Diagnosed with prostate cancer 1 week ago (prob wont die of it, but with it fortunately)
Really sorry to hear about your recent health issues. Wish you the best in your fight and a full recovery too.
Leads, asbestos and now PFAs. Will science/engineering ever get to a point where we stop treating ourselves as test dummies?
Use the cardinal point to create the tapered cylinder...
Use Quadface Tools to add some loops...
Use Smoove to bend
Or TrueBend for precision

To me it looks like the dimensions of the texture for the material are not the same as the image.
I've encountered this when I create a material using a non-uniform texture dimension. Then I decide to switch the image texture for another non-uniform image.
You end up with a material that has its width and height skewed and resetting doesn't consider the image dimensions.
Did you try right clicking Texture > Reset
I believe the issues I'm seeing are extension related.
Try having the ruby console open while your painting to see if there's a clue.

but where do I get the software from? I can't find a download link anywhere.

Where can I get the licence key (or is there another way of activating)?
When you login at sketchup.com there's a dashboard area where all your entitlements are. So you can download .exe, manage devices and more....

How can I control that I get an English language version then?

Then scroll all the way to the bottom of the sketchup.com site and click the Do Not Sell My Info and submit the form so your data remains your commodity.

Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !

The environment maps included play a big role to get a suitable appearance...
The roughness doesn't quite match the expected result with certain HDRs
Definitely a nice addition to have in the viewport. SKP file sizes obviously take a hit because of the additional maps packed into the file.
Now that I've thought more you can actually also buy from within SketchUp. If you open the license dialog for any extension that requires a license there a purchase button there.
@Box Thanks for sharing that. Seriously talented stuff.
No, TrueBend will generate the internal loops it needs to do the bending. So that's probably the most efficient method.
I only used QFT to help me cut loops so Smoove would work.
@HornOxx we have yet to complete the menu for this new forum.
But if you visit our homepage and hover the PluginStore menu you can access Buy Extensions.
I'll add it to these forums next week. It's Paddys Weekend here so I'm enjoying the extended weekend.
At quantum level I'd say trying to understand it is a whole new branch of science.
Did you see Google Quantum Chip? https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantum-chip/
Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 1025) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe.
Its kinda frightening that we have the ability to play in a realm we can't yet fully explain.

It may make the Liam of today cringe. But that younger Liam could still do something a very small percentage of people can.
I don't think there's a 'bad' render. But there are renders where the user didn't experiment enough or settled on a result. They are both serviceable images if the point was 'a day time interior.'
I think that as you rank up in rendering more and more factors need considering. That leads to more knowledge. Some plateau at a level and other keep pushing. Every push places you into a smaller and smaller bracket.
Rendering is science in my opinion.
If you import the exported dwg back into SketchUp do you see double lines?
If NO it could be the importer in your app that's the cause. If YES, then there maybe something in the source SKP file.
Once you include a secondary app into the mix the likely cause would be harder to detect. Can you reproduce on just a small sample of geometry?
I've 3 under 16. They see me do stuff all the time in 3D and understand the fundamentals.
Kids have a ton of options to get into 3D. Roblox, a gaming sandbox, allows them to delve into coding, modelling and animation.
My eldest lad does tech drawing and engineering in school and it's Autodesk products that are pushed. But he did do the Donut Tutorial in Blender and nailed it.
There's also apps like Godot that are great to get kids into coding, game creations and 3D.
I think if SketchUp was part of the school curriculum here then maybe there would be more uptake. But Open Source software is easiest point of entry for kids interested.
It comes down to parents and teachers helping them discover 3D. As soon as it becomes homework you've put a red flag up!
Yummy. Great feature to add.
