Different ways for a similar result...a hole on a volume. And you can of course move the hole realised along the volume (not shown here) [image: WHB0_GIF_holoop.gif]

@unknownuser said: Does it work real-time (I can move objects in SketchUp and immediately see them move in Enscape) and let me use light sources such as spot lights through SketchUp? Seems I have writed "real real time" and shown a video! So yes ! Minutes 3.50 and following... About Lights yes! See Minutes 7.50 and following...

@Last is gone and the new owners view Sketchup just as a business. The discount deal to subscribe is pretty good if the new features are really needed but you will be just a subscriber and with no feedback option like in the beginning. IMO If your most current SU does the job just keep your perpetual or free license and then you can use all your favorite plugins as well. There is no way to be certain that the subscription versions will support your plugins in any case. Even SU 8 with all the super plugins that there are is very powerful and complete for most modeling. Sketchup in the beginning was and still is the best conceptual modeling program that one could hope for but is not a Cad program and Layout is not either. For Cad and production drawings Give Turbocad Deluxe a look. It is very configurable and icons for all functions with user definable keystrokes too. It has Model space/Paper space/xref and underlay PDF features. Also will import/export Sketchup/Acad/Dxf/Stl and more. Very affordable too. Sketchup 2018 is a good stopping point as even old legacy plugins and all of my favorites still work properly. dtrarch

The discount is applied when you enter the e-mail associated with your SketchUp account.

perfect thanks for this

Damned ! Exactly what I need. [image: oWh3_Presse-papier01.jpg]

Your post hasn't been blocked by trimble, the cia, mossad or anyone except the basic users of the forum. It shows to me as hidden, posts look very different if they have been deleted.

@rparsons said: I currently use Sketchup 2018 although I am up to date with the maintenance program. I just downloaded 2020-2 and installed but I do not have an email giving me the serial number and authorization. Where do I get that info? Thanks in advance. Ron Try the SketchUp license manager.

Well, I've decided to ditch animating it all together and just make a simple render. Will post it in a few!

Found it, window/model info/Geo-location/Set manual location. I used manual

More segments can be better if you want smoother curves and such. It can also result in file bloat which can adversely affect the model so you have to be wise about it.

Are you looking under Products, Models, Collections, or Catalogs? What are you searching for?

I believe there is only this one ? Vertex Tools by Thomthom

Good deal. You can go to your Trimble Account Manager Portal and remove all users freeing up all the seats if you ever need to do that. Then you just sign in again as needed.

Thanks so much pbacot! It's a great sulution indeed! I have posted on the tool's post - a question on how to get the segmentation right. Maybe you'll have an insight as well: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=43371 Thanks again!!

Wow! That's a pretty clumsy way to deal with an expired subscription! You might want to contact MindSight Studios and see if they are aware of this.
