    @valerostudio I've sent you the rbz files in a private message @rv1974 I've also sent the same stuff to you, because as far as I can remember, you are also a 3dsMax user and most of my tools are "porting" of Max features still missing in the current Sketchup quads/subdivision workflow. So maybe you can have some fun with that.

    The custom wall "draw" tool is going to be a little bit different from the existing wall tools. Currently I have it so that can select a face (grouped or ungrouped). The face has to be vertical, in more precise terms this means the face normal vector must be perpendicular to the Z axis. Also note that as you hover over the face the nearest vertex is highlighted with the light green circle: [image: 1782957316187-wall_su1313_800.jpg] This indicates where the "origin" or start point of the wall will be drawn from. Once you select the face, the tool then goes to phase 2, which allows you to project along the face in one of two directions. This will determine which side is the interior or exterior of the wall: [image: 1782957320863-wall_su1314_800.jpg] The thick blue line indicates the ray or vector that is being used to determine which way the wall is facing, also the 3D wireframe indicates the wall's general envelope or geometry.

    @Naty-Mureb Your best bet at SKP 'repair' is through @ colin on SketchUp.com forum. He's a SketchUp team member and has access to specialized tools, that others don't have. PM him there and mention me [TIG] if you want to...

    Any AI image generation relies on the input image to have some level of clarity. You don't get any real control over materials. Try it out with and already existing model to get a feel for it.

    @ntxdave said in Create new or adjust materials: The only problem I am having now is that when I rotate the object (actually the camera) So you mean orbit the camera? @ntxdave said in Create new or adjust materials: the image on the back side of the heart comes and goes Sounds like Z-fighing. Make the image of the heart a texture and apply it to just the back face of the heart. Turn on Hidden Geometry so you can paint the back separately from the rest.

    Once again, I want to thank all of you for your responses. As I said earlier, this is not my first model and I have been using SU for several years. Just doing things far different from what I am working on now. @Box was right on. I finally did it correctly and it worked exactly the way I wanted it to. My dimensions are slightly off (VERY minor) but I got it to do exactly what I wanted. . I have some other challenges but hope I can share what I am doing in a couple of days. You will all wonder what the heck was so difficult.

    You can also now license from directly within Sketchucation Tools using the Licensing Tab [image: 1759499507011-b63998e1-181d-4c5f-91ba-6d262d4c6185-image.png]

    Bug splats

    Every SketchUp release includes bug fixes. As Rich indicates it might be related to an extension. Are these Bug Splats you are experiencing a recent thing? Can you identify what change in your computer might have happened right before you started seeing the Bug Splats? Obviously SketchUp 2017 hasn't changed in 8 years. You could disable all of the extensions and see if you still get Bug Splats. If not, enable half of them and see if there's a change. If so it's probably one of those extensions. If not, enable half of the remaining ones and check again. It could also be related to graphics drivers or operating system updates. If that's the case rolling back to a version from before when the Bug Splats started would be the next step. What operating system are you using? Keep in mind that your computer is evolving out from under SketchUp 2017 Make. I presume you are using it as a hobbyist so it may not be a big deal that you have to deal with Bug Splats but for those who any software professionally, it's important to decide whether you are going to keep the applications updated to the supported operating system and other applications or if you're going to prevent the computer from getting updates in order to stick with the OS supported by the applications.

    VEIL OVER SCENES

    @Woodarc said in VEIL OVER SCENES: I had the axes in the wrong place and, in effect, was looking at the scenes from below ground level. FWIW, the "veil" wasn't due to the location of the axes. Just that the camera was below ground level and the style had ground displayed and Show ground from below turned on. The location of the the ground plane is fixed in the model space and not tied to the location of the axes. By default the axes are positioned such that red and green lie on the ground plane and cross at the origin. Moving the axes doesn't move the ground plane nor does it move the origin.

    Meantime I've managed to find a plugin which solves the case - tomtom, tt_guide_tools-1.4.1, maybe it will be usefull for someone as well. However if you have any other ideas - please let me know.

    What's your typical FOV in SketchUp when modelling? That might be throwing you off. I use 35mm in my startup file. But if I'm modelling from reference and use AI to estimate the FOV of the reference image and go from there. Unless the image has explicit camera data I can get from properties.
