    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.

    I'd like to see an example file that shows the problem you are having. i frequently adjust the stretch geometry with the Move tool and infer to entities outside the current group or component with no problem.

    Glad you got it sorted. If Thom Thom's extensions are showing as unsigned when you look at Extension Manager, you need to update them. His extensions should all show as signed. Please update your profile. It shows you are still living in the past.

    @pbacot said: I think that extension would be the Sketchucation Extension Manager.No? No. It lets you selectively turn extensions on and off, but has no effect on the order in which they are loaded or the order in which their items are placed in menus.

    When I recently had some trouble and had to backtrack versions temporarily Trimble was very helpful in making sure I had the right license key. No hassles.

    You didn't provide much of the information that would be needed to help you. For example: what Mac hardware (including any external monitors) and macOS version? SketchUp can become confused about where to place dialogs if you use monitors with different resolutions. Also, there is no guarantee the SketchUp 8 will run correctly on newer versions of macOS (though it might...). where did you obtain the copy of SketchUp 8? It has not been available directly from Trimble for some years, and who knows whether the one you obtained is intact... does any part of SketchUp 8 work correctly? Said the other way, are these dialogs the only issues you encounter?

    I get what you mean but, Bringing the mesh into blender (via obj) everything loads in place, as it does in Poser, daz studio, wings, silo.... Etc Su is the only one that seems to require manual placement of every imported mesh item.

    You're spot on with what you say. Middle of the floor, not a problem. Free standing stoves are ideal. The ideal solution would be a feature where I can apply a material to the wall around the stove (my mask) and for Sketchup to ignore everything behind it. I'm assuming this isn't something that could be achieved via a plugin? It might be easier to go back to Unity and see what I can do there. Thank you all for your suggestions. Kindest regards, Reagan.

    oh boy.... i was searching "3 point" NOT "3pt" thanks for taking the time to compensate for my, eh..lack of sleep I installed Pixero's 3pt rectangle and error is gone. STILL i have to wonder if it wasn't installed, why was i getting the error in the first place? I used LAUNCHER to search installed plugins within sketchup also using all sorts of relevant keywords but nothing had come up. Oh well. Solved for now. Thanks!! Bob

    Pretty cool idea. Slapped together a quick example.... The drawings are 24" x 36". Drew a 4" grid across the sheet. Used FredoScale > Radial Bend to start with and added more "crinkles" with Vertex tools. You can go as crazy as you'd like with this part. Imported a couple of generic plan images I had on file. Used ThruPaint to apply the images to the sheets. Brought in the first house model I came to and scaled it down to suit. Turned on shadows and there you have it. Edit - I have no life .... added a third sheet with more curl to the end. Be sure to check out Box's tutorials. [image: mL5J_archicard.jpg] [image: e5hp_archicard2.jpg]

    The coloration of the chair is probably setup as a refractive material in the Max file. This will not come into SketchUp, so the above texture is a clever trick.

    Can't seem to create surfaces after draping linework on topo

    This issue happens can you import CAD files and drape them. It's always been a bug and it lingers still. I would recommend using EdgeTools and clean up any little bits and shards in your CAD file. Then you can try also running it on your topo after draping. This doesnt always work but it gets a good amount of unclean cuts. You can also bet that arcs tend to have this issue when draping. To find the culprit, I turn on hidden and start painting my areas, you will eventually find where the bleeder is and fix the teeny-tiny edge that did not cut cleanly. Also try Fredo's Edge Inspector.

    For years I have requested a way to have saved work spaces in SketchUp. This could even include customized Menu items, that way you have categorized your plugins. Send Trimble an email and make this a priority for them!

    Glad you got it sorted. @jgillick said: The geometry was hidden in another layer. The penny drops! Another good example of why the rule about leaving Layer 0 as the active layer and keeping all geometry on Layer 0 should be followed. Bookmarked for the next time someone isn't convinced from reading the help articles on layer usage in SketchUp.
