I'm shocked! You're surely not suggesting that something on the internet could be inaccurate?!

Pretty sure you'll find that it is metal not glass.

@ntxdave I don't use rayscaper but you may only need to adjust the style to shaded with textures.

@ntxdave I suspect you are misunderstanding gifs and their limitations. They are a snapshot of part of the screen, not the full screen. There is a file size limit for adding gifs that is quite restrictive and every pixel that moves on the screen increases the file size. So to make a usable gif we must set a Frame of a certain pixel size then work within that, and try not to move the camera too much, that can make you think you are missing something but most of the time all the relevant action is captured. The model may get cut off but generally not the cursor or relevant tools etc. We do our best to squeeze everything into the capture window. Countless times I have had to rerecord a gif because the context menu option is just off screen, and it can be a real fine line, you may have two context menu uses and one goes too high and the other too low.
If your ipad and laptop are indeed not showing the full gif that would suggest you have the screen resolution set incorrectly, but I doubt it.

Thanks for your well wishes. I have spent the last couple of days battening and double tying everything down and removing anything loose from my boat and from the marina itself. All sorts of innocuous stuff becomes lethal when thrown around randomly.
Fortunately, although I live on a boat, I am far enough south that I will mostly only experience a shed load of rain and nasty gusts of wind rather than the sustained winds further north that will be destructive. It is going to be catastrophic for many that have yet to recover from the last disaster.
But you never know with wind, I may well wake up with a full sky view, I'm already prepared for most of my windows to blow out.
But I love where I live.

Works fine for me. Do you have the most recent version?

I guess you mean the one with the V on it, that when clicked activates the vertex tool, hmm what could it be.

You might be talking about this but it uses several extensions.

That could mean just about anything, so No I have no idea what you saw.

All the models you have uploaded lately have the dotted lines showing, these are the back edges and I assumed you wanted them on. They can be turned on and off in the Style settings, the View menu Edge style or by tapping k on your keyboard.
I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but add loop works for me.

It's pretty clear just from Dave's screenshot that your circles are off axis.

My guess would be your circles are not drawn on axis. Not at a computer so can't check your model.

@ntxdave
I can't answer just now. I will tomorrow if I have time.
But lets clean things up a bit, rather than having this discussion in Tuna's Gallery thread.

Can you start a new thread in the Newbie sub forum and include your model. It would be best if you can include it with the setup before you used follow me.
Then Dave or Rich will split the relevant post out of this one and into the new one.

Look for the tooltips that tell you midpoint or end point etc

@ntxdave said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:

Apparently, I am not not drawing the arc between to circle correctly.

Make sure you get the magenta inference. The start and end points of the arc should be in the same relative segments of the circles. Often best to use a segment Midpoint rather than an endpoint. And it needs to be at a point that will flow smoothly with the circle.

@ntxdave said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:

I have to use the TIG Weld feature to connect the lines so I can use them for the path for the Follow Me tool.

Well yes, but all I did was triple click to select all of it as the path. Weld allows you to select it with one click.

@ntxdave said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:

I get the outline in the face and I have to go erase the outline.

I double click on the face, which selects the face and it's edges allowing it all to delete in one go.

@ntxdave said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:

Here is the file from what I did for this exercise

Looking at your model it is clear you haven't connected the arc smoothly.
And the circle you have in the middle of the shape is drawn Off Axis, so it will not line up correctly with the rest of the model.

@ntxdave said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:

I do have a little problem with in the videos is that he obviously enters info in the text boxes that you cannot see in the video.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, I go out of my way to show everything I can in my gifs, which is why I use a toolbar rather than keyboard shortcuts, and that toolbar has the text box included that shows everything I type. Very occasionally something might be just off screen, but I usually mention what it is if that is the case.
Can you link to one that you are having an issue with.

Rich, once again my stupidity, how do I block this?

If you use facebook you will find a lot of vids here https://www.facebook.com/BoxGifs/videos
And on the Sketchup forum there is a long thread with more, https://forums.sketchup.com/t/out-of-the-box/68182/1
Some of the vids are on both some are not.

I'm well impressed that you have understood the relationship between the 'Orb' and the 'Structure' in each case. Well done.
