Sorry! Sketchup checks the license.
I don't know this error.

Are you going to attempt to find out? It would be nice if an extension I paid for would not be identified as expired.

Don't miss this other one from him!
Asset Managment

At the frantic pace of that video how can anyone understand what is happening or how it's done.

Wouldn't this be awesome in SU?

Almost makes me want to switch to Blender.

S4USlice is enabled and activated but when I try to use it I get the License Expired error.
Extension Warehouse lists it in my extensions as enabled.

This is the second time I've gone through this rain dance
What's wrong this time?????

Chill...Box, it was a compliment, albeit tongue in cheek, but one I agree with. You guys have proved many times how fluent you are, (in your own ways), with Su.

Exactly: Glad at least you understood.

...as long as guys like Box, Cotty, and Solo are listed as intermediate, I think I'll just stay down in the basement with the rest of the "newbs". Heck their good company.

In golf, Box, Cotty, and Solo listing themselves as Intermediate would be called "sandbagging"

Every time I think I might be getting pretty good at SU I see a post that brings me back to reality.

I vote for baz' list so Advanced is not the top level.

Beginner
Novice
Intermediate
Advanced
Expert

Curiosity
What are those milestones for a change of badges?

ITS crap indeed. To see the option you have to open the tray

Thank you for being the only one to reply, kaas.

I can understand putting the option on the tray, but why take it off the shadow toolbar???? Indeed, a bummer.

The Shadows toolbar no longer has the "turn off sun" icon.
I originally posted this in the General Discussion forum but received no reply. For details and pictures of what my problem is please see:

Thank you

Just use the Rotate tool and rotate each segment until they are all on the same plane.

1) Being too far the SU origin.
The SU origin is where the red/green/blue axes meet. If your model is very far from this location you will often get clipping. These axes can be turned on/off under the menu View/Axes

2) Perspective Mode
There are three camera viewing modes (See menu Camera):

1. Parallel Projection
2. Perspective
3. Two-Point Perspective

You can often escape clipping (temporarily) by switching to a different viewing mode

This is the well-known "clipping" effect. Most often occurs when your model is located far from the SU origin. Also occurs more frequently if you are not in perspective mode.

This can happen if one of the components/groups within your model were grouped with their axes different (skewed) from the overall model. This can put a corner of the off-axis bounding box outside the bounding box of the rest of the model making it appear as if the bounding box of your model is larger than the model itself.

If you are meaning the Animator plugin, see this thread

I get:
"You are not authorised to read this forum."

• Ability to nest Layers (enhanced version of BillyBob's Layers Panel Plugin)

• Unwrap (enhanced version of wrapR)

• Fix the clipping plane problem

• Open Selection in new SU Session to edit components in a separate SketchUp workspace (incorporate something like wikii's Sharp Editor)-(as suggested by HornOxx)

• Wider Layer Name drop-down display to be able to see full names (I've suggested this for the last two versions)

It'a not slicer5 or S4U Slice or Tig-cut-to-plane

Nor Zorro.
Thanks anyway

@box said:

Are you sure it's not Tig's Split to Plane?

I'm sure
The cut was automatically orthogonal.

Nice photo: now show us your model

Alas, no, it was not Zorro. It didn't section the object, it just split it into two pieces.
Thank you anyway.
It's reallyaggravating: I know it exists (at least it did).

I have spent hours searching for an old plug-in that did a simple slice of an object.
All I had to do was click the icon, draw a vertical line and a connected horizontal line (an "L" shape) on the face and the object was split in two.
It might have been a plug-in that was one of many in a set.

It'a not slicer5 or S4U Slice or Tig-cut-to-plane
