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.

@alexpacio2013 what extensions would you not want to update when the author has made updates?

Legacy materials should be displayed as the old style square swatches if you don't have Automatically Enhance Materials enabled in Preferences Graphics. I leave that turned off and only "enhance" materials when I want them enhanced. This is a custom set I made or got somewhere long ago.

For new materials that show with the cube, you could edit them to remove Metalness and Roughness as well as any other mapping them might have. Then save the changes by dragging the thumbnails back to the collection they came from.

So presumably you are still using the Classic Graphics Engine? At least until you get a capable computer you might as well stick with SketchUp 2025. Then you wouldn't have to do anything to not see the cubes.

@talegend said in [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24:

license for round corner doesn't have FredoCorner word and that's why I can't see it

Round Corner and FredoCorner are two different extensions and each requires a different license. Which one did you actually purchase the license for? Install that one.

You could probably edit the code but it's simpler to rotate the object after it's created.

@Nicklaus-Tang said in Image Trimmer Plugin issue:

but everytime I use the plugin, sketchup freezes

That isn't a surprise. You're asking the extension to create many thousands of edges. That will take a long time. You could speed it up some by eliminating the excessive detail with a simpler silhouette.

I see the same long list of material collections. I have nearly twice as many subfolders as can be displayed on screen at one time. This has been relayed to the developers and hopefully they will revert back to the folder-subfolder thing.

Did you change the number of segments in the corners from the model you shared? I used the geometry in your model and didn't make any changes other than fixing the location of the axes and moving the model to the origin. Out of curiosity what are you expecting for the outside diameter of the round part? What are the expected dimensions for the rectangular part?

You say you want the walls to be 1.2 mm thick. If you are selecting 1.2 mm for the offset in your model, the walls will have practically no thickness.

@Rich-O-Brien LOL! One side is flat and the other concave as on the real mirror. I was too lazy to set up to measure the exact curvature bit it's pretty close.

@Leggy said in adding thickness:

I have one little area that is showing through , but ill print it and see how it looks

If the inner surface is showing though the outer one, I wouldn't expect it to print as you want it.

I don't understand what you are doing to end up with a different result than I got.

Amused by simple things before my coffee kicks in. The environment image is inverted in the concave mirror and rights itself when you get inside the focal point just as in reality.
