You should read here.

I use 3skeng on a daily basis, however, I don't use the Steel work, but the piping libraries... You can purchase additional libraries, so I suggest you write to 3skeng support...

Thanks a lot for the help guys! I've been playing with the Solid Inspector, which works like a charm! It works that great that I no longer need stuff like Netfabb to fix the model.

@tt_su said: @notareal said: Don't recall if Thea for SU had actually crashed SU for me (but I am using a old SU8), still there been reports (at Thea forums) that v-ray for SU and Thea for SU together may result a crash (SU 2013 & OS X). If just Thea for SU where used, everything where fine. Tomasz probably do know better, if there further details on this. Multiple render engines together has historically been known to increase chance of crashes - usually due to competing observers working at the same time affecting the model. Sounds feasible. Maybe some more robust method than observers is needed (if not already exist).

Have you changed networks since? I know you travel a bit. Did you open SU2014 somewhere else and now you are opening it in a different network? Or did you change you network settings at all recently?

Here are some SKM collections of mine... Apologizes if I missed off any credits... Color-Standards[RAL-EnglishNames].zip Color-Standards[Ilog].zip Color-Standards[Pantone].zip Color-Standards[Sherwin-Williams].zip Color-Standards[NBS-IBCC].zip

I'm having the same problem and can't seem the find a solution. I'll follow.

Maybe it'll make more sense on a full stomach, too.

I want to embed the pdf so I can work with the lines in AI

It was noticed earlier (maybe version 13) that if you place a custom material folder with the same name as a SU default folder into your user/materials folder, then SU will only show the default folder. I rename all my custom folders so then the material browser will show both. My browser is full of cladding (the default) and cladding 1 (my cladding folder that I have been adding to for years), roofing and roofing 1 etc. It makes the browser crowded but it works.

@box said: You can use Jim' custom toolbar to add a view up bottom button. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10041 Yep. I just found that. Thanks for the replies. I got it going.

I'm sure it will be resolved soon.

Thanks guys, I'll try and see what happens.

@box said: I think he wants a shortcut for the toolbar not the tool. Well, he can't have it ! Toolbar states are not shortcut-able. He could write a script to toggle the toolbar on/off and then shortcut to that script's entry in a menu... But he needs to find the toolbar to do that... There are a few better methods for v2014, but it's still not easy...

You can "extrude" the selected lines with the fabulous "Projections" plugin by Didier Bur Then Intersections with anything will be more easy! Last icon [image: file.php?id=30105]

@ntxdave said: Well I "cleaned up" both of the SKP files and still have the same problem. It has to be something in the receiving file because I imported into a new file and it worked fine. The "consolidated" file is too big to post to here. It is 9.5Mb and the limit is 4Mb. Wish I could figure this out. For now I just use multiple files in my LayOut document which is OK but I can see in the future that I am going to be doing this many times. I will try to find a combination that fails and is small enough for me to post here. I appreciate the education everyone has given me. How does everyone learn all of this stuff? Well, I have figured out which file is causing the problem but now I have to try to figure out what is causing it. The "base file" (a top view of all of the equipment in the model). I can consolidate all of the other files without a problem. I purged the unused stuff from all of the files and even clicked on the "fix problems" button and no problems were found (in any of the four files I am trying to merge). Guess for now I will have to live with things the way they are

Not sure why, but there's this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=40397

the only solution I was able to find, it was using/drawing 2 ellipses. 1º draw in X plan 2º draw in high in Y plan 3º revolve or loft. but in this solution I get an ugly regular elliptical shape.
