more difficult. [image: FhoP_Screenshot-3_28_202212_02_34PM.png]

Presumably you are describing furniture with curved surfaces. If you are going to use the projected texture method you need to create some visible edges to limit where the texture will get applied. Here's a quick example with visible edges about halfway up the radius corners. [image: DAc0_Screenshot-3_26_20228_35_08PM.png] After you've applied the textures you can hide those edges.

Fredo moved some of his extensions to paid tools starting this month.

@rich o brien said: Clean and efficient forms typically need good topography. Whilst lofting tools, like CurviLoft, may seen like a good choice there are limits to what you can achieve. Like DaveCapitalR says...it's hard to decipher the issue. Looks like some of your edges have hardened normals. Keep going though you'll brute force in the end Hello Mr.Rich O Brien, Thank you for your feedback. Regards. Nick 12

I had to suddenly get a new computer and have been trying to have my license reset since 3/11/22. I originally emailed Gary my user ID and heard nothing. I tried via the site and then emailed again 3/15. He then Gary responded to then email asking for my userid and I replied back within an hour. I never heard back from Gary and its been another 5 days. So 10 days of me trying to get in contact with Gary for an update. It appears that Gary was at some point very responsive, but its looking like that's no longer the case. Though this extension is amazing, I cannot use it and there seems to be a lacking in support. I hope that everything is ok and he just needs an assistant. I have other extensions where I can update my info via my account page and my account is reset instantly.

Be aware though that By Axis is not a perfect tool. It has a tolerance that does allow things to be very slightly off axis and still show the colour. It is more of a general overview than a perfect accuracy checker. We have seen cases where people insist their model is accurate because the colours says so, but there are still errors buried in the detail. If you suspect something is out of alignment the Text tool can be used to check the coordinates of endpoints. [image: qobv_OnOffaxis.gif]

You are the best!!!! You got me the exact answer. Thank you so much!!!!! L

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for my slow response to your replies. Thank you for your interest. I'd be extremely grateful to the SketchUp community to receive any generosity. I'd be happy to pass on those skills I've learnt too. I like helping people. Any help, even if you can cover some of the areas written below would be fun and interesting. Here's some further information for you all in being a bit more helpful compared to my original post. I've received recent help but it would perhaps be nice for someone who enjoys getting involved and sharing their knowledge as I'm quite enthusiastic. (I'm presently in the office now and happy to call or video chat or just chat. So to better help understand my dilemma (requirements haha) and to give anyone interested in helping. I've written this below. We are a Garage interior E-commerce business selling modular metal storage cabinetry systems. Focusing on residential home garages. As a no-obligation service we also provide a design & install service. Presently I've been using SketchUp Pro at an amateur to intermediate level where I draw up their garage from the plans provided. Due to a lack of experience, I have old legacy stuff to shift through. I've made a "Studio" SketchUp Profile which holds just a small handful of components (cabinets) sitting there visually ready to move and drop into position. This obviously requires addressing where a library folder needs creating. I've found a handy piece of software that works well with SketchUp called collector thanks to SketchUpEssentials's youtube video. Materials and models can be stored and dragged and dropped into a clean load of SketchUp Pro. I have to tidy up my act quite a bit. The primary aspect of all this is to improve workflow for a new designer to come in and hit the ground running. Ultimately, the object is to correctly group components, whilst also being mindful of the component's attributes such as weight, colour, product reference codes, price etc. The end goals are as follows: Have a portfolio of all the products (catalogue is an inch thick) Include the necessary attributes. Be able to export to an excel sheet or a better method to then... To then import and populate our quotation accounting software (to save time) We also supply dimensional drawings (in the process of looking into SketchUp layout). Including 3D renders. I've also done a tiny bit of research on LFC but that has just blown my mind. I'm only becoming mindful of properly using Tag and outliner whilst grabbing loads of useful extensions. I have begun to draw up the cabinets but I have the sinking feeling that if I don't do this properly, then it's going to cause me more work in the long run. I wouldn't enjoy the thought that I've drawn all these models in an unetiquette manner adding or placing displaced information poorly. The models will be used for the foreseeable future, about 2 to 3 years by new designer members and members of staff inexperienced in using a more complicated system such as AUTOCAD. WHich will be otherwise used by employed trained designers. But that's a long way off. Many thanks for the interest as far. It's lovely to see. Please PM me and I'd be happy to send my contact details and arrange a short meeting to see whether you can help. It'll just be us two on discord or something, nothing overall formal as I'm sure you'll appreciate as do I! All the best. Hexo

@bbdesign said: 'Forbidden You don't have permission to access /pluginrepo/rbz/SketchUcationTools.rbz on this server.' Hi, Today we have had a small problem with our plugin repository connection. I hope we successfully restored the connection, please try it now.

Thank you! You are always so helpful.

It was changed a couple of versions ago. You need to create tags and tag folers in the Tags panel.

Okay I think I got a work around. I took the (Human Model) Collada file w/textures, that sketchup didn't map the texture to the model and imported it into blender. I then exported it out of blender as a Collada file, then import that into sketchup and it worked. The texture mapped to the model the way it should. Here's a render(Rendered using Twilight Render)of the model. Looks pretty good, I just used some basic settings. I'm going to compare the file and see just how there different in the code.

To Massimo, Thanks, it works perfectly all these years later. I took a while to find this approach. May I ask why it works, and/or how you discovered it? Ed
