    While you are preparing the info for Rich can I also ask: the A0C error means the computer name and what's in the license file don't match., so have you changed your computer name ? Or copied license files between different computers ? Or perhaps your computer-name [or even user-name?] contain non-standard characters [like accented letters or other non-standard characters] - the Microsoft requirement is for computer names to have only ASCII alphanumeric characters [A-Za-Z0-9] and a few common punctuation characters, and not following this can result in weird issues when comparing licenses and computers etc - I am guessing you are perhaps french so accents could be the issue...

    V8.0 is released https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=2Dtools Or via the ExtensionStore dialog. It fixes a glitch with v2026 whereby some MAC users could not get the TAB key press/up to work to open dialogs in some tools, and some PC users had to press/up 4 times to make TAB work. But <=2025 users had no issues. I've now improved the onKeyUp methods to optimize TAB use in v2026, but it can still be flaky for some users. including me needing 4x press/up! So as an additional option I've added one press/up on the Shift key which will also open the dialogs, in certain tools like LineStyle and Hatching. The Help pages explain this dialog opening more fully. Please try and report back issues...

    This extension is very useful, with an exception - by default, it selects hidden objects and tags, and there is no way to change that behaviour.

    A new signed Version 8.0 of the toolset is available as an RBZ in the PluginStore https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=2Dtools or for AutoInstall/Update through the ExtensionStore dialog. It addresses the TAB keycode weirdness recently reported when trying to open a dialog for certain tools, like LineStyle and Hatching etc. The TAB press/up was itself introduced for >=v2020 when the right-click in empty-space context-menu option was removed from the Ruby API. It had to be a TAB press/up because MAC has always ignore a simple TAB press. Recently it's been found that in v2026 on a MAC a TAB press/up sometimes fails to work at all, and other times on PCs x4 press/up were needed to get TAB to call the dialog - whilst weirdly some users experienced no issues with it at all, on either OS ! I have now error trapped the keycode capture for TAB as best I can, note that on <=v2025 there's no problems with TABx1 press/up [sadly my own PC still needs TABx4 press/up with v2026], and TABx1 may work with v2026 for some users and OSs, BUT as a fallback I've now introduce an alternative additional key press/up - Shift - which [I hope] works with one press/up on any OS and SketchUp version. So if you have any v2026 TAB annoyance you can now just press/up the Shift key instead to open the dialogs. Please try it and report any issues. I've updated the More-Info>Release-Notes and the toolset's Help HTML files to reflect these changes.

    @ramiduscz Hi, Which texture replacer are you using ? ThomThom's 'material replacer' (works like a charm, although you need to replace materials one by one. It respects UV's if tou hit the Ctrl key. [https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/4137f7fc-a81f-4ef9-9ec8-b6dd8a0d9086/material-replacer](link url)

    @L-i-am said in Having a bad day?: Hi Guys have not been very active of late as I am temporally on a med that completely stifles creativity, hence no sketchup. However this appeared on facebook. It made me smile from ear to ear. Careful though it can be I know how you feel. I had some surgery a few months ago and am trying to get back too SketchUp. As @rich-o-brien and a couple of others can tell you, I have been having some problems getting back into it. Trying to use some features that I either have not used before (or at least for a long time) and have asked some pretty silly/dumb questions. However, I am determined to learn/get back with it. Hope all is well with you and you can get back with it. I know you have posted some great work in the past and you will get there again.

    @FlorinAp This change was intentional. Over time the changes to the built-in Extensions Manager made it so much like our own that there seemed little purpose in the duplication. The loss of 'Sets' for the Extensions was decided on balance to be acceptable, because changes in how the SketchUp API allowed dynamic extension status setting has meant that our version was error prone. when doing this. Also the use of 'Sets' remains possible from within our Plugins Manager - because all extensions are also plugins [loading from a .RB file] it allows you to manipulate them in the same way with 'Sets' within that dialog...

    Does your set up meet the requirements listed here ? https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/system-requirements The fact that it runs OK on a similar machine suggests that something is 'missing' in the set up with the problems - hardware or software ?

    Is it possible to start a new thread or category for asking "how to" questions for Animator. I think I have recently learned a lot of very useful information, but I still have a number of questions that I have not been able to find answers to. Yes, I can do a lot of testing but there are topics where other users might be able to provide good feedback/advice for.

    I have been testing MyArchtectureAI quite some. I also purchased the Pro version with unlimited credits. In my case the results are not that great even when doing editing. There are just too many random AI stuff happening. I just tested Archfine.com and it gave excellent results. There was editing needed because AI didn't get creative. Unfortunately it was not possible to do more test because it was possible to do only 1 test render with the free version. It seems that the solutions (Visoid, Archfine, Viz Maker) that use NanoBananaPro are giving the best results. https://vizmaker.vizacademy.co.uk/ has also somekind of integration with Sketchup but it seems to just export the image, no material info or anything. Viz Maker has also quite good edit possibilities.
