Your export option from SketchUp was? I find .DAE works best or this addon. But its hit or miss depending on the skp file format version. https://github.com/RedHaloStudio/Sketchup_Importer But Blender's dae importer is very good.

You can try signing out and then back in again before you leave the office. The idea being it shouldn't need to check again for 28 days. However this is not always guaranteed to work. Sometimes it just needs to do it continuously. While on site if you have access to a wifi network or can connect your laptop using your phone you should be able to sign in and be good to go, until it decides otherwise. I hate this system with a passion. My wireless connection is cellular and can be somewhat flaky and the number of times I have had to sign out and back in while actually in the middle of work is very aggravating. Just opening a second instance of SU can be enough for it to decide I'm not signed in. If I was doing a lot of sitework these days I would probably keep a pre subscription copy on my laptop. Something that uses the older classic license, but even that I'm not so sure of.

Open Cut List is a free one What are you reporting? parts? hardware? whole building? cupboards?

Firstly your group is double wrapped, so explode it to remove one layer of grouping. Then the object has no bottom face, so open the group for editing and copy the top face down and reverse it. [image: ZjRX_GIF26-04-20236-03-46PM.gif]

@box said: And keep in mind that you should make some 'cuts' through the tree. In other words create gaps in the outer edge of the tree, break it into several 'trees' so that you don't have one continuous border edge that ends up with a huge number of segments. When I first looked at it the whole thing contained over 330,000 segments. It would be highly likely that the border edge would contain more than 10,000 and 10,000 is a finite limit. Sketchup will shutdown without a bugsplat if you attempt to manipulate a continuous edge of over 10,000. This was only an experiment. I found some images from "clean png" site and conerted it to a DXF using https://convertio.co/png-dxf/, I thought that particular png was extremely complex but now I will look for a less complex subject for my experiment. I think this method of converting a raster image into a DXF and then importing into SU has some promise though.

Profile updated. Currently using 2021 pro.

Get v4.3.1 Also the last saved state of the toolbar should be sustained across sessions, so if you switch i of it should stay off until you choose to have it back on...

Hi All, maybe not exactly what is asked here but because colour accuracy is the topic here and this question is professionally very important for me as well. As a rule, and only where colour accuracy is priority #1 which happens quite often with me: In these cases I never export a pixel image out of SkUp but always a PDF (with or without lines). I import this PDF into Adobe Illustrator (or any similar tool), automatically select the relevant fill colours and then, within Adobe Illustrator, convert them to the exactly calibrated colours of our own specific Adobe colour profile. If necessary, I also combine this (still rather dull) PDFs within Adobe Illustrator with an ambient occlusion or shadow rendering of my model which I overlay multiplying there. I hope this method helps...

Hi TIG, can you share your Ruby Code with me too? Many Thanks!

@nikopol said: It seems illogical to me that none of the plugins are able to select them with 100% accuracy. By chance, did you try FredoTools::AutoReverseFaces, which is part of FredoTools (and free).

@leggy said: Could you explain the solid tools a bit more They are part of SketchUp. There's already extensive help docs under the help menu on how to use them. It's a boolean subtract method. So select the cutter then the target and click Subtract. Go make a coffee, read the news and watch the clouds for a bit. When you come back it'll be done.

solved by reboot

I've been looking for it for years too. Its called Quadface tools.

Your model is not a manifold solid. Change the way you view it to help yourself. View > Hidden Geometry > On - you'll see lots of stuff that was hidden or smoothed. That doesn't improve solidity tests. View Mode > MonoChrome to remove confusion of a textured surface. There are several 'flaps' and edges with only one face - every edge must have exactly one face. Manually fix these errors and the object should then report as a Solid in Entity info. To help identify the problem geometry I suggest you use Thomthom's SolidInspector2... and then doing a manual fix by editing it. Using a Style with distinctive profiles and endpoints might help. Also Xray mode would let you see what's a problem 'internally'... My Solidsolver fails to mend it at all. Fixit101 fixes somethings but then leaves it not solid ! PS: Delete the unwanted 'Sumele' figure as that doesn't help anything...

Hi Tig, thanks for your great help got almost everything to work again. I can't see an equivalent for Xray mode... "Sketchup.send_action 10513" works just fine one command resists : Old cmd = UI::Command.new("Layers") { Sketchup.send_action 21354 } cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_lg.png" cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_sm.png" cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "Show Layers Palette" gp_cd_standard_tb.add_item(cmd) New cmd = UI::Command.new("Layers") { Sketchup.send_action 21032 } cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_lg.png" cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_sm.png" cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "Show Layers Palette" gp_cd_standard_tb.add_item(cmd) thanks again - Uli
