Look in Finder. It should be able to show you the last saved date/time for the file.

Your 'render-mode' is set to show color-only - so any textures do not show up. Look in your top tool-buttons and click the 'textured' one...

Splines Beziers gives the maximum smooth surfaces for a less number of points! I have many Right Clicks on a curve on Contextual write BZ - ... for convert etc... I suppose that in Fredo Bezier Splines or in Fredo SPline or in Fredo Tools in any case load all that! Advantage of Extrude Tools by Tig is the facility! And you can keep curves for next neighbour patch! You can also look some modelings of Jo-ke! He had modelize objects like your! And don't forget to inspect your curves by the Fredo Tools (Lonely vertices)

Stay away from Autodesk objects that are 'surfaces'. I cannot break these down - no matter what.

Clipping plane extension does not resolve the problem, (bought it) which has actually become a problem just recently with the 2020 SKP update. I mean, yes this has always been in SKP, but recently it's absolutely impossible to work, I have no idea what has happened.... Could it be anyhow problems with personal templates or file settings...? I have noticed that some files work better when I copy and paste them into the older templates I used before. p.s. it's clear for me that itis something in the SKP templates I used. Since I have restored some older ones and use them, it's +/- "fine" again.... but still very disturbing..

@tig said: Did you try it ? Did it help ? Hullo again, I am not certain but just now I have discovered that Fredo6 Scale Launcher (icon clicked) does nothing. The tools/functions are accessible via the menu. All other Fredo6 Lunchers work fine. Once clicking the toolbars open. I think it is related to the changes I have made in registry following the recommendations here. PS 1 Alas it seems that this is not the culprit. I have removed the registry entries ninth no impact - still no Fredo6 Scale Luncher. PS 2 I have just checked another computer with SU 20.0.373 version. Fredo6 Scale Launcher works fine there. Would it be Su update to the latest 20.1 version the source of the dysfunctionality?

@joe wood said: Yeah I have 8 gigs ram, I don't know why they installed the 32 bit win 10. All my programs seem to work fine esp SUp. I'd take it back and have them redo it with the 64 bit but need my computer these days, can't wait a week to get it back. So is that why exports are so slow Juju? that could very likely be yes, even more so depending on how many apps / tasks the OS has running simultaneously good thing you're still running SU2015 as from SU2017 it was 64-bit only IIRC

That View> large icons fix didn't stick, so I asked on the MS support forum The tutorial below can help show you how to set a default folder template for all folders, change the layout to large icons for how you want, and then apply to all folders. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/35192-set-default-folder-view-all-folders-windows-10-a.html

"So I see they aren't "stored" in the file." Actually the textures are stored in the file. That's how you can send someone else the file and they can see the textures or pry them out of the file. Did the wine bottles come from the 3D Warehouse?

It worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!

Perfect, just ask him. And note that similar does not mean identical. cordially Zooen

Exactly, and it looks like one of Monty Python sketches. The onlyplace this 3 line menu can happen is empty area, and the onlything you can 'select inverse' in empty area is 'Select All'. Now 2 questions arise: Why just don't call things by their names? And generally, why 'select all' is so essential in empty area?

Since this thread was written things have changed. In the Window menu you will fine Extension Warehouse and Extension Manager. If you are wanting to install extensions you've downloaded directly, go to Window>Extension Manager. At the bottom you will find Install Extension.

Copying the project into a new one help a lot, thanks.

@joe wood said: Pretty neat little pad Baz, did you laminate those two handrails to get the curve in them? Yes and the rafters.

Thanks is for the reply. I tried doing that but the closed geometry wont follow the contour of the bend.

Not really topic specific but the latest Xfrog related post I could find so thought I'd touch base with this one. I've just started using Xfrog to make some custom trees. But, I'm having issues exporting them as .obj format to import into S.U. (Pro 2019). Some of my models import with the tiff textures OK, but others don't. On some, the image textures (tiffs) don't import, but get swapped out for default Xfrog textures (colors only), and on others, they come in as one sided only, which is not very useful, esp. on the leaf textures, as there are a lot of those to fix and the normal directions are all over the shop. I've also tried importing into Blender & same issue seem to occur. I'm not sure if it's the way the trees are structured in the Hierarchy and if some Xfrog components cause issues with exporting or not. Because I've had some import into S.U. OK, I'm pretty sure it must have something to do with how there made in Xfrog. I'm trying to work it out by trial & error but hoping someone else can shed some light on the topic. I haven't had much luck finding support resources for Xfrog, esp. in re: to S.U., so hoping this forum might be some help. And if anyone has any other tips on using Xfrog that they wish to share, that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

You can use Split Tools by TIG [image: CSqH_GIF_split_tools.gif]

Thank you, Box. That sounds like a great plan. I appreciate the help!

Yes, je pense que c'est une histoire de logiciel, de ce que j'ai lu les animations plus poussées graphiquement se font avec 3DS Max, Rhino, Revit etc...
