Sketchup itself isn't a rendering program, so you won't get those results within the program.

I don't expect to see that look in SU, but I have vray to render. I guess if I have to use vray material editor I can do that if I can't import it thru SU, but I don't know where to put each image, like under alpha or whatever. Is there a thread for importing with VR4SU? Thx

I can't seem to find this answered, but can't imagine it hasn't been said 1,000 times. Can anyone point me to a thread showing how to import these .jpg (or sometimes .png, .bmp, etc.) files to have an end result like the large example? I can only get these results using .vismat with vray, but there are so many great textures I can't use because I can't find the instructions on how to import all of these separate files in the materials editor. Thanks in advance

TT's SolidInspector appears under the Tools menu: if its Extension is enabled.
There is no toolbar.
Reread its usage instructions...

I knew I was missing something stupid. Just reread the last few posts, and went to the Tools menu. DUUUUHHHHHHH!! Completely missed that. Had no Idea you had to turn it on! Thanks for all the help and patience.

As TIG mentions, there is no toolbar.

Return should zoom to error, Tab should jump to next error - does that not happen for you? Can you post screenshot of the tool in action? When you have activated it and it displays the rings that indicate errors?

This is what I'm trying to explain. I select a grouped box and hit tab or enter, but nothing happens(hitting enter outside the group puts me into the group), and there is no option on right click. There are no circles or colored lines like what I see in other posts. There's no evidence that the plugin is installed other than the entry in the extension window. To uninstall, do I just take the .rb files out? How can I try reinstalling? Thx for the help

but I cannot get any functions of this to work.

Can you describe the problem? What doesn't work? Do you get error messages? (Open the Ruby Console before you try to use it.)
Or are the menu items missing?

I'm sending msgs faster than they can get approved and posted, so sorry if I'm answering your last q instead of the current one. I see no toolbar for the function, as well as having no effect on pressing tab or enter. I've changed permissions numerous times, but some wont change, either way, all the other plugins that didn't work are fine now after the first time changing permissions, so I think I'm doing that right (even though I forgot to redo this step after installing new plugins. I used the ruby installer when the zip method didn't work, that's how it showed up in extensions- I did hole punch the same way, and at the same time, but that shows up fine on right click. My SU takes about 10 min to load each time I restart, so I just had an epiphany to open a new file instead of the big one lol. I doubt the ruby console can help bc there's nothing to click and look for a reaction. Other than the entry in the extension window, you'd think I don't have the plugin.
my SI is 1.20.
my TT lib is 2.9.4

I've looked everywhere for this plugin, but dl fails on sketchucation, and on RLD they say it was taken down at the author's request. Where can I find this please?

Or with the link directly before your question... provided by the author himself

Appreciate the reply, but as my question clearly stated, it kept failing from sketchucation, which was where the link provided pointed to. I kept retrying the to dl thru firefox's dl manager, but upon retrying from SU, it went thru. I now cannot figure out how to use it, as per my pending post, but pls don't think I'm a complete idiot. I've figured out how to install .rb's .rbz's and .zip's, so I'm getting there, and I've read all through this forum before asking. Just can't see why it's showing installed, but no effect.

Saw the reply as I went to post again. I had changed the permissions already, but not again after adding new stuff. Stupid mistake. I've had a problem come back after trying to 3d print, but had no idea what the issue was. Wish I had thought to check here weeks ago! Hats off to Thom, who seemingly always has a hat on.

After changing permissions and restarting, I'm still stuck. FYI, I've installed artisan tools, sculpt tools, fredo's sculpt and library. Why can't I get this?

I have this plugin, and it shows in my exxtensions list in preferences (it is checked active), but I cannot get any functions of this to work. TT_Lib2 is also installed and checked. What may be the cause of this? How do I get the tool to work? I've tried right-clicking, tab, enter, anything I've read ppl doing in this thread. Pls help. I'm on 2013 pro using win7 thx
