Hi Fredo. I've used so many of your creations over the years. I want to say I've used SU on and off since at least 2006. I just purchased SU2025 Pro and I'm also a member here on Sketchucation, though my membership here is of the free variety. I'm getting ready to purchase the Fredo6Bundle2022 through Sketchucation, but I want to make sure I'm good to go ahead and purchase. Under the "Requirements" you mention "Usage: Paid, Licensed under Sketchucation SCFLicense". I want to understand if this means I need to be a "Paid" member here on Sketchucation, or am I reading too much into that? I hope my inquiries are clear enough and thanks in advance for any clarifications you can provide. EDIT*: Or if anyone else can answer this question if Fredo isn't available, that we be great. THX!

You can purchase using your free account. SCFLicense is packed into Sketchucation Tools which is also free.

@Rich-O-Brien Thank you so much for your reply and info.

Hi in SketchUp 2026 you need to tap tab multiple times to bring up the dimensions box. This appears to only happen on Windows, Mac is working as it should. Is there a workaround or fix?

Thanks.

@Mattshiggins

You can right click and choose Enter Dimensions

But the TAB not firing on first click suggests something else is grabbing focus. That could be from a myriad of reasons like a dialog open or you clicked something in the tray.

I've not experienced myself on Windows but have seen a few mention it.

I'm having the same issue here. I've tried uninstalling all other extensions and plugins and running Sketchup without any other apps in the background and I still get the same thing.

Is there a way to check what is getting focused when I press tab, maybe? To try and find what's stealing the focus?

EDIT: or maybe change that tab key to something else that doesn't cause the issue?

Hello to all, after reading all 57 pages of this topic I have yet to find a solution to my issue with the box stretching function.

I have attached 3 images showing a simple paneled door that stretches all groups in the horizontal direction but only the frame in the vertical direction.

The door component consists of 11 different groups, What am I missing here ?

Upload the file please so we can test

Sorry posted wrong door, try this one.

Explode the 'glass' groups and group them into a single group then stretch

[fimo]

Many thanks Rich, that certainly works, my lack of lateral thinking on show right there.

But is this a workaround for a non functionality in the extension or is it by design ? Just seems odd that it works in one plane and not the other.

@fimo

Dunno... it does behave correctly Left/Right. Just not Up/Down.

In this video you can see it working as expected. Maybe @fredo6 knows more?
