@box said: I was quite grumpy earlier. Here is a very quick example of how a shape can be bent using Radial Bending. [image: 4rPtyCX.gif] That's wonderful! I had FredoScale installed a year ago when I bought the Fredo6 Collection bundle. However, I haven't used this plugin a lot, and because of you, now I know that there are more possibilities with this plugin. THANK YOUUUU!!!

@mill3rluke said: iv have now learned to keep the models small so i have no problem with using the model myself. That's good. @mill3rluke said: When im on teams the other end say the model just freezes and then catches up its just very slow. but its not slow my end? I think that's going to be your connection or Teams, not SketchUp. Are you initiating the meeting? I used to run into sluggishness with GoToMeeting if I initiate the meeting but make someone else the presenter so they can share their screen. @mill3rluke said: Very annoying as i can bring alot of people together over teams and the models help all with my projects with decision making etc. Understood. You might look at some other option for screensharing.

@ntxdave said: Very interesting. I looked at their web site. Can you tell me what QueryTool is? It's a tool that places lights and sets shader properties for materials in your model. In this case, you Alt Left click on a face with a material applied and tell LightUp to generate grass at render time.

Thank you

@letssee said: Dave, had layout created over multiple years, thus must have been available longer than 30d. Yes. LayOut has been available for longer than 30 days. The first version was released in 2008. Sometime shortly after Google purchased SketchUp in March of 2006 they changed the trial period from 8 hours to 30 days and in January 2007 began offering a free version of SketchUp. That free version started with a 30-day trial of pro with all of the available features of SketchUp Pro. When LayOut was introduced it was included as part of the Pro trial and that continued up until the point at which they stop offering SketchUp 2017 Make about two years ago. @letssee said: Many years ago replaced computer, then problems occured (not only with sketchup). What problem? In any case, if you installed SketchUp Make on a new computer you would have started with another 30-day trial period of Pro and thus you would have had access to LayOut during that time. @letssee said: Doesn't matter, ultimately I will buy the new "commercial licence" despite not being commercially using it. That's fine. The subscription will give you SketchUp Pro, LayOut, SketchUp Go (web-based), SketchUp for iPad and a bunch of other options. @letssee said: I was of course hoping that one day a trimble staff reads this hence why my words have deeper meaning (still hope and expect them to do that). Here is the best place to be if they want to make new generations loyal and sell more. Someone from the SketchUp team will likely see this thread. I expect at this point the bean counters and marketing people have run the numbers enough to have a good idea of what will actually work to pay the bills and keep the shareholders happy.

Thats a good idea. Never really thought of a portfolio. ALthough the work I do at work I probably couldnt use as its for an employer. I suppose it gives me a good excuse to do some design stuff for myself to get some models.

Hi, Thanks all, I will use tags instead of hiding faces now. Best regards,

In what folder Are these extensions installed? Did you install the extensions correctly? What is display scaling set to?

Hi, Each time I had to export SU components to FS, I exploded them. Did you try that ?

It's working fine for me. Maybe try clearing caches and reboot your computer. Then try again.

I assume that's it's because of PayPal being officially blocked... Do you have the possibility of using a VPN app on your computer to sidestep this and allow PayPal access ?

Thank you, 2021, I will give it a try!

Thanks as usual Box I scaled it up by a factor of 10, worked like a charm
