Hi
This happens fairly often with the kind of drawing I do
In this case, I drew aluminum flashing (.03" thick) on a wood deck
How do I stop the geometry of the deck from showing through?
It happens on the screen and when I export PNG, but not exporting PDF
Thanks!

Sketchup as CPQ
A few years ago we did some Ruby work to draw our product and make a bill of materials. Ultimately we would import the BOM into our ERP software to create sales orders
But we kinda lost interest
Now we are thinking about it again, our product is too complex for most off the shelf CPQ, and I fear we would spend as much time customizing an existing app as we would having something made from scratch in PHP (for example)
Any thoughts about Sketchup as a quoting tool? -
RE: [Plugin][$] VisuHole - v1.5a - 01 Apr 24
I have used Visuhole successfully to stamp a logo into my model
I noticed after converting to STEP file with FreeCAD that there are many hidden lines after the stamping, see "after carve.jpg"After the carve operation my model is no longer solid. I used CleanUp3 to clean up the model, after that there were a few lines I deleted manually.
SolidInspector2 says it is a solid
Solid Solver says it is notI am just wondering if the extra lines are to be expected after a carve operation or is there some setting in Visuhole that would avoid this?
thx

RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24
@fredo6 said:
The errors comes from the rounding of the upper part and the large offset.
Currently FredoCorner does not round edges when one of the edge has a length smaller than the offset.
So, it works with an offset of 2'', but not beyond.
PS: RoundCorner does not do a better jobYes I did see success with 2", and I did try RoundCorner
Thanks for your quick response and all your great plugins -

I am getting Ruby error when I try to round corners.
Can you review the files attached and tell me if it is possible?

Batch convert JPG's to SKM
I have about 100 fabric patterns I want to save in Sketchup
I did not find any plugins on Sketchucation or the extension store, but I did find this:https://sites.google.com/site/sagesuwiki/tutorials/plugins/tutorials/batch-convert-jpgs-to-skm
Just checking if this is a trusted source

RE: Layout dimensioning weirdness
I reset the scene which did not help.
I did some dimensioning in SU and determined that Layout is reporting the diagonal distance!
