Thanks so much Rich, will do.

Dave, had layout created over multiple years, thus must have been available longer than 30d.
Many years ago replaced computer, then problems occured (not only with sketchup).

Doesn't matter, ultimately I will buy the new "commercial licence" despite not being commercially using it.
I was of course hoping that one day a trimble staff reads this hence why my words have deeper meaning (still hope and expect them to do that). Here is the best place to be if they want to make new generations loyal and sell more.

I just thought "why not ask here", after on the trimble forum I got smacked for asking Just where common sense tells they would most welcome that.

My question, maybe someone here knows? (and doesn't smack):
What is the cheapest price to nowadays have layout, any discount/coupon/voucher for those (older-than-students) who just "play around" for now with make - until one day (hopefully) setting up a business where sketchup skill would be useful?

PS (for the curious only):
I consider myself a beginner, and always will (so powerful it is), despite have played with sketchup for a decade. My %$··$" government hasn't given me my rightful correct ID and so my life is still(!) being put on hold unnecessarily, and I still cannot build the business that I've been wanting to build for years (building certain types of homes). Hence why I cannot possibly spend on commercial licences, yet, and that's the only thing that trimble sells if you are 30ys PAST student age

How daft. Microsoft know better, ha! Even &"%$ google do. Both nurture you to be loyal. And so you are. Few understand their business concept, hence why few have their success.

Wondering why layout? 'Cause I bought Matt's archit. package but cannot access the layout templates, not even view them, and realized the purchase was pretty pointless without following along what he explains. Strange thing is, I remember to have had layout (still have it), but since trimble took over (with their more noob business concept) you need a licence to view your own old layout files. I WANT them to earn money, no doubt, and am "happy" to pay them ALSO, just not agreeing to be considered a commercial user, since ... I am NOT. This fact alone shows how noob trimble's business concept and marketing is.

Now you know all my history, feelings, business background, and personal opinion, LOL, what's yours? All of it, please.

(yeah, it's "bank holiday" here, hence why I can write all this today )

OMG I just read this fantastic note from Edson in reply to Kris a decade ago:

@edson said:

"I find things like facebook and tweeter very distracting and disruptive to my concentration on my daily activities. in principle, I am against the amount of personal exposition people got used to recently and, besides, do not consider myself interesting enough to keep people informed about what I do or think.

Speaking from my heart, I couldn't agree more!

And so, thought I have to mention it.

As I too would never use fakebook or anything else from their, or doogle's, portofolio of exploiting human data, privacy, and weakness.

(Sorry, not criticizing anyone, just contributing my personal FEELING )

@Kris: A (late) ton of thanks! Will look at it, only just found it.

Hi all,

while I use shortcut to explode a selection, since you have to reselect within/below again and again, Smustard's "bomb" script is of great help of course.

But in the docu I cannot find how to limit "bomb" to the current selection and only "bomb" BELOW that. Anyone knows how to do this?

...and two years later there is a reply...

And yet another TEN years later there is another reply

I am truly sorry that I so often come so late! I seem to have missed the best 10 years of sketchup, or rather pf the entire internet.

Because today the formerly glorious internet has become a close-popups-close-autoplay-vids-close-cookie-confirmations-close-accept-privacy-not-accepted-close-your-eyes-or-suffer NIGHTMARE.

LOL

No, I am here to say: TIG, you ARE the man, indeed! SO MANY beyond-genious-beyond-cool-solutions I see from you! TIG for President!

aka get rid of the current joke, yeah.

Unfortunately the only version hosted here that worked is metric version.

Time to adapt. to. metric. system.
Note that I didn't say to learn: There's nothing to learn about metric system: it's intuitive. Hence why our two-year old could already use it. Try that with the imperial system.
It's really JUST your habit. that. stops. you.

I'm trying to design a house in the US, so this won't work.

How much proof do you need that even. US. houses. can. be. designed. and. built. per. metric system.

No offense, just funny.

Forget it, I figured it out Those then AREN'T components yet but groups, lol.
So: Right-click Make Component first, then it can be saved normally

Does one of you know why, for components downloaded from WH, sometimes right-click save component is offered, but many times is NOT offered? And how to save it locally nonetheless?
