@MLUY you could select all the geometry and do the same thing. You'll only soften edges in which the angle between face normals is less than or equal to the angle set in the Soften Edges panel.

Select all of the edges that you want to soften, right click on the selection, choose Soften. If needed, adjust the slider in the Soften Edges panel in the tray.

Thank you. The glass is part of the cylyinder. It gets heated with a flame underneath. The piston is the metal round-ended bit inside.

@alskaro do you mean something like this? As TIG says, apply whatever materials you want to the various faces in the SectionCut Face.

@Rich-O-Brien thankee kindly, sir.

@ntxdave thank you.

Machinist's models.

Can't you just select it to highlight it and hit Delete to make it go away?

Are you modeling internal or external threads?

@Leggy said in help with a thread:

What about tpi?

What do you mean? The thread pitch is given along with the other dimensions for the threads. TPI standas for Threads Per Inch and is not used for metric threads. M22x2.5 indicates the nominal diamter is 22mm and the pitch is 2.5mm. The helix rises 2.5mm for each rotation.

@Leggy said in help with a thread:

Is there a chart you use to look up thread dimensions, pitch, tpi , crest etc

I would use the following site:

External Metric ISO Thread Table Chart Sizes M20 - M55

Metric external thread size table chart for sizes M20 to M55 Bolts and screws per. ANSI/ASME B1.13M-1995.

I wouldn't bother with the radiused corners because they'd be too small.

I've been enjoying SU2026.

All the Migrator does is copy the extensions from the Plugins folder of the older version and paste them into the new version. If you have outdated extensions, they may create errors when you start the new version of SketchUp again. As for the licensing of extentions, it depends on the extensions and how the licenses are managed. For extensions from SketchUcation, you should use the Sketchucation ExtensionStore to install your bundle of extensions. First install the latest version of the ExtensionStore. Doing that will ensure you get the latest versions of those extensions installed and that they will be installed correctly.

You're looking at the old Trimble online viewer, not the SketchUp online viewer. After saving your file to Trimble Connect, use the Share a Link option from the Trimble Connect menu. Or you can do the same in the Trimble Connect web UI.

The SketchUp online viewer will display the watermark. Here is a model in SketchUp with a watermark added in the style.

And this is what it looks like in the SketchUp online viewer.

TIG Weld seems to be working fine in SU2026 for me. I also use Eneroth AutoWeld which will weld any edges that can be welded in a selection.

If all you want to do is open in 2016 a model you created in SketchUp 2017, why do you want to create an OBJ file in the first place? What's wrong with using File>Save As ... in SketchUp 2017 and selecting SketchUp 2016?

@L-i-am I like the painting quite a lot. It's so much nicer after it was cleaned up and framed.

@Mike-Amos thank you. It's basically straight out of SketchUp.

@Rich-O-Brien

LOL!

@L-i-am said in A Small Table and a Watercolor Painting on an Easel:

Is that an original painting that is yours?

Yes. I own the painting. It was given to me about 60 years ago by a great aunt.

I am nit picking here, and that artis stool would almost always have 3 legs as do all milking stools have 3 legs for stability

True. If it was a stool it probably would have three legs. But it isn't a stool. It's a small side table.
