@Rich-O-Brien I'm not open sourcing the print files yet but we'll see. This is going to a friend to test to see if it's even going to be useful.
Cool story about the sock remover. Maybe something like that would happen for me.

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.
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.
Hmmm....
If you aren't using Auto Text you can't edit the text without getting inside the text box and if the text box is inside a group, you first need to open the group for editing. Much like editing the geometry inside a group in SketchUp.
Maybe you need to make more scrapbook entities with additional references or maybe you could modify your template so you can utilize Auto Text.
You could ungroup it to it's element parts and the edit.
Do you not want to use the Auto text as it is set up for the scrapbook item?

They are all dead except that one to contact the seller.
That's how you purchase the extension.

"Lathe" is not the correct word, I meant a CNC mill.
If you need to model the radii of the corners, you could use FredoSpline or Round Corner after modeling the dovetails.

On the linked website the links in the Purchasing section are dead!
No. They aren't dead. I would not have suggested the extension to you if you couldn't get it. Click on the Contact link.

but I think that is a matter of settings!?
Yes. It's only a matter of settings.
@alohaa said:
The website behind the link is dated 2010! And it is only compatible with SU versions before 2020.
Read what I wrote! I told you that the website indicates it's not compatible with newer versions of SketchUp but it actually is. I added the dovetails for that screenshot using it in SketchUp 2023.
The author put that disclaimer on his site because he has not personally been able to test it in newer versions. I've been using it in every version of SketchUp since it was first released and it's worked fine.

As I said before, I also need to divide the sides in height, as they do not fit on my lathe as a whole, and the parts also need to be joined together.
How do you cut dovetails on the lathe? Model the side of the box as two different components if that's how they have to be made.
Something like this?
I used the Dovetail tool from Wudworx for this sort of thing. Quick and easy although not free.

It is not marked as compatible with newer versions of SketchUp but it works just fine.
Maybe all you need to do is add a description for the component. Or, with Dynamic Components you can add all sorts of information fields.

Hi, is Lattice maker available on ios ?
iOS is the operating system for iPad. SketchUp for iPad doesn't have any way to use extensions.

It's not integrating to my extensions.
What exactly do you mean by this? Did you install the extension correctly? Did you restart SketchUp after installing it?
The Dimension tool will dimension arcs just fine. You can use inferencing to draw a radius to the center if needed or you could use Arc Center Point Finder to place a guidepoint at the center.
If you were to update to the current version of SketchUp there's a native feature for placing a guidepoint at the center of an arc.
Support by the Extension and 3D Warehouses for SketchUp 2021 ende on January 31, 2024. As TIG indicated you can access them via your web browser.
For your blank Extension Manager close SketchUp, Paste this into an explorer window: %appdata%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2021 and delete the folder called web cache. Restart SketchUp.
I think you should buy some lottery tickets. We've seen lots of cases of file corruption due to working with files directly saved to the cloud.
I guess in your case since what has changed is the location where you are saving the files, that's where it seems the issue stems.
Still the same version of LayOut?
Generally it isn't advised to have LayOut references saved directly to the cloud. This can cause the LO file to become corrupted if it can't access the reference locations. We've seen numerous cases of this.
Shape Bender does work in SketchUp 2017. You just need to install it. 2017 was a long time ago but if I remember correctly, Window>Preferences>Extensions>Install Extension.
And with a couple of earlier ones for scale.

Please correct your forum profile then.
Can you show what you are seeing? Is it just the tooltip for the Tape Measure tool that isn't showing?
Do you have Guides turned off in the View menu?
