A little late , but I've recently been experimenting with post-processing sketchup output for a screentoned comic strip effect, and it's definitely possible to convert sketchup shading into hatched shading in photoshop or GIMP. If you separately export hidden line shading with edges of your choice and monochrome shading with no edges Put the hidden line shading on a layer in your image editor of choice, then put a hatched texture on a layer above it. Now use the monochrome shading (inverted) as a mask for the hatched texture. Play with the levels on the mask to change how dark an area has to be to get shading. Et Voila! Quick and dirty, but I did a sphere with two layers of hatching, one for only the darker areas by levelling its mask accordingly [image: BovM2lC.jpg] And here's a spaceship that I used this method to screentone (starting with a few more outputs - sun shading, flat colour, etc): [image: z7FkZtH.jpg]

Thank you TIG !

with SketchUp Pro 2018 a workaround for testing purposes is available. In connection with a SketchUp Pro 2018 default program installation issue the following command at the Windows 10 command line ("Windows Search: CMD"): "C;\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\jsonpatcheditor.exe" Preferences WorkaroundDrawXorRectUseGLFlushNotFlushDraw b true If installed to a different program directory adjust the path accordingly. Close SU before patching resp. restart for taking the setting into effect. For removing the setting use: "C;\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\jsonpatcheditor.exe" Preferences WorkaroundDrawXorRectUseGLFlushNotFlushDraw r Reference (see section "Miscellaneous")

That makes sense. I started in v5 and that was 2005

or, without any plugin, you can create the rectangle, group the upper face (select it from top left hand corner while beeing in parallel side view, just like srx's gif), select all then "instersect with selection", select all again and double click on the surface you want to keep holding shift and press delete. (you can then explode the group - optional) not that long even if it seems so ! and beware, some of your small circles appear not to be at the same height than the others

Regarding Dave's comment. I wonder if using selection tools will identify identical groups and allow you to make them into instances of the same component.

simlab composer lite .... awesome

@bep said: @unknownuser said: @patrickbateman said: Is it possible to do this for a selection and not the entire model? yeah.. group the selection then preform the scaling while inside the group. DUH Bep DUH No.2

@rv1974 said: because it's logical to refine one fragment (with intersected element) make it a component and only then array it X600, isn't it? You are probably correct, but it did finally work. I will keep that advice in mind for next time, however! Thanks Chris

How to fixed. Close SketchUp Application. Press Win+R to open run dialog. Type “%localappdata%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\SketchUp” and press enter. Open file “PrivatePreferences.json” with notepad or text editor applications. 5.Scorll down to find like this below. Example: “RubyWorkspace\ToolbarsUser-Bar0”: { “BarID”: 59648 "BarName": “Artisan” }, Remember number of “BarID” and Scorll up to find like this below. Example from Step 4 "RubyWorkspace\RubyToolbar-59648" { “Columns”: 0, <== Number of columns (0 = Default, 1 = Fix to 1 Columns, 2 = Fix to 2 Columns, etc.) “DockBarId”: 0, <== Change Number 0 to 59419 "Visible": 0 <== Change Number 0 to 1 (0 = false, 1 = true) }, 7.Save 8.Open SketchUp 9.Move Toolbar to Docking any Position PS: Sorry for my english language Note: Tonight I will uploade video how to fixed it on my youtube channel (TONYWINStheCHANNEL) with thai language.

@jarhead said: So... none of the suggestions above worked for me, neither having a fresh install of SketchUp 8... So I determined that it must be something in the model itself. A clean new project doesn't have the bug, only some files that I work on from the get go. After cutting and pasting the elements of the file I was having an issue with, into a new SketchUp project, the issue isn't there anymore. I have Layers Panel & Layer Manager, and they don't seem to be the problem (evident by the fact that the issue persisted with a clean SketchUp install Sometimes people create models that have some corrupting issue. Copying the geometry to a new file sometimes helps. On the other hand, if you're still using SketchUp 8, that might be a clue, too.

@calypsoart said: Yep. Don't know how I missed that. I was certain I had slide it up. Is your screen upside down? I prefer to use the RGB sliders so I forgot to look at the slider in your image.

If you want to change to another material in the model - then use a plugin... Although it'd be relatively straightforward to make a longer one-liner to do that 'by-name'...

Yes. That's what others have reported, too. I guess it would be a good idea to check that after Windows updates.

That sure is "interesting"!! Glad I asked. Thanks slbaumgartner

If you are used to the SketchUcation Toolset, and prefer that, then you can use it instead of the native installer... Its submenu includes "SketchUcation Archive Installer..." which does what the native installer does... It works for RBZ archives - and additionally for even ZIP files, although these are now a lot less common these days - most things now come as RBZ format...

in any sketchup version, select the underside of the wall, reverse this face, paint with a pattern, reverse face back, when cut it will show the pattern

Here is...

They don't have to be in C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\SketchUp but assets should be stored locally. Did you add the component folders you have to your Favorites in the Components window?
