Well, it's an oldie but a goodie. I remember it when I hopped on at SU v6.

It may have been on another forum? Like Twilight or something (I also remember...)

@rich o brien said: Thomthom has a Batch Registry command thing that clear the reg Worked like a charm. Just have to reset the toolbar positions and I think I'm good to go. There must have been several 100 toolbar positions in the registry and deleting them by hand would have been tedious. Been working on some rather massive skp files here and I think the crashes and bug splats were the cause. Thanks Rich and ThomThom!

Nice job. Only thing: at 1:09 you show the building reflection before you explain how. Great demonstration to get pool texture, sky, and surrounding all in the reflection. Another touch is to add a swirl in PP. Simple with free Online Pixlr editor (Filter / Water Swirl)--for stills only, not animation. Another PP note: I found that images (like your trees) come through transparent textures or faces much more sharply than the other objects, so you have to find a way to tone them down. Thanks for posting this. (Edit: looking at this post and image later--there's something confusing with the reflection line if you look at the rear of the pool. I think either the mirror plane is too low or you need to make the side of the pool below water translucent, or both.) [image: T8YR_Screenshot2012-08-08at9.png]

If you are working over a [slow] network or perhaps on a memory-stick etc the time-out in the saves can dump a SKB in an alternative location - like ../Plugins/... When a SKB is made there's some file shuffling with the names and file-types so a temp name is used. Hence the odd names like '2.skb'...

good day guys! im just a beginner in sketchup and i found the plugin sectioncutface very useful in video.when i download it and followed all the steps in you tube everything is there but when i try to render it already its not showing the cut section. im just only searching for answers in you tube but even i follow all the steps , still when i will try to render it, nothing change. thank you so much for your time

No. It's not. I was just using your term. You're welcome. I hope that does what you need.

Have you tried Artisan or SubdivideAndSmooth ? These would smooth and allow you to predefine 'creased' [sharp] edges too...

Frodo makes the ONERINGLIB plugin, lots of folks looking for it but he's being stingy with it. There's no LIBFRODO plugin, though. Sorry.

Yes, Thank You for that. Paul

Thank you Dave, that is really good advice. This is somewhat similar to Creator, but a little different in the means of making the group and sub group. Your advice is very good. I have been doing most of this, but I didn't know I could wrap it all together to make the nested version. Thanks again...

ACT can add a camera and its 'frustum' that is so big, that it makes the model's bounds so big, that it instigates the clipping issue !

I recently got a small stainless-steel puzzle-box made in three pieces, and I was surprised how heavy and 'metallic' it was - they use real metal powder, bound with resins, then the final form is 'tumbled' to polish it, so it comes out just like 'real' s/s... I was very pleased with it. The surface finish will never be shiny smooth, but I think that won't detract from this bracelet's appearance anyway.

How lovely, thank you!

Thank you for pointing me into the right direction.
