This is insane, ... maybe being an expert dedicated to modeling to final products or being a company doing all the modeling-to-final arch-viz services is different. i.e. https://www.mir.no/
Windows: for an extended extension (and not a simple plugin) with an own installer (EXEcutable) for a complete uninstallation (incl. e.g. program settings) you may want use the according uninstaller typically provided by the software control panel tool of the Windows control panel ("Win+R > control...").
Box, thanks to your advice/info I was able to modify the Large Toolbar and add some functions (including the erase tool). Here is what I now have in the top section of the Large Toolbar.

Also downloaded the Eneroth Solid Tools plugin for dealing with cutting window and door wholes in my log cabin walls. Like it better than the standard tools (for this situation).
Again, thanks for your feedback and assistance.
I tried Universal Importer and did not have much success, at least with the models I tried which was a rather complex one (see the model in my original post). One of the problems I have encountered with the dae files/models I have tried to import was missing faces.
I think the solution for me is to find an alternative source/sources to the 3D Warehouse since I can no longer download skp files from there.
I found the universal importer on this site very useful and allows the use of fbx files so additional resources there. I find the facet reducxtion aspect a little hit and miss but otherwise if works well.

When looking for resources, the sites I have on speed dial to coin a phrase are:-
https://3dsky.org/
https://cgmood.com/
These sites allow three models per diem but during holidays will allow a lot more. Depending on the depositer, the usual caveat of standar applies so cleaning up and dimensioning can be a chore.

There's no need to update this forum because there's a shiny new one only around the corner.
Just sorting out the last bits and pieces.
Great news!
Thanks rot this reply Fredo.
Just to let you know, my laptop died servers months ago so I cannot try D5 but I have seen several posts in the forum where others are using/trying it and it looks like an interesting program and they have a plugin for SketchUp so I thought I would let you know about it. Remember, I am a huge fan of Animator.

...or is it like the previous Classic license and I just quit getting updates and can continue using it? Also, does the Pro Annual plan include the iPad version?
that would be nice, shell out some peanuts and use it forever... scnr
yep, the SketchUp Go version for iPad is included.
I recently had to replace my lappie. I found a mid-level Gaming laptop offered the best bang for my buck.
The reasoning being that if it can run modern graphically intensive games it can certainly handle SU and rendering. And it does.
Cheers.

Yes, I have used (trial) Sketchfab in the past. It does have some neat features but it does not (to my knowledge) suppler animations (such as those created with Animator or dynamic components). You also have to upload your model to their site (as I remember).
Maybe I am just way out of line on this topic. I just would like to see things move up to the next step.
