Users who have access to the shop backend
I have no idea, as I learned it on my own, and @michaliszissiou did a great job, throwing me into the deep end of the pool in one session!
I had only one online session with him about sculpting! and it let me go beyond my fears as I saw how easily he works with it!
Now I may do a similar job, just let me know if you're interested ( it will be for free, as he did the same)
Also why not using Su Make (2007 I guess ) version?
Our archived old copies are not perfect - try this v2.6 it should work with older SketchUp versions like v8, but has it none of the abilities of the current v8.0.
SectionCutFace.rb
There's also this intermediate version which might still work ?
SectionCutFace_v6.2.rbz
I posted this in the main SketchUp forum. But I thought it might also be appropriate here...
In newer versions of SketchUp... if you have your PC's Desktop on folders to display icons, then SKP files and SKB files look the same - with a model snapshot in them. In folders you can list by details to separate them out, but on the Desktop because they have similar names and icons it's then easy to drag-n-drop to email someone a file - using the SKB rather than the SKP which will be one-save newer.
I work out a simple Registry hack to fix this...
I extracted the SketchUp .ico file from its exe using a free PC utility called “IconsExtract” - by https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iconsext.html
I edited it in Gimp to have a washed-out paler-blue color and a red-dot bottom-right to differentiate it from other icons. You can do the same, or edit the file I’ve attached here. I can't get a ZIP to upload so try this zip Unzip the contents [.ico] SketchUp_IDR_MAINFRAME-SKB.zip.rbz …
Put the .ico file into the SketchUp folder as
"C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\SketchUp\SketchUp_IDR_MAINFRAME-SKB.ico"
Next add the .ico path to the SKB set up in the Registry - Make a Notepad++ file on your Desktop named “SKB_icon.reg”
Copy/paste this text into it and save it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; 1. Register the extension globally
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.skb]
@="SketchUp.BackupFile"
; 2. Define the global file class icon mapping
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SketchUp.BackupFile]
@="SketchUp Backup Document"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SketchUp.BackupFile\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\SketchUp\SketchUp_IDR_MAINFRAME-SKB.ico"
; 3. Mirror the class mapping to User Classes to enforce priority
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes.skb]
@="SketchUp.BackupFile"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\SketchUp.BackupFile]
@="SketchUp Backup Document"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\SketchUp.BackupFile\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\SketchUp\SketchUp_IDR_MAINFRAME-SKB.ico"
; 4. Kill the protected user application overrides that block the icon
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.skb\UserChoice]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.skb\OpenWithProgids]
Run that reg file by double-clicking it - accept the danger warning [there’s no warranty given, but it is pretty safe].
The Registry is now set up right, but nothing will have changed visually on your Desktop regarding SKB files.
So now you need to fix Windows Explorer and the Thumbnail cache.
Open a cmd window as admin [through the Windows / Start menu].
Paste the following text and enter.
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
del /f /s /q /a %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_*.db
start explorer.exe
Explorer will die, the thumbnail cache will be deleted and remade, and then Explorer will restart…
Now the new SKB icon should appear on all such files, even when SKP files show their contents.
Did you try Edge Tools?

It has a Straighten Co-Linear tool...

It's a mystery....
If you take a spill off the stairs at least the table will break your fall!
Shame you can't use the embedded materials in RS. Makes iterating various design choice very fast.
Are you using the latest version of both Curviloft and Libfredo?
That may be the reason you are prompted. Otherwise you may have simply forgotten you installed at some point.
Congrats on your — launch.
Have you read the preceding posts in this thread which explain how to do this yourself...
Also make sure you have the latest version of the SketchUcation tools installed as this has the newest licensing setup. Restart SketchUp after the installation[s] to sync everything...
rbz파일을 인스톨해도 아이콘이 생기지 않음. 툴바에도 없음 스케치업 v2022사용중. 정품 사용자이고 라이센스도 가지고 있음
No icon appears after installing the .rbz file, and it doesn't show up on the toolbar either. I am using SketchUp v2022. I am a legitimate user and hold a valid license.
Which exact extension are you referring to ?
If it's a Fredo6 extension, then look under the Tools menu.
Remember that you need LibFredo6 installed as well - because this supports Fredoo6's extensions.
And you need the latest version of the SketchUcation tools installed, as that manages the licenses.
After installing these extensions restart SketchUp to sync everything...
