It was just a typo. All's good. Thanks!

The license purchase page for Thrupaint says it's for Visuhole. Is this just a typo? I already own Visuhole.

I know this post is like a thousand years old, but I was using the "extract_png.rb" from "Jim". It doesn't seem to work in SU2023. I need this to compile a catalogue of all of my components. Is there an updated version out there somewhere? I really need this. Thanks in advance!

I'm just now discovering your plugin, Tig. I'm having an issue when copying a component that is "punched" through a wall. It deletes the faces that it's punching through. I don't know if it's the component or if HPT isn't compatible with SU2023. I've attached a video and the model. Also, I noticed that I can't undo after punching. Is that intended? Thanks in advance for taking a look at it.

Spelling correction

Nothing then?

Hello, I've been trying to learn how to animate my model using your Animator plugin. I'm experiencing and issue when animating along a path. I choose the object and then choose the path as instructed. When I choose the path, Animator puts it out in space and then rotates the object I'm trying to move along it. I'm also, seeing that after I get a few animations saved, objects that I've already animated don't move back to their original positions after I click the "back to start" icon. Lastly, are you still actively developing Animator? I see great potential for this. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm having an issue where the Paint Face toolbar won't load. I've attached a screenshot and the console log. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi. Sketchup is intermittently crashing when I add/overwrite components to ComponentFinder. I'm also getting the Bugsplat when I close Sketchup. I reinstalled both Sketchup and ComponentFinder, but the issue persists. Thanks for any assistance.

Windows 10
Sketchup Pro 2022
ComponentFinder 1.6.0

Can not add plugins to favorites by clicking on heart icon in Plugin Store 4.1.

I see huge potential in this plugin. What would make it infinitely more useful is the ability to expose variables to a user. Through a dialog box or something. Do you see that coming in the future? Thanks in advance.

Unchecking "Validate Results" and "Erase Duplicate Faces" in the settings menu speeds things up immensely on larger models. If I want to erase duplicate faces later, I usually set it to go at the end of the day.

Hasn't anyone else had problems with this tool in v. 2019? It has slowed considerably as to be mostly useless (i.e. you can do the cleanup faster yourself). It seems to be related to file size though you are only working on a selection. The larger the file, the slower it is.

It's too bad. It was one of the greatest tools!

Hey all, I have a DC that incorporates a drop-down list. I had to add a row to it and now I can't figure out how to change the order easily. Is there a way to change the order without deleting everything and starting over? I've attached a screenshot to help clarify. The example is pretty simple to fix, but what if I had to move it to the top? Then it becomes an issue. Thanks.

Been busy and just saw your reply. Thanks for the help pcmoor!

pcmoor, Thanks again for the model. I was able to figure out how to add more shelves. I was wondering if you have the time if could you walk me through the DC and how you made it. I'm trying to move beyond the easy stuff. Some of Sketchup's explanations of DC functions are confusing at best. Thanks in advance.

Just saw this. Had forgotten about it. Thanks very much!

Hi All, I've created a rack unit with a number of shelves. I need to be able to control the individual shelf heights. In other words, I want to index the copied shelves and let the user determine what height each shelf is. I know this can be done I just don't know how. Can't find a simple example to follow. I've attached the model. Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

Hello, Component Finder is a great extension. In a future release could you please allow a way to see the file path somewhere? I have 2 folders on different servers containing the same components. One is a personal folder for my components and the other is a user folder. I've on occasion had the wrong folder open in the Component Finder window. Thanks.

Hi Jkoll, Thanks!
When we first started working on ComponentFinder we thought of showing the full path, but we found that it added a lot of unnecessary clutter to the screen, and in most cases it seemed like it's not needed.

We may add the possibility of viewing the full path in future versions...

If possible, you could try renaming the folders to avoid confusion. If you can't rename, for the time being, you can click on the little hard disk button every now and then which would open the source folder. It would serve as a double-check to make sure you're in the correct place.

The problem is that the contents of my personal folder are Robocopied nightly into the user folder. I can rename the parent folder, but there are child folders that can't be renamed. Maybe you could incorporate a tool tip that flies out from the folder name when you hover over it? Thanks.

Hello all, I have a piece of conveyor used to divert boxes off of the main line. I have a group of wheels set up as components. The issue I have is if I change the width to anything larger than 18" and then change the divert direction the copied wheels do not change position. Although, it does appear that they do rotate correctly. If I then change the width back to 18" and then to a larger width they copy fine. How can I get them to change position correctly when resizing? Please see attached file. Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I am just starting to get around the Vray trial. I have a section of conveyor that uses a texture in place of rollers. It looks fine in Sketchup. I changed the material settings in V-ray to simulate a metallic look. When I rendered it the texture on the curve shrank. I have attached pics. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
