Thank you. Basic error on my part 🫤

I would set up an edge-on scene and then, in LayOut, place the dimension between the bottom and the apex of the curve. [image: 1745538941837-screenshot-4_24_2025-6_54_15-pm.png]

@deanbuckeridge said in Animation rendering speed: It's the current Pro version. You might see what changing the graphics engine dos. Some folks have seen an improvement in performance by doing that.

@tf3 said in SketchUp thumbnail not showing up on Mac: @TIG Solved with last update 2025-0-574-244. not working anymore ...

@panixia that's fine. I was simply demonstrating what it would take for the OP to use the texture image they shared.

@MrMitc hello, pls can you modify this to include groups. i want to make an exploded animation of my model. thanks

@Mike-Amos said in Texture Production (question): Having a quick look, Materialize seems to be free, open source. Worthy of a look at least. https://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/tutorials.php Thanks Mike

I completely missed this thread. Glad you gave the extension a try. Here's also an update: I recently published version 3.0 which can now be used also with other services like Google (tested), Anthropic, DeepSeek (untested). As a result, I also renamed the extension. Give it a try... https://alexschreyer.net/projects/openai-explorer-experimental/

Hi everyone, I came across this thread while looking for discussions about generating threads in SketchUp. I know it's an old topic, but since it still gets a lot of views, I thought it might be useful to share a solution I've developed. [image: 1741950723105-cover.jpg] I’ve created a SketchUp plugin that automates the creation of threaded parts (bolts, nuts, internal threads, etc.). What makes it different is that it generates threads from a custom tooth profile, making it compatible with any type of thread, including multi-start threads. Key Features: Generate threaded rods, nuts, and internal threads in just a few clicks Works with any thread profile – metric, imperial, trapezoidal, custom, etc. Supports multi-start threads Here’s a demo video showcasing how it works: https://youtu.be/Fkf5j-hS8sU?si=-xgwl_lkRdeAQph9 (The video is in French, but you can turn on YouTube subtitles and auto-translation.) The plugin is available here: For the US users: https://fabcnc.gumroad.com/l/threads-filetages For the EU users: https://payhip.com/b/3j7ZF If anyone here still needs an easy way to create threads in SketchUp, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, the intersecting point should be a sharp point, but the beginning should be an arc. I tried a few solutions but didn't end up with a good result.

@roximate maybe just move it to the bin and download a new one from scratch?

SketchUp by nature is destructive when it comes to geometric changes. It's only course correction is the undo stack. To get around this my preferred method is to have a series timestamped files that constitute as snapshots. So rollback is easier. If I'm working in a modular fashion I use saved components. As an example I have a 00-master.skp with all the components. These components are also saved a separate files in a working directory next to the master. If I work on a component file I can reload changes in the master. My main objective to keep the master file as the target file and everything else piped to it. Not sure it that helps in regards your workflow. My approach has been to treat the master file as assembly point of the work I do in other files. If I do make minor changes in the master I save that back to the components working directory as either an overwrite or as a new timestamped version.

I have been told that the classic graphics engine works better too on a pc. Open GL Versus direct X, what to make of this I do not know but it's a pain in the petunia's.

@alexpacio2013 said in Discussion - object is not a manifold solid !?: I guarantee you that Bool tools 2 works and works better than the standard tools even among solids You're preaching to the choir on that point. I don't use nor even recommend the native Solid Tools. I guess I have no problem, even for complex objects, with making them solids so I get predictable results when using Bool Tools 2 or Eneroth Solid Tools.
