    • Landscaping around a pond in SketchUp 2021

      Hi
      I'm modeling the landscape around a large, irregularly shaped pond. I've been using an older version of the Artisan plugin to raise, lower and smooth different parts of the terrain.
      The difficulty is how to get the terrain to just touch the edge of the pond. It will take an enormous amount of time if I do it bit by bit.
      Does anyone have an idea how I could speed up this process? Maybe plugins or something else?
      Thanks

    • Match Photo does not center on correct part of model

      Hi
      I'm using Sketchup 2018 and have a large model with many structures. I've added a new building to the model and would like to use the PhotoMatch Project Textures features on it. I've centered the new bulding in the viewport but when I use New PhotoMatch the image appears in a completely different part of the model. I can't really use the Photomatch red, green and blue axis lines to correct the position.
      Is there anything else I can do to get PhotoMatch to center it's image where I want>
      Thanks

    • RE: Solid to face

      The following works great - thanks - I'll my update the profile

      @dave r said:

      double click with Select on the face you want to keep, keyboard shortcut for Copy, triple click on it to select all attached, hit Delete, Edit>Paste in place. Assign a keyboard shortcut for Paste in place to make it faster.

      Alternatively, use a right to left selection box around the geometry you wish to remove making sure you don't select the face or its bounding edges. Hit Delete.

    • Solid to face

      Hi
      Is there anyway to use push pull to create a face from a solid, i.e. the reverse of it's normal use. The native behavior for this tool is to simply make the solid disappear as soon as it reaches the original starting point. However I need to preserve the face. I know it's possible to do this by selecting individual lines but push-pool or a plugin would be much faster.
      Thanks

    • RE: [Plugin][$] Profile Builder 2

      Hi Whaat

      By combining I mean adding two pre-existing assemblies together. These would be assemblies that had been created to be used together.

      I just made a combination exterior siding and stud wall. I dumped the siding assembly into a model where the wall assembly was open. I then added profiles and components from the siding assembly in the model to the wall assembly. I used eye dropper tool which did save some time.

      But I'm lazy and would have preferred to the use an eyedropper like tool with a "+" symbol that would have just "combined" the second assembly into the first with one click. This would have saved me some quite a bit of work and been guaranteed to be error-free.

      Hope that explains it

    • RE: [Plugin][$] Profile Builder 2

      Hi Whaat

      My assemblies are getting complicated and I wonder if there is any way to automatically combine them?

      This would make it much easier to get amazing results since they could be created in a modular fashion and debugged and re-used more easily.

      If this cannot be done, can you think of any way to get a report on the assembly that would contain a listing of components and the dialog attributes such as elevation etc.?

      Thanks again for all the fun.

    • RE: [Plugin][$] Profile Builder 2

      Hi
      I'm just getting started with this amazing and wonderful plugin.

      My problem is that when I save my assembly and then reuse it a new model, one of the components, #2 "Corner" in the original, is missing in the saved Assembly.

      Here's the original Assembly dialog from the skp where I created it followed by the one that's loaded from the Assembly browser:


      http://s20.postimage.org/r5bksx08d/Original_Assemblywith_Corner_Component_Before.jpg


      http://s20.postimage.org/gtz8098j1/Assembly_Missing_Component_After_Save.jpg

      There are only 3 instead of 4 components in the second one.
      Ideas?

    • Profile Builder 2 Question about materials

      Hi

      I notice that when I go to apply a material to either a profile or an assembly the list of available materials is limited to whatever has been applied to beautiful Lissane.

      Is there a way to get to the standard Material dialog or some other work around?

      Thanks

    • RE: [Plugin][$] Profile Builder 2

      Hi Whaat
      I'm wondering if you are aware of the problems that I and many others who are on Windows 10 are having when we try to download the Trial version of PB 2.

      A few seconds after the download dialog loads Sketchup crashes, usually with no error message or only a Windows, "this program has stopped working ..." message.

      All of this is quite fully documented at the Sketchup forum:
      http://forums.sketchup.com/t/extension-warehouse-download-attempt-crashes-su/18869/27

      Hopefully you can check it out and help get it fixed so that we can have a look at PB2.

      Thanks

    • Better User Interface for Dynamic Components

      Hi eveyone

      I've created my first DC. See topic: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=50742&p=460255#p460255 .

      I believe I learned enough from the experience to build more advanced components. I have to confess that I found the interface unintuitive and error prone. So, I'm not looking forward to creating another one. I suspect that this is the reason that DC's have not become more popular.

      I think it might be helpful to start a thread here where suggestions for improvements to the interface could be posted. Maybe someone at Trimble will read them and do something ๐Ÿ˜„

      One suggestion is to allow users to rename the component attributes to something more user friendly. (I think I read something like this in another thread). For example, "width" could be typed in over the lenY attribute name. Attribute formula's would then display these names. I'm pretty confident that for most users this would make the formula's a lot easier to create and understand.

      Hopefully we'll get lots of other ideas here.
