On PCs in v2026.1 some nitwit swapped the order in the Preferences >Shortcuts listed for the Edit commands for Copy Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Insert, and also the Cut [+X/+Insert] and Paste [+V/+Insert] etc, so the Edit menu now gives you an illogical listing because the long established ones now come second and so they aren't listed in that menu.
They still work, Unfortunately they are hardwired and not editable in Preferences>Shortcuts.
Hopefully common sense will revert this weirdness in the next update.

RE: Help with ProfileBuilder4 Wallblocks
ProfileBuilder can build an Assembly from a selection.
Model parts needs to be accurate though. If things have skewed axis location you'll end up with a mess.

RE: Delete Used Components
Search for them in Outliner and select/delete?

RE: shortcuts not retained in 2026 when Sketchup restarts
CTRL+C and V works for me even though menu shortcut shows INS
I'd say 2026.1 or 2 will address the issues.
If you check the shortcuts you'll see 2 entries

RE: Scene animation with Animator
@ntxdave said in Scene animation with Animator:
some of the issues I am having are more related to some things I am doing in native SketchUp
That maybe true. You just need to persevere. I would hold the belief you need a good foundation on using SketchUp to really getting the most from Animator.
If you knowledge level in SketchUp is low that is easy fix. Model, model and model.

RE: shortcuts not retained in 2026 when Sketchup restarts
Some OSs protect/reserve certain Ctrl+Key combos, so your system might revert Ctrl+Q to Quit after changes. Try something else like Shift+Q and see what happens...
Alternatively, if you haven't installed SketchUp properly SketchUp might not be able to remember user's changes to shortcuts in their preferences file.
This will be obvious if changing a shortcut to something potentially innocuous isn't remembered across sessions.To fix a faulty installation is simple.
Exit SketchUp and find its Installer exe file, usually in your Downloads folder.
Select its icon and right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator
When the dialog opens it should offer a 'Repair' option.
Choose 'Repair' and let it run,
this will fix the permissions of various files and folders,
so that your normal user-accounts changes to things like Shortcuts are remembered between sessions.
Choosing to 'Run' the installer's exe file, or double-clicking it is not the same as 'Run as administrator', even if your user has some admin-powers.
There's no need to Uninstall and Reinstall to fix things.
The Repair will not affect any customized changes or extension installations etc... -

@ntxdave said in Scene animation with Animator:
Am I being unrealistic as to the type of stuff I should do with Animator?
Horses for courses.
Do whatever makes you happy...
Animator is primarily a tool to animate objects in SketchUp.
That doesn't mean it can't do other things.
I think you need to spend time learning it

RE: Cut holes in a steel structure with ProfileBuilder 4
I'd make this section:
Then use that to make an Assembly
Assemblies
Assemblies let you combine unlimited Profiles and Components to create smart path-based objects such as railings, cavity walls, fences, stairs, roads, kitchen cabinets, and more. Assemblies are completely customizable and re-usable.
Profile Builder 4 (profilebuilder4sketchup.com)

RE: Cut holes in a steel structure with ProfileBuilder 4
I'd used a texture rather than actual geometry.
Otherwise it needs to be an Assembly where you array it end to end. That wouldn't work for curved paths though.
