ThruPaint is part of FredoTools. You need to install that to get ThruPaint. Make sure you also install LibFredo6.

You've probably posted in the old thread that relates to just this tool. The various 'EEby' tools were merged long ago into the "Extrusion Tools"... It works in all current versions of SketchUp - including v2020, although its guidance notes currently stop at v2019. Since v2017 it has become more prone to Bugsplats during very complex modeling operations, so "always-save-before-using"... Get the RBZ from here and install it... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ExtrudeTools As DaveR says you should then see the 'signed' entry in the Extension Manager as 'ExtrudeTools' [TIG], and the toolbar can be activated, there are also menu entries...

In your example SKP the two materials use widely different RGB values, but these can be consolidated by giving a suitable range in the dialog. However, they use different texture image files with different image-scaling etc, so they are seen as so different that they are not able to be processed... Materials using textures can be consolidated, but only if the two materials use the same texture-file-name and they have the same image_height/width, and use the same texture-height/width settings. Otherwise they are not merged into one, as they are too different...

thank you sorry to bother you again, just one last question: when I do that, it works almost perfect.. it just doesn't create any faces on the slices... am I doing something wrong? I have 'add section faces' on... [image: 7Ibc_Anotao2020-04-10142901.png]

Make sure the it's the latest version. Go here to check: https://flextools.cc/ Make sure SketchUp 2019 was installed correctly by right clicking on the downloaded installer file and clicking on Run as administrator. Then choose the repair option. Also make sure the latest version of SU2019 is installed from sketchup.com/download/all If after doing those things the error message still shows, contact the Flextools customer support for assistance.

Nice. Thanks

Dear, i am still getting my textures renamed as _auto_4.bmp, i read all the posts but couldn,t figured out the issue, using windows and Sketchup 2017, can you help.

Hi, There are many ways of computing the "center" of a surface. First: what kind of surface ? Planar, Nurbs, ruled surface ? Second: Center point can be the barycenter, centroid, average edges, average vertices, etc. Third: what kind of output do you want ? 3D coordinates, Lat/Lon coordinates... Regards

Thanks, Dave! Rene, please send an email to clothworks@sketchucation.com to get a new copy of your licence.

great & thanks Tig And it is great that the interpolated colors from the now deleted textures remain

I you make these 2 clicks you will see the protractor for make your wanted rotation like my video above! All will miss if your 2 clicks are not exactly aligned on the base top face external "second object"! [image: 9Fq7_bon_courage.jpg]

Hello. Thanks to you I found the problem! Im using milimeters as my units. If I type the height of stairs as 2800mm it works fine but then once I enter set parameters it shows calculated rise as some weird number (see attachment). If that number is set then we get errors in Ruby console. To fix the problem I need to change that strange number of Rise to regular number - say 180 - then change other parameters and then its possible to save. Just need to adjust the height of stairs afterwards Thank You! [image: LPP5_Adnotacja2020-03-20152406.jpg]

@bsfranza said: with sketchup 2020 we now have isolate which is pretty cool... and toggle visible active (whatever thats for - i have not found out what this is intended for so far) ... Those are not native commands that are new to SU2020. They come from an extension that you installed. @bsfranza said: make it possible to unhide all recursively except for softend edges ... So you want to unhide everything including hidden edges or faces? What if there are intentionally hidden edges and faces that need to remain hidden?

Hi, I haven't SU2020 yet, but it works with my SU2019, apparently just a matter of loading policy, as TIG said.

Another solution https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/8b28b2cd-39a3-4955-9d3a-d0db6f5e1397/CORRUGATED-GREEN-TUBE-ROLL-FOR-CABLE-PASSAGE-32-mm

Take a look to TGI3D Amorph (free) or use an old version of Sketchup! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dodRTudzEJw

so do i.

A quick tip on the settings I used for the poly reducer. It told me there were around 14000 faces and I set the target at 6000, it came in at high 5000s.

@cmeed said: So I was wondering if 'the plugin store' could disable plugins as a default but keep the plugin icons arranged as they are - this speeds up load time - but when you click on the icon for your chosen plugin that plugin then loads there and then - a small wait there and then? This is beyond the control of the Sketchucation Extension Store. If you see the icon (and menus), then it means a piece of the plugin is loaded, because only the plugin knows about the icons and menu. What you describe should thus be designed by the plugin author. I do that for most of my plugins and for LibFredo6 too. There is a two-step loading (also called lazy loading). At Sketchup startup, the minimum of code is loaded to show the icons and menus. Then, the first time you use the plugin, the rest of the code is loaded, which is usually fast and imperceptible. By the way, if you have some of my plugins loaded, could you go to Window > LibFredo6 Settings...> Performance and post a snapshot of the dialog box showing the load times.

Do you have the latest version of LibFredo6 installed?
