@LindaRose good deal. It should be a different group from the flat snapshot. They ought to be closer together than what you show.

Thank a lot Dave ! Have a nice day ! Pace

To have SketchUp 2024 in English while keeping the rest of your apps in French, you can change the language settings specifically for SketchUp rather than the entire system. One way to do this is to check if SketchUp offers an internal language setting in its preferences menu, or you might need to reinstall the software, selecting English during the installation process. Unfortunately, if SketchUp doesn’t support independent language settings, you might need to keep your system in English while using SketchUp, or revert to French for everything.

@Leggy Perhaps start your own thread reporting this problem, perople will notice it more then.

Great. Thank you Rich. I will give that a try. I am keen to find a reason for it, as I am sure I will bump into it again.

@dahnuguy The model.save_copy method is only available >=v2014 So it fails in v8.

It's funny, I don't remember the 2013 change, but I'm sure I'll always remember the 2023 one! The new icons are terrible, for all the reasons U. Paar states. I've been using them for a year already, and still find them significantly harder to find in the toolbar because they are smaller and are all so similar. Plus they are just graphically inferior. I do use shortcuts, but only for the 20 or so tools and commands I use most regularly. The irony is that the native tool icons used to be more legible than most of those those created by plugin developers, but now it's the opposite. This really seems like an unnecessary own goal by the graphics team. Mark

@Rich-O-Brien Cool. I'll try to get in touch with him

@tuna1957 No way! This is such a disappointment! This was such a great resource.

Since June. He announced in late April that he was making it commercial.

End of Support policy End of Support affects all SketchUp products installed on your desktop PC or Mac. When "End of Support" happens, the product you are using goes from being "Supported" to "Unsupported". Going forward, SketchUp desktop products will become unsupported on January 31st of the third year after the product's release year. For example, SketchUp 2022's End of Support date is January 31, 2025. when i used the sketchup 19 it got expired and reinstall can't be complete with fredo latest version, so i had installed the skechup 23 verion and used the fredo6 plugins (animator) are easy to enable.

@pmolson can you send me the .skp file either via email or a PM? @pmolson said in texture position grips size: I am switching it to use my graphics card. Do you mean you tried switching to the new graphics engine in SketchUp's Preferences>Graphics?

@llaves yes, dimensioning radii in LayOut needs to be added. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Currently I just use a label for that in LayOut. It works well enough. You could put in temporary radius/diameter dimensions in SketchUp and give them a tag which you can turn off in LayOut once you placed the labels. Doing this also makes it easier to maintain consistency in the appearance of dimensions in LayOut. It's a pain at best to combine dimensions and leader text from SketchUp with dimensions and labels in LayOut.

@HornOxx !Solved! I finally found it out for myself! I had to take out this check mark (but you all knew that already I think ) [image: 1719739122374-186943a2-e71c-4d63-a7f8-f26625fad4aa-image.png]

@Dave-R It's to be able to sample the texture to paint some geometry. Typically urbanism. I get landscape bitmap drawings that I need to scale to match the DWG. Then I need to explode the image to paint the mesh that I start to build with quadfacetool, vertextools and subD ( I use vertextools ability to keep the texture UV while editing the vertex). Sometimes I use Google Earth images too, and trace the roads first, then start building quads. Once I start moving the vertex, and break the planeity, the texture gets exploded and I use the source image to sample the texture scale and orientation ( by using the projected mode) and repaint the messed up geometry. When creating complex terrains, I group the parts to keep the subdiviions fast. And once a group is created, I can't see the source texture anymore so I can't trace upon it. When using DWG style vectorised drawings, there's no problem as the source remains visible when you're in a group (and the source drawing outside the group), but with bitmaps, you need it inside the group to be visible unless it's an image. So I'd like to be able to keep the visibility of a bitmap in all circumstances, wether inside or outside a group.. Or, being able to sample an image and use it as a texture without having to explode it first.

Well I thought the update fixed it but nope. Back to having issues with the paint bucket tool. meh

@grizzler Glad that you got it sorted
