@Leggy Never experienced it. Best thing to do is rule out extensions by renaming your plugins folder to prevent it loading to see if running in vanilla remedies it. If yes, then you need to track down what is causing the issue. If no, it maybe be hardware related so poke about the settings to see if lowering values sort things out.

@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

Are you asking me? I don't have a current tutorial but it's not especially difficult. Work with units set to Meters and enter millimeters as meters. So for a 6mm screw, draw it as 6 meters. I use Curve Maker's Helix tool to create a helical path for the threads. For that 6mm screw and working in meters, the radius will be 3 meters and the height per turn will be 1 meter. Then I draw the profile based on dimensions available just about anywhere. If you are modeling external threads you'll wind up drawing a face with a V-shaped notch in it. Draw this is place at the bottom of the helix. Then explode the group containing the helix. Use Eneroth Upright Extruder to extrude the face up the helix. As far as terminating the threads, it depends on what you need. Generally you'd draw a shape that matches the end of the screw and intersect that with the threads. For the bottom end of the external threads on this machinists jack I drew a cone and intersected it with the threads to get the chamfer. I used a similar cone on the top of the jack base for the internal threads. At the top of the screw I used a shape like you'd get with a round-nosed tool if you were turning that section of it on the lathe.

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
