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.

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.

@Rich-O-Brien I like that clock, too. Once in a while I see them listed for sale but they are pretty dearly priced.

and the edges are morphing into something weird
What do you mean by that? The only thing I see is that the rim edges top and bottom are softened heavily.

Easily fixed by triple clicking on the shape with Select then right clicking and selecting Soften/Smooth.

There are several other extensions out there that can make screw threads. Look at EP Fasteners or Draw Whorl from the Extension Warehouse.
I model them using Curve Maker and Upright Extruder.


Thonet-inspired floor lamp, 1920s, Brazilian chair, 1950s, Finnish designed shelf unit, 1930s, and Isamu Noguchi "Measured Time" clock, 1932.
Where can I find the language folder to overwrite
From what I can see in the extension there is no language folder, at least in the freeware version. You could edit the HTML files for the dialogs. There are 27 of them.

I expect you would also need to edit the .rbs files however that will be difficult since they are encrypted.
You should contact the author to see if you can work with them to make the changes. The author holds the copyrights to the extension, anyway.
It works fine in SU2026 for me. The box is a component in this case.

Share an example SketchUp file that illustrates the issue.
I haven't seen any issues with this in my models. Make sure you have Environment Settings ticked as a Property to save in the Scenes panel.
Since you are using SketchUp commercially you need to get at least a SketchUp Pro subscription. Then you'll have LayOut and .dwg export capability.
