How do I activate the manipulation gizmo? The scale, rotate, and translate tool I'm trying to learn a million different things on my end.

Edit: never mind, I got it to work same as always.

OK, I'm still having a hard time with this.

Press Enter or Left click...

Rich,

Thanks! I went back and tried again after I posted this and it came back.

I'll paint with Thrupaint and then when I left click it just keeps repainting. Seems like hitting "enter" works great. Don't know what's happening on my end. And now the left click is working easily again.

Anyway, I found this useful video from SketchupEssentials: "ALL of Fredo6's SketchUp Extensions EXPLAINED!"

Its impossible to sample (alt click) material outsidethe context when using Thrupaint inside a component. Could it be fixed?
Are there plans to add material editing like size, transparensy, HSL etc insideTrupaint?
Unfortunately without it the standard Paint tool can't be abandoned.

I can't install True Paint on my computer, why? I attach errors and list of installed Fredo6 plugins.

Hi! I have a problem with the new version of ThruPaint. It doesn't work.
I updated LibFredo6 to v13.4a, Sketchucation ExtensionStore to v4.2.9 and still shows me that "the version of ThruPaint v2.1b has expired. Please upgrade to the latest version."
Whan can I do with that?

Hi Fredo,

I love this tool and couldn't work without it. However, it takes a very long time to load the materials. Is there a way to speed it up or revert back to the old way using the Sketchup selected material?

This is a great tool. Thank you. Any chance of being able to pick colors from the default "Materials" color wheel or incorporate one of your own? Will the color picker only select color from the canvas?

Thanks!

Normally, if you create a material in the Sketchup native material browser, it should appear in the ThruPaint browser under the Model tab.
This is why ThruPaint has not material creation and edition capability.
