PLEASE HELP.

In order to activate your licence your SketchUp needs to be able to access our licensing server. Please ensure that you are connected to the internet when you are activating your licence and no firewalls are blocking the internet communication. If you are behind a firewall, whitelist the  sketchucation.com domain and all it's subdomains.

It is about as close to 'plug and play' as you can get.   I use Enscape from time to time, and it produces great results for the time you put in, but still mainly use Vray for the high quality photo-realistic renders.  Enscape is lacking in a few areas, like metal reflections.  I've had to switch back over to Vray when rendering kitchens with all stainless steel appliances because they just werent up the level we needed for super-high-end renderings.  Also when we needed advanced multi-layered materials, need the power of a renderer like Vray for that.  But still, Enscape is pretty amazing for what it does and how quickly it does it.
To get good results with whichever tool you decide to go with, you will have to learn the basics of materials &amp; textures.  Diffuse, reflections/glossiness, bump/normal maps...and creating good seamless non-tiling textures.   I should also note, Chaos Group has great getting started tutorials....maybe give their tutorial on materials a shot and see how you go.  They also have a pretty extensive library of ready to render materials built in now.  Here are the quick start tuts: [https://www.chaosgroup.com/vray/sketchup/tutorial-videos](https://www.chaosgroup.com/vray/sketchup/tutorial-videos)

It's been a while since you posted here, but maybe you'll find my response useful.
Indeed, there is no inset tool designed for non-planar quads.
Here's some workaround:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&amp;t=39442&amp;p=658977&amp;hilit=inset#p658977
You can also take a look at Tools On Surface by Fredo. It has a tool called Offset On Surface. It will do half the job, but you'll still have to merge excess vertices manually.

Bitdefender started reporting false positives for SUbD last week. I've submitted a False Positive report to them, hoping they'll update their definitions soon.
In regard to your recent post: can you check if  C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2021/SketchUp/Plugins/TT_SUbD/libraries/2.1.7.0/2.7/win64/SUbD.so exists on your machine?
If it does, and you still get this error, can you ZIP up the  C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2021/SketchUp/Plugins/TT_SUbD folder and send it to me please?
(False positives from AV software is such a pain to clean up.)
