Thank you for the offer! I have since realised that I did not create the text in question in SU, but in Estlcam, the program in which I load the dxf and define the milling paths, and which is just as inflexible as far as this question is concerned, and have been able to identify the font in the long list: Monotype. But, since I sometimes create it directly in SU, the question still arises. I will install this extension. If I don't get along, I will post the skp. With kind regards Alohaa

No. It's a per-viewport thing. Generally those aren't the sorts of settings you would want for every viewport at least from the beginning. Preserve Scale will automatically be activated when you set a scale for the viewport. Note that you should make sure as you are working in your LO project that you aren't modifying the Camera properties for the viewports. Avoid having the Reset button appearing in the Camera section of the SketchUp Model window. BTW, there is a LayOut forum category. You should post your LayOut questions there.

The online SketchUp versions do not allow extension use - sorry.

The quality of the imported image will be determined by the original picture. You can see how you can use Inkscape with Sketchup by looking at the attached sample skp.

@juhil123456 said: Sketchup extension soap bubbles skin not proper work really disappointed this plugin. What do you mean by that? Be specific. Share your SketchUp file so we can see what you are working with. The extension works fine if it is used the way it is designed to work. What version of SketchUp are you actually using? You put Free/Make 2022 in your forum profile but there is no such version.

For a curve you have two choices : 1 - Use the same method as what was shown for a straight edge. 2 - Explode the curve then delete unwanted segments. Of course parts of segments can be deleted if method 1 is used.

Here are some updated files. The SketchUp file is version 2020. Animation Video SketchUp Model

@dave r said: Exporting at a larger size helps show shorter segments but it also makes them thinner so you have to watch that. The same sketchy style was used for all the different export sizes in this image. [image: 8652776711_50981cb720_c.jpg] Another thing that helps when working with sketchy styles is to weld edges. In this example both of these are exactly the same shape, The curves of the left hand one are all exploded. The curves on the right hand one are all welded.

In particular, I didn't think the line would change depending on welding. I think I can try various things according to your advice. Thank you for the details! Thank you so much for your help, and I hope you have a happy day!

Is there any other way I can release these seats? I released your seats. Please make sure your devices are running Sketchucation Tools 4.3 and Libfredo 14+ Once you have those you can manage seats at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php

I'm not arguing with you. I'm not trying to tell you or your company to change its policies. I'm only relaying what I've seen from a large number of users who have ended up with files that are corrupted to the point of being unrecoverable. In the last week I personally dealt with three or four different users who had been working with files saved directly to network servers. In each case the files were no longer viable. It doesn't seem to be only when a manual save is performed. Often the problem appears to happen during auto-save. I'm not telling anyone what to do regadring this. Only what I've seen from other users. I've seen enough problem files from others that there's no way I would work on files saved to a network server or the cloud. I would always download them to my internal drive to work on them and then upload back to the server or cloud location. You're right that a local drive can die but it isn't as common an event as a break in a network connection. I back up all of my files to a second internal drive and also publish them to my Trimble Connect storage just in case. I'm glad you've never had problems and I hope you never do.

That's a Windows File Explorer thing and yes you can do that, not a SketchUp thing. [image: L5w8_open.gif]

Thanks for your query! Absolutely, there are many excellent beginner tutorials for creating neon signs and text. YouTube is a great place to start; search for "neon sign text tutorial" or "neon sign effect for beginners." You'll find step-by-step guides covering software like Photoshop, Illustrator, or even free alternatives like GIMP. Websites like Skillshare and Udemy also offer comprehensive courses on neon sign design. These resources will provide you with the knowledge and skills to craft stunning neon light signage, whether for personal projects or professional design work. Happy creating!

He is referencing Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/for-math-fans-a-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-number-42/ 42 is the answer to everything and to nothing but not related to your issue. You are mostly likely experiencing crashes because of geometry formation rather than the angle. But there's also many unknowns as to why. If I were to ask SketchUp to round a corner with 60 segments at a distance of 0.25mm I would expect it to crash. You need to provide more context for someone to offer a reason or solution.

There are several ways to get actual geometry from an image. Import the image as an image and trace it with the various drawing tools, use a PNG with transparen't background and Image Trimmer from TIG's SKM Tools extension, or use some raster to vector converter to generate the line work as .dxf which you can then import into SketchUp. Which is best depends on the image and what you need out of it.

Je pense que c'est quand j'ai posté ici que tout s'est débloqué, donc à priori un message suffit, mais ce serais bien de le noter quelque part, non ? Mais merci de votre soutien. Gilles. I think it was when I posted here that everything was unlocked, so a priori a message is enough, but it would be nice to note it somewhere, right? But thank you for your support. Gilles
