And make sure when you installed it, you right click on the downloaded installer file and choose run as administrator to make sure it installs correctly.

Yes, that is what it looks like to me, too. If you download the 'solar north' plugin from the extension warehouse, then you can click the top button in the plugins's toolbar to toggle on and off.

@calypsoart said: I get update messages from 3 sources. Sketchucation Extension Store, Fredo6 update check, and the Trimble extension warehouse. When I get from the Extension store, the update process goes well and it says all updated. However, a run of Fredo6 plugin check shows updates available. Most I know have been updated. Further, update notifications from Trimble's extension warehouse are sometime problematic and I'd like to disable them. Suggestions? Do you have an example? Sketchucation ExtensionStore is the trustable source, because this is where I publish the plugins. LibFredo6 Check For Update can be slightly off-sync (intentionally), because I usually wait for a few downloads of a new version to turn it on. However, it should not say that there is anything to update if ExtensionStore tells you have everything up to date. Note that you can still get the dialog box showing periodically even if everything is up to date. LibFredo6 never does a check online in the background unless you press the button "Check For Update". SO the display of the dialog box is only dependent on the last time you did a check. For my plugins, forget Trimble Extension Warehouse, as I don't publish there and just expose a link to Sketchucation. But for other authors, this can be the trustable source.

Smustard has it. and it is free [image: 54po_Hideall.jpg]

It stops working in v2 as well

@calypsoart said: My machines do not have multiple users or accounts set up. I believe I am the administrator. right, the Windows default user has administrative rights. Important is, not to install under an other user account but the same which should be used for SU. @calypsoart said: I am looking at trying a GTX 1060 or 1060. which is the same? Everything from a GTX 1050Ti (or better) is typically fine, the GTX 1060 does have a pretty good price-performance-relation. V-RAM dependend on screen resolution, better more than regretting later. Be aware, that higher screen resolutions (e.g. 4K) do have an impact on the screen output performance, i.e. need more GPU power. P.S.: don't full quote, thanks.

@calypsoart said: I'm currently finding this to be correct as I do research. However, in the past it was easier to find FirePros cheaper than Radeons. FirePros were never cheaper than Radeons of comparable performance... besides maybe the last time because of the mining hype. @calypsoart said: ...I'm looking at the Quadro P1000 which draws 47w. I'll see if an equivalent GTX 10XX can be had for less. The GTX 1050Ti (TDP 75W covered by PCIe slot) is approx. 10% faster than a Quadro P1000 and available from MSI and Gigaybte as low-profile version (covering 2 slots) starting at roughly 175 bucks (P1000: ~340 bucks).

I removed and reloaded Sketchup. It still hangs and is horrendously slow to start up. Even before adding plugins. My Rhino and Autocad are much faster on this machine where SU hangs often. Could this be a problem with RYZEN and SU. Any suggestions?

Go to windows/model info/dimensions

The deletion of unwanted Bundles is a long-planned addition. But it's not available yet. I suggest you send a PM to Gábor - he can remove unwanted Bundles from your user-profile... Let him know what you want to vanish...

@calypsoart said: Still, Quadros are not cheap. I'll be on the lookout for a good used P2000 in the future. CAD graphics card series are not required for your listed applications, actually they are burning money for no benefit. Buy a capable nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6G and you're fine, as make Asus and MSI are recommendable.

@calypsoart said: I don't model with sketch materials. However, a current project demand it. Anyone know a quick link to a sketchy or b&W brick material? Thanks guys. Those help. Any repository of similar sketchy materials for other textures?

Thanks all. I'm going with Dropped newel and reverse finial.

A good alternative is MSPhysics. You can program camera and targets on paths at any speed or control them directly with sliders. The entire model to be driven through is set as to be ignored in order not to be subject to gravity and to fall down.... The animation can be saved and output as a SketchUp, Indigo, Twilight or Kerkythea movie. A scene animation is also possible.

@calypsoart said: Yep. Don't know how I missed that. I was certain I had slide it up. Is your screen upside down? I prefer to use the RGB sliders so I forgot to look at the slider in your image.

Toolbars are not included, Charlie.

@dave r said: The section cut lines are not edges in the SketchUp model so you can't dimension to them. Peter's suggestion works because edges are created in the group. You could also use TIG's Section Cut Face and make the edges of the faces visible. I use TIG's SectionCutFace, I never noticed that option. Duh! Thanks.

I would suggest you create one or more layers specifically for SketchUp viewports and keep the viewports on them. When I create templates for LO, I always have at least two if not more layers set up for viewports and the lowest viewport layer is set as the active one. That way, when I use Send to LayOut, the first viewport will automatically be on the correct layer.
