SUbD fun with furniture

I've never seen or tasted Twinkies and for obvious reasons they couldn't have a brand name in the game.

Nor do I know what this even does in the game. But it was a fun challenge. The texture did all the work.

Did you try using Skimp?

It fails at frame 252 with the following in the console

Credit are for tiles which is the Pay-as-you-go version not the Subscription

PlaceMaker Credits - SketchUp PlaceMaker

PlaceMaker Credits PlaceMaker Credits are the new universal credit system for V3 and future versions of the PlaceMaker Plugin. Instead of different credits for different products as in our previous version, the new credit system is much more flexible and has several advantages: * Credit prices and import costs are subject to change. Credits are...

SketchUp PlaceMaker (www.suplacemaker.com)

As subscription allow you to buy Credits at a lower rate

Downloads for me at this link and it installs using Sketchucation Tools

It is not compatible with newer versions of SU though.

@TIG can we fix this? see below

That looks like PayPal complaining
