      Is there some place where I can learn more about the visibility tool

      Not really. Just experiment. Most are default SketchUp features reimagined to be used in an animation scenario. Hover for tooltips.

      this will probably not happen for a couple of days

      But what you learn is permanent. That is why I advocate for people to stay the course and troubleshoot themselves.

      Plus you get a dopamine hit every time you figure stuff out. Getting spoon fed answers has the opposite effect.

      The component axis sets the insertion point location. Try setting the brick component axis to be the center so all rotation originates from that location.

      That would mean using the Left/Right offset value to get what you need.

    • RE: Freddo ROUND CORNER sketchup 2025 not loading + asking for ExtensionStore v3.1 or above

      Please install Sketchucation Tools: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools

      It controls licensing and is required.

      I did indeed. I will break that too. Just like I break spaghetti before I cook it. 🍝

      it was developed over the last few months based on my everyday tasks.

      The perfect reason to develop a tool.

      @zain01 said in FREDOSCALE license not recognised:

      Thanks Rich I wasn't aware you can allocate the seats yourself. Duh

      You can have 3 seats at anytime active. But you need to release seats to go to a fourth device.

      You have multiple ways to release:

    • RE: Help with ProfileBuilder4 Wallblocks

      ProfileBuilder can build an Assembly from a selection.

      Model parts needs to be accurate though. If things have skewed axis location you'll end up with a mess.

    • RE: shortcuts not retained in 2026 when Sketchup restarts

      CTRL+C and V works for me even though menu shortcut shows INS

      I'd say 2026.1 or 2 will address the issues.

      If you check the shortcuts you'll see 2 entries

    • RE: Scene animation with Animator

      @ntxdave said in Scene animation with Animator:

      some of the issues I am having are more related to some things I am doing in native SketchUp

      That maybe true. You just need to persevere. I would hold the belief you need a good foundation on using SketchUp to really getting the most from Animator.

      If you knowledge level in SketchUp is low that is easy fix. Model, model and model.
