@pilou said: Difficulty of SubD modeling is that you must imagine how your basic form must to be before it will subdivised! ...and for apply a texture http://topologyguides.com 5 pages! https://giancr.com/en/essential-tips-hard-surface-small-details-part-01/ 3 Pages [image: topo-jpg.38626] Thanks Pilou, I'll certainly print these out and have a read through them... applying textures is another question I had so I'll see if I can get through the first stage then work that out after.... Cheers!!

I removed and reloaded Sketchup. It still hangs and is horrendously slow to start up. Even before adding plugins. My Rhino and Autocad are much faster on this machine where SU hangs often. Could this be a problem with RYZEN and SU. Any suggestions?

Looking at that Image I would simply delete the selection and make faces between what appears to be a radial array of beams.

Can you share an example file that shows this problem?

I set mine to shortcut to the "`" key (above Tab)

@mcgordon said: In the components window, right click on the component to be replaced (sphere), choose "Select Instances". Find the component you want to replace it with in the components window (ball), right-click and choose "Replace Selected" and it will replace them all at once. Is that what you meant? If you mean a plugin that would let you replace all the spheres with balls and all the cubes with players at the same time, that would be more complicated than doing it the manual way with the built in tools in SketchUp. I know the method with the components window but I meant the second thing you said. I was wondering if there is any plugin or method that can replace all the cubes with players and all the spheres with balls both at the same time. But thanks for your answer!

Go to windows/model info/dimensions

Thanks!

Don't you just need to apply a suitable Lumion leaf material to the SU geometry? Your model should work - perhaps just intersect the groups and clean it up. Is this info relevant? [~5.15mins] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEecISrQVBg

Another thing you can do is the rename the .style to .zip and poke around to see the stroke styles. Best way to deconstruct is to load a style into StyleBuilder to see what setting were used where.

Okay. SOLVED! It took me quite a while to find out how the system works according to Dave's proposal: To multiply the whole grid means you have to multiply floor AND furniture as well. I was stuck thinking of nesting the furniture in the floor component...And yes, you have to make a fix size of the furniture by inserting "=" followed by the values of the axis. Keep in mind when you work in a metric system you have to erase the complete unit (i.e. "cm" for example). Not necessesary in inches. Last question: How can you set this blog to solved? Picky

The Edit button for that path is gray because it isn't an editable path. you might try reinstalling SketchUp. Find the installer, right click on it and choose Run as administrator. Then choose Repair when the option shows itself.

OK got it. It works. Thank you

thank You for help

Of course I have no idea what OP wants. I just set myself a challenge and now respect the toolmaker's design genius much more.

Tip: I learned this from Nick Sonder video a couple of years back. You can quickly change scene properties in multiple scenes by selecting the scene with the properties you wish to have updated/changed and by either ctrl/shift click select more scenes and simply de-select and immediately re-select the properties you wish to update.
