@rfox said: I was having an installation problem since the day i purchased, I use "regular" Windows 7 Ultimate. email the issue to them, got couple of feedbacks but it didn't seem help. I try to contact them several times....no respond.such a bad developer. at least they give me some good technical explanation regarding the issue. The problem was a know SketchUp problem regarding a dll conflict between Sketchup ruby standard library and zlib1.dll on your windows system. It toke us some time to figure this out because problems with SketchUp and/or the operating system aren't always easy to find and to solve because they have nothing to do with our code. In this case the problem was also not reproducible on our own windows system. When we found the problem and the solution I've send you a mail about the solution like it was logged in the Sketchup beta forum. The solution had nothing to do with our code. Apparently you were not able to solve the problem yourself. After your complain on sketchUcation we contacted you again to do a join.me session and solved your problem even it wasn't a Skalp problem at all. But we like to keep our customers happy. I hope you can now enjoy Skalp like it's meant to be. The Skalp Team.

Maybe, but there are other components that apply the same attributes based on different inputs that aren't creating unique instances. I would think both would be affected if an attribute was the cause.

I made a script for t his years ago.. model-id.rb Each model on the 3DWarehouse has a unique ID. Visit the model in the 3D Warehouse, copy the ID and paste it in the Model ID plugin dialog. Then when you upload the model, it will replace the one on the 3D Warehouse. [image: mF3B_2014-06_66.png] [image: jSW1_2014-06_67.png]

Thanks, I was using "quad" as search word.

It's hard to tell if that's the right solution since we still can't see your image but if you're happy with it, that's cool.

Many thanks to Dave R for the answer. Yes, I had made a bad choice of shortcut key. What a dipstick....I only used x I think I was having a bad day Regards...Dick.

ok - so i re-launched sketchup today and tried curviloft along spline and like magic the toolbar came back. but when i tried selecting edges with the loft along path tool to check out the offset option mentioned above, the progress bar returned. maybe i need to find info on exactly how to use the loft along path tool. but the bigger issue for me is needing to click two faces and instantly create an offset with equal width as i build ductwork systems from measurements i take from 2d cad-created duct layouts. no time to build a path between faces. thank you for your time gents.

Apart from Previous, I often use Hide when I bump into something. You need a shortcut key for it tho. I use H, clever huh?

Thanks TIG! I will put in a good word for you if I die first.

John,,,, What can I say,,,,, whew, worked great!!! Sometimes I scare myself with my dumbness......! Mike

No, but I didn't spend much time on it.

Ah. You didn't say TEXT box in your first post. That's a different story. Perhaps it's an OpenGL setting thing. You might try changing the settings and see if the behavior changes. I've never seen the tips display like that.

Coincidentally I posted a clay image on my blog today: [image: Bathroom-clay2.jpg] (Rendered with IRender nXt using the Clay Rendering option) The sketchy edges do not reflect in the mirror properly. We have another option to render edges which would handle reflections properly, but it only works with non-sketchy edges. If you want Sketchy edges - it is best not to include this obvious of a reflection.
