@Dave-R Thanks for the reply anyway.

@nickchun glad you got it sorted. I presume you used the previous version of the ExtensionStore tool to update to the current one. Periodically open the UI. It'll check any extensions that it installed for updates, including itself, and let you know if there are updates to install.

Thanks for the reply. Ah, I see, the client wants matte surfaces. That makes sense.

I sent you a PM

Thanks Fredo, I was obviously looking in the wrong place. this doesn't happen with my desktop PC so it might be a quirk of this laptop.

It's a VERY old script from @Last It's in the PluginStore - together with parametric_grid... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=parametric By now they are really 'example' code... And therefore unlikely to work perfectly in newer versions...

@Dave-R Yes, I avoid modifying the camera in LO. At least I have a better understanding of this glitch now and can compensate for it. I also need to be more concise with my models and make better use of tags and visibility. I'm also fortunate enough to have Studio here with the massive power of Vray 6, which is a great incentive to be more organised with it's render layer capabilities.

Thanks for reminding me, I had actually forgotten that

Hi guys, sorry I haven't replied yet, I've had no internet all weekend. I have cleaned up the model and uploaded it as SU version 8 farmhouse chair for SU8 plus.skp

Pyscho, that's the one. Updating profile very soon. Soonly soon..

Thanks Dave that's a good point. I need to update my templates anyway with the onset of the new EU data protection laws coming in.

Very good. I'm happy you're all set.

Okay thanks for that, I will try it tomorrow

Ok thanks. I have updated everything and I still get the bugsplat every time I try and use(still on 2017). Perhaps it is related to another plugin I have installed. I will try to disable them all and see if it makes any diiference

No I don't actually, I rarely use it at all.

Thanks for your replies guys. Didn't find those plugins before because their names don't relate to my search keywords. Canvas is the only one anything like what I was after but it isn't maintaining the glueing plane of my components. I have also had a 'Doh!' moment- I can copy and paste the component. Not something I have ever done before so didn't think of it at first. Not as convenient a method but works. Thanks Nick

Thanks, I have had a look at the components but they do not have what I would consider small parts. It's still a bit of a mystery.

@jql said: It's not easy for 100 labels and it's not easy if you want to change label position. Maybe so, but from 101 to infinity it is fairly easy to set right/left/center justify. Select Label.....Text Style.......Right/Left justify.....font size etc. and Go. Now if OP wants auto justify in relation to leader position, than I can see this as a useful feature. (with option to turn on/off if required) Or, when moving a label and the leader flips from L to R auto text justify would also be a time saver here. Charlie

Ok thanks. Will have to work around it. I do have a bright green reverse face which is a tip I picked from you Dave from an old post.

Careful...you could get "dragged and drop-kicked" in here if you don't look out.
