    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    @Box I don't understand, I didn't 'quietly edit' anything, I just used the editor to edit my version one I knew what it was. I reinstalled and all working now.

    @Rich-O-Brien Sometimes SketchUp was crashing, sometimes SU Podium crashed, and sometimes windows crashed. Shop sorted the problem by changing the motherboard, they said that there was an incompatibility that they couldn't find. Since I've had it back it's had PodiumxRT go down once, but ShetchUp stayed running.

    Right now that is not an option/something I want to do. I have looked at something like model-viewer and for some reason cannot get my model to show up. I have not been able to figure out what I a doing wrong. I have seen several examples but can not get mine to show up. I keep winding up with a blank page. Ugh

    @luisto Photomatch image is linked to camera position. If you orbit then the position changes so the match image will disappear. If you want an image to be persistent it would need to be a style with a background image

    @leminilab I think its a solution to a very unique problem. SketchUp has its own sorting in the tray using up and down. So it takes a few clicks.

    Problem solved, fixed by simply logging out and back in again...twice. Another issue I am having relates to the referencing of an Excel file into layout. Previously it worked fine...open up the file, amend it, save it then update in layout and and all good. Now that I have updated to Office365 and Onedrive for my files, the only way to update the Excel file in LO is to close the file. The same file works OK when on Dropbox so is this a onedrive setting / permissions issue? If anyone else has had this issue then I be interested to hear how you fixed it. Thanks

    The links don't appear to expire naturally, something must have gone wrong with that one. Here is one I posted about a year ago and it still works. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=372&t=75777&p=687176&hilit=share#p687176

    If you insist on using an older version of SketchUp you need to learn some basic alternatives. The Extension Manager updates etc and the Extension and 3d-Warehouse are not supported in older versions. This means you can't install/update from the built-in links. However, you can open the Extension Warehouse page in your web-browser and from there search for what you want and download an RBZ to your computer, and store it somewhere logical. You can then use the Extension Manager's dialog to Install it [button near the bottom]... This is not 'rocket-science' A simple Google search shows that the Extension Warehouse is available here... https://extensions.sketchup.com/

    Thanks heaps Rich I do not know why I have an aversion to plugins, to my detriment I expect. Though I will download clothworks but the wait time to receive the plugin did not work with my workflow. Did you do the cable with the follow me tool? I did not see your post in time, but thank you very much for it. I ended up figuring out my own way which turned out OK. I have attached an image of my methodology which basically was to do a 2d follow me and the slice it and rotate the segment and then join them. Sounds fiddly but in fact was quite easy.

    @alohaa said: "Generally don't use measure - use pencil instead" Why not use the measure tool? That's what it's there for! And as written, this applies to both measure tools. If I measure a length and I want the result to be retained, I can only use the tool in question. Because less is more. Line tool delivers the same result without need in extra effort

    I'm in the same situation, I reinstalled Windows and didn't release the licenses before. Maybe I had an old version of skechucation since now I can only see assigned licenses, but I can't release them. Is there any way I can regain access to those licenses? Thanks,

    @rich o brien said: I have them as shortcut keys. If I want to TRIM I just copy the cutter to memory buffer before the boolean. CTRL+V will bring it back. That's the key point.. I'm a "toolbar man" can't remember that many button, I have really bad memory. But I have custom toolbars set up, so I can keep a compact group of just 3 buttons: add, group-add and split (from BoolTools2). I always feel that split is the most versatile "subtractive" boolean. Your point about trim is valid, but what if you need intersect? Split may serve as subtract, intersect and trim and takes a single button on my toolbars. But.. probably the real reason why I prefer Split is that, for the kind of models I mainly do for work, I barely use booleans. They tend to create unsuitable topology.. I use booleans mostly when I do hobby projects to build something out of wood. I don't want to waste wood, so with Split I can more easily keep track of the leftovers and scraps to do this kind of stuff. [image: y0P7_Scraps.JPG]

    TIG's 2D tools would be my recommendation to try out. You can install it using Sketchucation Tools https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools For the full parametric 2D to 3D workflow there's PlusSpec...if you've deep pockets https://youtu.be/1EBAbMLufaQ PlusSpec would pay for itself pretty quickly though
