    @jackybe67 This has been reported before. It's probably because you have one of Chuck Vali's extensions loading. He omitted giving it a Version [check in your Extension Manager for that omission...],. This means that when we try to find its version so we look for updates it trips us up with a fault. Our v5.0.3 sidesteps this very problem [amongst others] and should be published very soon...

    Animation data are stored in the model. All data related to movements, cameras and visual effects refer to objects of the model via a unique ID. The .animator file is simply a backup file, in case something is corrupted in the model. The fromat is a serialization of the working data structures in the plugin. So, not really designed for a clean export. Exporting the animation would first require that you are able to export the container objects (Groups, ComponentInstance), with their transformations.

    Good to meet you @pixelcruncher If you have a look at the video I linked to in my previous comment, it's very easy. You just describe it with words, and it doesn't affect the rest of the render. ComfyUI is a tool that helps you work with AI models, so you'd need to train a model (e.g. Qwen or Seedream) to do these kinds of operations for you precisely. Yes, we do have an API (you can test it here https://rapidapi.com/myarchitectai-team-myarchitectai-team-default/api/architecture-rendering-api) but we didn't include the editing tools in it yet as they're still in beta.

    What are you trying to achieve? Could you share any reference images? To use Flowify, it’s not necessary to work with solid objects, so there’s no need to check with the solid inspector. However, your wavy wall should be made of a clean quad mesh. If you created it using Corviloft, it should be fine, as long as the "top and bottom" and "left and right" curves have the same number of segments. Flowify requires quad geometry, not solid objects. You can verify this by turning on the hidden geometry. For additional guidance, you can follow this Flowify tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCFUCE7Bb4Q

    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.

    @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?

    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 !
