Drag the frame of the dialog larger to see the rest of it. Some systems have a small default setting, once resized it should stay that way.

In an ancient version of SketchUp. Since Google sold SketchUp there is no longer that option but you can export the model as a KMZ file which you can open in Google Earth.

Hello, drafter, The reason the camera zooms is because after the last domino falls, it unfortunately penetrates the ground, and keeps falling until it makes the camera bounds too large for the view. What you can do is adjust simulation settigns to prevent the unwanted penetration. To make adjustements to simulation settings, open MSPhysics UI, activate Simulation tab, and do the following: Change Update Timestep to "x1/2 (1/120)" Change World Scale to 10 Also, unrelated to MSPhysics, I noticed the camera was set to parallel projection. You can change it to perspective if thats desired, by navigativing to and selecting (Menu) Camera->Perspective. Anton

@maxvector9 said: I'm using SU 2017, and my toolbars are not saving after restarting Sketchup. Is there a reason that this problem is occurring, and is there are workaround? There's always a reason for everything. You don't give any information about your computer or its operating system so a fix is difficult to offer. Maybe a reinstall is in order. You don't need a workaround. The toolbars should stay in place on their own. It's an incredibly rare thing to have toolbars moving on their own since SU2013 so there's something about your system that needs sorting.

MOi3D is very similar to rhino,in rhino if i make every elements as a block,i get the same sesult in Su,but i see,it is easyer as u said anyway ,thx

@hellnbak said: Thanks Jim, but if that's the one I came across when I was researching this question, didn't it have a problem working on any version prior to 2016? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. I don't think so since I never released my extension. I just tried it and it works fine in SketchUp 2015.

Wow,thank you pilou for your effort! It looks very promising. I'll try it out in the evening.

@unknownuser said: but it is not easy to isolate all those triangles to make a square Very easy! Look at your model : you have all horizontal & vertical parallal lines!

The way I would do it, simply, is to make a solid component that is exactly the same shape on its perimeter as your custom window, but a few inches thick. I would not use the custom window component itself as that probably has far too much detail in it and that makes the next steps harder. Place the template on the wall where you want it and move it into the outer wall surface about 1/2 way the template thickness. Edit the wall, select the wall surface only, and Intersect with Model. That will create a face that matches the window profile. Delete the template or move it away if you need it again. That will show you the window outline on the wall. Select it and Push/Pull it to the inner wall surface. That will create the window opening in the wall. Place a copy of the custom window in the opening.

@bob james said: @jim said: Bob, if you happened to add that Layer using my Add Layer extension, it may have been set to be not visible for any new Layers added to the model. Any chance of that? Thank you, Jim, but I just right-clicked on the scene tab The Layers Panel extension may also have the ability to add Layers which are off on new Scenes. Did you get the model from someone else who may have used either extension? It would be interesting to examine the actual model.

Yes, but that box is not checked and it doesn't loop to the beginning. It loops to a scene that is no longer there.

Dave, That's what I figured was happening. So far, I am IMMENSELY happy with 2017. Whether real or not, everything feels a lot more "zippy"! Ralph Richards, Fowkes & Co. Organbuilders

you may also try the flowify plugins for this kind of stuff, wich is sort of shape bender on steroids

This is very nice!

Yeah, it's cool, but I have to think out mine. But thanks, I analyze proportions and try make another.

Thanks folks!. Yes you can. I've been doing it for years and it works exceptionally well. Matt Donley and I co-authored a book on my process. You can see it here http://www.sketchupbook.com

@juju said: Another approach I, for one, did not consider. Any way one can start incorporating the creation of return reveals (thickness, so when cut through in plan illustrates correctly) and lintels as well? Alternatively call it using a ruby that does the extra things you want / need including exploding the cutting component and removing it. It depends on how much detail one requires, the lintels can be incorporated, the linings/reveals would be better as part of the window install, a window DC set to scale and nested two deep to survive the double explosion is doable. Then that can be swapped with a detailed one, client choice. Will give it a go over the weekend, plus add the insulation factor. Philip

probably not with the mobile viewers but maybe with a future release of the my.SketchUp.com browser version (currently WIP).
