@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: 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

@kgalyen said in Extension Manager and Plugins Manager not working on Mac: if disabling them using these managers disables them for the current session or only once sketchup is restarted? Also, disabling them keeps the plugins files in the plugins folder correct? Disabling is persistent across sessions but you can load plugins temporarily not extensions. Disabling does not remove plugins/extensions. They are renamed to prevent loading and enabling/loading temporarily will restore their original names.

@schaferron1 what version of SketchUp are you using? Share a .skp file in which this happens.

@nickchun glad you got it sorted. I presume you used the previous version of the ExtensionStore tool to update to the current one. Periodically open the UI. It'll check any extensions that it installed for updates, including itself, and let you know if there are updates to install.
