    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

    Aha- well, I still don't understand how the licensing works...but restarting SketchUp made the latest toolbar available. And it appears there is NO 2D LINE STYLE tool! I used this a lot to make dashed and centerlines with thickness and color- out of groups of single lines.. Is this part of the extension gone???

    Thank you Rich! Fantastic idea. This worked perfectly : ) I had another tip come in to try the extrude edges by vector to object tool. Transfer the edge to a surface, draw the chamfer curve and transfer back to the object. Loft the surface. A combination of this method as well as yours got me through this task. I appreciate your guidance. Thnx again

All of the ones in your screenshot appear to have them. Thank you. I presented the extension window of one of machines. On which all icons has been visible. Not the other one. TIG's suggestion has solves the isdue.

    I just tested it in SketchUp 2023 and it works for me. Give more details about what you are working with. Share the model file so we can see what you have set up.

    @fredo6 said: @yabupushelberg said: It's a Fredo 6 plugin. The my-licenses page does not allow us to release the seats. We are able to 'release' directly from the system as long as it's online. We have 30 licenses and some computers are not running anymore so we can manually release them directly from the plugin. How do we release them from the my-licenses section? Could you go to your My License page on Sketchucation and see if you can release the seats remotely. I have a similar situation. After purchasing the Fredo 8 plugins, I downloaded the first licenses. Then I had to format the computer. I did not cancel the licenses before formatting. Then I reinstalled the system and downloaded the license again. I seem to be using two of my three rights in total. I just canceled my licenses and it seems like I still have a license that is being used even though I haven't used it. Cancel tick box does not appear. Can you help me how can we fix this situation?

    What is it you're doing when SketchUp crashes? FWIW, when I model for 3D printing I set Units to Meters and model as if millimeters are meters. This allows me to model fine details and to create smoother curves. The slicer I use imports .stl files as millimeters but I export the .stl with model units (meters). For examples see my thread on 3D printed screw threads in the 3D Printing forum category. Keep in mind that adding a mesh from a an image like the brick texture I used adds tons of geometry. This can slow SketchUp quite dramatically depending on your computer's CPU and GPU. You might get frequent messages of "Not Responding" which normally isn't a crash. Just that SketchUp is busy and won't respond to further inputs from you until it is done. It might be that you'll need to break your model up into smaller sections and assemble the printed modules when they are complete.

    You should try contacting the author to see if he has saved and will share an earlier version of TT_Lib. What happens when SketchUp 8 crashes? Does it give a Bug Splat?

    Yes, hit ESC to clear VCB. But it is different to 2022 behaviour as using CTRL + =/- used to step up/down the VCB value. Now it puts -=-=-=-=-=-- in there in case you want practice morse code while you model.

    Lightup has a Light Insolation analysis option. Not heat transfer though. [image: zx56vXW.png] There is an open source tool called OpenFOAM. But its not integrated with SketchUp so you need to tweak stl files. I tried a few years ago but I went nowhere with it. Any info I got on it was either based on the examples files it comes with or data from some other package. To be honest I couldn't even get it to read .stl files exported from SketchUp.
