      The wires...

      Pretty basic stuff tbh. It was more the materials doing the heavy lifting and a nice studio HDR

    • RE: Select groups/components with selected materials

      Vibe-coding as you iterate through ideas. It's interesting little tool. Nice job to you both πŸ˜‹

      If you use a more conventional extension setup the Plugins folder root .rb file would have something like this...

      require 'sketchup.rb'
      require 'extensions.rb'
      
      module JujuSKP
        module JujuSKP_SelectByMaterial
      
          unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
            ex = SketchupExtension.new('Select By Material', 'JujuSKP_SelectByMaterial/main.rb')
            ex.description = 'Your description'
            ex.version     = '1.0'
            ex.copyright   = 'JujuSKP Β© 2025'
            ex.creator     = 'JujuSKP'
            Sketchup.register_extension(ex, true)
            file_loaded(__FILE__)
          end
      
        end # module JujuSKP
      end # module JujuSKP_SelectByMaterial
      

      Poke around your own plugins folder too see how others a packing extensions.

    • RE: [Plugin] MaterialFinder6

      Why searching isn't native I don't know. But this is a huge timesaver.

      I don't even need to have them as libraries in SketchUp to search them now. I can just pull them in using this.

      My wishlist item would be thumbnails but its not a dealbreaker. Great tool as is. So fast too!

      Sounds like an overly strict policy. I'd ask the IT person to relax their policy.

    • RE: House Practice

      It's a real shame TwiLight isn't still developed. It is such a robust rendering engine.

      Nice render. Maybe some nice texturing or bump on the fascia/soffit would help break up the uniform appearance.

    • RE: Payment Rejected

      The problem you are encountering is with the payment processors. That could be related to any number of issues outside of our control.

      Both PayPal and Stripe are well known and secure methods to accept payments online.

      PayPal are declining your card did you contact them?

    • RE: Another Machinist's Model of a Steam Engine.

      I love seeing raw engineering. These days they spend more time compressing it into smaller spaces and then concealing it.

      These older designs were purer and showcased the use.

      Great modelling too.

    • RE: Fold objects together or snap faces?

      Did you try SketchUp's native Snap points?

      Link Preview Image
      Snaps

      A Snap is a custom point you can add to a group or component. Once added, a Snap allows you to both position and orient objects at the same time. Snaps can help you create models with components that are easy to place, layout, or assemble.The Anatomy of a SnapSnaps appear as a disk. The disk contains visual cues that help explain how the snap will work.

    • RE: Struggling to fit a texture to individual faces

      Try Skimp to import as its importers are better than the native I find.

      Or Sam's Universal Importer: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=universal_importer

      A forum user has no right to express his personal opinion? you are pathetic. The design is awful, if you don't see it on your radar its a big problem for your professional growth

      Editing your post 7 times to eventually add an insult is not helping have a constructive discussion.

      Just so you are aware this new forum software keeps a revision history for posts.

      Not sure how many people have flagged your comments so far but I am asking you kindly to stop engaging.
