RE: 2026 Point Cloud
As it turns out, using the Extension Manager did not really uninstall the Trimble Scan Essentials plugin. However, do to some replies from others, I did get the issue resolved.
OK, I finally got everything setup correctly now. It was kind of an awkward process but here is what I did:
- First I uninstalled 2026
- Then I made sure all plugins were up to date in 2025
- Then I clicked on the check for update in 2025
- Now I ran the update option in 2025 to install 2026
- When the process for installing 2026 ran, I deselected the Trimble Scan Essentials, Revit Importer and V-Ray
- Everything is now running fine and the Trimble Scan Essentials is finally gone and all of my plugins are installed and things are now the way I want them.
Once again, I really want to thank everyone (on the SketchUp and SketchUcation forums) for the replies and insight of how to get things going correctly again.
As I said in the original post, I have been gone for a while. Now I can get back to using SketchUp (latest version) again.

RE: 2026 Point Cloud
Just to let everyone know, I finally got the whole issue resolved. As it turned out, all I had to do was go to the Extension Mager and uninstall the Scan Essentials plugin.
I appreciate all of the response.

RE: 2026 Point Cloud
@L-i-am Thank you sir. That is a better explanation than any of the sources I read.

2026 Point Cloud
I have been away from SketchUp for a while. I just updated to SU 2026 and there is a feature that I am not familiar with. I see a toolbar for Point Cloud, however:
-
Can someone give me good explanation of what Point Cloud is?
-
Is there a way to remove or move the toolbar for the Point Cloud?

RE: SketchUcation Forum Interface
OK, I just tried both of the items I mentioned before and they both seem to be working again.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. I thought I had done something that "broke" things.

SketchUcation Forum Interface
I use my iPad most of the time to view the forum posts. In the last few days I have noticed a couple of changes that are not working well for me:
-
The checkboxes at the right of a post does not seem to be working. There are times I use the checkboxes at to select a topic that I then want to marl as βreadβ without actually reading them. It is no longer working for me on my iPad. It will not allow me to click the checkbox.
-
I also used to click just below a threads name and it would take me to the last entry in the thread. This no longer seems to be an option. I enjoyed this option (particularly for long threads) so that I did not have to scroll through the entire thread to read the lares posts.
Am I doing something wrong or have there been changes that are not working well on my iPad?

RE: Sketchucation Tools 5.0.3
@TIG
Thanks for your reply and instructions. Sorry I missed your post yesterday.I think I was able to identify that I had only added one plugin and via your instructions, I think I was able to delete it. It is no longer showing up.

RE: Sketchucation Tools 5.0.3
@Rich-O-Brien said in Sketchucation Tools 5.0.1:
- 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.

RE: Sketchucation Tools 5.0.3
OK - I have not done anything in SketchUp for about 6 months. I updated Sketchucation Tools yesterday and have some comments/questions:
First of all, I think I accidentally/stupidly clicked on the Install like for some plugins yesterday. I do not know which ones they were other than Find and Report. So,

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

How do you go about deleting/uninstalling a plugin?
I will have to get used to the new interface for managing the SketchUcation plugin UI but I think it will just require a little patience on my part. As an example, on the Bundles page, there is a Remove column, but 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?

RE: Contemporary Home
I am feeling really stupid since I have not done something like this on my iPhone before.
-
What are the steps to do that on an iPhone?
-
How do I store it with my other emojiβs or images that you can use in a text message?
-

RE: Contemporary Home
Love the animated emoji. Is there some place I can get these for use on my iPad?

RE: My Default Template
@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.

RE: My Default Template
@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.

RE: My Default Template
@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.

RE: My Default Template
@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!!!!
