Thanks everyone for the replies. I realize the way SketchUp recognizes solids means that adding these walls precludes the volume from being recognized in the SketchUp world as solid volumes, but had hoped there was some workaround here. What I have done is as suggested, modeled 2 separate solid volumes. I'll be talking to the guy doing the energy calculations today. He uses several different programs, as well so maybe there is an answer from his side. I'm also thinking that just because SketchUp see's things this way, doesn't necessarily mean his software will, if I use a single skin separating partition wall with openings indicated. Thanks again, and I'll let you know how this works out.

It sounds to me like pilot error. In order for the extension to be active you need to have a selected section plane. You can also run it from the Context menu when you right click on a section plane. If you go back to the extension's page in the EW, there's a video you can watch that clearly shows how to use it.

If they fall, the glass with the holes is probably incorrect? You can use Fredos convexify (part of FredoTools) to subdivide it to convex shapes ...

Can you post the path to the RBZ download for Floor Generator at SketchUcation.com It's no longer available in the PluginStore, because the author has withdrawn it from publication following a spurious undisclosed 3rd-party copyright claim... Perhaps you have an old version saved on your PC ? Anyway it should not do what you've reported. Have you tried clearing the Internet Explorer cache ? It might be corrupted and messing with Webdialogs ?? Clearly the Fredo's dialogs shouldn't behave like this either ! Also try disabling the renderers and see if that is implicated...

Hi yorik1984! First of all, thank you very much for the plugin! It helps a lot! The only time I have encountered a problem was with a test of a "worst case scenario" of mine (I'm developing a spreadsheet to use the data from sketchup). I tried with two times of "component groups", making them as a new component and the other time using Component Groups. Your plugin worker just as expected when I make new components, but it failed when I use groups Make Unique Plus Test (Using Groups)

My suggestion is based on your background- you have tons of discreet importers\exporters for numerous programs (we bought some btw). Creating universal and flawlessone-click translator undoubtedly has a great potential too.

SDMitch Bevelmaker looks great, but looks like it doesn't work in recent SketchUp versions... Thanks for the link pilou, now I understand why such plugin does not exist!

Works perfectly with V17 Make so you have a glitch somewhere!

Re downloading and installing, it's no good, I still have the last release and it does not install in Sketchup versions after 2015 out of the box. The method above works well though. C/users/programdata/sketchup/sketchup version/plugins. The folder and rb are there.

[image: IlKt_POOLPARTYFUN.jpg]Good grief One hour for final render is not fast and how many tries does one need to do to get it right??? I use Artlantis 4(obsolete version too)for not quite photo real work but gets it done in 10-20 minutes max. Not direct in SU but manages hi poly files quickly and in real time. More than OK for decent presentation and project approvals. Artlantis was worth the time to learn for quick renders. After all the built project is really the goal. Never a subscription app for me in any case.

Couple things to check. Make sure nothing is selected or else Artisan will use it as a 'mask' and your tools will only affect the selected edges / faces. Make sure you are not trying to use the Artisan tools on a group or component. First double-click to edit the group so you can select individual faces. Then the tools should work. If you're terrain is actually 'locked' (red when selected), right click and select unlock. But this is a SketchUp feature, not related to Artisan

Ok, ta.

@dedmin said: When running ThruPaint and hitting ESC key it acts like Undo. Yes. This is by design. Ctrl-Z works as well.

@halroach said: I think I found a bug which causes Sketchup to crash. I seem to have narrowed it down to double-cut, and specific dynamic components. It happened to me on 3 different PCs with windows 10 and Sketchup 2017. Hi Halroach. We looked into this bug report but we could not reproduce it using version 1.1.0. Have you tried the new version? Maybe the crash has been resolved. Thanks!

With MSPhysics everything is possible..

@tig said: Complex Extensions and licensed ones will take longer to load. So anything doing Rendering is an obvious suspect. Others which have license-checking - e.g. Estimator - might also impose a delay. Have you installed the SketchUcation Toolset? https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchUcationTools It includes several useful tools... You can use its "Plugin Manager" to disable sets of loader files and see which are causing the issue. You can of course just slim-down your loading files so that only those you regularly use are loading at start up ! Thx for the feedback TIG , I'm gonna give it a try right now !. To wait long for SketchUp to opens is kinda frustrating!

Try: View/ Hidden geometry(untick)

You should create a PB3 assembly that uses one part for the posts (component) and another component-type span part for the rails. Then, try using the above-mentioned random component replacer plugin to swap the posts for randomized versions and the rail components as randomized versions.
