      I wound up doing the same thing. I wanted to make it Ctrl+W but could not get it to work.

      Once again, I want to thank all of you for your responses. As I said earlier, this is not my first model and I have been using SU for several years. Just doing things far different from what I am working on now. @Box was right on. I finally did it correctly and it worked exactly the way I wanted it to. My dimensions are slightly off (VERY minor) but I got it to do exactly what I wanted. . I have some other challenges but hope I can share what I am doing in a couple of days. You will all wonder what the heck was so difficult.

      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.

      Check your SU preferences and the location of your templates folder and see if it exists. It may sound odd but since I had a left over install of SU I had to create a dummy users folder for my install. It's a backwards fix but it worked just fine for me.

      I guess you mean the one with the V on it, that when clicked activates the vertex tool, hmm what could it be.

      @tuna1957 Thank you. I thank you for the reference to the FredoScale tool and its ability to twist. It helped me begin to visualize some things like you have been doing. I just need to practice/experiment more.

      @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. [image: 1728147597308-fredoscalesample.png]

      @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. [image: 1727289750598-revised-bently-model.png]

      @ntxdave The current version of SketchUcation Tools works on versions >= v2017 If you have bundles relating to other versions [newer or older], then you should be able to use them in v2020...

      @Rich-O-Brien Yes I had done that before but for some reason it did not work. It now worked so I think all is OK. Thanks for the support.

      OK still a little more progress. Noticed a problem in the model so fixed it and re-rendered. [image: 1720457840694-blower-dryer-mammoth_rayscaper-v2.png] Then I played with another setting and like this one a little more. [image: 1720457885806-blower-dryer-mammoth_rayscaper-v3.png] I am going to start another thread about Rayscaper Learning-Practice as I continue to learn how to render with Rayscaper and also a place to ask questions.
