Fredo6's - Fredo Scale plugin should do this using the Radial bending tool. You will find it in the Plugin Store along with plenty of guidance on using it. I would suggest making a copy of the roof element as a spare before starting. Good luck!

Thank you so much!

Thanks juju, Wanted to see if you had a good experience with them. I also remember Chipp also saying that he liked their products and had used them on his 'Alamo' project. I downloaded the trials for both Sketch FX and AO yesterday and played with them a bit. I'm planning to pick up FX for sure, but I'm finding using AO in combination with FX taxes my poor old 2014 13" MacBook. The output looks fantastic though. @juju said: I'd hardly say I was active there, probably a handful of posts, if that many. 'Active' is relative of course — in a forum that doesn't have much activity! (You had posted enough times to indicate that you were a user of their plugins.)

There's already a member going by "drafter" on the SketchUp forum. Is that you? [image: 2JJU_Screenshot-12_5_20208_59_00AM.png]

Thanks. Installed that (which I've used on 2017) before finding the old ruby. "Erase Stray Edges" works the same way. So far installing plugins in SU 2021 has been relative a piece of cake. Including the payware without even having to re-register any licenses. @dave r said: You might want to have a look at Thom Thom's CleanUp3. It can clean up more than just unneeded edges.

Good deal.

There's nothing wrong with 6000 pixel-wide image exports. That's often what I do. As for setting the text correctly, you'll need to experiment a little to get the size you want in the image export. I don't know what size you should set because I don't know how big you want the text to appear. There is no way to set lineweight in SketchUp. There never has been. You can do that in LayOut, though and you can use Hybrid rendering so the lines in LayOut are vector lines and will generally be crisper in the exports. (Keep in mind that edges and text will become rasterized in image exports. If you export a PDF from LayOut that won't happen.) And if you use LayOut's Text, Label, and Dimension tools, you can set font size, lineweight for leaders and dimension lines and other properties to get what you want. You'll also be looking at paper space in LayOut so you can easily compare the size of the text with the overall dimensions of the exported image.

Most welcome mate. It opened easily enough in Turbocad.

right on Dave.

Dave Thanks. Well, I found the problem. The screen was not maximized to the fullest. It looked like it filled the total screen area, but When I made the screen smaller, it still behaved the same way. I went to ver 2020, made the screen smaller and it incorrectly behaved like version 2021. Then I made the screen full screen in 2020, and it behaved correctly. Went to 2021. Made the screen smaller than full scale. And now it works. Again, thanks for the help.

@dave r said: It's not uncommon for third party extension and application makers to update their products for a new version of software. It's different when all of that stuff comes from in house because it is typically all updated before the release. For future updates you might consider waiting a couple of weeks to allow those third parties to test and issue their updates. FWIW, if you haven't already done so, you should install the SCF Extension (go to Resources at the top of the forum page and click on Plugin Store Download, download the extension and install it via Install Extension in the Extension Manager.) Then use it to install extensions that you get from Sketchucation. It will help you ensure you have the most recent versions of your extensions installed and it'll keep a list (bundle) of those extensions so you can install them automatically if you move to a new computer or when you update to the next version of SketchUp. thanks for the quick reply. that's what i love about SU, so many little nice surprises and plugins that help alot.

CURIC 2021 compatible plugins were just released this morning. (edit: nevermind - i just installed and they are not working....all kinds of load errors) (edited edit: I emailed Curic the errors and updated package was promptly uploaded. All good now. Tag folders - I have been dying for this feature for a while...now if they could just switch the name 'tag' back to 'layer'.... As far as the new logos.....see pic below... [image: kNxh_c4d.jpg]

Hello, is it possible to use sets like in this video? Please start at 0:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpN97x4mgAA&feature=emb_logo In Cinema4d you can combine any icon (not only Sketchup's own functions) into pallets and save them as layouts. The handling of Plugin-Sets and Extension-Sets is not quite clear to me yet. Thanks a lot and stay healthy.

Yeah, I had the same thing, wanted to run 2021 in trial mode until I felt comfortable with it, but couldn't (it may be the classic ID10T problem?) so ended up upgrading my 2020 perpetual license to 2021 perpetual, so I guess I'm stuck with 2021 whether I like it or not.

Because it's one of Fredo's tools you also need to download/install his LibFredo... Restart SketchUp afterwards to sync things...

@pbacot said: I assign the light components (the rendering object that defines the light -- not the model of the fixture) to a separate layer. For day scenes that layer would be hidden. It's not entirely interactive, as for live rendering or video. Something like that would be special feature of the rendering software, I think. Maybe TwinMotion does this? Hi pbacot, Thank you for your reply, I checked about twinmotion, looks like this the answer of my question, I will download and try it, if they have a free version or trial version

Here too, good luck mate.

There may be a way. What version of SketchUp are you using? Please complete your profile.
