Pilot error here. Apologies to all. Dave #1 External components are not affected by the divide function only the Presets except the [Box] option. Also the instance functions used in a session (Fur dialog open)are retained in the [Make by component] pull down until purged. To clear purge SU components and close and re-open the [Make by component] Tig All your recommends were in place when the Fur error was observed. Thanks for your help in any case. End and done dtr

No errors, with the new version, I can go to the draw menu, select create board, enter the info, and click ok, then nothing... Same if I try to save default. Looks like resize board is having the same issue of not doing anything. Thanks

@gilles said: Yes this works, I' running Mountain lion Mac book pro SU V8. As I said before ESC does not deselect with some tools when they are active. well.. that's just strange (tried it in su8 too on lion and mavericks-- with various active tools).. i'm sure there's a reason behind the differing behaviors on our computers but i guess it's not important enough to figure out. fwiw, i do use the ESC key often in sketchup but i use it as a cancel button while drawing (for instance, i use the line tool if i need to measure something but i ESC once i see the dimension in the measurement box.. or if i misplace the beginning click of a tool etc..)

i change the name DisplayInstanceAxes.rb to ToggleComAxes.rb and everything works fine now....

Fine! If you like you can support his cookie jar...

Even if a PNG Image is transparent the shadow is ALWAYS a rectangle ! To have a cutout shadow you need to make a cutout Component made from an Image. See my ImageTrimmer tool [comes with SKMtools] OR do it longhand by editing the outline... ImageTrimmer works on PNG Images with a transparent background... It then offers the chance to convert it into a JPG texture, because that will receive shadows unlike a PNG based textured material

Thank you TIG

I tried using Microsoft IntelliPoint... but it did NOT work. [image: 3r0c_IntelliPoint_SketchUp_Pan.png]

@mitcorb said: Have you tested Fredo's ThruPaint for this? Maybe some other UV tools? I assume you have posted at tgi3d support? I think this is really a SU problem, as it is SU who splits a smoothed face into lots of small triangle face texture files/materials? Thanks for the tip, but according to the docs about it it doesn't seem to be able to do this job, although it looks like a very useful (which I have had installed for a while, but never really used..). After fiddling around with the tgi3D Create Texture, I'm starting to get a better grasp of what what works ok and what doesn't. What is interesting too is that with the tgi3D Move tool vertices can be moved around without scrambling the textures/UVs. Works very well for finetuning "UVs"

Have you submitted the BugSplat? Did you enter any information that we can use to look them up?

@inpro said: Thank you Sam, This is exactly what I needed. I owe you a bottle of 40 years whiskey. Good work and thank you! You're welcome but it is hardly worth 40 year old whiskey. A beer maybe.

These error-messages are indicative of a Plugin version that is incompatible with SketchUp v2014. Do NOT copy versions across from older Plugins folders. Install fresh versions of your Plugins from the authors' pages or the PluginStore or the EWH... Many Plugins have already been updated to be compatible with v2014. If you find that a latest version is not compatible with v2014, then let the author know... and a fix might be quickly effected...

@rv1974 said: PMed. Thanks. I can't even remember what I was trying to do. It looks like just a random scaling between 2 percentages of current size.

@kiey said: @cotty said: Like this one? It's not work in Sketchup 2014. In fact with the updated methods in v2014 have a "save_as_earlier_version" method... It'd be quite easy to make a menu item that saves the file as an alternative version and even a different name...

Just looked at the loader code and can see the problem. Using a timer and trying to guess when your submenu will be ready is pretty fragile.

Ah, see that is my problem, when I copy and paste into SU 2014 I get errors so I was hoping to have an updated version of it.

@dave r said: Did you look under Preferences>Extensions to make sure the box for Round Corner is ticked? Did you look for its toolbar? How did you install it? Did you use the SCF Plugin Store to do that? All is working now.......
