I need it to stay flat.

Try Eneroth Upright Extruder from the Extension Warehouse.

Do you have nested groups?

@TIG

I did the usual repair, tried initialy numerous times to install the 'bundle', each time it was reported that the install went well TT library had to be completed seperately but this was NOT an issue.

The copy and paste method worked.

Odd, I know.

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a hotel project in which I want to develop anamorphic views based on images and models/objects.
For the objects, I don't have any complexities, so it's up to me to divide them up into multi-objects and position them to create an illusion effect as far as the real thing, depending on the angle of view.
On the basis of images, importing them in projected form works but is nevertheless complex and sometimes difficult to implement.
I haven't been able to find a plugin that allows anamorphic projection of an image onto surfaces depending on the viewing angle, am I wrong?
Would there be a solution for simply making these projections, a bit like what blender offers?

Help would be greatly appreciated and ideally the development of a dedicated plugin for even more solutions with Sketchup.
Thanks in advance

You can taper a curved cylinder by using selective edge welding.

Hi everyone,
it took several years, but I figured it out!
It's one of the most hidden features in SketchUp.
If you want to export an image, draw on it with crayons or edit it in Photoshop ...or AI and then map it back, you must activate a scene with a saved camera and then click to create a new photomerge -> the vanishing points will be set according to the last scene. Then you can select the edited visualization and project it precisely onto the model as a texture. Amazing, right?
It never works otherwise if a saved camera isn't activated first.

The second hidden trick is equally clever. Did you think that exporting 2D DWG with edges colored by layers only works through layout? Miracle, it works in the sketchup too. Just set edges color by material and have Color by Tag activated in layers/tags, then create a Scene with saved Styles (+update the scene to save the style), keep the scene active and export 2D DWG. Aaand is colored. If the style isn't saved in the active scene, it won't work.

@Box said in Faces Splitting Up at random:

Go View/Hidden geometry. This should show you where your faces are split.

I am using sketchup for years. This was the greatest tip that I've ever seen. It eased all my pain that I've experienced through out the tough years passed struggling with random triangles.

@Lozza944 did you do what the message tells you to do?

@Rich-O-Brien Thank you for clarifying!

@dmorong The Add Location feature is not included with the EDU license (SketchUp Studio for Non-Profits) the school has. It requires a full subscription (Pro or Studio but not for Non-Profits.)

Contact Creation Engine for more information on this.

There is something in the way that prevents pushpull from going inward. Try selecting the face and using move instead.

@Dave-R I've tried to unsoften the edges to 0 degrees but the problem is still there.

The drawing will be sent to a machinist, If I can figure out a way to unsoften the edges, then I will add measurements and send it to him.

@mcann if those are spot heights you will need to get them into sketchup as construction points.

Then use a cpoint to mesh extension to generate a surface.

But I'm not fully understanding your message.

Go to the In Model Colors and select the material to edit it. (Click on the house icon.) You can't directly edit materials that are in the material libraries. You can only edit the In Model materials.
