    The only legit license for SketchUp is a subscription and has been for a few years. To activate SketchUp you would enter the email address and password you used when you purchased the subscription. You should be able to do that for two activations. That could be on two different machines or two different versions of SketchUp on the same machine. Presuming you've installed SketchUp 2025 on your PC, what happens when you start it and enter your email address and password? There isn't a free version of SketchUp for desktop and hasn't been since 2018. There's a 7-day trial but you shouldn't need to use that. Just enter your subscription credentials.

    OK, here is a little more information about playing tutorial videos while you are in SketchUp: [image: 1742944617378-view-tutorial-movies-while-using-sketchup.png] [image: 1742944257865-download-tutorial-movies-from-youtube.png] Hope this information helps. I think it is very useful if you can play a tutorial video while you are inside SketchUp. With the processes above you have the ability to resize the video window and pause the video so you can follow things step by step.

    @Rich-O-Brien thank you for this useful and correct advice for most people. We, on the other hand, are decentralised across Europe and many other countries and do not share a common server drives at the moment. Another very important point is that various material pallets relate to specific product lines which may only be used in certain countries. This allows me to better delegate responsibility, maintenance and fine tuning for use to the users themselves...

    @Rich-O-Brien thanks Rich. You're right. The bag adapter thing wouldn't be available off the shelf anywhere. There are alternatives for the footplate thing but as you say, they are much more expensive. A friend had ones made of HDPE installed on her chair. [image: 1738444220022-39bea2e0-3623-4105-a184-4216624824b4.jpg] I think the price was about $250 or $300. My version has less than $3 worth of filament in it and I can't charge for the development time. My version weighs about a third of the one she has. @Mike-Amos thank you.

    in 2025 everything in the trays are expanded with extra spacing and now requires much more screen real estate than 2024. things like the material display forces a lot of extra space around the view and pushes down the list/icons. i'll add this to the bug section in case all the extra spaces wasn't a design feature...
