Don't waste money on a Xeon. 32 GB minimum ram. Get the largest m.2 NVMe ssd you can afford. The RTX 3000 series is good.

Temporarily change the edge color to red or orange or something that will show clearly ov the image so you can see what you are doing.

Fredo has done so very well, but this latest version of round corner I can not get working in SU 2021 for some reason. I keep getting errors with Fredo's round corner plugin. It has something to do with the Fredo libraries not installing properly on my machine.

Works fine for me with current SU Pro version (21.1.332)

Looking good Rich

SU Pro 2021 v21.1.332
Windows 10 Pro v 20H2 build 19042.1288
Smooth as silk on my end, no issues at all.

But I still don't know why in my main user account I still have errors

Has to be the way that account was setup (scratches head).

My only account on that laptop is admin and I had NO issues. It also runs the current Pro version with many plugins also with no issues.

My spare laptop did not have Make 17 installed. I down loaded fresh Make 17 install and installed it. Installed current LibFredo and then TopoShaper. Restarted SU and all went well. Something on your end with your user preferences/user setup.

Maybe that was what was weird looking to me TIG.

In your log file it shows your user ID as "Dell Precision". Do you log into windows under this user name? If so that's a little weird or not what one usually sees. My Dell Precision has my user name and not a machine description. I mean, that could be how you log in but it just seems not the norm.
Not sure if that helps but it just caught my eye. I'm running current version of Pro (did NOT right-click to install) and I installed TopoShaper this morning and it worked fine for me. I might fire my laptop up as it still has a copy of Make 17 on it or it did. Still might not help you

Very nice Joe!

Very cool and great work!

Glad to hear that you are doing better. Yes, we are not promised tomorrow so live each day to it's fullest! Stay safe friend and keep sharing your art.

So sorry to hear this Majid I wish you and your family and friends a speedy recovery.

Love it!

Now take that Chevy SB V8 out and put in a Ford engine!

LOL, nice exhaust header tutorial, great stuff! I just had some installed on my car last week. I should have took a shot at designing my own
Thanks for sharing.

I have been busy doing this...

Love this one! Landscapes are my favorite. Great job.

Can't one just download from 3DW to their local machine and then open in SU Web and then download to an older format? Yes a few extra steps but is this not possible? As a Pro subscriber I get SU Shop when I use the web version so I can't verify what the free web version does.

I wonder. Do we know, is SketchUp really a cash cow? I suspect the opposite.

I'd imagine that it's just a drop in the bucket. Trimble had their $$ and position LONG before buying SU.

Take care Majid and I hope you all get through it.

I had a copy of this way back when. Great little book.
