Try that and report any errors if you encounter them
What seems at face value a rather basic operation is actually a lot more complex potentially.
Rather than trying to executing a mass extrusion process do a sample extrusion to see what kind of geometry is output.
A planar n-gon with 6 entities will result in 22 entities when extruded. Imagine if those 740 groups have ~100 entities each then you are asking Sketchup to create ~300k entities.
SketchUp then has to consider other things like its inbuilt tolerance, are there curves etc....
This is not a simple as a simple extrusion if the geometry you are extruding is not efficient.
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.
@Box said in [Plugin] SketchUcation Tools:
I do love that the new version doesn't ask you several questions for each update you install.
Yes, its less OK button bashing simulator. Especially for Bundle installs when you upgrade SketchUp. Just click install and go make a coffee.
Although Fredo's stuff still has a prompt to restart SketchUp.
@DanBradySU said in Fredo Tools no responding after update:
@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

In the example file it's not as a clean and pre-planned as your good example.
I think that it is doable but not on the file shared. Where the tube is intersecting the flat top face is a bit of a mess. The tube geometry has a few probably unintentional edges.
You can do this but you need to pre-plan the profiles to get the nice results Dave does in his sleep.
@Dave-R You plan to print that? Its a beautiful model.
Soon you'll be able to open a digital museum of historical devices

sorry if they hurt your feelings
lol, thanks for letting me know my feelings are hurt. i didn't realise
Turn off Scene Transitions
@Rich-O-Brien Get off my lawn!
The right side bar's text is kind of small for my aging eyes. Can you make the font bigger?
We'll be tweaking as we go so expect improvements. As you can imagine migrating was a big challenge. Keeping historical stuff was important.
So poke around for a bit before piling on the requests
@Dave-R I just watched Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny and this reminds me of the Archimedes device.
@Tpdart Hi,
Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.
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...

@gullfo Rich, when can we start filling up the suggestion box? I only have two things.
Be gentle Gus. Its been a huge undertaking to get the old content into this newer system.
I'd love if users just poked around for a few days to see how it works and feels.
But if you see or experience a genuine system error or unusable feature let us know.
You can put them here as I subbed to this thread
The engineering in the spindle arm is something else. Its so refreshing to see the inners working compared to modern devices.
This is so plug and play. You would struggle to disassemble and fix a modern micrometer and then recalibrate it yourself.
I could disassemble a modern micrometer but probably couldn't reassemble it. 
@Nicole_M_W If click the toolbar icon fails to display the dialog then open the ruby console and click the icon and see it there are errors.
But since we don't know what version of SketchUp or Clothworks you are running its hard to say more really.
The also an extension by Dan Rathbun that resets dialog positions if they are off screen. Its call Dialog Cascader. Search for cascade and you'll find it in our Sketchucation Tools in SketchUp
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.
