Perfect ! Thanks TIG !

Here's my best guess. [image: Owgr_Capture1.PNG] [image: 0Rdm_Capture2.PNG] Laser meter.skp

It's not a good idea to copy extensions/plugins between computers or between different versions on the same computer. Install fresh copies of the extensions to make sure that you get current versions and get them installed correctly. For extensions from Sketchucation that you installed using the Sketchucation tool, you can install your bundle from one computer to the other. Otherwise you need to just search for an install extensions one at a time. You could copy any custom components, materials, and styles though.

No. SketchUp does not have an automation interface on Mac or on Windows. The nearest thing is an external utility that simulates keypresses, but that isn't really what you want.

Thanks, glad to help

I think what @pace514 means is that when he records a wall in 3D with the disto, it turns out not to be truly vertical, maybe only by a few mm's, hence he can't push/pull the resulting face. It's probably quicker to survey in 2D. If measuring a series of internal rooms, why not survey in plan format...measure the lengths of the walls corner to corner, all the ground floor will be at, say 0.00m level, push/pull the walls up 2.40m say to get the to the ceiling, push/pull the doors & window openings, then group the walls. Allow for the floor thickness and do the same on the upper floors. I know you are not using the Leica DISTO S910 to its full potential but in the case of a home survey, with no commercial benefit, it's safe to assume the walls and corners are vertical and 90°. Move from room to room and take a few diagonal check measurements, a few through open doors to distant walls, do the fine detailing at the end when you are happy with the overall shape. Don't forget to check the wall thickness's as you go, at window/door openings, the structural walls may be thicker and walls upstairs may be thinner as they ate not supporting as much weight. The Disto will be very handy when measuring inaccessible points, roof pitch/height/angle etc. have a look at the video below for working in 3D mode... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX8AVHZY464

machine specs before and after component change would be helpful

Temporarily assigning axes to the angled parts will help in locking axial move processes. Select the parts you want to move and move then to where you want them. Using shift to lock to axes [including temporary axes settings] will help. A few more guidelines to lock move direction to and snaps will also help. Because you have structured you model in a certain way you will need to edit the parts in turn. For some of it... after you have made the changes to the 'walkway', it might be quicker to delete the 'wrong' railings and simply remake them from other already correctly made assemblies...

When I launch Thomas Thomassen's editable text tool, it pops up on the left monitor instead of the right one where I typically run SU. Can this be remedied? I have TT's library version 2.12.3. And can it be improved so we can immediately start typing into it without first having to deal with the default string of text that reads "Enter text"? (Or have said text pre-selected like the native tool does?) [image: h5rW_TTseditabletexttooldialogueboxonwrongscreen.JPG]
