Got a reply finally. They don't know why. It's been forwarded to the 'appropriate teams'.

Thanks!! I'll try and get back to you

Curviloft is very simple too.

Thanks for the help. I will look through what you have done so I can see how to do it. I have to set up a rotation on the equipment knuckle. Getting Axis properly aligned has always been a fun problem for this component. Now I have an easy unit to modify in my models.

you can download the latest version 2015 x32/x64 from our SUP download archive, ENglish (and DE) only.

If the text is all different components, you could use Subtract from either the native Solid Tools or better, Eneroth Solid Tools or you could create the text without extrusion and without fill. Place the components where you need them on the face.... [image: kRge_Screenshot-3_7_20197_48_35AM.png] ...and explode the text components. Then use Push/Pull to pull up the face surrounding the text leaving the text itself recessed. You would need to also hit inside the closed letters and numbers although you could use Joint Push/Pull if you wanted. [image: BBSE_Screenshot-3_7_20197_51_11AM.png]

This issue happens can you import CAD files and drape them. It's always been a bug and it lingers still. I would recommend using EdgeTools and clean up any little bits and shards in your CAD file. Then you can try also running it on your topo after draping. This doesnt always work but it gets a good amount of unclean cuts. You can also bet that arcs tend to have this issue when draping. To find the culprit, I turn on hidden and start painting my areas, you will eventually find where the bleeder is and fix the teeny-tiny edge that did not cut cleanly. Also try Fredo's Edge Inspector.

For years I have requested a way to have saved work spaces in SketchUp. This could even include customized Menu items, that way you have categorized your plugins. Send Trimble an email and make this a priority for them!

@dave r said: I use the CutList extension and it reports the bottom level components only so there's no need to explode parent components at all. I do not need to report. I use the Assemblage plugin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GbwPRm7qxg

AMAZZ ZING,,,All I have to do is remember sometime to learn it, I think I'm blocked by thought that voice commands are directed more for disabilities , tho you show that a mouse/voice combination is well worth learning , now I have a good reason to talk to myself & the computer ,,,Jon

Aah, good. Dale is a knowledgeable and helpful guy. Is this also a new SU installation? What I want to get to is if you installed SU correctly, strange things happen when SU isn't installed correctly. Fortunately installing it correctly is a simple task.

Happy to help. I was mostly using Outliner to show how deep I was going in to the nested component. As long as you don't need the material or already have it saved in a local collection, deleting the material from In Model is a great way to unpaint things no matter what the material is applied to. Sometimes I get models from other people that are so screwed up, deleting the materials is the easiest way to deal them.

@pixero said: Well...the most annoying thing is that they are trying to force us to go into subscription. Hiding away the permanent license where barely anyone can see it. If you've been keeping up with your annual maintenance and support, it doesn't matter because you would get the Classic license anyway. They've only added another option for new commercial SketchUp users to get into SketchUp. A few years before I retired from my last job I got a SketchUp Pro license to use at work. Due to the price and the way my employer's purchasing system was set up, I had to go through a process to get a purchase order created and an account established with Trimble before I could get the license. If the subscription option had been available I could have paid for it with my corporate credit card. Instead of taking several days and involving several different people in Purchasing (which added to the cost of the license) I could have had the license within a minute or two of completing the form on the SketchUp site and the corporate credit card bill would have been paid automatically.

@rogalxxx said: my try with su and fotosketcher. As a vray 3.6 user I got screwed by chaosgrop and now I can use my old su18 with vray or my new 2019 without it. I have a subscription plan until dec 2020. Can't really sell my 3.6 without paying for license transfer fee which is 100E. Either way, I'm ditching vray. Clients don't really appreciate the photorealism and the amount of work put into it. So I'm sticking with su+fotosketcher for now and starting experiment with blender, Hi hows the experimentation with blender going? I have exported a sketchup model (Colada.Dae into blender, worked perfectly including textures, nice! was feeling good........then thought I would give Evee a go............tumbleweed...............watched youtube tutorials........tumbleweed...... Was designed for smarter heads than mine I think. Could you perhaps give me a link to the tree you used in your drawing? They were what I was looking for. Oh for what it is worth, I found that putting in false construction lines and mixing in the "Fineliner pen" style made it look a lot more "sketchy" Cheers

Leftie here.. I don't see no special benefits (for lefties) in your concrete table. Consider using NumPad heavily. Don't hesitate to alter the shortcuts- it'd boost productivity over 9000%. In order to work on other PC just put preferences file on cloud.
