@TIG Hi, thank you after i checked turns out the problem is that i havent updated my libfredo. Thank you so muchhh
You should install Sketchucation Tools too since its required for licensing and it makes install extension much easier
Still not getting my head around artificial lights
Before you tackle interior lighting it would be worth exploring why your scenes are struggling to light interior spaces.
It could be a glass setting or your HDR is not casting enough light.
Add a Sun light along with the HDR and make it shoot light in the window. Adjust its strength and radius to get it to your liking.
That's what I would do before even adding any assets into the scene. Get the interior space lit how you want.
Please install Sketchucation Tools: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools
Restart SketchUp after installation
Then license Curviloft per the licensing guide: https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdf
You can retrieve your license at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php
Curviloft require Libfredo v14.5: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
Try that and report any errors if you encounter them
@Dave-R Are you open sourcing the print files for others or is it a commercial product for the living aids sector?
I knew someone who invented a sock removal aid that ended up licensed to some large US based living aid supplier. It was initially an aid for wetsuit removal that caught the eye of an investor who saw a use in living aids.
Those clips that receive the belt must be pretty unique in the space.
Those are beautiful. Always sad to see reliable older infrastructure consigned to history.
Especially after decades service. I understand the need to modernise but I find the design choices for the replacement tech is dull and lacks character.
I love to see engineering and mechanics.

@Rich-O-Brien - thanks for the tips, sorry for the late reply, been offline. I've got no errors on Ruby, I press 'purge' from the drop down but nothing happens, still no pop-up when pressing Fredo tools and it doesn't appear to be opening off screen - other tools pop-up fine. I'm lost?!
Could your dialog be off screen? @Dan-Rathbun has an extension that sorts this issue

You can use Sketchucation Tools to easily install it

Did you try SPGears?

Sorry that went over my head, happens a lot
I meant that these test scenes with the minimal amount of scope allows you to get creative.
Emission shaders, or non-standard HDRs to just go wild. I tend to use my down time to explore weird use cases for noise patterns and colours. Happy accidents.

@L-i-am said in A Bench and a Stool:
I wonder if Trimble will add function to this aspect of SU over time?
Considering they upsell Vray as part of their offering I doubt we'll see a rendering engine inside SketchUp.
Would like to see this Look Dev mode extended though. Soft shadows, screen space reflections etc
Fracture by @TIG
A Pro >= v8 Plugin to "Fracture" a Selected Solid Group/Component. Dialog to set number of 'Iterations' and the 'Size %', and a final 'Explode' option... Now...

Was trying to make sense of how Fracture was fracturing and ended up with this. Could do with more work but it was a concept more than anything else. Gott...

@Box said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:
Then Dave or Rich will split the relevant post out of this one and into the new one.
let me know by tagging me in that new thread and I'll move this sidebar.
loving these shares!
It has Enscape and Vray integration so there's an easy path to using their materials. Not sure if Twin Motion is supported.
But, to answer your question....yes you can manually add additional maps yourself in your app of choice.
In that instance downloading directly from their site at the needed resolution is your friend.
I love their Tile materials, Really well done.
The result is great! Shot selection I really liked. The building remained the hero element in every angle so noticing the imported 3D buildings was largely avoided.
You must be delighted with the end result!
Thomas was is aware of the incompatibility with 2025.
I love your output. It’s pure thought to creation.
Give it a name aka Plugin Identifier in this instance ViewportBuster
Nice render. Building is certainly unique. There's serious security going on!
