Seems funny ones will be free Soap Skin Bubble or Ferrari!

You need to copy the first viewport. If you use Copy and Paste, the new viewport will paste on top of the previous one. You can also copy a viewport by holding Ctrl (Option on Mac) while dragging the viewport.

Well, it can be but the SCF Extension Store and Extension Warehouse make it fairly easy if they are used to install the extensions in the first place. I suppose that it could be made easier if SketchUp could copy the older versions Plugins folder contents but as it is, that's not a good idea. There are some extensions that install files other places which need to go through the proper installation process and it seems from the troubleshooting we "get" to do that an awful lot of the extensions can't be bothered to keep their extensions up to date. And there are frequently updates to the Ruby scripting version which require extensions be updated to work with the new SketchUp version. If the author of the extension didn't get their script updated and the user hadn't already installed that updated version, the extension wouldn't work. Seems like a lot of things outside of Sketchup's control to make that a good idea.

@box said: I'm surprised nobody has asked where the multi pushpull tool is that they must have used in the second gif. You are so dedicated to every tiny detail we missed.

Thank you msketcher!

Very nice work indeed! I had to laugh about your Tundra, though.

No need for the parallel placement if you aren't projecting the texture. I'm guessing this texture of yours is some banding as might be used on a musical instrument. In real life it would be about veneer thick and would be wrapped around the body of the gitbox or whatever. You'd use projection if you wanted to show how a pattern of glued up blocks changes when they are turned on a lathe.

If you are in the setup mode for Match Photo, moving the origin is really more like moving the image relative to SketchUp's fixed origin. You would set the axes so that the origin aligns with some easily identifiable corner in the image. You might find it easier to set up the Match Photo image in a separate file and then copy the model into that file to place it where you need it. If you share the SKP file of your model and the image you are using, I can give you more specifics.

As stupid as this sounds: I think that might have actually been the issue. I tried it again with a simple small block and the bigger the model gets the worse that optic illusion of unparallelity becomes I have been breaking my brain over this for hours....now I actually put a ruler to my screen and it checks out. Thanks a lot for your help

strange, my 4k monitor is set to 200% scaling and I don't recall having any problems (apart from some icon images not scaling)

Hi Helga, try this. You will need to download the whole bedroom and use the beds. Very cool stuff here https://www.sketchuptextureclub.com/3d-models/bedroom

Had another go at this. Used the process I outlined in previous post. Draw around an imported image for the deer and then just free hand drew the trees. Doesn't take as long as it would seem... think I mucked about with the texture longer than modeling the thing...... it's a little more in the style of the O.P.'s original image.

Thanks folks, feature mirror available at, https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=372&t=70741 .

The cursor keys have been a thing for a few generations now but as I said, Shift can be used instead. I use both depending on what I'm doing.

Excellent advice as always TIG. Thanks

Did you check the component axis position? [image: K5pj_axisComp.gif]

Thank you all! Mission accomplished.

There's no option to add fill in a label in SketchUp.
