Does anyone have a copy of the former PPG glass material? I found the metal online but not the glass material skp, I have it on my other computer 200 miles away, but not on my laptop. The company that took over PPG Glass only offers one model for each style, not the multitude that is available with the original file. I checked the 3D warehouse PPG is listed but no models are present.

I really like Maj Stair for making simple straight stairs, however after watching a few videos illustrating how to make something like an L-shaped stair, I have had no success. Is there someone here that uses this plugin and can help me out?

I tried the Window Model info Statistics, purge all unused., We will see Thanks!

I have one particular model that takes way longer to save than most of the others, and some of the others are far more complex.
Is there a way (plugin) to identify what the issue is, and then allow me to correct it?

Today I tried to make some railings, when I worked on the left side of my model, the perpendicular offset worked great, but on the right side, I would get an error by trying a negative offset. When I watched a video about the plugin the offset correctly worked on both sides of the stairs. I managed to make it work by putting a 2" guide to the left from the right side of the stairs. Kind of a hassle though.

I use two plugins for making stairs, S.D. (Sam) mitch stair maker and stair concrete. For the most part, they do what I need. My problem with Sam's stair maker is that if you are making a "U" or "L" stair, the landing has to be in the middle of the stair count. For example, if you have a 16 tread stair at a 7" rise, and try to put the landing anywhere but 8 steps, the rise changes. Of course, I can modify the stairs to work, but it takes a lot of time. I can build stairs totally manually, but again there is the time factor.
The most current plugins do way more than I need, like GK Ware and Maj Stair. Mainly my stairs are simple commercial types with simple steps and rectangular steel stringers.
A plug-in that would do those would be handy.

Just tossing this out there to see what happens, have a great Sunday!

Is there a plugin for identifying a texture or material, that can be used in the main window, instead of the eyedropper tool in the materials tray? Something similar to the material replacer dialog, but just for ID purposes.

As it has always been, area is only shown in Entity Info if you have a face or faces selected.

Please update your profile. It shows you are still using SketchUp 2013.

Profile updated and I found the area, thanks Dave, Merry Christmas!

Not exactly new to SketchUp, I have been using it since 2008 or so, however, I am new to SU2021 Pro, the latest version I had was 2017 before upgrading. I found out that the layers are now called Tags but in the entity info "area" is missing. Is this gone or just hiding?

I've used this n the past because you can download RAW file that a 32bit. Even to default PNG can give good results depending on how distant you are....
