    @elmer said: Well, I must apologize if I’m making things confused and convoluted to some, but they may not have read that other great thread: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/an-open-letter-to-trimble/87510?u=chippwalters and this one too: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/open-letter/88172 And yes, I am one of those old fart who think that the planet would be much better off if we weren't in a frenzy of consumption, always upgrading and trying to go desperately faster! Many softwares kindly offer a small checkbox to untick if you don't want to see the home screen appear at each new opening. I feel like an intrusive injonction the way the SketchUp Make starting screen ask me to say hello! Sorry to point it out, but it was not like that with Google SketchUp Free True also that being retired gives us plenty of time to complain and moan a little bit about the way things are going..... . Hi Elmer, no apologies required And reasonable complaints, but alas that seems to be the way things are going. Main thing is we have had years of Sketchup being owned by google that had a different objective, not entirely commercial. Unfortunately we will have to get used to Trimble or move on. I am not sure Trimble is reading the market correctly, but I may be wrong.

    I can think of two possibilities: The mouse is not configured to send the event SketchUp expects when you press the scroll wheel. There should be settings in the mouse control panel. The scroll wheel switch has failed. Try another mouse and see if it works correctly.

    I found the solution. Sign in with the google sign-in method vs. the email address method. The email address method is the 'default' method since the field has the blinking cursor in it.

    Resolved. Thank you thank you thank you @anton_s said: tecnozati, Yeah, the docs do not have enough coding examples. But I intended to fix that someday. To get the position of a servo joint from a script field, you will first need to know the name/id of the joint, which is displayed in UI when you select the joint. Then you can write the following code: > onStart { > @j = simulation.find_joint_by_name("569422") > } > > onTick { > # Set desired angle > if (key(' ') == 1) > @j.controller = 100.degrees > else > @j.controller = 0 > end > > # Get current angle > simulation.log_line @j.cur_angle.radians > } > You can refer to servo docs for more functionality: https://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/MSPhysics/Servo Anton

    Thanks! I DID run without plugins and stripped down whatever I could, running a generic template file (then that file was added to my files that reload each time!) I would guess this is related to upgrading to High Sierra but it didn't happen until 2 weeks after that. So I decided, heck, finish the job and go to Mojave OS. Then that didn't help so I went to SU 2019. And after hanging on the first try, that looks pretty good. Now despite some crashes, 2016 closes OK... sometimes... after all that, what, can it heal itself??? After 3 years (versions) I have to say there ARE some nice changes piled up that look good for the Mac. AA is good now, it does seem a little snappier and smoother, and crashed files will not be loaded on restart supposedly. And they made it for Mojave. I like that they finally made the extensions manager into a sensible dialog window-- though after loading Sketchucation Tools I don't look at it much again.

    Hi mattw0711, it would probably be easiest if you attached the .skp file or some screenshots at least. It's just easier for people to understand exactly what your trying to achieve. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard to do. There are some other posts on using OnClick animate on multiple objects & some example files to download as well. Here's the link to one. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=69391 Not sure how relevant it is to what your trying to achieve. Cheers.

    The coloration of the chair is probably setup as a refractive material in the Max file. This will not come into SketchUp, so the above texture is a clever trick.

    I make plans for furniture construction all the time. For most parts I can get the dimensions using 2D views of the components for a scene which I then use for a viewport in LayOut. So for a leg like this... [image: nEYU_Screenshot-2_12_20198_13_25AM.png] I will have two copies of the component set up for a standard 3rd angle projection and a standard view. Here I've orbited the camera so the components show better. [image: HfI9_Screenshot-2_12_20198_10_49AM.png] The same sort of thing was done for the column for this table. [image: Iaou_Screenshot-2_12_20198_25_15AM.png] I could have created a flat profile of the column to use for dimensioning but it's easy enough to dimension the 3D component in LO so I didn't bother with the flat. The two- or three-views can also be done with a single instance of the component and multiple scenes. Depending on the part, I use either method. For details such as the edge profile of a table top, I will either make a copy of the profile before I use Follow Me or draw a rectangle that passes through the component and use Intersect Faces to pick up the shape. You can do the same thing with a table leg, too.
