    A variation to add to this post. This window does not use a dummy frame to aid placement. Instead, The window component is exploded straight after insertion. Each cutting sub-component and the window itself has a red 'Gizmo' as part of the component. These are placed away from the wall so they can be selected more easily. All the gizmos are occupying the same position. Now, by selecting the gizmos, the window plus it's wall cutters can all be moved together. The gizmos are on a layer (Tag) of their own and this can be turned off when not required. I have added a simple setting out range for bricks, in this case 225mm for a brick and one mortar joint. Using this, windows & doors etc. can be set out to make the bricklayers' life easier! [image: New window component placed on left. Window on right exploded.] [image: Window & cutters selected by gizmos. Can be moved using setting out range.] [image: Gizmo layer (tag) turned off.

    This post is old, but I like Mr. Cutout too, Of course they are more for rendering and not models. OK for street scenes but, REALLY hard though to find bland people just standing, maybe talking, when you need only one or two in a residential rendering for scale. (if you pay you get better poses it seems). So many are distracting, inappropriately dressed, doing distracting actions or poses. One thing I like is all the search filters for lighting etc. Quality is great IMO.

    Google and 3dWH are your friends... Look for 'Privet Shrub' [Liguster is just the German name !] https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/ua1e68d95-7773-4936-8f80-d12834dd060d/Privet https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/u74c2fbec-f0b6-4235-bc37-72e54df2f074/cheyenne-privet or 'Box Shrub' [or 'Hedge'] https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=box%20shrub https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=box%20hedge There are lots of these, and I suspect no one could spot if it's one or the other shrubs !

    Each style file contains a doc_thumbnail png image. You could edit the image in an image editor. To access it you would need to change rename the style file from .style to .zip. You could also replace the image with a new one but you would want to make sure the new image is exactly the same size and resolution as the existing thumbnail image. The default thumbnails are created from a SketchUp file which, on the PC is found in Program Data/SketchUp/...Templates. You could open a copy of it and modify it with your style and export an image to use for the style thumbnail. Or you could modify the model so you have a different appearance for the thumbnails for new styles going forward. I would keep a copy of the original StyleTemplate.skp around so you can go back to the original if you want. Note that won't change the existing style thumbnails so it's possible you could create a custom thumbnail model for just a limited set of styles if you wanted.

    You don't need to access the File Locations in Preferences. Just create a new Materials folder in a location you can access such as My Documents as you would create any other new folder. Put the SKM files into that folder. Then, in the Materials panel, open the Details menu (to the right of the drop down list). [image: Screenshot - 8_5_2019 , 7_37_37 AM.png] Click on Add collection to favorites. [image: Screenshot - 8_5_2019 , 7_37_52 AM.png] This will prompt you to navigate to and select the folder you created. Choose Select Folder. From that point on, that Materials collection should appear in your drop down list. FWIW, you can sort your materials into sub folders if you want. For example I have a folder for my own wood grain materials. I sort the materials by species. I've just added folders inside the master "Wood Species" folder. [image: Screenshot - 8_5_2019 , 7_38_30 AM.png] If you want to add materials from a model one at a time to an existing library, you can open the secondary pane in Materials, set one to In Model and the other to the desired library. Then drag the thumbnail from the one to the other. [image: Screenshot - 8_5_2019 , 7_43_33 AM.png] If you wanted to save the entire In Model library collection as a local collection for future use, open the Details menu and click on Save as a local collection.

    They actually work correctly as intended. The images are watermarks which are set to stretch across the entire model window. You have the option to edit the background settings for the style to add ground. [image: Screenshot - 7_11_2019 , 4_46_22 PM.png] If your model has terrain as geometry, there's no need to edit the style but it's within your control to change them to suit your needs.

    Hello everybody, I just stumbled upon this Texture Collection and have the same problem as Musah. 20/21 Links on 4Shared are still perfectly find. Only part 18 is no longer available. Is there anybody who could re-upload the last part so this collection is available for the Sketchup Community? Your help would be much appreciated! Best regards niX.

    No problem-sometimes you just need something specific and if its something a client already has or will buy, it makes the model personal. It doesn't have to be a pillow shape for the image file as long as its a clear, flat (no distortion)view of the fabric

    Also, if you have a Simlab Composer version compatible with your Sketchup version: download the SU14 version, open in Simlab Composer and save as a .skp
