Did you check the component axis position? [image: K5pj_axisComp.gif]

You might find Tig's Workplane useful. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=WorkPlane

Update version #, I assume? Done. (And guaranteed not to remember to do it again that when 2019 comes out.)

Thanks @faust07, I hadn't bothered to check for an update! @HornOxx, you can try the newer version to see whether it helps. If my theory is correct about what is happening, it will still fail the same way. I noticed in the comments on the new version the author says he created it for use when importing into Lumion, but as of Lumion 3 it isn't needed any more.

Look at "Slicer"... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Slicer https://sketchucation.com/plugin/781-tig_slicer http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=374969#p374969

Hi Dave R - Thanks for the tips. I'll download ThomThom's CleanUp3 tonight.

This is my preview pane then [image: BBl8_1Untitled.png]

Thanks Dave, pretty simple when you think about it that way! After I posted this yesterday, I found all the previous versions in the models component library and deleted them, thus removing all the # numbered versions which were confusing me! Thanks for the quick reply and solution.

@calypsoart said: I get update messages from 3 sources. Sketchucation Extension Store, Fredo6 update check, and the Trimble extension warehouse. When I get from the Extension store, the update process goes well and it says all updated. However, a run of Fredo6 plugin check shows updates available. Most I know have been updated. Further, update notifications from Trimble's extension warehouse are sometime problematic and I'd like to disable them. Suggestions? Do you have an example? Sketchucation ExtensionStore is the trustable source, because this is where I publish the plugins. LibFredo6 Check For Update can be slightly off-sync (intentionally), because I usually wait for a few downloads of a new version to turn it on. However, it should not say that there is anything to update if ExtensionStore tells you have everything up to date. Note that you can still get the dialog box showing periodically even if everything is up to date. LibFredo6 never does a check online in the background unless you press the button "Check For Update". SO the display of the dialog box is only dependent on the last time you did a check. For my plugins, forget Trimble Extension Warehouse, as I don't publish there and just expose a link to Sketchucation. But for other authors, this can be the trustable source.

Fredo's Animator allows you to animate objects and camera, so if you leave the objects alone you should be able to animate between the scene's cameras. But nothing is done with no work... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Animator

Jackpot! Takes a while to process but does exactly what I require it to do. Great help, appreciated.

Nice rendering - How did you do the lighting effects and the motion blur?

@rawbee said: R key for rectangle, then hold down the control key That became available after this thread started. And you don't need to hold Ctrl. Just tap and release.

@poppadave The sink next to the octagon I used several plug-ins, Curvi-loft, round corner. The ones to the right I used the native tools. I created a basic outline, copied that down on the blue axis, created a plane at 40 degrees, moved the front two corners back and in until they were intersecting with the plane and the edges. I hand stitched the top and bottom corners together. Made a group, made a copy, scaled one of the copies down by .9, dropped it in the center of the larger one, exploded them both, and deleted the face. I made a rim for the sink using "follow me". Scaled it up by 1000, and intersected. I'm sorry, I'm not the best explainer and I sure can't make you a gif. So I hope that was enough information to head you in the right direction. Good luck, Chris HP Sink.skp

thanks rv

What is the question? To get rid of junk lines use make faces plus delete coplanar plugins. Matter of cecond.

you can download ol' SU Pro versions (DE/EN only) down to version 6 from our SUP download archive. Recent operating systems are obviously not supported.

@mike amos said: When will Blender 2.8 be released? All I have found out so far is that release is delayed. I'm hearing sometime in Q2-2019..BUT there many people are now using it since it's been in BETA. Beta typically means all the features are locked down but there may still be bugs. I've been using it for a few months now and it's pretty darn robust. As Pete says, you can download it now. Regarding DL'ing of Blender 2.8. You should consider updating your download every couple of weeks. I know this sounds silly, but it's pretty amazing how robust the daily builds are. I've yet to have to 'revert' to an older version, and I've been doing this for both 2.79 and 2.8 for quite some time now.

Thank you for such a concise tutorial tuna1957, Ive been away from the PC for a few hours making other bits. I will have a go in the morning and report my efforts. It's great to have such knowledgable folk to lean on, it's much appreciated. Joe.

I am running the software on my MacBook Air 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 6000, until now, i have no issues, performance is so good.
