I seem to recall that it is possible to affix or paste text to faces in models. I've forgotten how to do it and cannot find any instructions searching here or in the guide.

BTW: Is the D'oh Book searchable?

TIA

When I tried that I was able to open my model file but only in read-only mode. I went to my File Explorer and clicked on it to open and was able to edit the model and save it.

Don't have any idea what I did to start.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!!

Is SU 2017 Make no longer free?

After using it last night, when I tried to open it today, I got this screen:

It seems to be forcing me to Pro. Is this the case? Can I still open SU 2017 Make? If so, how?

EDITED TO ADD:
I was able to open SU files in Read-Only mode but cannot continue my model and save it.

D'oh!

Thanks a bunch!!!

In a model of an offset strap hinge, I've been able to get everything I intended for the first pass - except - how to show a countersink.

I've got the outside diameter at 1/4" and the inside diameter at 1/8". I even got the angle from the outer circle edge to the inner circle edge. I thought that I could use the Follow Me tool and create the sloping countersink, but I get a message saying that Follow Me doesn't work with circles.

I know I've done this before but it has been about 3 years since I last used SU. Could someone please give me some guidance?

Thanks, Dave!!

Clearing cache and history allowed me to log in to the 3D Warehouse

When I try to log in to 3D Warehouse, what credentials should I be using? I thought that since I had to set up a Trimble ID that it would be those credentials that I would use to log in. I have tried that without success. I get the message shown in the attached screenshot. My Trimble ID credentials are NOT the same as the ones I use to log in here. I copied and pasted both the email address and password to avoid typos.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, again, Dave!

I was able to set up a Trimble. I got the email and verified the account and got a message saying I was successful. Now, however, when I go to the 3DW in SU2017Make and choose the sign in option, I'm given a panel asking for email address, first and last name and password. I then get an error saying that the password must contain special characters; however, I copied and pasted it from the password manager software where I got it to create the account.

I'm beginning to believe it's a case of 'you can only go there if you've been there before but you can only go once.'

I must be dumb as a whole box or rocks because I can't find a way to set up a Trimble ID.

I get to a panel that asks for an email address, but whatever I enter comes back as an invalid email address. I get to this by choosing the 'set up a Trimble password' option.

I've searched the Trimble web page without success. I've come to it from the 3D Warehouse page to provides the information saying that to continue to sign in with google requires a licensed copy. I want to set up a Trimble ID and continue to use the free SU Make 2017 version.

How do I get past this impasse?

If I have Trimble credentials, I don't know what they are. Should I just create a new account? I didn't have to provide any to download the free SU Make 2017.
