Problem solved, it was are in google+ account. Thanks

To reiterate the previous two posts... You could probably make that with far fewer facets without losing anything in the appearance. Your faulty object is probably quite small... There is a well know limitation in SketchUp... SketchUp cannot create very tiny faces. Its tolerance is ~1/1000th" - so if you have a small facet with one or more very short edges it will assume that the start and end points of the tiny edges are coincident and so it will not add the edge. Consequently the face[s] relying on each tiny unmade edge will not get created either. Scale up your object x100 [or more], perform the operation and there should now be no overly small edges, so the facets will be made as hoped. Scale down x0.01, the then tiny facets will be kept because although small edges cannot be made they can exist ! You need to be aware of the size limitation and scaling 'trick' when using several native operations - like FollowMe - and any Plugins which do operations which could give tiny geometry in their outputs. Humongous geometry can also have similar issues, but that is rarer

can you make your own animated models for lumion?

Also, tried running install a second time, selected "Repair", still no go. Dead in the water until Tech support replies to my request.

@box said: But I'm guessing from you elaborated description of your problem... Yes - it sure is very informative...

I've been a away for a few days... I also noted that the tree/plants etc were well CAD layered, so you could turn them off in the model to drape just the road lines etc... Glad it finally worked

Hi Emma, What is the scale of the texture you are painting?

I saw this comment by thomthom about another plugin but it seems pertinent to this conversation - "I haven't used the tool, but common convention for tools is to create the entities they create within model.active_entities instead of model.entities. It also allows for the best flexibility. Since it is the convention with the native tools and pretty much all custom tools it is confusing if the geometry is created in a different context." Seems to me that SolidTools clearly violates any conventions that are normally in force. KrisM

So it's been a couple months since last reply and I was wanting some recent feedback on the app. I was given an iTunes gift card and since SU is my passion just wondered what others thought of it. PS Most of the reviews at the App store seem to point to the 3d warehouse being the only way to view models. This is not a problem in my case as I only want to view my models for clients. The App store page doesn't say much about the use of scenes to navigate with in the model any experience there?

Zoom out and you will start to see the true origins of various components appearing at some distance. The origin of a group or component needs to be near itself or you get clipping etc.

Thanks a lot that seems to work! great help!

The initially released version of SketchUp 2014 for PCs, was found to have an issue if the SKP was opened from a drive which wasn't the same [system] drive on which SketchUp.exe and its related Tools folder was installed. It also unexpectedly had other issues with reading Plugins folders when there were accented characters or single quotes in your User name. A new updated version is available from the Trimble download site - it addresses those issues. So if you get/install that and still have these problems then maybe we need to look deeper...

It is possible or not, it is better to keep everything clear. it is a "bad" habit of autocad users who expect everything be like autocad.. I.e. spacebar in 3Dsmax will be a nightmare for a noob, (it will lock the last selection) and it is "pan" in PhotoShop..... better to use competition car for competing and personal car for ordinary jobs not like a tracktor.

Thanks for the tip about paste in place into a file. I use paste in place a lot when I am modeling for different reasons but never thought about trying it in a new window. I didn't realize it would work across files. I don't think it will work for my current issue because I'm just making very small adjustments and I need the rest of the model to reference but it's a great thing to keep in the back of my mind for later because you never know. nice tip

@dave r said: Did you try turning off Profiles? Or do that AND turn of Edges. It seems to me you asked this before at least once. Yip I did I think, if so it would be few years back anyway it was the profiles thanks

Thanks for the suggestions! I´ll try this tips...hope some day will be a pluggin for this, it will improve the productivity.

Anyway cool result!

This has been covered repeatedly here on SCF. You shouldn't just copy plugins from SU2013 to the SU2014 installation. Many plugins required updates to meet Ruby 2.0 standards. Probably the best thing you could do is delete the plugins you pasted into the the SU2014 Plugins folder and start from scratch. Using the SCF Plugin Store's tools will make that easier.

Many thanks to Dave R for the answer. Yes, I had made a bad choice of shortcut key. What a dipstick....I only used x I think I was having a bad day Regards...Dick.
