It's been around for three or four years.

How can you make Lines to Tubes work in Sketchup 2014?

Just install it using the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool, select the edges and then run it. It works just fine in older SketchUps.

I often work with a scale of 1000x. I can treat millmeters as meters that way.

@nickchun glad you got it sorted. I presume you used the previous version of the ExtensionStore tool to update to the current one. Periodically open the UI. It'll check any extensions that it installed for updates, including itself, and let you know if there are updates to install.

Combining parts I've modeled based on a variety of sources from the late 1800s to very early 1900s. Still need the belt shifter if I can find the details.

AO in Kerkythea under a faces only and a sketchy edges hidden line export.

@simulat that is typical of incorrect installation on Windows which prevents SketchUp being able to write the required file that stores the toolbar locations. . Correct installation requires right clicking on the installer and choosing Run as administrator. That's not the same as running SketchUp as administrator.

Are you running a cracked version of SketchUp 2020?

Resizing with Dynamic Components is a scaling operation. In your model you need to split the front part of the panel off the back as separate components. Then resize the back part and only move the front part with the groove. Maybe something like this.

I made it look like a single piece on the right by hiding the seam lines.

@pace514 You managed to give the edges in the model the tag called GO-DIM while the the first level groups have either the 1/3 Fond or 2/3 Fond tag. You should create and keep all edges and faces untagged. I ran TIG's Default Tag Geometry to fix your model.

TAG question FIXED.skp

Modeled to go with a large steam engine.

@bzqp The first post in THIS thread was last updated in 2017. SketchUp has changed since then. I gave you the link to the version of Joint Push/Pull which works in newer versions of SketchUp.

The current version of Joint Push/Pull requires LibFredo6 and Sketchucation ExtensionStore..

...and there are also online and github converters to get to rgb or hex...

Did you happen to find anything that would convert all of the colors to RGB or HEX in one go? I could only find converters for single colors.

@Christian_33 what version of SketchUp are you using? Can you show an image of the sort of thing you are trying to create?

My first thought is to use Curviloft with a centerline and the shapes at the ends for profiles. Might be other options, too.

With Curviloft.

@HornOxx many thanks, sir.

@aenc_randyc

Are you sure you didn't purchase a license FredoCorner instead? Confusing Round Corner and Fredo Corner is the usual reason for the message you are seeing. Look closely at the license information you received.

@LindaRose if the cursor looks like the one in Rich's screen shot, the tool will create guides. If you tap Ctrl so the curosr is the tape measure without the red +, it will only measure withot created any guides.

Guide points are created if you start from a point or intersection. Guide lines are created if you start from an axis line, an edge, or another guideline. That's all there is to the tool.

Contact Customer Support at Chaos Group so they can help you sort out your license.

These things seem to find me. I come across various sources for dimensioned drawings of various machines and use them to make these models. I find them a good alternative to the woodworking models I tend to do for clients.

@EF22 said in More Fredo6 plugins becoming paid extensions:

thank's but I dont' see libfredo in Window - I use skp on mac

Did you install LibFredo6? If not suearch for it in the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool and install it. Then quit and resart SketchUp.

What version of SketchUP are you using?

@danna Rich is correct. Rotating the component would be simplest. You could also set gluing properties for the component and drag copies of it in from the Components panel.

I've set the axes so the component's origin falls on the vertical face of the box.
