Some more learning

Here is my latest render. Some progress I think but one thing I am still struggling a little with is setting the scene in SketchUp so that it will produce the view I want in the render.

@majid

Wish I had the talent to do things like this.

Wow, what a great start!

Just curious, what tools/plugins (if any) did you use to draw this?

I was thinking about trying this myself. I was thinking about putting the image as a background and then drawing on top of it.

@Rich-O-Brien said in Twinmotion 2025 ecosystem:

I just want SketchUp to remove the yearly charge and let me purchase perpetual as I see fit.

O
I, I figured it out………

@majid
As usual, Majid - nice work. I wish I had the talent to generate something like this.

@majid Looks great Majid.

I have a web page that is used to show SU model. It has 3 iframe oh the page. One of the iframe is a list of models. A second iframe will show the model a the third iframe swill show the model information. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the model name (in iframe 1) show the selected model in iframe 2 and a full description about the model in iframe 3.

I have looked at several web sites and have not found a solution yet.

We are not SketchUp or Trimble so maybe vent on their platforms

I spent a couple of years in Germany while I was in the US army (late 1966 to late 1968) and I think I drove through Munich but am not sure.

@Gus-R Well done sir!

@Dave-R said in My Default Template:

Toolbar placement has nothing to do with templates.

I understand that part.

@Dave-R said in My Default Template:

The toolbar positions and visibility states are saved in PrivatePreferences.json in your User/AppData/Local/SketchUp/SketchUp2025/SketchUp folder. AppData is normally a hidden folder. Make hidden folders visible in File Explorer. Then go to that folder and delete the .json file.

OK, I will go give that a try.

Reboot your computer and then open SketchUp and set up your toolbars. Open a model file and save it. Then close SketchUp and open it again and see if the toolbar placement has remained.

I would suggest before you do the above that you remove that license and then sign in with your subscription license instead.

I was able to delete the beta license but I am not getting an option to sign in. I went to the Manage Account and I am seeing 2 accounts.

This is really beginning to challenge my patience.

@ntxdave Well, I just went to the SU site and downloaded the install again.

• Once again, I ran as administrator but again, I did not see an option for doing the repair.

• After the installation was complete, I started SU and then went to view the license info. Here is what I see: Notice that it says beta.

• I then rebooted my laptop and opened SU.

• Now I started SU and deleted the Shadows toolbar.

• Once again, I started SU but the Shadows toolbar was still there.

I am beginning to really feel stupid. I have used SU for several years and have never seen a problem like this. I know that you should always do the installation "as administrator" but nothing seems to be working for me. I really do not understand what is going wrong and how to correct it.

I really need some assistance.

@Box Well, I think I just made a mess of things. I went into SketchUp and it said there was a newer version so I clicked on it and it ran the installation. However:

• I did not see an option to run as administrator

• I went and looked in the downloads folder and I do not see the exe for the latest version.

I guess I will have to go to the SketchUp site and download again and try to do this all over. I think I have created a real mess.

@Box said in My Default Template:

People have been asking for years for a way of saving toolbar positions, it hasn't happened yet.

So there is now way to "save" the toolbar settings/posotions! Ouch, that means every time I try to start a new model or update and existing one, there is no way to include the new toolbar layout.

I appreciate your response. I have been using SU for many years now and have not ran into this situation before. I did rearrange by toolbars but when I close SU and then reopen it, it still has my old layout. DUH!!!!

@Box So, you are saying there is no way to accomplish what I want?

@Box can it also be because of the name I used for the template “Dave Template”?


This is what I see but it does not include the updates I made. Perhaps when I make the updates and then try to save it, I am not saving it properly. So, given this update, what do you think I am doing wrong?

Agin, I just tried it, I opened SU, with the "Dave Template", made the changes I wanted (I removed the Shadows toolbar and added the Sandbox toolbar) and then I saved the opened file as a template with the name "Dave Template". I closed SU then launched it again and selected the "Dave Template" and it still had the old toolbars. Perhaps I should be saving it someplace special so that the updated toolbars are part of the "Dave Template" when I start a new model. Again, what the heck am I doing wrong.

Yes, I did it as Save as template and I said I wanted it to be my default template but when I open SU again it does not have thr changes I made.

I have tried creating a default template in SketchUp 2025 but it does not seem to save it to the correct place. I thought I had saved it to the correct location but when I start SU 2025 it does not show the template I just saved as the new template.

In particular, I started SU 2025 with my template. I then modified things (deleted the shadows toolbar and added the sandbox toolbar). But, when I restart SU 2025 and select what I thought I had set up as my revised template, it does not launch SU with the newer version of my template.

What the heck am I doing wrong?

@tuna1957 Well, I am beginning to learn but I have a LONG way to go.
