Using the Follow Me tool to create crown moulding above a cabinet, but I keep getting the “not a valid path” notice. The moulding only follows two lines, not the three that are selected. I’ve verified that all surfaces and lines are closed and coplanar. What’s my issue? ;(

Hello
I have run an SCCM report on all of our workstations to determine who has Sketchup installed on them. I would like to know from these computers if there is anyway I can tell what key they used to install it. Meaning is this information contained in the computers registry or hard drive that I could query and determine.
Thanks for the help

So I am finishing an emergency map, and I have multiple files of the same map. Each file though has different emergency routes for the same facility layout. I am having a problem now keeping the same view of each map. I want each map to have the same height, tilt, roll, and focal length so that when I give the map to my client there will not be a difference with the view. The only difference they will see is the different paths of egress. I have been able to input the height that I want, but have been unsuccessful in tilt and focal length. Is there anyway to manually input exact views in separate files? Is there a better way of accomplishing having the same view while in the same file for multiple maps by making multiple views within one file?
I hope that last question was not confusing. I look forward to any help that can be offered. Also I do have SketchUp Pro.

I am trying to apply two materials to the same entity (for example: I am applying a color to the facade of a house I modeled, and I would like to apply a texture on top of that to give the effect of stucco)
Is this possible? I have been using photoshop to apply a texture to a color and then import that as a custom material for sketchup.
Thanks for the help in advance…

Hi. I’m using SketchUp 2016 Make on my home computer which is running Windows 7 Pro. The font that came with this is a very basic type of font. I can’t afford to upgrade to the Pro version.
My question is this: Is there anyway to change the font type to say something like “Arial”? Or am I just going to have to use the font provided?

Still pretty much a beginner with Sketchup. So, hopefully I’m missing something obvious. But, all the tutorials on follow-me are pretty simple. In the end I’d like to have the fillet the full length of the line. But, just getting it to butt up to the curve is proving challenging enough.
Here’s a screen recording of what I’m trying to do and the issue I’m having. Any suggestions?

Today I installed a bunch of plugins that will help me with my workflow. However I soon descovered some of them do not have a toolbar/button developed for them. I’d prefer them to be on a toolbar rather than under the Extensions menu at the top.
Is it possible to create my own buttons for the extensions I’ve installed? I googled for this solution extensively today but never got a concrete answer.
(I’m currently using SketchUp Pro 2018. I’ve also tried the ToolBar Editor plugin but it required me inputting the Ruby code myself)

I’m looking at replacing my aging desktop with a laptop and would like to limit my choice to what’s available thru Costco.com - for their outstanding return/warranty policies. Seems gaming laptops often come with graphics cards that are well-suited to SU renderings but I’ve really got no idea what would be irrelevant features or wasteful expense for a complete non-gamer like myself. If this is a reasonable track to be on, anyone care to scan through the current 17 laptop offerings and help me spot a good choice/value?
Graphics cards offered are 4-8GB GTX 1050/60/70/80; CPUs are fitted with 8 - 32GB RAM; CPUs are mostly i7 with one or two i5s. I’m not looking to cheap out, but don’t want to overspend for features that are gaming-specific. See https://www.costco.com/laptops.html?computer-type=gaming-laptop&refine=ads_f34501_ntk_cs%3A%22Gaming%2BLaptop%22|

i have been racking my brain and really using SketchUp to proof my various logic paths in engineering a trim detail for a high profile commercial construction project. Ive hit a wall (pun).
wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Imagine a wall framed on a large radius. Now imagine the wall at the ceiling is at a larger radius than that of the base. The wall leans out toward you at the top. Now punch a hole in the wall that when elevated looks like a rectangle with 10" radius on the 4 corners. I am trimming this opening with a double bull nose profile (5-1/2" X 3-1/2").
I thought i had it licked with a continuous “follow me” that went all the way around. until i looked closer and realized that either at the ceiling or at the base the profile wasn’t laying flat on the wall. it is picking up some the angle that should only occur at the vertical sides.
A model is worth a thousand words so please check it out.

I’ve read hundreds and hundreds of geo-location posts. No one has addressed when you use the" set manual location" option, where is it at in the drawing?? There is no representation of where the Geo locate actually exists in the drawing. I can get it in the neighborhood, I can export it and it’s close, but I need to know where I’m actually geo-locating in the drawing, like select a point and that is the point that you geolocate.

Is there a way to bend a construction beam , grouped or not, having a small calculated radius?
I can draw a curved beam, what looks like having a force, having the top side a length longer then the middle length and the lower side shorter, but that is way to much work.
Is there a way or plugin that can do that?

Hello everyone I am having trouble in producing a sketchup model same as this picture attached. As you can see it is a type of chandelier with a wavy form and somewhat random shape. The surface of the Model is somewhat ribbed and transparent. Is there a plugin that can do this? or is there an easy way in modeling this which i dont know. Im a beginner in sketchup and only know how to use some tools. I have tried using pathcopy but the model is too linear while if i use a potrude plugin it doesnt have ribs on the surface.
Disclaimer: I dont own this image nor did I make it I just found it on google and am using it as reference to the same type of chandelier that I want to make.
