Hi Ben,

to your fourth Question. If splines meet at their vertices I make separate groups. Curviloft has more options for the shape of the loft. I think Fredo can explain this better.

Hi Christa,

did you mark show shadows?

Charly

Thank you Fredo and Marcus.

Hi,

I wanted to understand this example from NickGenerator and found that these two functions are not active for me. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

or with Perpendicular Face Tools by Chris Fullmer.

Hi Joiner,

das mit den ausgegrauhten Funktionen ist ein bekanntes Problem. Die meisten Plugin Manager sind auch nicht perfekt. Die beste Lösung ist, den Plugins Ordner nur mit den Plugins zu füllen die man öfter benötigt. Ich habe am Anfang auch diese Sammelwut gehabt. Mittlerweile habe ich meinen Plugin Ordner auf ca. 130 Plugins beschränkt. Das ist eine Anzahl bei der man sich noch in etwa an die Funktionen der einzelnen Plugins erinnern kann. Wenn ich ein spezielles Plugin benötige hole ich es mir und nach Gebrauch werfe ich es wieder raus.

Hi,

It works normally only with a face and a curve. If you want to use it with a straight line than have look at page 5 of this topic. ThereEcuadorian shows a tutorial video.

Hi,

I voted YES. I'm not ignorant but I think the religious and political discussions should not take place in this forum. There are masses of Internet forums and blogs dealing with these issues. There you can discuss it as much as you like and you can find thousands of opinions and opposing opinions and endless discussions.

I think it's wonderful to share ideas together regardless of religious affiliation and political beliefs. This is the special in this forum.

I would suspect that the majority of the Sketchucation members attended the forum to learn about 3D technologies. I have chosen the SketchUcation forum to exchange ideas and experiences about SketchUp and related topics.

If I want to discuss something else, or seeking information on a particular topic, then I visit the appropriate forums or blogs.

Hi,

We had been three years, two Brother DCP-110C multifunction devices. I was really pleased with it because I got low-cost ink cartridges for it. The print quality and the scanner was also fine. It happened that we did not use the printer for several weeks. Now both print heads were clogged and a cleaning was no longer possible. I have now decided to buy separate devices again. I opted for the Canon ip 4800th Because I get the cartridges for 2.50 € each. The scanner I chose the Epson Perfection V330 (CCD) technology. The devices will only be used privately.

Multi-function devices are compact and relatively inexpensive solution. The downside is when the scanner or the printer failed, that the entire unit must be discarded.

Hi,

Hi Ben,

many thanks.

Hi,

What bothered me a bit is the dark background. After a trial with the png background, I managed to make them brighter.
But the tool buttons are still too dark. Is there a way to change it?
I would be grateful for any help.

Charly

Hi Paul,

first you have to weld (weld.rb)the arc.

Charly

Hi TIG,

I would like to again thank you very much for your help.

Hello to All,

I would like to project a transparent logo on a cylindrical surface.

I thought I could do it with Superdrape. I've edited the "PNG Image" with "Imagetrimmer". But ImageTrimmer creates a component. SuperDrape only works with a group. If I transform, the component in a group than the texture gets mixed up .

Does anyone know another solution?

Hi,

I made this some month ago with Curviloft and Shape Bender.

Hi Gilles.

Good trick.

Thanks.

Hi Nick.

The methods I show are to get you a feeling of what is possible with sketchUp native tools.

Gilles developped a relatively fast method, also using native tools.

Just ideas.

Hi,

With a little reworking it works also well with the FollowMe tool.
