You all rock! Thank you.
I'm finding it hard to find hardware/materials that will import into Sketchup easily. Most things seems to be IGES, STP or SLDPRT. The SimLab is the first converter I found so I went with it.
Its odd for me to go after plugins/extensions and not have everything native to the program so I'm getting used to that.
I'm trying to trim a hinge to length for a door.
The hinge was a download from McMaster Carr in STP format and converted using Sim Lab Step Importer extension.
The hinge is only 12" long and I need 1'-7.75". So I copied the hinge along the frame and now need to trim the hinge to fit.
The hinge is not a solid according to Sketchup as I cannot use any of the Solid Tool operations to trim to length.
Is there a Plug in for this or a way to convert the hinge to a solid?
I come from many years of experience in CAD and Catia and I get frustrated in Sketchup with things that seems so simple to accomplish in other modeling software. Hoping there is a simple way to make this happen that I just haven't stumbled across yet.
I'm having an issue with draping circles onto a curved surface to mimic a perforated surface. It appears circles with a diameter of 1" cannot be draped? I've tested this on a flat surface to drape on a flat surface and it seems once you start getting above 4" diameter the circle won't drape.
Is this me or is this a software limitation?
