    With a bit of work with the ACME tool as a base you could get close. [image: 1Dx3B1m.png] [image: Nyd55LO.png] Obviously spend more time than I did but its to give an example

    @matte said: I tried Thom Thom's (Version 15) to convert tri's to quads, but nothing is happening? I don't mind buying a plugin Its free. @matte said: I only know how to import the .OBJ files into sketchup. Use the OBJ importer included with QuadFace Tools when importing and see if it imports the mesh as Quads @matte said: I did a lot of "you must be crazy" cleanup of things, Cleaning meshes in SketchUp only reduces file size but tends to mess with the normals @matte said: So far it is working, I just need to learn how it works better. You are on the right track. Brute force it and learn as you go. I would import the OBJ into Blender and then export the it to OBJ because Quadface Tools OBJ Importer respects Blender Quads. That's presuming the mesh is quad compliant already. If not. you can convert tris to quads in Blender with ALT+J then export.

    I assume you mean tag folders? Unfortunately the tag folders are not saved as part of the component.

    @gerry mc said: No rhyme or reason. I am just trying to understand this stuff by follow the directions to the best of my ability and apparently I can't do that right. I am not a natual at this. I struggle with this when I feel I shouldn't be. Case in point, I agree with all three of you that it is to easy to mess up, a no brainer and I'm probably the only person to have this problem, it would not surprise me. I only asked because you actually aren't the only person to have this problem. (Sorry. You aren't unique in this regard. ) I was curious if there were some faulty instructions out there somewhere that led you to think that opening the .rbz file was the right way to install the extension. It almost wouldn't surprise me if someone posted instructions like that. I've seen similar bad tutorials. It's good that you've got it all sorted now. Remember to use the SCF ExtensionStore to install any extensions you get from here. Simple and direct and it'll help you keep extensions up to date when authors update them.

    The license management is tied to the user account. You will be able to validate license files and release seats from within SketchUp. How your company allocates license files is entirely up to them. But access to https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php is associated with the user account that purchased. So your company will also be able to release seats through our online release tool. You will be limited to seat release with SketchUp. Another thing to consider is that any license related issues will need to come from the user account. We can't provide support to a user with no licenses assigned to their account. Just a few things to be aware of in terms of making life easy. If you do find yourself in a pickle with licenses/seats just get your company to email us support@sketchucation.com and cc you in the mail so we can chat with you on their behalf.

    The recommended glue for floating installation is Tongue and Groove engineered flooring glue. Glue placement is very important. The glue must be placed along the topside of the groove the full length of the grooved side and end.he answer clicker counter to your question is yes you can relay the flooring but it all depends in which way it was laid originally and how successful you are at lifting the floor. I hope this helps is specifically formulated for all types of engineered floating wood and laminate floating floors, even over radiant heat systems. It provides a superior bond at the tongue and groove. Due to its white color, the glue is easy to see for quick cleanup.

    "What is not flat? Are you are referring to the component orientation?" yes I need to put the piece on the platform of my mill. ok, changing axes seems to be the solution, referring to the only vertical line (except the inner triangle) to do so. The result: [image: CIxo_Axeschanged.JPG]

    I think I figured out my "NO curve in the selection" issue. I had to select the line and then convert it to curve using BZ-Convert to -> Classic Bezier curve. This seemed to group it in a way that CurviShear could read. Thank you all for the responses
