@derek edison said: Export the model to DAE to get the texture. It appears that it's the same texture for both colors so just double click the tag color in the Tag tray to get the RGB values for each color. Now that was a quick resolution. Thank you! Exporting to dae and importing it back allowed me to pick the paint with the eyedropper.

Making sure the width and height are divisible by 4 seems to work for me.

OK - I just went into the SketchUcation Tools and it now seems to be working fine. In fact, I now see that it is the latest version. Not sure why there was a problem before, but I appreciate the responses.

What are you doing with the section planes in your model. Section planes don't actually cut through the model. It's more like an X-ray imaging of a body. What do you mean by "I don't seem to be able to export a section view of my model that has multiple groups with any accuracy"? It would help if you'd upload an example SketchUp model file so we can see what you are working with. What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile says 2018 Free/Make which is impossible as there never has been a version like that.

I always find I'm adjusting shadows anyway for time, date, etc. I can't imagine how having shadows turned on with the style would really save me any time.

Well, all of your replies helped fixing the issue! Much obliged

@box said: You can have multiple instances of both open at the same time, the difference is Mac opens each within the Ap while windows opens another 'window'. Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

@spreadcore said: Yes, I am. I don't particularly like using programs that I have to be online to use. So I don't use the newest ver. SketchUp 8 works just fine for the little stuff I do. Since you are a hobbyist you could use SketchUp 2017 Make. You don't have to be online to use it.

Oups ! I should have seen that... Thanks Dave !

It uses Google Search but limits search reults to sketchucation.com. It works for me. Do you have some browser extension related to ad blocking that prevents it from loading? [image: myBfJlB.png]

If you are using layers correctly Layer0 should remain as the active layer and shouldn't effect your scenes. If you are using layers incorrectly anything is possible. Attach your model so we can see what you have.

Trim ! That's the one ! Thanks a lot Box !

Select the dimension and edit the font colour in the entity info window. Or edit the default settings in Window/Model info/Dimensions.

@garystan said: I want to set how bright each light is. Some bright......some dimmed. Thanks Are you talking about rendering? If so, what rendering application?

That can be useful although you then need to either escape or undo the label if you don't want to leave it there.

Sorry ! I updated my profile

Hopefully one or the other of those methods works for you. Have a great Christmas, too. Enjoy the beach. The water is already too hard at our little "beach."

Thanks Box ! Stay safe ! Pascal
