Well done @Leggy

@Leggy said in Annoying pop up: so just scale down by 0.001 then export and we should be spot on in mm No. As I wrote: said in Annoying pop up: No need to scale those models down. And as @Box wrote. I've shown examples like this before. The SketchUp model: [image: 1756390018225-53845887723_431de704e7_o.png] And the 3D printed object. [image: 1756390035664-53845887438_c3b7a0281b_c.jpg] No scaling of the model required. The .stl file was exported at Model Units (meters). but the slicer reads the dimensions as millimeters.

@Leggy said in Strange corners: the layer lines go up from there So there's an overhang? Might need to add support. Check to see that all movements on the printer and the bed are tight enough. I had an issue on my printer where the screws holding the bed to the carriage were loose. Once in a while the bed would shift during a paid movement and cause a deformation in the print. I tighted the screws and the problem disappeared.

Hi It’s now doing the same thing on my new m2 Mac mini, have to save as , then able to carry on So frustrating

@leggy said: Could you explain the solid tools a bit more They are part of SketchUp. There's already extensive help docs under the help menu on how to use them. It's a boolean subtract method. So select the cutter then the target and click Subtract. Go make a coffee, read the news and watch the clouds for a bit. When you come back it'll be done.

I managed to open it through one drive Nice piece of work Thanks Dean

I have one of the scanect mark 2 scanners, I took them about 6 months to get the apps sorted out, so many little problems, bad battery life , unable to calibrate About a month ago we got it all dialed in,but still we’re having problems I’m on complete lock down for 2 weeks so I’ll play with it more Anyone else out there into scanning yet?

If wishes were fishes.... Considering the iPad Pro use iOS and SketchUp doesn't support that, it is probably a non-starter.

The only things I saw where the cursor wasn't visible was when he made a group after context clicking on the selected geometry and then when he moved the cursor to bring the Entity Info panel up to show that it's a solid group.

I cant seem to upgrade.... was always no problem before I get my weekly update , and 2-3 apps are not updated, Will send a screen shot Thanks dean

it seems SU was offline everything fine today

Hi I see now its in solid inspector, I've downloaded thanks again Dean

Hi everyone, I came across this thread while looking for discussions about generating threads in SketchUp. I know it's an old topic, but since it still gets a lot of views, I thought it might be useful to share a solution I've developed. [image: 1741950723105-cover.jpg] I’ve created a SketchUp plugin that automates the creation of threaded parts (bolts, nuts, internal threads, etc.). What makes it different is that it generates threads from a custom tooth profile, making it compatible with any type of thread, including multi-start threads. Key Features: Generate threaded rods, nuts, and internal threads in just a few clicks Works with any thread profile – metric, imperial, trapezoidal, custom, etc. Supports multi-start threads Here’s a demo video showcasing how it works: https://youtu.be/Fkf5j-hS8sU?si=-xgwl_lkRdeAQph9 (The video is in French, but you can turn on YouTube subtitles and auto-translation.) The plugin is available here: For the US users: https://fabcnc.gumroad.com/l/threads-filetages For the EU users: https://payhip.com/b/3j7ZF If anyone here still needs an easy way to create threads in SketchUp, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

No one using a Mac Pro?

I found the problem My old pc worked well with my 2 5 year old 32" screens So I hooked the Mac mini up to my 65" in the living room and I could change the resolution to fit When I tried it with the smaller screen the resolution I needed wasn't there Put it back on the big one.... no problem Thanks for all your help
