    • Make layer visible or invisible in all scenes

      I had an extension called, "turn on tag in all scenes" enabled in sketchup.

      It would ask me if I wanted to have a tag to be visible or invisible in all scenes. It was not working properly so I deleted it. But now I cannot find the extension. It is great. It allows you to make a layer visible or invisible in all of your scenes.

      I know about the extension "auto invisible layer" it allows you to create a new layer and it doesn't turn on in all of your existing layers.

      Have you heard of this extension? Where I can find it again?

      I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Please complete your forum profile." I added more info.

    • RE: DIAMETER/RADIUS DIMENSIONS in LAYOUT

      @devbac2019 said:

      PLEASE UPGRADE TO STANDARD DIMENSION AS AUTOCAD DIMENSION, UPGRADE OSNAP MORE ACCURATED ON OBJECT LINE 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎

      I would like to use an AutoCAD like radius dimension in sketchup Layout. Are you suggesting there is a plug in or extension to help Layout create radius dimensions?

      Thanks,

      Ron

    • Fredo jointpushpull

      I am getting a strange result from Fredo jointpushpull. I need the "J" button to extrude multiple faces to a certain distance, then re-extrude same face, create a perimeter division line on the object but to not create interior faces. See attached images. Any help?

      thanks,

      Ron

    • RE: Graphic parts list for modern house

      components to a grid does work, but this really isn't exactly what I need. thanks though!

      Maybe a list version would work. Any suggestions for something that will list all components and give amounts of each component in model?

      Thanks,

    • Graphic parts list for modern house

      I have created a model of my modern small house using components. (floor truss, roof truss, plywood decking, steel connectors, 4 x 4 posts, 6'8" x 12' 0" sliding door units, etc.) I would like to create a graphic list of all of the components showing sizes, and quantities.

      I have generated a report using sketchup Pro 2014. Works well. In excel there may be a way to add components to a sum, but it seems overly cumbersome. I'm sure a program like pluspec might be able to achieve this but I would like to create this list using Sketchup 2014.

      Any suggestions?

      Thanks,

      Ron

    • Layout hybrid selection? How to do it in LO 13?

      Hi, I can't seem to find the button to make a window in my layout page into a hybrid view. It seems in the past I would just right click? Also, if I select export to dwg, I do not get anything.

      Thanks,

    • Solidsolver

      downloaded solidsolver by TIG

      Where do I place the file? I do not have a plugins folder with 2013 or do I? Where would it be? This extension is not available through extensions warehouse.

    • XMLDRSpawner.bin

      This program is starting when I try to open sketchup 2013 mac. Sketchup will not open. I have downloaded and installed the maintenance release 2. Previously, I was able to hold down the command key and sketchup would open. Now it will not. Any suggestions? I have checked my Library/preferences/ No files as listed in help in this folder to delete..

      thanks,

    • Need white background hidden line for layout

      Hi, I am creating a plan view of my project using the face style hidden line. I am getting a colored background in the view. I would like to have black lines + white background. I think it has to do with styles, but can't figure it out.

      Thanks for your help!

    • Calculate floor area in multi level building in groups

      I am working on a large scale mixed use project with multiple parcels with multiple bldgs w multi floors. I am looking for a way to use the area calculate right click tool to select a nested grouped object (a building of multiple floors) and get the floor area. I tried placing a named material on the top surface of each extruded box (floors of the grouped model) and I was not able to get a calculation of the material in the group. If I select each surface with the material I am able to get the area but not within a nested group.

      Thanks!

    • Layout - replace sketchup file with another sketchup file

      I have an existing layout file connected to a sketchup file that is outdated. I would like to attach my most recent sketchup model to this layout file. In document setup there are these options: update - relink - unlink - edit - goto - purge. I have tried unlink and the linked file remains in the page views. I have selected goto and it just open the selected sketchup file in sketchup. I have selected edit and it again opens the sketchup file. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, I just haven't been able to find it.

      thanks,

      Ron

    • RE: Sectioncutface

      Thanks everybody for your input and also thanks for helping me, a real "newbee" with Layout and SU.

      TIG, thanks for making the sectioncutface plugin and allowing us to download it for free.

      I am a bit of a cry baby sometimes, especially when a process doesn't work immediately. So, sorry about that. I believe in SU + LO and Google. I think this platform will get stronger and stronger.

      Ron

      Gaieus, your sections are beautiful.

    • RE: Sectioncutface

      Chris, thanks for your help and comments. Sectioncutface is probably a good plugin, but I personally do not have the time to wait for the process to complete. Once TIG has updated it, maybe I will try it again.

      Thanks,

      R
