Output Override is a Document Setup setting so yes, you can save that as part of your template like the rest of the Document Setup options.

Hard to say from just a single image. What orientation was the model in on the bed? What material?

@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.

@HornOxx many thanks, sir.

@hannaconner said in Sketchup 2017 suddenly closes:

I use SU 2017 as a subscription doesn't make sense

You're right. That doesn't make sense since SketchUp 2017 was never available as a subscription. What kind of license do you really have?

@hannaconner said in Sketchup 2017 suddenly closes:

Anytime I try to do a cut and paste or other action that increases or adds to it, it suddenly crashes.

What operating system are you using? What are the specs on your computer? What is the graphics card? Most likely you have exceeded your computer's capability. It's also possible that you have a bad object (component or group) in the model.

You might try purging and otherwise cleaning up the model before trying to add more to it.

You could share the file with us so we can see if it can be fixed. Upload it to DropBox or We Transfer and share the link.

@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?

@HornOxx

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.

@errror404 You really ought to use the Extension Store tool to find and install extensions. It's easier than downloading the extensions and installing them with Extension Manager. It also means that when extensions get updated you can get an alert and update them quickly, and of course build your bundle to make migrating to a new version of to a new computer easier.

I've had excellent service from my Logitech keyboards and mice. The only time I've had to replace the keyboard is when I've spilled something sugary into it. As far as mice, I've only had to replace them when I wear the feet off and they get too difficult to push around. The one on the left here is close to that point. I've never had any failures of the buttons or wheel.

Close Sketchup. Go to user/AppData/Local/SketchUp/SketchUp 2025/SketchUp and open PrivatePreferences.json. Look for "ThreeDTextDlg". What are the "x" and "y" values? Edit those to move the dialog onto the correct screen. This is what it looks like on my computer.

And here's the dialog relative to the top left corner.

Note that the user/AppData folder is normally hidden so you'll need to make hidden folders visible in File Explorer.

Did you install SketchUp 2025 correctly? That requires right clicking on the downloaded installer and selecting Run as administrator. If you didn't do that it's possible that Windows is preventing SketchUp from making suitable updates to PrivatePreferences.json. To ensure SketchUp is installed correctly, close SketchUp, find the installer in your Downloads folder, right click on it, choose Run as administrator, and when prompted, click Repair. No matter what, it won't hurt to do it.

Thank you all.

For those who aren't familiar with reading micrometers, the lead screw which drives the moving anvil has 20 threads per inch. So one full turn of the screw moves the anvil 0.05 in. That moves the pointer on the small dial one division and of course the pointer on the large dial, a full revolution. The major divisions on the large dial indicate 0.001 in. I don't know how precisely the original lead screw's threads were made but a device like this can be quite precise in its measurements.

It could be useful indeed. In the meantime, if you've got a mouse with extra buttons you could assign the keyboard shortcut to a button.

For anyone else who comes along:

The new migrator copies the extensions from the previous SketchUp installation. If you haven't stayed on top of keeping extensions updated or if extensions required updates for the new SketchUp version you will still need to go and track those down. And for extensions that have their own installers, most likely you can expect those extensions to fail to load and you'll need to install them correctly.

Even if you use the migrator, the very next step regarding extensions from Sketchucation should be to open the Sketchucation Extension Store tool and install the bundle to make sure you have the latest versions of extensions from here. That will also allow the tool to alert you when there are extensions that need to be updated and it will create a new bundle for later use on other machines or for the next major release.

And don't get lazy about keeping extensions up to date. The authors do their best to keep them updated. The least you can do is take advantage of their updates.

@HornOxx thank you! Two ceparate lines-only exports from SketchUp combined with the render from Vray.

There's more to those images than just SketchUp. There's some rendering in something such as Vray and some work in Photshop or similar.

Any suggestions?

Read the instructions.

You need to have groups or components for the cloth and collider for Clothworks to work on.

There's no reason fo Clothworks to appear in the context menu if you are right clicking on a face since the extension doesn't work on that context.

@Rich-O-Brien
Not a whole lot of difference with AO on this one.

Did you try installing it correctly using the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool?

FWIW, did you use the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool to install your Sketchucation Bundle? If not, you may have issues with some other extensions. The extension migrator for SU2025 only copies the extensions from a previous installation of SketchUp. It doesn't update them like installing the bundle with the ExtensionStore tool does.
