I don't believe there are any extensions to do that. You could use 3D text and drawn 3D dimension and extension lines to create the geometry. I find it's simper and faster to combine a couple of image exports; the render and a dimensions-only image direct from SketchUp. This is a quick 10 second render to show the idea. The render: [image: 1751736869218-vise-render-resized.png] The dimensions-only image export from SketchUp: [image: 1751736887769-creasman-moxon-vise-dimens-resized.png] And after combining them in an image editor: [image: 1751736926906-creasman-moxon-vise-render-resized.png] The layer for the dimensions is set to Multiply in the image editor.

Did you look at the video on it's ExtensionStore page? https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1103-extrudetools I still don't have time to do a video on the entire process but maybe this will help. I copied out the needed edges from the L I already made for this. Note that the straigh edges at the ends need to be divided into multiple segments and welded to make them curves. Two segments is enough, though. Going through the options I chose to no delete the original curves. Since the entire letter gets done in stages, you can't delete all of the edges after an extrusion because you'll need them for the neighboring steps. [image: 1751719413407-eebyr.gif]

@rv1974 "OK, but it would have been nice to do it with 'fredo scale'"

Fredo has solved this for me - I had a " : " in the sequence name, removed and it worked. Thanks!

thanks

Output Override is a Document Setup setting so yes, you can save that as part of your template like the rest of the Document Setup options.

What seems at face value a rather basic operation is actually a lot more complex potentially. Rather than trying to executing a mass extrusion process do a sample extrusion to see what kind of geometry is output. A planar n-gon with 6 entities will result in 22 entities when extruded. Imagine if those 740 groups have ~100 entities each then you are asking Sketchup to create ~300k entities. SketchUp then has to consider other things like its inbuilt tolerance, are there curves etc.... This is not a simple as a simple extrusion if the geometry you are extruding is not efficient.

Hi dave, I was going to upload a basic p[an of my daughters house but when I adjusted the dimensions the justifcation worked so not sure whats going on. I have been having major issues with the new SU render engine which has screwed up a few of my files but I will do a separate post on this. I will investigate the dimension justification issue further and let you know what I find. Thanks. Stan

@TIG Ah legend. I've just converted a OTF to TTF and it's found it. Thanks

Extensions > Clothworks > Manual menu is your friend. Artificial Intelligence is naturally stupid.

Actually a better plugin for someone who writes plugins would be a UI that shows all current .dwg layers and next to each layer is a tag selection box. this would allow me to move thru reassignments with ease. But even better would be that every piece of geometry then gets grouped and tagged with the new SKU tag and the geometry within is assigned to "untagged".

@Rich-O-Brien said in 3D terrain scanning/point cloud import: 3.6gb mesh is a lot to handle for many apps. But SketchUp is not meant to be a platform for such a use case. I'd import that into Blender and try using either a Decimate or Remesh modifier to reduce the point count to get something usable in SketchUp. You also may have many duplicate points in that mesh which would cause chaos in SketchUp so some cleaning would be needed in that area too. I tried importing a 64,000kb monochrome .dae into Sketchup and that was completed within 30 seconds or so, but working with it was pretty much impossible. I tried running both a cleanup and converting triangular mesh to quad, but both failed. I've previously imported a small 3D scan of a room complete with textures as a .glb from an ipad and that worked great, but anything beyond that is a world of pain.

For the native tools, I did not change the icons. So you get the old ones. I don't think I will update them.

Could you show us what you are working with? The model as it stands

@bzqp said in Joint Push Pull Classic (Old version) - v2.2a - 26 Apr 17: Hmm, the starting post states LibFredo6 is not required and the classic version works with all Sketchup versions. The new version seems to be paid from what I see, I'd very much prefer the free one. Classic JPP fails on SketchUp 2018 and above because of changes to the ruby API. It is available for anyone on older versions of SketchUp.
