Hi If you bought Vertex Tools version 1 it will not be able to activate version 2. A major version upgrade require a new license. After 10 years version 1 is retired and only version 2 will be receiving updates. There is still a 50% discount offer to upgrade from version 1 to version 2. To obtain your discount codes, enter the email you used to order VT1 into the form on this page: https://evilsoftwareempire.com/discounts -T

You need to add some extra code, e.g. read the scene name then split it at the space etc etc name="Scene 2 1;00pm" splitname=name.split(" ") ###>>> ["Scene", "2", "1;00pm"] timestring = splitname[2] ###>>> "1;00pm" ###delete the ; timestring.gsub!(/[;]/, "") ###>>> "100pm" ###now check if pm if timestring=~/pm$/ timestring.gsub!(/pm$/, "") time_num=timestring.to_i + 1200 ###>>> 100 >>> 1300 timestring=time_num.to_s ### elsif timestring=~/am$/ timestring.gsub!(/am$/, "") ###>>> 100 end name=splitname[0]+" "+splitname[1]+" "+timestring ### modify name >>> "Scene 2 1300" ### ### now rename that scene with the modified name etc... ### To strip off the entire 'Scene N ' part just use: name=timestring ### modify name >>> "Scene 2 1;00pm" >>> "1300"

Thanks Glenn, that did the trick!

Thank you JGA. That resolved it. I was not aware those were the file names. You have helped improve the performance of the program for me. The exporter to nowhere was causing performance issues with SketchUp.

OK, i should have worked a little more before asking for help I understand now When different lengths are introduced, if there as many lengths of uncut tube as cut tubes [image: RnBy_2021-03-0116_53_18-Inteloide-TubeCuttingOptimizationsketchUcation1.png] It gives a results, but with an error: tube number 1, 3 m long, cannot be divided in 4.76 m

OHHH I see! Thanks!

Vertex Tools 1 was retired and replaced with Vertex Tools 2. If you want to use Vertex Tools in SU2021, you'll need to switch to Vertex tools 2. @unknownuser said: I don't think I need the vertex tools 2 Actually you do if you want to use it in SU2021.

Thanks, masterlaws! I followed the modification using "vi" on my Mac and didn't see the updated version until after I had it working.

Thanks to Nathaniel that helped my find the culprit that was staring at my face. It was offset.rb which was installed by windowizer4.rbz which I installed yesterday.

@maurusmike @maurusmike said: Is there anyone else experiencing trouble with the 2021 updates for Animator and Libfredo6? When I make an object follow a path, there is no way to make the camera track the object. In the 2019 and 2020 versions, I've never had problems with this. Is it a bug in the updates or have I missed some new advice how to do it in 2021? Thanks for any help This problem is fixed in Animator v3.3a. Unfortunately, you will have to delete the camera tracker sequences and recreate them.

@carlurcia said: Hi, I´m having a problem with Animator after not using it for months. I used to put "tracking cameras" for following objects and trying to smooth the transition between the "sketch up cameras". But everything works well except de "tracking cameras" which block the Animator and don´t allow you to continue with the video. Could you post or PM me the model so that I have a look. Many thanks Fredo

What's new in 1.0.3 version? One can export time layers to a MP4 or GIF animation. Import of component time data has been fixed. A toolbar is available. Download latest Layers/Tags In Time plugin from the SketchUcation PluginStore.

Replace it with a white pic - 512x512 jpg, in the plugin folder.

Well TIG thanks for the reply. I guess I will need to be more careful. One thing I did notice after that disaster, I tried to find all the places that I had added the Guides_Proxies and I guess I didn't find all the guides. Because when I exported to a 3d DWG, I saw areas that had the text, "Guide to Proxies" in my 3d CAD file. They were scattered all about the model. In the SketchUp file, I tried everything I could to locate these "guides" but couldn't locate or make visible these wondering "guides" Anyway, thanks to reply and help. Now just use your "plugin master" weight/charm to make the SketchUp team to make TAGs undeletable. The above was humor. Not good humor, however, meant in jest.

An area-text-tag has to be added into the same entities context as the face - you pick the face. It's telling you that. Edit the group/component containing the face[s] and add the area-text-tag[s] while you are in that edit-context... It should then work OK...

Just a two click Tag/Layer plugin. I'll just make sure I draw on the appropriate tag/layer from now on. @pbacot said: Oh, I thought you meant a "Selection" tool. So, what properties? Material : The material tool (paint bucket) has this built in. The only other property that I think you would wish to copy is Tag/Layer.

Hello Didier Bur, I will try to sketch what I have in mind. Do you have a mailbox to send you a rough idea for a tool description and some sketches ?? Greetings, Uli

Good news. The bug described below is fixed with the latest library versions, LibFredo6_v11.5b. Did it twice to make sure and ruby console stays clean. Didn't check the initial issues yet but I'll assume this is a good sign. @gus r said: That didn't work. Some new troubleshooting information. Start up SU and then open Profile Builder 3 "Assembly Dialog" and lay out a "Barrier Fence" it kills all the menus in LibFredo6 Settings. Start up SU again and if I open an menu under LibFredo6 Setting then create a fence it has not affect on the menus which keep working. All menus work with a fresh start of SU. This is ruby output on error: Error: #<Errno::EBADF: Bad file descriptor> c:/users/asus p8p67 deluxe/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2021/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/top_libfredo6.rbe:118:in... Happens with antivirus paused too.

The author would need to update it. Maybe you could post in the appropriate thread. The author hasn't logged in since last March and may not be maintaining the extension anymore. Please update your profile. It says you are still using SketchUp 2017.

Thank you. Your ScaleTool has the same problem.
