Evermotion models usually come in the following formats: MAX C4D OBJ FBX, with several flavors of Max files, not just for Vray (scanline, mental ray, etc) and you only download the ones you want when you want. I would go ahead and buy the Evermotion set, then download a demos of the Simlab importer plugins for sketchup - obj importer, fbx, etc. and see which ones works best for your workflow. The $100 or so for the Simlab plugins are definitely worth it if you plan to use often and want to build a library of skp objects from high quality Max models. They are fast and do a good job if you use them correctly. Again, install demos of various Simlab importers for Sketchup, then try importing different file formats to Sketchup to see which works best for you. (if you don't want to purchase Evermotion set yet, then you can try downloading free assets of various formats.) Also, the general work-around for doing 'real' 3D work without having a 3DS Max license is using Blender. There will be a slight learning curve, but you can open files, layout UVs and export to different formats.

@whitelock said: (i have had podium for years and always just take it with me from one sketchup version to another) Maybe this is your problem. That's generally not a good thing to do because there are often changes made between SketchUp versions that require extensions to be updated. It is best to install all extensions fresh from the source when upgrading to a new SketchUp version. At least try that and see if it helps.

Hi As Dave said, I cleaned (redid) the geometry first (using the axes for the circles or arcs), then clarified the dimension of the inner arc to adjust the texture size exactly to this dimension, assuming that's your intention (?). In addition, I separated the outer concrete shell from the inner (to become painted) surface to get easier access to this face. For texturing I used Fredo6´s ThruPaint plugin then. To make this entire procedure much easier, this can happen at a short section instead of the whole length of the tunnel [image: zzSF_TunnelTestHX.jpg] Tunnel Test HX.skp

@slbaumgartner said: @sketch3d.de said: Installing SU v2017 again should fix this behaviour anyhow. Although that should work, you really shouldn't need to do an reinstall, just to fix up the "file association". See, for example https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-change-file-associations-in-windows-2624477 It works only in theory. In practice, Windows always opens with the latest exe. @Liam: you should download appropriate file version (<= 2017). then right click on file icon and choose open with Sketchup 2017. Alternatively, if you are not buying v2018, just uninstall it.

Yes! I thought that I checked it, but I probably looked from too far away so that the dotted blue line over the sand texture looked like solid... Now when checking afterwards the dotted line really looks quite solid over sand. Thanks!

An update for anyone wanting to create a ’Catalogue’ of skp thumbnails using Mootools 3d Browser. It may not be the best process but it works just great for my requirements. Open directory of thumbnails in Mootools Print to OneNote Save resulting Print file as a PDF Thanks to JuJu for reminding me that I have Mootools.

One possibility is that if you are "looking through" the hole as you push-pull, the tool naturally stops at the opposite face because there is no other inference in that direction based on the cursor's location. This doesn't happen when you are viewing more from the side so that the tool can find a meaningful distance to extrude based on the cursor position. [image: mDp5_pushpull.gif]

Taking another look, there is a deeper issue in addition to the Gatekeeper quarantine: the extension's code is attempting to load a Ruby 2.0.0 library from the Frameworks distributed with SketchUp, but SketchUp 2018 does not contain such a library, it has Ruby 2.2.0. So even if you figure out the quarantine thing, this extension isn't going to work under SU 2018!

The easiest way I found was by using the DIBAC plugin, it recognizes the cut face according to the texture selected for the GROUP, regardless of the colors of the faces. [image: qmtp_Untitled-1.jpg]

@unknownuser said: ...and always install as Admin. So you always right click on the installer exe and choose Run as administrator? It's important to note that doing that is different from just logging in with administrator privileges. @unknownuser said: Never value the Teeths of a horse givin to you for free! We have that, too. It's generally worded as, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth."

@pbacot said: .... Otherwise I just use it as a background reference and delete the import after getting the info from it. Pretty much the best way imho.

Did you purchase through a reseller? If so, you should contact them and see if they can provide help. Otherwise open a ticket with SketchUp Support and see if they can help. Be patient, though. They won't be into the office for a few hours. FWIW, the only correct way to install SketchUp on Windows machines is to right click and choose Run as administrator. It's not enough to have admin privileges and being logged in as administrator does not replace using Run as administrator.

Ok thanks. I have updated everything and I still get the bugsplat every time I try and use(still on 2017). Perhaps it is related to another plugin I have installed. I will try to disable them all and see if it makes any diiference

never mind got it figured out... thanks again

What would it take to pull that code out? All I really need to do is lay all of the components flat with the origin point being at Z0 and the Z (blue) axis facing up... In to put more simply a script that would align each components axis up with the SketchUp world axis, and lay them all out in a line along the X axis.

Probably a dynamic component could do it.

Looks like you are not getting the edges or not all of them. are the house walls set right on top of the grass? (You really should have floor or foundation at that level) If the house or other cutting element is just sitting on the grass but not not sunk into the grass surface, SU does not properly perform "intersect faces". Hiding the house so you can inspect the grass would help.

@drw12333 said: Are all 3D Warehouse items going to be "2018" only. All that I've tried will not open in 2017. No. How have you tried opening them? If you get them directly in SketchUp, they will open with the version you are using as long as it is 2014 or higher. If you are downloading them directly through your browser, you'll have to choose the version you want. [image: 6Bpt_Screenshot-1_8_20184_26_18AM.png]

Hi, We are trying to implement a mobile web-app as a part of which there is a photo upload function which has to interact with both the file manager on the mobile device as well as its camera. Dow we have any options in this regard on prime mobile api. Thanks,

Thanks for the help and start searching
