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 !

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?
@grizzler SketchUp installs Plugins to the following path...
C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2023\SketchUp
If you go there when SketchUp is closed with your File Explorer you can rename the Plugins folder to ###Plugins (or any name you wish that doesn't conflict with existing folders). This means when you launch SketchUp none of your Plugins will load.
SketchUp will then see there's no folder named Plugins and it will create one.
So you now have a vanilla environment. If SketchUp launches without issue it is fair to assume your start-up issues are related to to your ###Plugins folder.
Now close SketchUp and go to C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2023\SketchUp
and you will see a folder called Plugins and the troublesome ###Plugins folder.
You have the awkward choice of dragging dropping folders/files for extensions into Plugins folder in small batches to see when the startup issue occurs.
Or delete the recent Plugins folder and rename the ###Plugins back to Plugins then try hunt down the issue.
I'm experiencing similar issues where SketchUp won't launch and/or will get to Welcome Screen then fail. So I feel your pain.
@grizzler said in SU24 Crashing on startup.:
Any thoughts?
Rename your Plugins to say ####Plugins to prevent it loading. Start SketchUp and a new Plugins folder will be created.
If it starts then you can safely say there's a conflict at play.
Then comes the narrowing down process......

@Rich-O-Brien I just tried to drag 'n' drop a rb file - and I was greeted by "not enough privileges" pop-up. "welcome" indeed
RB file uploading was not in the allowed list. Its enabled now.
You're "welcome"
@Mike-Amos said in Reputation?:
I know I am a Philistine when it comes to this sort of thing but, what on earth is the 'reputation' thing about?
It's to prevent new accounts from posting content that's blatantly off topic. Mainly mods will review posts and stop you seeing stuff that is spam.
Members can also use it to upvote a particular post/reply as a way of saying something without saying anything.
The actual reputation value a person has is not really relevant unless your are inclined that way.
They way we use it is to place new account holders under certain restrictions until their peers see their contributions are useful and upvote them.
Some use it others don't. Some get offended by downvotes and others don't. Some love getting upvoted others don't.
It can be largely ignored or weaponised. I tend to upvote positive posts and replies in instances where I like the content but can't really add to it.
TLDR : Its an anti spam measure

sorry if they hurt your feelings
lol, thanks for letting me know my feelings are hurt. i didn't realise
@rv1974 said in [Plugin] PipeAlongPath:
P.S. Is the option to attach files in the "new" forum is gone ?
"no" try drag drop
@utiler If its straight up SketchUp stuff you're fine with that build. More than enough.
Really nice to hear from you too. Those late night IRE v AUS banter sessions were fun.
Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.
Check if your Style > Edge Settings under Edit tab is set to By material
@Medness Asking where to email license files is not the same as logging into a separate account and puchasing.
I can purchase licenses and ask to send them any email address for convenience. But the license files have to be associated to a user account.
In your instance you have multiple accounts so login to Medness1000 and you'll see JPP there
Merging is not possible.
@massimo I'm gonna try this in Rayscaper. It uses the newer PBR disney shader and I wonder how it handles glass when you apply real world properties to both geometry and the shader.
It has a classic glass shader along with the 'Fast' glass. But when I see how Thea produced such accurate results it would be interesting to see.
Thanks for sharing that. The glass reflections really were on point in your renders and now I can see why.
@massimo said in House with one wall:
What I mean is that we must learn to see and decide what we want to represent. How to do it comes later and is somehow easier.
That's great advice. You really see this in your renders especially when you see the reference photos.
The glass in the windows is it a solid volume or 2 planes? It is incredibly accurate in terms of how it is reflecting. There's more at play rather than a simple glass shader.
Thea really is a good engine.
If anybody wishes to come and visit I will buy you a beer
Great, can you book the flights. I'll be there for Friday
@Medness You have multiple account and purchased JPP on another account.
Login to that account and release seats
Hey Andrew!
That's a solid system for design work and rendering. Of course you could go higher and get amongst the weeds on the finer details.
But in terms of having a very serviceable device that has some grunt it ticks the boxes.
Personally I'd go 4080 on the GPU. If they have an option for 4080 make sure your PSU is 750w as the 650w won't do.
Otherwise its a good build that's more than adequate to do 3D work and rendering.
v4.4.1 - Plugin/Extension Manager bugfixes
Extension Manager Load Temp functionality has been removed as Extension's Manager Temp-load is 'blocked' by the sketchup API
