    • RE: Extinction of geometry

      Clipping plane extension does not resolve the problem, (bought it) which has actually become a problem just recently with the 2020 SKP update. I mean, yes this has always been in SKP, but recently it's absolutely impossible to work, I have no idea what has happened.... 😞
      Could it be anyhow problems with personal templates or file settings...? I have noticed that some files work better when I copy and paste them into the older templates I used before.

      p.s.
      it's clear for me that itis something in the SKP templates I used. Since I have restored some older ones and use them, it's +/- "fine" again.... ❗ ❓ but still very disturbing..

      That would be a nice way. A pity its not on standard tools 😞

      Of course, you can always count if you know arch radius and segments (all that you can see in Entity info ) or copy arch/ explode it, select all and then you will be able to see the length of exploded arch in Entity info.

      There isn't a tool to make an arc dimension line. You can do that manually and add the dimension you read from Entity Info. There's no need to explode the arc.

      Hi
      but how/ where? You have to explode to see the length/ or is there another method?
      See images, please.


      not exploded arch shows radius and segments


      exploded/ can see length of one segment


      exploded/ chooses all and can see total length

      hmm, you have done it with "Sharp corners in 3D" and have choose one segment property for round corner.
      But can you repeat the same with "Bevel edges and corners" ?

    • Damaged lines in Hybryd and Vector modes?

      Hi

      I am a bit confused. Since I use Windows 8.1 I have noticed these problem. Does anyone have the same.
      See attached. Same section cut in Raster looks perfect, its perfect in 3D, but after Vector our Hybrid renders in the layout it becomes "damaged".

    • Push pull all 4 edges at once our scale?

      Hi

      sorry. maybe silly question.

      If I have to get 2mm smaller panel...all for eges must become 2mm smaller.. I use push pull to push 2mm for each edge. Is there faster ways...?
      Thickness should remain as it is.

    • RE: Router trace

      I must say thay Woodworking video tutorial seems too complicated. And with more complex router shape it will turn into nightmare. I made like attached. Maybe not so bad idea. But I would like to have some plugin who can make trace cut by given routers parameters and shapes. A wish 😄

    • Router trace

      Hi

      I am interested in different techniques for router trace drawing.
      Imagine you have nice flat MDF panel, lets say kitchen door. You are milling a profile on it with some router. So I want to discover the fastest way of drawing techniques to draw it. Maybe some smart simple plugin...
      It has to represent that router real trace. Like attached image. Inside corner will be sharp, outside corner will keep routers radius.

    • Problems with small radius and follow me tool

      Hi

      Recently I have been asked about a problem in SU- how to make small curved pipe our solid with small radius. Looks like its a problem in SU. Native tools "Follow me" does not work. Other plug-ins like "pipe along path" our "convert lines to tubes" have same problem. I have tried to make these and without any success.
      What to do? Is there any good plug in, our.....? Please suggest.

    • Export "clean" dxf from SU

      Please suggest how to do best. I export details to DXF for laser cut machine. In SU radius is nice line, not spitted in segments but in autocad it is in segments and I have to redraw all radiuses in autocad to have them in one line and only then I can join all lines in one poly line.

      What do i do wrong?

      Thanks.
