    Hello everyone. I've been using LOTT for over a year. So far so good. However, in SU 2025 I've notice some behavior when exporting and importing backup or LOTT configs. When I open a new SU session, one or several toolbars reappear on the drawing desktop, even though I closed those toolbars in a previous session. I've even tried restarting my pc, but the problem persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Charlie

    Version 1.0.2 - 05.22.2025 Enabled multi-ply floor headers for openings. Enabled variable lengths for staggered joists. [image: 1747908380426-floor_su262_800.jpg] [image: 1747908380450-floor_su263_800.jpg] You can now enter in a single value for the joist length or you can enter in a list of lengths deliminated by commas. This update per user request.

    I do not know how many SU users render in TM, but I have just heard that TM now has smart grass ( grass placement was an issue with TM) I am downloading TM 2025.1.1 So cant tell you how it works, but what I am hearing nothing but good things.

    https://www.leseditionsextensibles.com/fr/collections/objet-fictionnel/hoshi-go-club j'ai demandé à mon agente artistique (Aria) de me faire une petite chose sur le Marcel du champ! https://www.leseditionsextensibles.com/fr/collections/objet-fictionnel/hoshi-go-club Le topic était *Et si Marcel Duchamp avait joué au Go plutôt qu'aux échecs ? En fait c'est pas du tout fictionnel, on a retrouvé cela dans le grenier du Marcel! Cela a servi d'ébauche pour son fameux tableau, dont vous trouverez facilement le titre! A vous de jouer, de nos jours c'est d'une facilité déconcertante! Je vais vous mettre aussi les essais avec lesquels j'ai dû discuter pas à pas car elle était un peu en dehors des clous!

    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.

    @Rich-O-Brien said in Make Unique Texture giving weird results: Are you using the the Yellow pin to skew the image? That's UVW mapping which is not the same as your regular UV mapping which is purely 2D. If you skew an image in SketchUp you can introduce additional UV points so a plane with 4 verts could have 5 points when you view the UVs. [image: 1746549795145-7487ff2a-5f0f-4586-98bc-f32da2c43178-image.png] Hopefully this shows what I mean. I think if this type of mapping is where the issue may lie. Either its the new engine thats flaky or the destination app does not support UVW mapping. I could be wrong.....it has happened before....many many times. I don't use the coloured pins, I used the non "fixed pins". I think I understand how the UV mapping might get messed up when I first make the adjustments, but once the image is in place I simply "Make texture unique" and that used to resolve the issue.

    I agree that this form of construction would be for limited access housing. If you consider a small single bedroom home with no need for child or constant use, it looks sharp. I have a lot of use of yacht stair types in my small home designs and frankly see no problem with it. This could be considered as loft access and how many times does anyone access their loft? Just as those who tell me that, "In the USa, people box in their fridge freezer",,, I get it but, I do not live in the USA so, consider the value of a limited use product and how it might be of valkue WITH that limited access. My 1970 VW, had an engine that IS less than 100% environmentally friendly but, considering the additnional energy consumed by a new BEV, was at least as good over the whole life. If not better, considering the reduction in use of exotic metals.......

    I think what you want is like a variable pitch helix. The curve of the helix begins from a horizontal plane then begins the helix and at the top the pitch transitions to another horizontal plane. In Sketchup you'd have to mess with the line segments. I tried finding something in Blender and haven't found anything. I'm still a novice with that. It looks like Solidworks and Rhino can do something like that.

    Hi, @Gus-R. How you doin'? Thanks for your answer. I've already watched most of Justin's material over dynamic objects, as well as many other developers'. His contents are very good and were a little elucidating for me, but, unfortunately, the solution to my problem doesn't lie there. Would you have any other recommendations?

    @Leggy Never experienced it. Best thing to do is rule out extensions by renaming your plugins folder to prevent it loading to see if running in vanilla remedies it. If yes, then you need to track down what is causing the issue. If no, it maybe be hardware related so poke about the settings to see if lowering values sort things out.

    I find the AO style looks more dirty than AO. Its like a cavity map mixed with AO. Not your scene just in general. Looks great for exterior stuff but object filled interiors looks a bit grimy. Nice to see them gives Styles some attention though. I always felt that StyleBuilder was really an opportunity for SketchUp to have a companion app that allowed us to do NPR rendering etc. Your scene is nice though.

    @Gábor An odd title indeed... According to GoogleTranslate... This [аываырпукфрерп] refers to generally good things... e.g. 'Thanksgiving' in many diverse languages... e.g. in Assamese from NE India... OR Aymara from the Bolivian Andes... OR Bambara from Mali in Africa... OR Bhojpuri from that India and Nepal... OR Dhevehi from the Maldives... OR Dogri from Jammu and Kashmir [India]... OR Ewe / Twi from Ghana and Togo... OR Guarani from Paraguay... OR Ilocano from the Philippines... OR Konkani from Western India... OR Krio from Sierra Leone... OR Sorani Kurdish... OR Lingala from the Congo [Bantu]... OR Luganda from the African central lakes... OR Maithili from India and Nepal... OR Meitei / Manipuri / Mizo from Tibet and NE India... OR Oromo from Ethiopia / Kenya... OR Quechuan from Peru and the Andes... OR Sanskrit the ancient language from the Indian subcontinent... OR Sepedi [Sotho] / Tsonga from NE South Africa... OR Tigrinya from Tigray... OR it could mean 'Andhra Pradesh' [SE India] in simplified Chinese... OR it could mean 'Ayurvedic Medicine' in Hindi... OR it could mean 'Pain Free' in Tatar... OR it could mean 'Don't Worry' in Turkmen... OR it could mean 'The Difference' in Uryghur [Turkic Central Asia]... But I suspect it's just a gibberish title that coincidentally has some meaning[s]... I think your answer will resolve it !

    That's UV projection. Select the face in SketchUp, right click and check if its set to Projected.

    @ijkfraser this is a known issue in SketchUp 2023. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.
