Extension Warehouse and Extension Manager also moved under Extensions. @dave r said: You might find it useful to go through the Release Notes for 2021.1 to see what else has changed.

So no internal details needed. I guess I would use the CAD file as a reference and redraw from scratch. There are excessive numbers of segments on many of the curves in the import and they will not add anything useful to the model. As I suggested, for the cones, you can use Curviloft to create the surfaces. Since this is going to be used as entourage in your studio model, resist the urge to go crazy with the small details that won't be seen anyway.

Could it be a plugin/extension in 2018 causing the issue, that is not in 2020? I would recommend using 2021 if possible. There has been a lot of 'under the hood' improvements with bug fixes etc.

Also be aware that edits can break a curve apart into individual segments, losing its original identity as a single curve. In that situation pushpull will generate unsoftened edges from each segment end. You can use the eraser tool to soften them afterward.

You aren't painting a group or component are you?

@pilou said: You can resize your object by 1000 then use CleanUp by Thomthom it finds many problems and repears Then Joint PushPull by Fredo for give a thickness Then solid Solver by Tig But despit of that seems there are always problems, too little surfaces, maybe intersect faces etc... where does this object come from? An unfolding one ?... Thanks Piloe, its the result of an intersection with two solids from a topographic survey but its a complete mess. I just spend 3 hours to do it manually and finally managed to get a clean solid (joint push pull V) I guess there is no easy way when you get a shape like this

Hi Mike, hi folks. That's a good one.

Use original one

Which weld extension are you referring to? Is this different that the built-in Weld feature? It would be helpful if you shared a file that shows this behavior.

You can use the 3D Text tool to put text on faces in the model. Keep in mind that it can add lots of geometry and bloat your model file. Or you can use the Text tool to add labels that have leaders anchored to faces.

I still not 100% sure what are you trying to get. Understand: You can drape any object on any surface. If z values are not ok, then adjust the surface

When I tried that I was able to open my model file but only in read-only mode. I went to my File Explorer and clicked on it to open and was able to edit the model and save it. Don't have any idea what I did to start. Thanks for the feedback, guys!!

TIG has such plugins i think. Go to 'PluginStore' here, filter plugins by author (TIG) and read descriptions.

I just did. Unfortunately I can only select one Operating System though I have both, Mac and Windows available to work with. I selected Windows as I guess this is the less limiting variant - I saw at least some extensions only available for Windows.

Thanks Tig for your additional explanation - well, we are a decentralised company and I am always connected to the servers in this company with my computer. I load my files from these servers and save them there as well. When I am in the office, I have the server right around the corner. At the moment, however, I have been in home office for a few months. (as already mentioned, before SkUp 2021, this phenomenon never occurred for me)

Probably because the component you have created was initially locked an axis. Select the definition in the Component-Browser and Edit it to remove its 'axial-locking' [aka 'Glue-to']. You could also select an instance and edit its 'axial-locking' [aka 'Glue-to'] in its right-click > context-menu...

Unchecked it perfect now , thanks very much

As Box wrote, lots of ways to do it. You could selected the edge of the hole and move it down, too.
