@rich o brien said: No, components loaded externally will end up in the component browser.You could try Xref extension by TIG... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=46367#p46367 Or take a look at Cross Reference Organizer

architect lools- flatten selection or sandbox- drape

To add to the above (seriously check out Flex Components). Free: WinDoor does doors and windows Paid: WinDoor**+** does doors and windows, not to be confused with the above even though it's from the same developer Window**+** only does windows, from the same developer as the above two I seriously doubt that these will work on your pre-6 version (as per your profile) of SketchUp.

Finally this problem is solved... The Antivirus program was the reason!!

Hey, I have put that extension on it but without result.and my excuses for dutch.want if I take back sketchup and I put it back on it then remains that message.and that is annoying because then sketchup does not start immediately you need wait or it will strike. If you know my advice, I will see it nice weekend boys Luc

You may need to look at your 'gamma and LUT' settings. Specifically, the 'affect color picker' check box. You may be operating in 2 different color spaces. Could need to change the gamma. Look into 'linear workflow'...(and if it is new to you...get prepared to be very confused!)

So this only just started happening a few days ago? But not before? SketchUp 2014 wouldn't have suddenly changed so you need to look at what on your computer has changed.

If you want a 45° chamfer using the native tools, offset from the inside edges of the box. Then move the interior edges down by the same amount. No need for a guide line that just needs to be deleted later.

Thank you a TONfor your help. As you can see below I have a couple of questions. This all started when I updated the drivers. SketchUp uses OpenGL. I'd expect your Graphics Card to have > v3.? OpenGL v4.5 Ensure that its drivers are up to date, Version 391.35 is the latest and it is enabled for SketchUp etc... Do you mean that Trimble SketchUp is in the Manage 3d Settings list? Use your NVIDIA Control Panel and set it to 'Let the 3d application decide'... Let the 3d application decide what? OpenGL? Hardware Acceleration? SketchUp should auto-configure itself... %(#FF0000)[Good ] Under its 'Manage 3d Settings'... == Trimble SketchUp Either accept all of the default settings, or consider removing it from the list if it's still being awkward... This has all of the default settings since I did not go into NVidia Control Panel/3D Settings/Manage 3D Settings to change any of the 21 settings

In SketchUp Pro you can use File > Generate Report. Or for SketchUp Make or Pro you can use Profile Builder, Estimator and many more reporting extensions to satisfy your needs.

It might well be because of the changes to the way SketchUp references objects with IDs. This has recently changed. Frankly I think that the present result us as it should be !

pro licence expired ? They do not expire, you just can't update but you can still use them. erikB

Step is a Nurbs format! Totally different than SKP file! So you must find a converter! You have this free stand alone who transform a format OBJ to 3dm by Michael Gibson (author of the famous Zen Nurbs Modeler MOI3D (not free) (3dm another commun Nurbs format) Result will be a 3D wire frame! It's more prudent to not take files of millions of polygons! So transform first your SKP in OBJ by TIG plugin OBJ exporter if you have not Pro version of SU! Here in Moi but will be the same in another Nurbs program! [image: _3531936.jpg] Another brut force workflow is to use the monster Fusion 360 ! (there is an hobby free version) Import your SKP file inside and use TSPline! Minute 2.30 - 3.00 You can now export as any format you want! (so STL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heFWhzNwPFI

There's no way I know of to replace the image in the matched photo scene if that is what you're asking? You can use Add Scene with Matched Photo to import a new image. Right click the scene in the Scenes dialog/panel... [image: SWwv_2018-04-01_20-28-09.png] This new scene with the new image should match the setup of the original scene.

The pixel size of an image is just a parameter of the camera or image program that created the image; it has nothing to do with reality. I usually note the actual size of the item in the image, draw a rectangle that matches one dimension of the item, and then use File->Import with "Use as Texture" selected. Click one corner of the rectangle and then the diagonally opposite corner and the texture will be created sized to the real dimensions.

Good to know.Thanks for reply.

The RBZ file is not needed after you've installed the extension. You don't need to keep it and I would recommend deleting it. Extensions you install will be in a user directory that is not affected by uninstalling/reinstalling SketchUp. If you ever do need to refresh the SketchUp installation and replace the extensions, it would be wisest to install the extensions fresh from their sources instead of from old RBZ files you've kept. If you use the Sketchucation Extension Store tool and the Extension Warehouse to install extensions, you won't have any RBZ files to delete except the one for SCF Extension store which you need to download from here to install.
