thanks a lot tuna1957!

Thanks Bryan and Mike even though "for only liking it only a lot" which is a so cool saying I first had to strive my brain a little bit

Thank you Box for this so fast given and good tip - I'm already testing, since I'm not checking the input parameters right yet It would be great if I could tackle any source geometry at 3 points in order to assign these 3 points to any new target as a copy, possibly supplemented by the option of repeating this operation e.g. 10 times...

... thank you all for your kind comments and Nlipovac, too bad, it's not in nice

Multiple offset by sdmitch is top!

thank you all above and thank you L i am. L i am, yes your film reference "Wages of fear" is also a classic movie here in Germany and I don't know how many times I have seen it already I had to do some googling first to find out which film you mean. Not that we would live behind the moon, but it's a real German plague to often title films with completely stupid new German titles - in this case "Lohn der Angst" they stayed exactly with the original.

thanks jo-ke and chedda

very nice. I like the bedspread

@tig said: ...What path does the Preferences show for template files ? Thanks Tig for your clarifications and these exactly reflect my preferences. For my custom templates I have set: C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\SketchUp\Templates for the tempates directory. While these "annoying" templates had been actually located here: C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\Resources\en-US\Templates First and 0nly the complete deleting of all the original templates within the program path directory made them disappear from the welcome window.

thanks Dave, almost I'm a bit relieved now, because I thought I was too silly to find that

Thanks and Prima Juju this comes out clean, smooth and soft like baby skin - thanks for this way that was not in my mind so far. Now I just have to figure out how to do that in my video editor I´ve never used this technique before

Nice work, would love to see this applied as skin to a building.

@george said: Before setting up your scenes... Window > Model Info > Animation > Disable Scene Transitions. Each scene will then retain its individual North setting... sorry George - somehow I missed your so helpful contribution - thanks for that and yes, that's exactly how it finally works now Thanks to all again and hopefully I'll really remember it this time

wow - and thanks for this lines representation which is a really nice option (for me updating is like fashion - lots of room for improvements )

Cracking results mate, very nice.

Thanks a lot Box - a prima hint, I didn´t have this good tool in mind

@mike amos said: A very fine job mate. @bryan k said: That turned out great! thanks a lot

thank you - yes, that would be a banal but so convenient thing

Very sharp, thanks for the heads up mate.

@gd3design said: Here is my workflow:... thank you very much for your answer - first I have to understand step by step what you recommend and consider how and with which means I can implement your suggestions - so for example I still can't understand that Vray (which is not in our use) might be able to be helpful here... Hopefully i was clear above - my question is how to extract pure model data from any IFC file. In a current case I was able to import a 90 mb ifc file which grows in SkUp to 500 mb skp file which for me is no longer editable unfortunately I often don't have any influence on files which will be made available...
