OK, now I can change the settings for the grass, but I don't get any grass when I render the scene!? Hmmm, I still have some problems and I preciate some more help.

Work Plane by TIG ?

Yes that works. Excellent work. Very Nice.

Win7 64bit: IE-11 Firefox-30 Chrome-37 All the same - show 31.

It seems simple to me. Don't try to sample the material through the section plane. It's simple enough to turn off the section plane so it isn't in the way. You can't sample a material through other planes in SketchUp either. This doesn't seem like a bug to me.

This one-liner, when run in the Ruby Console, assigns every entity inside every group/component definition to 'Layer0' - irrespective of the depth of the nesting - i.e. geometry, other instances/groups etc... m=Sketchup.active_model;m.start_operation('!');m.definitions.each{|d|next if d.image?;d.entities.each{|e|e.layer=nil}};m.commit_operation It is one step undo-able. Objects within the model.entities itself are not changed...

Sounds good, I will try it tomorrow when back at work. Thanks

I see the error is the same except the scenarios are different. What I can now tell is that I haven't uninstalled the old Windows, as I wanted to see the differences and I was a bit reserved about this ssd(second hand bought). So I accessed the old Windows and guess what? No error when I wake it up from sleep and also the time for waking up is shorter,way shorter- it wakes up almost instantly. On the old Windows , I didn't had all the updates installed, but the Nvidia driver was up to date. I assume there is a problem with the Windows updates.. It wouldn't be such a big problem, but I have the habit of putting the computer at sleep for at least two, three times a day, letting all the programs opened. Unsuspected are the ways of IT ! Edit 1 I have found that on the old Windows, OpenGL is version 1 and on the new one is 3.3 . Where does the OpenGL versions comes from ? I'll have to search for the patch that updates the OpenGl version. Edit 2 They are now both versions 3.3, but there is something different, they are different... and I have same stuff installed on both versions. The one that is from july is the one that works fine... [image: HSL5_Untitled-1.jpg] [image: nUjn_Untitled-2old.jpg]

And don't miss the last version of Joint PushPull interactive by Fredo 6, it's PushPull on steroïds!

It's also in the PluginStore here at SCF... Why not post in its thread at SCF if you have questions relating to it...

<facepalm> It works. Don't know why I never thought of that. Must be one of those days!! Thanks TIG

I also use a Quadro 4000. Great graphics card that reads well the "polygonal". I have not noticed a malfunction with SU 2014, but you should to inform the support of Trimble.

That did it! Thanks a lot for the heads up. I didn't realise Sketchup had made a secondary folder elsewhere. Noted for next time! Cheers.

Cool speedy race!

Instead of using the follow me tool you might want to just create a cylinder with multiple vertical sections (Push Pull Tool + ctrl key) then scale(S) and move the sections as needed. The Follow Me tool would be the quickest and relatively easiest way to make a turret, but you have to do it correctly or you will get odd results. Just keep in mind when using the follow me tool that you will have two objects. One will be the profile of the turret and the second will be the path it follows (circle). These objects do not physically connect with each other. The circle is just a reference of for the profile to follow. Be sure to select the circle first, then select the follow me tool, and lastly select the profile of the turret and you should get the results you are looking for. If the turret needs to be smoother than the results you are getting, before using the follow me tool go to the Window drop down menu and open the Entity Info window. Select your circle and you will see in the Entity Info that the default number of segments in your circle is 24 (which means your turret will end up having 24 segments as well...), but you can type in as many segments as you want so get smoother results.

A quick read of the help section of their website shows that the plugin is only compatible with SU7 and SU8. https://getsatisfaction.com/igloostudios/topics/product_connect_installation_failed_on_sketchup_pro_2014?utm_medium=widget%26amp;utm_source=widget_igloostudios

Oops somebody got to it while I was typing... Box is right though. Use the sketchucation plugin installer.
