I am doing it mainly to make it easier to find parts and groups of parts. It’s inconvenient that Outliner lists everything alphabetically. I am able to change the axes now, but I saw you make the blue bounding box of the middle rail conform to the size of the rail. I’ve watched it a dozen times and I cannot repeat your moves. How are you making the blue bounding box fit the part ..read more

dmeeusen: It seems like components in groups is ok though? Components in groups aren’t any better. IF you’re going to use nesting the nest or parent object (it can be a component or group and you know which I wuold choose) should contain more than one component. There no reason to put a single component into a group or component. That just makes your work more difficult ..read more

Thank you. I have been fixing “Nesting” all day. I look at that as Components in components. That has been nothing but trouble for me. It seems like components in groups is ok though ..read more

Just to clarify You can include *.so files in your packaged SU extension. A user may not have the build tools needed to compile C/C++ source code. Hence, you should compile the code on your system. If your code has no purpose outside of SketchUp, there’s no point in hosting it on RubyGems, but nothing stops you from doing so. Assuming you want to call into your *.so file(s) from Ruby, you need to set up your C/C++ source code to allow that. See: Ruby 3.2 ‘Creating Extension Libraries for Ruby’ You can review all the C source code in Ruby, and there are many popular gems that contain ..read more

Hi, Sketchup 2024 keeps crashing my Mac during simple tasks. I’ve checked my computer and it meets all the requirements needed to support the new version. I even changed the graphics engine as suggested on other topics to see if that helped but had to revert to using the 2023 version to continue with my model. Anyone else experienced this and solved this issue? Thank you for help with this in advance ..read more

DaveR: SketchUp 2023 doesn’t support Sonoma so it’s possible there are graphics issues. I worked with Sonoma and SU 2023. To me it seemed fairly stable. The issues with snapping mainly seemed to show up with 2024, according to a number of recent posts: No snapping, rotating, scaling SketchUp This sounds similar to an issue mentioned here ..read more

Sorry, This is my drawing Final Cabinet 15.skp (960.6 KB ..read more

I am trying to get a little more organized as I lean. I have this cabinet divided into three groups, with the components for each section arranged as components within the group. This seemed logical, but I think I may have made it too complex. The thickness and size of some pieces are not working out. I suspect it’s because I don’t have the Axes set correctly. I was learning as I built this, but for the most part it’s working well. I know now to set my axis when I make a component. Is there a way to go back and set the axis for a whole group of components? And will it hurt for the group axis t ..read more

Same here. I have a brand new 2024 Mac running Sonoma, and brand new sketchup version 24.0.483 Same issue as Dangr. Suuuuuucks ..read more

Microsoft Edge should be fine, but these kinds of crashes tend to be very dependent on the specific environment. In order to give us more help in diagnosing you can do the following. Try using another browser such as Chrome or Firefox. Take a screenshot of any error messages and upload them here. When the model crashes, try using the sidebar menus (styles, scenes, etc) until you get a crash reporting dialog. While they are often due to software glitches, keep in mind that these kinds of crashes can happen when something is wrong with your hardware too. Bad memory or overheated processors may ..read more
