Using SketchUp to make a miniature house of an existing real one. Take a few photos of the house; [01-reality] Use SketchUp > Import > New Matched Photo; Export from SketchUp model a few 2D Graphic… Top View, Front/Back View, Left/Right View and an Align View to the roof; [03-sketchup] …

After these discussions, I now know that I will ask Gemini if it can introduce into the extension the possibility of being able to deselect certain edges already selected in nested groups (probably with Shift + Select). :slight_smile:

[image] mihai.s: deselect certain edges already selected in nested groups (probably with Shift + Select) 100% possible, no need to ask Gemini, you can just skip to the “do that” prompt and save a few tokens. Native UI-wise, there’s no way to access grouped/nested geometry, but it’s easy to d…

Thanks, I’ll be more explicit in what I’m asking Gemini for. :slight_smile:

Glad that it helped. :grinning_face: Now time to give Claude a chance, I bet you will not be disappointed (you can also create a “project” defining custom rules and uploading reference files, in order to get more consistent results between different sessions).

Yes, it worked, and now I have a much more useful and better extension. Thanks!

From this post about cable and wires . If you need to generate a lot of different cables, you can use an extension (or geometry nodes), export as OBJ and import them into SketchUp. [Procedural Cables for Blender | Geometry Nodes 4.2+]

From a post about ‘random panels’ Using geometry nodes in Blender, then exporting it as OBJ to SketchUp. [Random pattern of panels]

Thanks for the discussion today!
As I said, it can be helpful and it were. I managed to add with the help of Gemini AI new features and improve the extension ms SESO, the UI and the speed with which it works.
