A hook on a pulley for some sort of crane or something. Based on dimensions given in an old, undated book from Spain of technical drawing exercises.

This is a heel strap for a wheelchair to prevent the user's feet from sliding off the foot plate. It's designed to install easily with no tools required except scissors to trim the strap to length. The clips with snap on covers are 3D printed to fit off the shelf polyurethane toothed belting.

From the SketchUp model.

Partially assembled.

Temporarily installed on a chair. Ignore the dog hair.

Combined a Vray render with an AO export direct from SU24.

Experimenting with creating a vintage illustration style for my SketchUp models. The flywheel is based on dimensioned drawings in a textbook from 1897.

This one is called Lady Stephanie. I don't know who the real Lady Stephanie was but if she was anything like this engine, I'm guessing she was kind of ornery and hard to please.

After putting her aside I did another engine today. This is a a little crankless engine.

From an old book. SketchUp and Paint DotNet.

A model of what is probably the first micrometer ever made. It's dated England about 1776 and attributed to James Watt although evidence shows it likely wasn't made by him.

A larger version of this image is available here.

All the screws are made and holes threaded. 28 component definitions, all solids.

Funny guys!

And here's another one. A little 4-cylinder oscillating engine. As usual, all base level components are solids.

This is from a model I initially made 11 years ago for shop drawings. I pulled it out recently to do a bit of refining in SU2025.

Any thoughts on a resolution please?

First update to SketchUp 2026. You must have an up to date SketchUp subscription since you are using SketchUp 2023 so you can update to 2026 at no additional charge.

Next, make sure SketchUp is installed correctly so that Windows 11 grants the required permissions to allow SketchUp to write the files it needs. Correct installation involves right clicking on the downloaded installer and selecting Run as administrator.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Sketchucation ExtensionStore installed and use it to install LibFredo6 and the other extensions.

Share the .skp file so we can see what you have set up and try to fix it.

@gabrielaher you have a current subscription license for SketchUp, correct? If so, the only license you need to buy to use RoundCorner is the RoundCorner license fee.

Is it possible to set the model's scale value using an automatic text command?

Yes, you can use a label anchored to a viewport. In Shape Style you can edit the leader color to make it transparent.

There are a number of scrapbook items that already have this sort of thing set up. Bring in the Scrapbook item and drop it on the viewport. Then move it off leaving the leaders anchored to the model.

So here?

Try repairing the installation. Right click on the downloaded installer, choose Run as administrator, then pick the Repair option. Then do a cold reboot of the computer. Any change?

I presume you are referring to your own custom materials?

Is this the same in both versions of SketchUp?

Have there ever been materials in the User/AppData/ ... /Materials folder or were you saving them on OneDrive?

What path is selected for Materials in Preferences>Files?

Which version of SketchUp?

If I were modeling something like that I would use either FredoCorner or Round corner to radius the edges. I'f I wanted the cross sections of the frame members to be actually circular, I'd have modeled that way instead of using square profiles.

Find the currently installed version of LibFredo6 by going to Window>LibFredo6 Settings...

Since you must have the Sketchucation Extension Store installed to manage the licenses for Fredo's extensions, open the Extension Store tool and use it to install LibFredo6 as well as any other extensions that need updating including the Sketchucation Extension Store. If you installed LibFredo6 and Fredo's extensions using the ExtensionStore tool it will keep track of extensions that get updated and let you know those updates are available. Here I've just opened the ExtensionStore tool and clicked on the red bell at the top. It shows there's an update today for LibFredo6 and Thru Paint.

Clicking on the Update All button will update the extensions.

None of your screenshots show which LibFredo6 version you have installed.

What about the Sketchucation Extension Store tool?

Please update your forum profile to include the SketchUp version and operating system.
