The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)You probably missed this, too. If you want to place the same radius on other corners, double click near them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)I know I should know this (being a top sketchukator and all---
![]() as I go between scenes with sections how can I toggle between them and keep the section plane window off so I dont have to manually turn them off each time? I have always found the scene menu in SU very confusing and conveluted and I can't seem to get this to work as I want. Help please? Thanks. David_H If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)David, you can access them in the Outliner. Right click on the desired section cut in Outliner and activate it or deactivate as needed.

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Dave. . thanks for the response and please excuse the follow up. . . I guess I'm not following, or i didn't make my question clear and I don't use outliiner that much. . .is there a way to save the scene updates so that the windows just stay off? I don't see how Outline does that for me.
Thx, D If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Never mind. .. I think I got it. I just update after the outliner thing. Correct?
Thx, D If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Oh. Sorry. I didn't get that part. The display of section planes is a style setting thing so edit the style to turn them off, update the style and update the scenes.
Actually, if you edit the style and then update the scene, you should get a warning that tells you the style has been edited and asking if you want to update the style or create a new one. Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Thank you! it's really quite amazing how much of the basic stuff you forget when you don't dealwith it that often.
D If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Yes it is amazing indeed.
And it shows how deep SketchUp can be. Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)no, Curic works with multiple independent objects (groups, components) and\or its faces instantly.
Does Tig's one extrude to a curved object? Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)
Yes. Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Very good, but once again ability to process multiple objects regardless the context makes night and day difference.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)My EE... tool extends selected edges and by connection their faces to any objects in the way of the vector-path, or a picked point on that path - whichever is appropriate. It doesn't process the contents of selected groups etc, so you must edit them and select the geometry to process. The objects to which it extrudes must include some faces [even if nested inside groups etc] - so curved surfaces are accommodated... TIG
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)My biggest Doh!
Struggling with microfaces on a component.. Brain : this is a component! Me : I know Brain : no, this is a component, get it? Me : I know! Will you shuv up? Brain : idiot. Copy it, enlarge it 500% over there, and then work on it, they won't be microfaces anymore and life will be easy. Pillock. Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Why on earth is Curic Extend in this thread!
If you want to post it put it in a thread of its own in the Plugins SubForum. Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Fellow Wizards:
so in previous versions of SU there was a blue icon with a query (?) symbol or something that would give you all the statistics of a model and the ability to fix and purge throughout. What happened to that too in V 18? Entity Info doesn't quite do it for me. thx, D If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)
I suspect you mean the Query tool which creates something that looks like this: That is part of the Utilities Tools available from the Extension Warehouse. Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Thanks Dave. No. . it was a statistics tool of some kind. I didn't use it much but I need it today to find out where some problems are and that it can fix them.
It had a menu that would come up that would show all the entities and an option to fix problems etc. again, Thanks. D EDIT: This just in: I think I found it! thx again. Last edited by david_h on Mon Mar 25, 2019 4:35 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)CleanUp3? TIG's Purge All?
Do you still have the older version of SketchUp installed so you could check to see what it is called? Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)It was in the Window Menu. I just did't know to look for it there cuz it had it's own toolbar icon but it doesn't now. So. . . . If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)A cool one never too late!
![]() - Draw a box - Draw a Line Guide in whatever direction wished - Release the mouse and type any integer fraction N/D in the VCB with your 2 hands! ![]() 7/3 for example... (any time you want till the good position of the Guide line wished! ![]() I don't know why that works not with N*D or N+D or N-D ![]()
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)With the same tool : how to draw an only one Guide Point in the Space without plugin!
![]() Draw with the Tape tool any one Guide point on an Edge (not on an hot point) (on a middle edge you can't draw a guide point) Move this Guide Point in the space Et voilà ![]()
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)
It works with N/D as a side effect of supporting fractional inches. Though it's a common request, the measurement box doesn't support arithmetic and doesn't really understand division other than integer ratios.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Don't make this mistake.
I unfolded a cilinder/ring, and measured its area (cm²) with the tekst tool, with hidden lines turned off in view. (bottom strip of fig 1) The strip at the top drawn with the rectangle tool shows the correct area. although the face, when selected looks undivided, the square cm² turn out to be only for a part of the ring.(fig 2) I notest, that drawn with the rectangle tool, entity-info identify's the rectangle as a face, and the unfolded rectangle as a surface. fig 1 fig 2 "History is written by the winners"
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)So I have a question. . .and this is coming from a "Top Sketchucator"
(try and contain your laughter at least till I pose the question ![]() i am trying to import a collection of materials from a previous version of SU and I can't get those to stay put in my materials pallet. Each time I open us SU I have to reload them. What am I doing wrong? Needless to say, I don't do this a lot. ![]() If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)David, what operating system? What SketchUp version?
Is this a collection of materials in a folder? Etaoin Shrdlu

Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)From the 'palette' phrasing I guess you are on a MAC ?
No matter, when you import a collection into a model those collection-materials are available in that model. When you open a new model [or an older one] those collection-materials are not there - why would they be ? If you want the material-collection to be available in all new models, then open an empty new model from your template, add the collection-materials, then save the model as a template - overwriting your usual template, OR making a new template, and setting that as your default-template. Now all new models will have those collection-materials associated with it ? You should also be able to associate the collection with existing models ? TIG
Re: The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)Thank you my Brethren.
I am on 2019, Win 10. To TIG's point, I think i need to load these into the template. thx, D If I make it look easy. . .then it probably is.
