@jo901 said: Hi I'm trying to download JHS toolbar and each time I attempt it a new SketchUp model page opens with a dialog box telling me that "this appears not to be a model" which then as you click it, to get rid of the dialog box, sketch up closes. Any help appreciated, Thanks Jo please do not start duplicate threads

Not for SketchUp but... Try this one

Thank you TIG! One click - problem gone! Cheers, Jeff O.

Physics-based engine takes constraint and simulate the result of a movement, considering these constraints (joints, gravity, etc...). In Animation plugins (like Animator), you really specify each movement of objects and cameras. So it's not a simulation. Indeed, you have more control on the result, since it is always exactly what you designed. Both have their learning curve and need practice.

Have a look at Flattery. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Flattery

@baz said: This post heading is misleading, it looks more like a question rather than a 'How To'. It might be an idea to rename your post with the prefix: 'Tutorial'. As in: Tutorial: How to Change the Sketchup Measurement Unit You might also mention that plugins are available to change units on the fly. Very useful, for example, when reading boatbuilding plans. I am curious as to why you wished to share these very basic settings. Is this something you have had difficulty with? Cheers, Baz yes, i mean so. thanks for your suggestion daz, i fixed it soon I really enjoy sketchup and I would like to share this basic experience even though sometimes I encounter problems with sketchup.

Thanks a lot pbacot, for the moment I don't know how the roof and the frame were built. I effect the house is built with only bricks and sometimes few concrete. The builders took everything they had on hand and they didn't have enough quantity. There is absolutely nothing right ! But really no walls and roofs are straight. It's a very good exercise ! Actually i need to make good exterior construction with the walls, because i need to adapt a verenda with existing walls. For the moment i don't need to touch the roof. the roof does'nt need renovation. I understand your process to built this type. You are right about the roof, it's better to draw all the wood, like this we can make exactly the same "operation". When i go to the house i'll take measure and picture to draw the roof at 100 % with the wood. Thanks for your request and your help Pbacot ! If you want see the finish draw it's with pleasure !

@dave r said: Try going to 150% again. Then reboot the computer and open SketchUp. Any better? Please update your profile. It is obsolete right now. Thanks Dave, it's resolved now. Updated to 2020, all comes back. Appreciated.

In the Mac version of SketchUp, none of the tooltips in Tool Palettes for extensions work in horizontal configuration, even with the extensions that come with SketchUp such as Advanced Camera Tools and Sandbox tools. Large Tool Set and Solid Tools are exceptions to this as they have two columns of icons and don't flip betwen horizontal and vertical so the tooltips always work in those two. The tooltips can work in vertical orientation, but only if you change to vertical then restart SketchUp. If you leave all your tool palettes vertical, the tooltips will work even after closing them and opening them in different SketchUp sessions. This is not a great workaround though as I'd prefer the long ones to be horizontal as my screen width is bigger than its height. To switch to horizontal, drag the tool palette to the top of the screen. To switch to vertical, drag it to the left of the screen.

On the Mac it's Option not Ctrl that activates Copy with Move and Rotate. Pay attention to the bottom left of the screen. It'll tell you what the modifier keys are for the current tool.

@box said: Here's a quicky, you won't have cut and paste in place in your context menu, you'll find them in Edit. I've used click drag to set the axis of rotation on the rotate tool but you can set it to green with the left arrow key. Wow!! Worked like a charm and it is literally endless what I can use this for! Thank you! I love forums where people help each other. Much appreciated!!

@numatik said: Thanks for your response! On your clip I cant see what your doing when you move the curser out of the frame. I get to exactly where your clip starts, but what exactly is happening off screen? Thanks in advanced! Nothing terribly special going on. Clicked on File>Import and selected the image I wanted to use.

It might seem like a simple question to you, but I fear that something is lost in translation... What is 'Quotation' ? Please explain it more clearly, including the context - tool, the steps you are taking etc... and I'm sure one of us will be able to help you...

What "simple gird" function are you looking for? I assume you mean GRID. From your screen shot it looks like you are asking about the grids for the Clothworks extension. The Clothworks grid options are show at the top of the last flyout menu. If you are referring to something else, please be more specific. And as Juju please update your profile so we can more easily help you.

Can you be more specific about what is happening? Maybe upload a GIF that shows what it is doing? Without more information we can only guess. Two common issues are, 1: incorrect installation. On Windows machines SketchUp must be installed by right clicking on the downloaded installer and selecting Run as administrator. And b: graphics driver problem. What graphics card are you using with SketchUp? Maybe the drivers need an update. If it's an integrated GPU, it could be that a broken driver was pushed with a Windows update. That's not uncommon. Best is to go to the GPU manufacturer's site and download their most recent drivers to install.

@box said: 8+ years later there is a paid Extension by Eneroth, I think Visual Merge is the name. Look in the E Warehouse. Thanks Box, I'll look into it. I have unsuccessfully searched multiple times for a plugin to do this over the years and now alas 5 minutes after posting I found another possible plugin (I'll test both!). https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=61842

@mamattos said: Hello! I've been using SU 2020 and having the same trouble... Probably the easiest thing would be to do the labeling in LayOut where you can select what level you want to identify. In this example Bookstand is the top level, Top Easel Assembly is the next level down and Top easel panel is the lowest level. [image: XZh4_Screenshot-3_29_20207_19_44PM.png]

Usually this indicates the graphics card isn't working correctly. You can try going to Window>Preferences>OpenGL and change the setting for Use Fast Feedback. That often helps. Also, go directly to the graphics card maker's site and get their latest drivers. In case you missed this step when installing SketchUp, find the downloaded installer, right click on it and select Run as administrator. Then when the option is presented, choose Repair.
