Fixed it with Copy/Pasted into a new 2025 .skp
Then used GraphicCoverter to create thumbnails.

Hi all,
New to SU 2025

Some of my thumbnails are just showing the SU App icon.
And others are black.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now a week to recover.
And off the to the shop with intricate cuts to stress about.

corrected-with apologies

Final Sketchup for Star Shaped Fruit Bowel!
Again, Huge thanks for all your support and time!
Fat Star - Miter and Bevel - Final.jpg

Got it.
Click and hold on the green plane.
And release at the back.
Thanks again for your support and patience.

How did you get the Rotate compass to turn black and at 45°?

Ok, now I'm back to where I was designing my table saw sleds.
This design has me cutting 4 intricate cuts. Mitre and bevel on all 4 sides.
My original design has me cutting just 3 intricate cuts.
Leaving the 4th side (top) at right angle.
But leaning/angling over to accomplish the same look.

Thanks for this one, Rich (corrected-with apologies).

Absolute champion.

I get what you are telling me now.

I got caught up in learning how to use the snaps.

Any reason why you don't want to tell me how to use the snaps?

Again, no insult intended.

ok thanks again

ok thanks heaps.
I'll have another go.
I still want to figure out how to use snaps after doing this.

Desperate to get this sorted.
Any chance you'd let me pay you to vid exactly how you did it.
With every detail to put the full star bowel together?

Ah! so you didn't use both.

When you first started on my original skp file,
did you change the Axes before assigning Snaps?
I can only get the cubes to snap if they are on one of the axes.

the snap cursor needs the shift key to maintain its orientation.

I just clicked the first time to set the spot.
Then click twice more to set whatever it was asking for.

Then it would let me move the snap over to the other and orient correctly.

I'm sure it was just lucky.

Yep, just lucky. Can't reproduce.

@Rich-O-Brien
Thanks again Rich.
Those docs are out of date for 2025.
Having a look now at your example.
After click on the point where I want the snap.
It shifts to something similar to Axis tool.
Then it shifts to something similar to the protractor tool.

Hi Rich,
Any chance you could use that snap for the other 4 points like this:

No insult intended.
I'm trying to see how off the finished star is.
You can see that last snap (Labeled Right) is off.
Lets say my 2mm if perfectly joined with the other 4 points.
But I can't get the points left and right in Sketchup.
So if they are already off on the first snap then multiplied by 10 to get the total discrepency.

Hi Rich,
Thanks heaps for taking the time to post that.
Regrettably, Sketchup 2021 pro does not have the snap faces.

Fold objects together or snap faces?

Star Point.skp

Hello all,

Great support forum.

I’m creating a Star Shaped Fruit Bowel.

I’ve designed it in sketchup over hours n hours.

I’m now ready to design Crosscut Sleds to produce the points.

I’ve got left side on one point and the right side of the same point.

To test all my angles I need to put them together.

I want to join or fold together, the left and right side.

I’m hoping there is a way to maybe snap the two faces together.

Thanks in advance.

Brilliant!

Thanks heaps Dave.

Saved me heaps of time.
