With a shortcut key for Make Component, G by default, you only need to hit Enter to complete the action if you don't want to name the component.

Another option might be if someone from Oz is going to Basecamp, they could bring it back for you or organise the shipping while there.

Yep, both options, drag and drop and upload icon are available now.
Cheers.

Now I'm struggling to link a specific post or even thread.
Look at the 'Open areas and rounded surface' thread.

@Dave-R said in Open areas and rounded surface:

@Alohaa

How about the button to the right of the Image Upload button?

Here is a link to were it first became apparent to me.
Dave has an upload button and we don't.

@Rich-O-Brien
I get this if I drag and drop a file, my basic template, so very small.

And I see no other way to add it.

Something else of note, there doesn't appear to be a method or icon for uploading models. You can link an image or upload an image but not a .skp file (or any other for that matter).
This would appear to be a 'Reputation' issue as it errors to that if you try to drag and drop a file.
As @Dave-R can confirm, he as a moderator has the file upload icon but not we the great unwashed.
Makes it difficult to see what people are working with.

@Alohaa Create a suitable profile and use follow me.

@Alohaa said in Open areas and rounded surface:

Am I crazy or am I right?

You've asked this twice in this thread alone. In this case you aren't 'right'.

@Alohaa My guess is you have opened the wrong model file.
Pretty clear here that Dave's model contains correct geometry.

There would appear to be an issue with uploading models, as I don't have that button either, and drag and drop tells me 'You don't have enough privileges for this action'.

The rails need to be a 'curve' a single edge won't work.
You can divide the edge and then weld it and it will work.

Click your avatar, the olive coloured circle with O in it at the top right of your screen, select Edit Profile from the dropdown list, scroll down to the signature box...

@pjalbert
Looks like you are wanting SUbD.

@fredo6
I get the same issue, no vray and nothing showing in the console.

There should be no reason for explode not working. Having said that you don't need to Import .skp files, just open them.
Create new/Open from My device

Now that Clothworks has been updated for 2024 here is a very simple example.

@onzki said in Option to Save as default version (more compatibility to past versions):

That's an arbitrary number to suggest but just trying to say it is sometimes annoying to hear requests from receipients that the file cannot be opened simply because I did an upgrade one step from previous.

In the new format a file saved by a 2024 user can be opened by a current -2 Version. Meaning the new format is not year specific, it is simply a .skp file and can be opened by currently supported versions. So a 2024 save can be opened in 2023 and 2022 and possibly 2021.

The need for Dezmo's extension is in cases where you need to save as back to an earlier unsupported version. This has become necessary only since the release of 2024 which doesn't have the old save as back to year option.

@Salient Clothworks would do it. Note it hasn't been updated for 2024 as yet.
