@john2 said: I haven't done any of the financial activities as far as the eps or pdf outputs of sketchup are concerned. The output is taken from a software called Adobe Illustrator. everything created with SketchUp, regardless if further processed with another application, is bound to the license terms agreed by you, transfering to another application for the final, commercially used export is obviously a commercial usage too

sorry I wasn't clear... what I was suggesting is you save the base geometry as a new separate component... in the topo model it will still have layers, but not in the component... you would need two components if water and land are separate entities... if you upload a simple example we would understand your goal better... john

OMG I LOVE YOU. Thank you so much! I didn't think it was that simple, thank you so much for the explanations! Still have a lot to learn.

thank you very much for the explanation. This means that any type of classification can be assigned to components, even custom made ones, for other purposes that are out of the building standards, if I want to use those classifications to make some reports using the built-in report tool that is in SU PRO?

I second that! Profile builder can let you easily tweak these profile's shape width/length、placement、mirror、material in one step with one click,very slick!

It does on a per plugin level and that info is not exposed anywhere other than to manage the bundles. Even the dashboard for authors doesn't list it which is where you think it would be of value. I know Gabor added it for the API so authors could query from within their code but we don't collate to see who's using what on what version. Fredo is probably the most active in utilizing the API in his tools.

I tried to id the 2016 scripts via Sketchucation Extension Manager but it wouldn't recognise them. I remembered one may have been Smustard and other perhaps J. Dolabany so I downloaded each of those. I recall one suited me better than the other. Both are .rb files. I'm not clear about you last question. Couldn't I clear out and start again with your guidance?:)

Maybe this ? For SU Make [image: cercles_seg.jpg] [image: cercles1_seg.jpg]

@drumbliss said: It seems likely that the following error message from Install-CheckUp.exe references an incorrect MS Hotfix: [image: Screenshot%202016-12-07%2002.50.23.png] It appears the necessary Hotfix is KB2999226, not KB299926, as that's what comes up in all web-searches. I have not been able to verify this via installation, but KB299926 does not appear to exist. which version of Window are you using? Also, 32-bit or 64-bit?

Following up on this. Apparently in my system turning off antialising of textures made the issue go away. I am laying blame on the graphics card. [image: RvcM_Antialiasing.PNG]

I'm psychic. I'm happy that gave you the fix.

Put your image in other place then link it! https://postimg.org https://s6.postimg.cc/lg1z7yzdd/Sans_titre_17.jpg with the balise of the forum [image: img.gif] that's giving that! (with the ultra fun Deck Builder by Sdmitch) [image: Sans_titre_17.jpg]

Windows 7, SP1. I didn't have any "critical updates" due, and "Hotfix KB299926" doesn't seem to exist. All searches for this Update come up with "KB2999226" which has an extra "2". I've now been trying to install the latter, but the Windows Updater always hangs during the install. Having to shift my priorities elsewhere for the moment, but will report if/ how this is fixed. A graphics card update may be in order (as you suggested on SU's forum). Thanks.

The cylinders need to be a fixed size as they already exist. It's a matter of finding the ideal diameter where there is equal spacing @ all edges.

I generally use TIG's TIG-Weld plugin to weld edges together to make them easy to select. This other benefits, too, such as when extruding a face with Push/Pull or Follow Me.

Thx guys I'll try it out.

I have a similar inquiry. Probably would lead to the same thing though. I built a vault door for a bank (it's old school), but it also has a small glass door in the inside of it that opens to adjust the mechanics. Was wondering if it's possible to be able to open the glass door on the back, even though it's nested under the same component as the vault door too. So far I've tried assigning attributes to parts of the vault door, so if you click a piece of the vault door, it rotates the whole thing, but haven't had any luck with that. But if I assign the attribute the whole component, I can't get the glass door to open. Anyone have any clues? I'm very much a noob at this!
