@ntxdave Dave, Box posted a link in his last post. Smash and it’ll get you there.

I did look at his link (I do not have Facebook) and I really did not find what I was looking for in the other link. However, I went to the Sketchup Tutorials and looked at one of the links there and finally found what I was looking for. Now I am trying to learn some things again. I really appreciate the help I am getting.

Although I used SketchUp for several years, I have been away for several months and am having to learn some things all over again. I guess that is what happens as we age (I have to look back to see 80).

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich, Gus & TIG. I finally got my act together and was able to figure things out before seeing these last posts. Here is my result (but I like the stuff you guys did as well).

I guess this "exercise" exemplifies my age and lack of use lately.

@tuna1957 I have been trying that but so far am not doing very well (making me feel pretty dumb). 🤪

On thing I do have a little problem with in the videos is that he obviously enters info in the text boxes that you cannot see in the video. I will continue watching and figure things out. Maybe this is what happens as we age and are away for a while.

My latest practice/learning experiment. The Bently car is from the 3D warehouse (do not remember who the contributor/designer was - Sorry).

I wish I had the skill and knowledge to do things like this.

@ntxdave OK, I adjusted the items you pointed out. And I should have mentioned before that the material was Disney Metalic. However, I made some adjustments:

• Dialed back the metal
• Increased the roughness
• Dialed back the IOR

Hope you find this on to be improved.

@Dave-R Very nice sir!

You said all SketchUp. Did you use any plugins? I wish I had the knowledge/skill to do something like this. I am not an artist or engineer and see many post from people like you and am very impressed.

@Box Thank you sir! I finally got things working correctly and was able to "play around" a little. The image below represents what I figured out using the FredoScale tools. I greatly appreciate your help.

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

@ntxdave

• Is there a way to find out which plugins I installed yesterday?

Use the Filters dropdown and choose Installed

• How do you go about deleting/uninstalling a plugin?

Use Extensions > Extension Manager

I do not see any link to be able to remove one of the plugins on the list of plugins in the list. Am I missing something?

You can't remove extensions from the current device's Bundle

Thanks a lot for the reply/ Somehow, I missed it yesterday. I wish that the Installed list would show when the plugin was installed. I think I figured out that I had only installed one new plugin and thanks to you and @TIG I was able to identify it and remove it.

As always, nice work and good inspiration.

OK, I finally had the opportunity to begin working with the application. Thank you again for the link. It has me going.

I obviously have a long wat to go and MANY things to explore but again, you link has me off and running. It will take some exploring and "trying" but at least I have a starting point.

All I have done so far is work with the vector graphics tool so I need to do some additional learning/practicing. This looks like a really exciting tool to learn.

JMJ, it is not fair to post snap shots.

Again, some excellent work!

Another great one!
