I am also having the issue where it cant find the support html files. Every tool replies with the same pathing issue.

This problem has existed for almost two years!!

I've often used VisMap2 when I had a project with many scenes and layers.

...But sorry to say that my Xref Manager is long over due an update, and it's once again at the bottom og my to-do list

Has this moved up in your To-Do list or has it been relegated to the "won't ever get an update" list?

Is it HiTech Homes or Hi TechHomes?

I'm going to assume it's the first, so, IMO, HiTech should be the same color

There is no question that Quad Face and SubD tools have awesome potential, but (at least for me) they represent a pretty major new direction for us long-time, main-stream SU users.

As a follow-on of ntxdave's comments:

Before I retired, part of my engineering job was getting experienced technicians and engineers to write procedures for doing industrial processes and testing. One of the major reasons for the new procedures was to allow new people to run the tests when the experienced people were unavailable. A big problem was convincing the writers to put in every step of the process.

They were used to doing the tests themselves and knew the “small steps inbetween” the major steps, so they didn’t think to put them in the procedure. But without knowing about those “between” steps the new people were unable to do the tests.

The same situation exists when people take the time to make a tutorial (thank you, thank you, thank you). They often turn out to be “see what I can do with this plugin”, and whiz through the steps too quickly for the new user to follow. Unfortunately, not everyone trying to learn how to use the new tool has the same level of experience and/or can intuit what was done to get the results shown.

Essentially what I’m trying to say is that. ideally, tutorials would be with audio explanations and/or clear, slowly-executed zoom-in cursor movements.

I know that the last thing anyone wants to do is to document what they have created, but unless time and care are taken, the tutorial devolves into show and tell rather than teaching us “noobs” to make use of the tools that have taken so much time and effort to create.

Fluidimporter is good and more flexible since it imports other type files at $89

but I find that SimLab FBX importer for SketchUp is more reliable at $79

Went to http://www.sketchrope.com and downloaded it, but where do I buy it?

Very cool, I have been looking for that.

Subscription unfortunately, what happens at end of year, it stops working? I do not like renting plugins, wished it was a straight price for version 1.

Very clever and handy tool, but I haven't and never will buy subscription software.

I attached a screen shot of a very quick try.

Frame size will be controlled by parameters and or profiles. What do you mean by "replacement windows"

We had all of the original windows in our house removed and replacements were slid into the openings. They have about a 2" external flange

Horizontal Sliders with "replacement windows" wide frames

If there is enough positive feedback I'll publish it as a new Extension in the PluginStore...

Interesting tool that I will probably use elsewhere, but it seems like even a slight twist in a loft (made with Curviloft) gives joint push pull trouble. I guess that's just from the surfaces Curviloft built. I'm new to Sketchup and thought it would be fun to print vases with Curviloft. Any suggestions for issues like the one in the attached picture?

No need for curviloft, just make gear tooth pattern, push-pull and rotate (twist) bottom edge 5 degrees.
Of course, there are gear-making plug-ins

Just do it twice on the same curve.

How did you get into my apartment? I guess I'll have to find a new place to hide the key

Aha! A peek at V2!

Great "organic shape" chair! What tool(s) did you use to make it?
