I’m getting many flat-out crashes using Move-Pivot-Straighten, no bug splats, just no more Sketchup.

Thanks

They display randomly. Some look good, some are way small, some are front, ISO, side, top, views, and so on. I tried the custom thumbnail thing. I selected a component and context-clicked to set a thumbnail. It went to a folder the component wasn't in. The same goes for other components. It kept on going to the wrong folder.

Thanks everyone. I especially like the protractor tool idea. Still don't know why inference sometimes doesn't work (on an actual circle), alas.

This happens to me intermittently but often enough to be a real irritant. I can't find the center of a circle or an arc. Auto inference doesn't work and a selection of extensions does not seem to work either. I'm not sure if this is due to my particular setup or not.PVC/ABS 4" to 2" Reducer

Jim, This is a fantastic! Thanks.
Dave, Thanks for the help.

Same error as Bruce. I did as suggested for Bruce: removed files in the plugin folder, then renamed zip to rbz, installed, exited, restarted,and got the same error. I see grayscale in the Plugins Manager, but not a sign of it in Tools, Extensions, or context menu.

Excited to find this on Smustard, but it's not working for me on SU Pro 2016. It errors on loading. Me or has it not been updated?

Wow!Fantastic. Sometimes I can't see the birds for the trees. Thanks

I have dimensioning problems, but only when using a particular document template. All other templates used to create a new LO file seem to dimension fine. I've gone through the template and deleted everything, then purged all external file links in document setup. Basically I've got a blank template--still new files created with it do not dimension properly. Attached is a png of a 20'x40' rectangle top view, parallel projection, dimensioned in both SU and LO. I've also attached the offending layout file. Can anyone duplicate this behavior?

Bad Template

I found this link on how to align pattern fills in LO: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000027. It doesn't quite work as you'd expect though. Unlike the texture:position feature in SU where you move the texture to align it over a face, here you have to move the shape over the pattern-fill to align it.

I wanted the batt-insulation hatch to fill the stud bay from left to right.

1. I drew a rectangle and filled it with the pattern
2. I scaled the pattern
3. I traced over my viewport to make a shape the size of the stud bay
4. I brought the shape forward then laid it over the first rectangle so the pattern was aligned properly
5. I applied the fill to the shape. The applied pattern follows the alignment of the fill in the first rectangle.
6. I moved the stud bay shape back into it's original position with the fill aligned properly.

I sure wish there was an easier way to get decent hatches in LO.
