I understand your frustration but I imagine the operational costs of the 3DW is sizable and maintaining it retroactively for non-customers is a cost that's hard to swallow.

Also current paying customers are then propping up the service for non-customers. So that devalues the offering for existing customers.

Its all a bit of a mess to be honest. When the previous owner wanted 3d for everyone and the new owners are about maximising profits there's bound to be friction.

But the 3DW still remains accessible online just not integrated in legacy builds.

I see software licensing the same as supporting your local team. Some years you get success and others you just survive. But if you don't turn up to cheer the team when things are rough then you won't see success again.

Its a tough spot your in. You no longer enjoy the team but you are still a supporter. It's on them to win back your custom.

Don't invest your energy fighting though. That's better spent elsewhere.

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and it's fine now. Just weird I guess.

Do you mean Eneroth Axonometric Projection? It's available in the Extension Warehouse. In SketchUp go to Window>Extension Warehouse and search for it. It'll come up and you can install it automatically.

The name change from Layers was due to a long standing request made by many users to get rid of the term in SketchUp. New users invariably wouldn't learn how to use them correctly in SketchUp because they were treating them like Layers in 2D programs. That creates problems for them. Hopefully changing what they are called will help to reduce those problems.

With previous versions the rule has always been to leave Layer 0 as active, leave Layer 0 associated with edges and faces and only assign other layers to groups and components. The basics remain intact. The pencil icon should be set to Untagged, all edges and faces are untagged when they are created and remain untagged. Only groups and components get other tags.

As Dave R has suggested, using a texture would be the way to go. If you do prefer a vector method then maybe the following might help.

Extract or copy the curved face or, at least, copy the curved edge in order to have the new linework sit over the surface correctly. Define the arc centre of the curve. Model a single brick as a component. I used just the face with four sides converging to a single point at the arc centre. Once the model is populated with the brick component the bed & perpendicular joints can be adjusted by scaling the brick face. If you just have an arc edge then add some extra lines so that a face is formed on the ground plane (make it a group). The brick face should lie slightly in front of the wall face or arc line.

Single brick component

Next, rotate/copy the brick sufficient to give coverage across the wall width with some overlap. Group this first course and then copy it upwards to form the second course. Rotate to give the staggered joints.

First course with second copied up and rotated

Now group the first and second courses together and copy upwards to give vertical coverage to the wall. Place all of the bricks into one further group.

Completed wall of brick components

Push-pull the wall ground plane up to the top edge height needed to form a vertical face if you did not extract this from the model already.

Wall face created by push=pull

Select the brick group and the wall group. Run 'Intersect with selected'. When done, hide the bricks and the wall groups. You should now have just the intersected linework to represent the bricks in the curved wall. Select and group this linework and fit into the main model.

A bit long winded I know but an enjoyable afternoon diversion. I used only native SU tools.
