I started to optimize imported model with no components/groups at all. After I have replaced some things (ventilation) with components I noticed that they was disappearing while orbiting model. This happens with my other models as well and in big models it takes a few seconds before I can see all the components. Could this be problem with my grafic card or SU settings? Thank you

I've tried another way. I redrew the same chain (of edges) near existing one and had no problem with making pipe. But still got the hang with existing chain.
Finally after revision, deleting some of and reinstall/updating all of existing plugins I have no problem. Unfortunally I missed at which step it happened. Thanks TIG
You're right. Many of plugins in my set are a bit old.
OK. I deleted those you've mentioned, relaunch my SU, select the whole chain (of edges), run PipeAlongPath and stil got SU hang. Looks like my Plugins folder needs total revision...

There are no quite new plugins here. Every of them I used for long time.

There are 8 edges connected in that SKP.
Selecting them all and running PipeAlongPath I get no issues.
The pipe forms perfectly and quickly.
Thanks you for quick response
@tig said:
I can also draw a circle centered on the vertical line's end and then successfully use FollowMe on the selected path. Can you do that ?
Yes, I performed that and everything's well
@tig said:
Do you perhaps have another plugin loading that has an Observer ill-advisedly messing with group creation etc?
Never heard about such things. I always try to load not too many plugins
@tig said:
Have you installed something new recently ??
Just updated some of plugins.
@tig said:
Try disabling most of the plugins, except PipeAlongPath, then retry and see what happens. It it no longer fails you know that one of the disabled plugins is messing you up...
That's not the shortest way actually) Anyway thanks a lot. I will try.
Thanks to author for great plugin! But I encountered the situation when I tried to make a pipe it caused my SU 2013 hang. I suppose the reason of that some problem with my edges or connections, even though TT's Edge tools inspections were done. Can anyone say what was wrong with edges? Sorry for my English

So if I understand right, it works fine on winXP with SU2014, what is yout windows version now, and SU version?
we didn't understand each other properly) Win XP, SU 2013 that's for now
Hi, Jiminy! There's a problem when I use cyrillic font to rename new layer - some codes appear instead of cyrillic letters. Although it didn't happen before (win XP, SU 2013) Got any ideas?
Nice interface improvement, Fredo! Thank you so much.
Hi, everyone! I'm from Ukraine. I've used SU for about 6 months. Hope to meet help and good advices here. Plugins I've found here is very impressive and helpful. I'm HVAC engineer. Hope I'm not alone, because most of SU users are architects. Here some of my first tries to apply SU to my work. Please, don't judge sternly.
