Sometimes it's easier to start 2D flat and progress to 3D then add gentle deformations...
With the 'crude' form you can then let SUbD do the heaving lifting.
But, like your other thread this is now unrelated to creating materials.
My advice to practice, make mistakes, try fix them yourself and rinse repeat.
You seemingly haven't installed it from its RBZ.
If you simply copy the ../Plugins/HouseBuilder_extension.RB file over to the newer SketchUp version it misses the images to make the toolbar-buttons [and worse!]...
Unfortunately the original author was in the dim past [20years ago] and made a half-baked extension loader file, and he didn't give his subfolder the same name as the RB file.
The new[ish] auto-migration tool assumes this file/folder naming convention and so it misses out copying the subfolder of images [and some other vital support files that are in that folder].
To fix it you need to find the whole HouseBuilder folder [and its contents intact] in your older version's Plugins folder and copy that whole folder over into the newer SketchUp version's Plugins folder.
When you startup SketchUp it should now find the subfolder and load the buttons' images and the other vital support files...
That's called Camera Clipping. It occurs when parts of a 3D scene that fall outside the camera's visible region, known as the viewing frustum.

I will try @Rich-O-Brien’s approach as well.
It's not a different approach. I just demonstrated what Rich wrote.
You're starting to worry me Dave.
@ntxdave said in TIG Weld Shortcut Setting:
I thought the Help file said you can these two keys.
You can use Ctrl and Alt for some keyboard shortcuts. Also Shift. But you can't assign keyboard shortcuts that are assigned by the operating system. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, for example are hard coded so you cannot assign them to other things in SketchUp.
Hold CTRL and with it held press and release W.
Sure. I use W for it.

I need to "smooth" or erase some lines on the heart.
Remove the internal faces between the two flat surfaces. Then you should be able to soften the edges on the surface. Those internal faces will have to go if this is a thing you plan to 3D print, anyway.
@ntxdave said in Create new or adjust materials:
I use the 3D Text editor to create the text. Is this the best way or is there another/better way to place text and an image to the face of the heart?
There's nothing wrong with using the Editable 3D Text extension to create the 3D text although you could also use the native 3D Text tool here, too.. The only benefit to using the extension would be if you want to edit the text after creating it.
What kind of image are you thinking of adding? How are you planning to add it?
