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 ?

SKP & SKB icons file confusion
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.exeExplorer 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.

RE: How to release seats of Roundcorner?
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... -
RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
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... -
RE: Issue Changing Color of Tag
@adrienneverdefinegardens0131 I presume when you refer to groups in your post you are talking about Tag Folders. There have been a few reports of other users not being able to edit the color or dash style for tags in tag folders in SketchUp/LayOut 2026. I've been doing some testing and I'm not having any difficulty, though. Even in your file I can change the color and other parameters for dashes in LO. Here's an example in which I changed the color and scale of the EX TREELINE tag.
I see incorrect tag usage in your model. ALL edges and faces should be created and remain untagged. Tagging the geometry can create a number of problems including adjusting the dash styles as well as colors. This is the result of correcting the tag usage.
Purging unused content in the model.
Although not related to the dash and color thing, I notice you've overridden the Camera properties for the viewport. This can be a problem especially in cases where you've added labels and dimensions linked to the viewport.

RE: [Plugin] Scene Tweaker
Your cryptic posts are very confusing. Here's what I have deduced...
We lost images from the last few weeks. So I don't know what you mean. Were you trying another extension?
So Scene Tweaker isn't working for you - works for others, so that suggests it's something to do with your Graphics Card setup in Preferences
OR your MAC's version incompatibility with several aspects of SketchUp use [as I set out in an earlier post].
If by 'continuation' you mean an 'update' of this tool, then I think not - it's working for other users, so there's nothing to update ?? -
RE: [Plugin] Drop Vertices
Why have you posted 6 almost identical posts about something - one will do.
And your post doesn't contain enough info for the error either.
You can copy the whole thing and post that - it'd include the error details, and even the line number ?
In you copy/paste it looks like you didn't get the file name right - it's dropverts.rb - you missed off the 'd' - or have you somehow mangled the file's name in reality within the Plugins folder ?
ALSO note that this script is 16 years old and no one has posted here for 10 years. So SketchUp versions and their Ruby installations can vary to generate errors for older scripts when loaded in newer SketchUp versions !
Having said that, I just loaded it into v2026 [PC] and it works fine - just as expected... So please be more helpful with your reporting, so we can help you... -
RE: [Plugin] Scene Tweaker
@maxosmedia
Please explain what you 'fixed' ?
Was it the Graphics Card settings ?
If so, how ?
This step might be useful to other forum members encountering similar issues ??
