Nick you welcome to checkout my website. I have a few 3d images under gallery and some on YouTube if there is something you like let me know and I can sent the model to you.

Genius Tig, it works!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help

Okay well I've just checked firewall settings and they are fine, no security issues whatsoever, however I still end up with a blank window for the 3Dwarehouse, which oddly... [image: Su14screenshotblankwarehouse.png] The Extensions Warehouse loads perfectly fine for me. [image: Su14screenshotExtensionswarehouseseemsfine.png] Any ideas as to what is going on, is it anything that I can change on my user end that wouldn't require a re-download of SU14, program uninstall, re-install, and all that hassle? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Matt, What is your experience, training, education? With CAD software just about anyone can create floor plans. But do you actually know what you are drawing? As a former Architectural Instructor and presently an Intern Architect and Architectural Designer I do work for both residential clients and architects who use my services for drafting and design to produce SD's, DD's & CD's. So asking where you can get floor plans to create houses to add to your portfolio, are you simply copying plans or actually building models from work you personally have created? Feel free to email me: will@globerds.net or call me - 724-914-5888 Will

Thanks again!

You'll learn. You are sort of jumping in with both feet. There are tutorials and so on, you know. But these are really simple models. It'll begin to make sense after a while. Look for the translucent materials by opening the Materials window and choosing Texture Palettes. pull down the menu and choose "Translucent".

@dave r said: @pipinek said: Attached-please find a picture - the only button present is that in the middle. It would help if you'd show which extensions don't have a More Info button. All of the ones in your screenshot appear to have them. Thank you. I presented the extension window of one of machines. On which all icons has been visible. Not the other one. TIG's suggestion has solves the isdue.

@mamattos said: Hello! I've been using SU 2020 and having the same trouble... Probably the easiest thing would be to do the labeling in LayOut where you can select what level you want to identify. In this example Bookstand is the top level, Top Easel Assembly is the next level down and Top easel panel is the lowest level. [image: XZh4_Screenshot-3_29_20207_19_44PM.png]

You see to want all integers so turning them from integers to strings and back again looks logical... Then you can use +1 to increment the integers... BUT if you wanted 'combined references' you can use say: data = "A01" Then later increment the string thus: data.next! which gives "A02" The Ruby method .next increments strings, so x="A"; x.next!; x; "B" etc... .next returns the string incremented but leaves the original reference unchanged, adding the ! as in .next! also increments the reference itself.

Thank you all. I had copied the window out of a larger model and I was amazed about the thousands of edges. After I had exloded the whole component the problem was solved.

Well, Sketchup seems to think that you have two different IP addresses. Do you have peer blocker or something similar running? perhaps some firewall?

Thanks guys! Great!

@cotty said: You can use the VCB to specify the offset (see page 13). I know this. But this is not what I want to ask. You can see that after push/pull a curved surface, distance between a point in new created face and its origin in old surface is not equal to offset. I think that it may be more accurate if we could make offset 'mean' the distance between these point. I not sure and am asking for opinion.

Thanks alot Jim! You just saved me from wasting a lot of time. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, I misread Mike. Solid advice for sure.

You can model the background and project the textures to it.

So it sounds like you do not store your Components on disc, but just keep them in-model? I'd be afraid a crash could cause the model and all components to be lost.

In PC versions older than v2014 there are often issues with security permissions to the Plugins too... See this on how to set it up properly for v8 http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/36-intermediate/811-setting-security-permissions-in-sketchup In v2014 the folder should automatically be made by SketchUp for each User, with FULL permissions... The Plugins > SketchUcation fool at the end of the list will open the Plugins folder for you so you can actually see what is installed - although you should never need to manually mess with its contents if you use the AutoInstall features available to you...

Thank Cotty and Krisidious for the tools information I can use all I can get, I want to learn to model cleanly. Krisidious Thanks for liking the house, I wanted to try a style I have not seen modeled a million times already. I'm going to add the landscaping and pool next.
