        Welcome anhvu.
        What problems are you having?
        Are they with the download or the installation or the activation etc ?
        Did you get the supporting 'Lib' as instructed in the page's instructions?
        It's probably best to post further messages about this in the tool's thread itself...
        Someone - even Fredo himself - might then see you problem and help more comprehensively...

          Hello Folks,
          My name is Simon I live in Hampshire, England. I have been using SU for a couple of years now.

          I run my own business which is Carpentry & Joinery.
          I mainly use SU for presenting my proposals to my clients. Recently I have discovered Vray & have been working my way through various tutorials.

          Have spent quite a bit of time reading through a few threads already on the forum searching for answers 😄

          Cheers

          Simon

            Welcome

            There's a thriving Woodworking sub-forum - as you might have already discovered...
            Dave_R [one of Global Moderators] is also an accomplished woodworker/sketchupper/trainer, and of course a font of many useful tips...

                When you are logged in, the download link should be active. Please, make sure that you enable browser cookies first of all. If you use Internet Explorer, also make sure that your privacy/security settings for Internet browsing are not set too high (as in such cases IE refuses cookies).
                If you still have problems with downloading, please, clear (delete) your forums.sketchucation.com (or in fact any sketchucation related) cookies in your browser. Try to log in then.
                Eventually try another browser. Some people even had issues from their offices (where some stupid, too strict company firewalls prevented them to correctly use the forums) so you may also test if you have the proper access from another network.

                Let me know if you still have problems.

                          Hello all from a newbie...

                          I am totally new to SU, but I am looking to use it to help with my utility mapping needs.

                          I have been learning the basic functions and have a couple of plugins loaded. One is the pipealongpath ruby tool and the other is the roundcorner toolset from Fredo6.

                          I am looking specifically for the answers to the following...

                          Is there a utility to replace the sharp angular bends on lines (something like round corners does with geometric shapes)? Perhaps roundcorners does this bit I couldn't get it to work for me on just lines...

                          Is there a utility to draw lines based on geocoordinates (latitude and longitude, or lat, long and elevation)?

                          I am hoping to be able to plot the start and finish of lines (or a number of points along a line or lines) using geolocation and have them drawn in my sketch with the appropriate bends depending on the parameters that I specify for a material. For example, if a 300mm plastic pipe is the specified material, then I would like to have a 300mm radius 90 degree elbow show where the line takes a 90 degree bend. I don't necessarily want to draw them as pipes, but rather just represent the centreline of the pipe so as not to us up too much bandwidth...

                          Thanks in advance and cheers,

                          Steve

                            Hello, Steve:
                            Maybe "3dskeng" is the tool for you. I believe there is a trial version and a pay version. Seems it does fittings too. There may be another pipe tool that approaches this one. Otherwise, "Pipe Along Path", "Lines 2 Tubes". But you will have to create the arcs yourself and link/"Weld" them together on the path. Get Weld at Smustard. Lines2Tubes either at Ruby Library Depot, or possibly in the Plugins Index- red button at top of this page?

                            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                              Good Morning:
                              I am a retired stock broker from the Boston Massachusetts USA area and have been using SketchUp for several years. To keep myself busy I have been designing and building Sheds, Cabanas and out buildings for a few years. I begin with an ad in Craigslist. Once a customer has contacted me and wants to proceed, I begin with a SketchUp design. After tweaking the design to satisfaction I sign a contract and begin precutting the lumber. For this I use SketchUp in a very linear design. Rafters, Joists, and sheathing.
                              Recently, however, I have purchased from Fine Woodworking two references. One a book (SketchUp guide for woodworkers by Timothy Killen and similar video's by Dave Richards. The video takes you through "how to set up the program, use drawing tools, navigate in a 3-D space, refine drawings, and create shop-ready plans." Like a Highboy. For me it's a lot of learning but at 66 I want to keep myself active and it's fun.
                              Finally, in the not to distant future, I am going to build a beautiful Post and Beam home in New Hampshire and will use SketchUp to design it. Referencing http://www.northernlightstimberframing.com/su/.

                               I found SketchUcation referenced in the video by Dave Richards and glad he did.

                                Howdy.

                                I work for a small manufacturing company and am considering SketchUp as a solution to our modeling needs. We make pretty basic parts, but sometimes it is useful to send our customers a 3D picture of the part so that they can have a visual of how it will fit into where they're going to put it. I downloaded SketchUp maybe two weeks ago and am shocked at how simple it is to draw 3D objects.

                                I'm currently exploring file compatibility with TurboCAD and the eDrawings plug-in so that we can easily send our drawings to customers and they can "explore" the part.

                                Looking forward to getting to know everyone and having a great resource for SketchUp.

                                  Hello,
                                  I am a new user to SketchUcation. I have been using SketchUp for about 2 years now for my job, a drafting technician for a construction company in the US. I bascially am self-taught with SketchUp, and although I feel comfortable with it, I am always looking for improvement. Along with SketchUp, we have been using Shaderlight to render out our SketchUp models. I am still getting the hang of the software and would appreciate any suggestions for improvement. I am always looking for better backgrounds and treelines to improve the look of my drawings, but don't slow down the render. I have seen a few here and they were very nice and helpful. Any advice on where the best place for free stuff, would always be appreciated. Thanks and have a good day, all!

                                            Hello, my name is Mark.
                                            I've been using SketchUp for about a year now. My main focus is in rainwater harvesting and I have found SKP to be a great tool in every aspect of developing a rainwater system. I recently decided to branch out a little and install some plugins and found Sketchucation. I am very pleased with what I have seen so far! Great job, thank you!

                                            If you're looking for models of rain barrels, cisterns, rain tanks, specialty fittings, first flush diversion, or anything relating to rainwater harvesting, check out my models in the 3D Warehouse. Search for rainwater harvesting, or type in: SRQrainbarrels
                                            Also, let me know if you need help with one of our models, or have any questions. I will be glad to help in any way I can.
