    I have a perpetual license for SketchUp 2018. It is currently loaded on my laptop (since 2018) but I have a second seat and would like to load it onto my newer desktop computer that runs Windows 11. When I open SketchUp, it says I am not connected to the internet, even though I am. I've done some research and one solution says I need to open my i18n.dat file and change the ONLINE_TEST_URL to something other than bing.com. I've done this, and it hasn't worked. Another post suggests SketchUp 2018 is trying to use Internet Explorer to see if I'm online, but that feature has been discontinued on Windows 11 and cannot be installed. I have no good solution if this is the problem. Any suggestions? I really love having a perpetual license and would like to keep it for as long as possible. My laptop is going to die someday and I'm not sure I can afford the expense of a Pro license at this time. Thanks.

    I've been using blender as a catch all for 3d file formats.. a complicated mesh can get cleaned up in blender or simplified and export as a .dae into SU. I do this with OBJ's all the time

    The ability to "isolate" and only view a given tag. Instead of having to toggle off the visibility of all other tags.

    @ntxdave if you don't need the full pro Photoshop experience, but you want a free clone (which allows you to follow along most basic Photoshop tutorials) you can also give a try to https://www.photopea.com/ It will work in your browser (kinda like SketchUp free does) and doesn't need an account. You can also install it locally if you prefer.

    Hello, found an easy solution, ignore everything ayone else said. When you are selecting a different material make sure your default tray on the right under Materials has "select" selected instead of Edit, doing this prevents editing of the texture's shade and wont make it a shade darker every time you eye drop it. This 100% works.

    Paint any colour on face Use the Edit tab for that colour to access the Match Colour on Screen [image: 1747395093149-940d929f-d534-4d97-8812-d4046e3520c5-image.png] Now the colour you painted will change to the sampled pixel colour.

    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. It went smoothly had to reinstall a couple of plugins. D5 Render doesn't have their sync app for 2025 yet. Other than that it's still those ugly post SU 2022 icons.
