In a world where Buddhist 'holy men' have declared the murder of Muslims to be right and so called Christians advocating the murder of doctors for doing things that are legal but not in their book et al. How can any of us declare Islam to be worse or better than othe faiths? There will always be those humans who take the name of a faith, who declare they do the "Work of god" etc. What we need rid of is extremism. I don't care what or who folk are as I gave up rationalising any of it. Decency to those around us is what is important. We had a saying when I was a child, "Stretch it, don't tear it". There is another way of putting it which is more succinct, "Could not scratch their behinds without tearing it/bleeding". Also, thinking of how 'men' of faith are. The inquisition? The Crusades? All nations and faiths go through the same situations where they act reprehensibly so, get rid of extremism and try to understand each other. putin, thinks he is a christian FE. I hope you all have a great 2026, you and yours and thanks to the Sketchucation team for putting up with ALL of us. Yes, I have dropped the ball too so, sorry about that folks.

Looks like a case of poor engineering to me

@L-i-am said in Having a bad day?: Hi Guys have not been very active of late as I am temporally on a med that completely stifles creativity, hence no sketchup. However this appeared on facebook. It made me smile from ear to ear. Careful though it can be I know how you feel. I had some surgery a few months ago and am trying to get back too SketchUp. As @rich-o-brien and a couple of others can tell you, I have been having some problems getting back into it. Trying to use some features that I either have not used before (or at least for a long time) and have asked some pretty silly/dumb questions. However, I am determined to learn/get back with it. Hope all is well with you and you can get back with it. I know you have posted some great work in the past and you will get there again.

Apparently more accurate than folk might think..

This is really great, and thank you for sharing. You did the right job and well deserve what you got! I wish for way better upcoming days man!

I wish I could teach how to paint watercolors (online or in person)

Thank you..

It needs some kind of lock-unlock mechanism..

There are a number of extensions that wind up exploding curves. Round Corner and Fredo Corner do. Also the various Boolean tools explode curves. Follow Me does, as well. As a matter of habit I run Auto Weld frequently. I also find Auto Weld important for restoring circles and arcs.

As it turns out, using the Extension Manager did not really uninstall the Trimble Scan Essentials plugin. However, do to some replies from others, I did get the issue resolved. OK, I finally got everything setup correctly now. It was kind of an awkward process but here is what I did: First I uninstalled 2026 Then I made sure all plugins were up to date in 2025 Then I clicked on the check for update in 2025 Now I ran the update option in 2025 to install 2026 When the process for installing 2026 ran, I deselected the Trimble Scan Essentials, Revit Importer and V-Ray Everything is now running fine and the Trimble Scan Essentials is finally gone and all of my plugins are installed and things are now the way I want them. Once again, I really want to thank everyone (on the SketchUp and SketchUcation forums) for the replies and insight of how to get things going correctly again. As I said in the original post, I have been gone for a while. Now I can get back to using SketchUp (latest version) again.
