Great help with Components, Dave. Didn't know SketchUp could make one hungry!

Well it's better, I think I may still have to play around with ThruPaint some more. [image: cgaR_OceanHousecopy2.jpg]

Than you very much. I will try some experiment and also search other forums and than when i realize sth. i will post here.

To add to what Dave wrote, there are a lot of reasons to hang onto the previous version even after you have installed the new one and it is working. You never know what issues you might run into with the new version or how soon the authors will update your favorite extensions for compatibility. You might simply prefer the way something worked in the previous version! A purchased single-user license never expires. I ditch the old versions only if disk space gets tight or they are hopelessly obsolete.

import this into your stairs file... Stairs.skp ...your model is a bit of a mess.

@zain01 said: Thanks Dave Got it My other gripe is when searching in Extension warehouse it doesn't find the plugins you want. I dont know whether its a case sensitive thing or you have to type exactly the name. See the example section cut face and it doesn't find it and this seems to happen to a lot of plugins i search for. Or maybe its because the signature has expired. Please let me know your thoughts and thanks again for your time. Z I'm curious as to what it is that gave you the idea that all extensions would be hosted there. Especially since I'm sure you've gotten extensions from Sketchucation. You should install the Sketchucation Extension Store found under Resources at the top of this page. Then let it install extensions from here automatically.

It just seems to be sticking up (from looking at the picture). Use the move tool to move that vertex or vertices back down to be consistent with the rest or erase the edges and retrace that area.

Thanks for your response. I figured out the issue I was having. I downloaded a new plugin which I assume was conflicting with other plugins. I deleted this and it fixed the issue. I can copy and paste again!

Looks typical of a graphics card issue. Try updating the drivers. Radeon cards and their drivers are well-known for their inadequate support of OpenGL. With previous versions of SketchUp this could be mitigated by turning off Hardware Acceleration and using CPU or software rendering. With SU2017 having a graphics card that is up to the job is critical because there is no CPU or software rendering.

Both (SketchUcation PluginStore and Trimble Extension Warehouse) have functions to automate this task. With these, most of the plugins are already covered and the installation of the newest versions only take some seconds...

Hello, In dimension attributes you must invert the dimensions from positive to negative. For a mirror on the X axis, LenX must change from 100 to -100 for example. See you soon David

I think it's in inches and the width is associated to the bounding box.

I just tried it and it works. Great find.

Did you re-try logging in?

Seems there is also a plugin for video + sound!

I see it now.

Using large coordinates is a nightmare in most of the 3d programs and SketchUp is no exception. Clipping issues, z-fighting issues guaranteed. The only solution (that I know of) is to use a fixed translation (just write it down somewhere) for your project. Maybe your GIS app can do it for you already when exporting? Otherwise you have to do it in SketchUp yourself. Most of the time I just load the new parts in a separate SketchUp file, do the translation and then copy past it into the main file. edit: typo
