    @hannaconner said in Sketchup 2017 suddenly closes: I use SU 2017 as a subscription doesn't make sense You're right. That doesn't make sense since SketchUp 2017 was never available as a subscription. What kind of license do you really have? @hannaconner said in Sketchup 2017 suddenly closes: Anytime I try to do a cut and paste or other action that increases or adds to it, it suddenly crashes. What operating system are you using? What are the specs on your computer? What is the graphics card? Most likely you have exceeded your computer's capability. It's also possible that you have a bad object (component or group) in the model. You might try purging and otherwise cleaning up the model before trying to add more to it. You could share the file with us so we can see if it can be fixed. Upload it to DropBox or We Transfer and share the link.

    Hey guys I am desperate for very high resolution/quality satellite maps, I use Placemaker and I also use Nearmap but the resolution is not that great, I have tried using AI to upscale but that too does not really solve my issues. Is there another solution?

    Did you look at the video on it's ExtensionStore page? https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1103-extrudetools I still don't have time to do a video on the entire process but maybe this will help. I copied out the needed edges from the L I already made for this. Note that the straigh edges at the ends need to be divided into multiple segments and welded to make them curves. Two segments is enough, though. Going through the options I chose to no delete the original curves. Since the entire letter gets done in stages, you can't delete all of the edges after an extrusion because you'll need them for the neighboring steps. [image: 1751719413407-eebyr.gif]

  • How to extrude multiple face groups at once?

    What seems at face value a rather basic operation is actually a lot more complex potentially. Rather than trying to executing a mass extrusion process do a sample extrusion to see what kind of geometry is output. A planar n-gon with 6 entities will result in 22 entities when extruded. Imagine if those 740 groups have ~100 entities each then you are asking Sketchup to create ~300k entities. SketchUp then has to consider other things like its inbuilt tolerance, are there curves etc.... This is not a simple as a simple extrusion if the geometry you are extruding is not efficient.

    I had been a member at FormFonts since 2006. I was sad to see it go but I understand the move. I prefer CG Trader over Turbosquid these days. The pricing seems so much more reasonable. Do you model the people from scratch or are you using something like DAZ to start the basic model? Best of luck on this next chapter Alan!

    What are you trying to do ?? Please read the full guidance notes. Simple checklist... You need a model with a PNG image installed, which has some transparent pixels which get deleted. It also needs the the other solid pixels to have no transparency at all. You need the SKMtools installed to give you ImagerTrimmer. ImageTrimmer uses some java applets [.JAR files] to do image manipulation. You need JAVA installing to use them. Some people get problems because the compression-app is set to open them. Also [as it appears in your case] you CANNOT have the .jar file-type extension associated with any other program. Perhaps in your case looks like it's been given over to something like WinRar. When you install some compression/decompression programs the default set of file-types which they are set up to open often includes .jar - which is actually a re-suffixed ZIP file - just like a SKM, Style or Layout file. To stop this happening, open WinRar's preferences and un-check [unassociate] that .jar file-type, save changes and close WinRar. Now retest ImageTrimmer in SketchUp and see if the .jar applets execute properly [rather than open]... If you set the JAR files to open in SketchUp it will not work - so delete that option.

Nevertheless I increased the mesh at maximum and now it s veeeeryyyy close, so yes, I m pleased with the result. For users like me...PLEASE LOOK IN ALL THE PARAMETERS and change the grid to where you consider it is sufficient. Again, thank you for your genius addons, I use them a lot, sketchup would be a pain without them.

    I would set up an edge-on scene and then, in LayOut, place the dimension between the bottom and the apex of the curve. [image: 1745538941837-screenshot-4_24_2025-6_54_15-pm.png]

    I completely missed this thread. Glad you gave the extension a try. Here's also an update: I recently published version 3.0 which can now be used also with other services like Google (tested), Anthropic, DeepSeek (untested). As a result, I also renamed the extension. Give it a try... https://alexschreyer.net/projects/openai-explorer-experimental/
