I would set up an edge-on scene and then, in LayOut, place the dimension between the bottom and the apex of the curve. [image: 1745538941837-screenshot-4_24_2025-6_54_15-pm.png]

@pace514 Go to the In Model Colors and select the material to edit it. (Click on the house icon.) You can't directly edit materials that are in the material libraries. You can only edit the In Model materials.

Thank a lot Dave ! Have a nice day ! Pace

To have SketchUp 2024 in English while keeping the rest of your apps in French, you can change the language settings specifically for SketchUp rather than the entire system. One way to do this is to check if SketchUp offers an internal language setting in its preferences menu, or you might need to reinstall the software, selecting English during the installation process. Unfortunately, if SketchUp doesn’t support independent language settings, you might need to keep your system in English while using SketchUp, or revert to French for everything.

@pace514 I installed the font and tried it. It shows up as Lato Hairline and it does work for me as 3D text. It's very thin. How tall is your text supposed to be? [image: 1711936895933-screenshot-3_31_2024-9_01_41-pm.png]

At work we've used a Shark HD5 for about 8 years. It's still going but we just recently bought a new Shark HD520. Yes, it's more than your budget but they are great machines. They have an HD500 for under $3K that has a 13x25x7 travel. Also comes with a copy of Vcarve Desktop software. Might be worth a look. Good luck

This link will work. Depending on your license, you might be able to go to SketchUp 2020.

@box said: You can have multiple instances of both open at the same time, the difference is Mac opens each within the Ap while windows opens another 'window'. Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

Oups ! I should have seen that... Thanks Dave !

Trim ! That's the one ! Thanks a lot Box !

Sorry ! I updated my profile

Thanks Box ! Stay safe ! Pascal

I don't believe that is an option in SketchUp 8 on Mac. There might be an extension that could do it.
