@roland joseph said: OK...that's what I had in mind although in my local area we don't have the breaks. I don't know what the concrete recipe is but they don't need the crack protection which I guess the breaks are for. We have long continues ribbons. Your method is sound and looks good. If you go to CGTextures > Roads > Various, there are two photos of curbs that are not even concrete, but stone blocks. By the names of the authors, one is from a portuguese speaking country and the other from an english speaking country. When having stone blocks as curbs, it´s even more paramount the necessity to use textures with "separation" between the blocks... Thank you and Frederik for the awesome asphalt textures. I want to make one here with several different layers (so it must be used with a render engine that support materials with different layers) for a more "damaged" kinda of asphalt, and will share with you guys.

Didier Bur has Line2tubes (Just put Precision = 4 for quadrangle, Precision = 6 for have Hexagons etc... But you have to keep the path somewhere! Else it's absolutely easy if you have made your structure with components! Just change the component! Component Replacer by Thomthom! [image: j3u9_replace.gif]

I don't think trialing a software for commercial purposes should be out of agreement. What it might be is dangerous if you can't find time to finish the project within trialing period. You should read the agreement though...

Thanks a lot

Do you have any other pictures of it? Any larger images? Dimensions? I'd probably use Curviloft or TIG's Extrusion Extension to create the shape. I'd set out the curves at normal size, make a component of it and then develop the surfaces on a scaled up copy. You could actually get away with using Follow Me on it, too.

Thanks Tig, Well not sure what I have done but I have profile builder 2 (PB2) working again with Skup operating as normal. What did I do... well not sure really, however when I reinstalled Skup on Windows 8.1 some weeks ago now, I think I must has install PB2 from a different Extension Warehouse account and then I transferred my assemblies across to the library folded within PB2. I thought I was working with the paid version but was not and yes it did screw things up within Skup when PB2 expired. I found a old email from the extension warehouse advising not to store assembles within the aforementioned folder which I was.( not sure if that relevant to my issue) I deleted the .rb and BP2 folder, ( well moved it out of the way somewhere else) logged onto the other warehouse account, the one I purchased it from and installed it and all looks to be ok ( I had to reset all tool bars for this process). I have moved my assembles else where as instructed. so I think everything is working again. It was strange how it screwed up Skup though. Thanks again Dr Tig.

These are all great suggestions, none of which I've tried. I'm a self-taught Sketchup user, so I don't know many of the tricks. I will give these a shot! In addition to this, is there any hardware upgrades I can do to help speed things up? Is a 285 MB drawing pushing the boundaries of what Sketchup is capable of? Thanks for your insight!

@lolo17 said: Hello i am using sketchup make, i create some scènes but nothing happens when i click on the différents scene it show always the last scene . do you have an idea on what i miss to do? I can think of a couple of possibilities: When you created your new scene, did you click on the Update scene button? When you added the new scene and moved the camera, if you do not click the Update Scene button, it will revert back to the original scene settings when you navigate from scene to scene What are you clicking to navigate the scenes? If you click on the scene tab, it should animate from one scene to the next (again assuming you clicked the Update Scene button when you created the scene). If you click on the scene name in the Scene dropdown list, you will continue to see the last scene because you are really not going to that scene you are only navigating through the scene list. Hope this helps you.

did you have installed the latest SUP v8 M5 version? did you have the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 required by SU v8 installed? Systems Requirements of SU v8 did not covered Win 8+.

SU uses an older UVQ mapping method that isn't really the norm these days.

Take a look at a couple of the last entries in this recent sketchucation post showing renders with the new denoising and enhanced materials for 1.3 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80%26amp;t=57758%26amp;start=60#p566928

2D exports only the ProfileEdges and SectionCutEdges. I was hoping that there was a way to export the original layers.

select all, right click, interact with all, should do the trick

Just a pinky, blue, yellow lights somewhere in the space! The little yellow jacket part! (here green) It's Vermeer!

I just now looked at it on my Mac with SU2015. The last set font choice is retained for each activation of the 3D Text tool and it is even retained when SU is closed/quit and restarted. It appears that an answer was found sometime between 2011 and the release of SU2015. I don't know in which version it changed. What version of SketchUp are you using? It would be helpful if you completed your profile.

I will check this! Many thanks!

@ely862me said: Funny thing, Box's advice didn't work for me but what I said worked ! Mainly I think it is about glued or not. That must be because of cutting edge's plan VS insertion points VS axis VS face to glue on. EDIT: Sometimes the components are just slightly off face. In these cases they might still glue to face and cut opening but Sketchup will start asking if you want to fix the model. It says it fixes but it doesn't and keeps going on like this... Everything will work ok but section cut faces won't be perfect... You can just ignore warnings in model info.

Thanks for sharing. Some interesting tips included in the article.
