From a post about ‘centerline of a pipe’
Creating centerline of a pipe in SketchUp using an extension
Starting from a post about Flowify
Preparatory steps:
- Style
- Model positioning and settings
- Suitable geometry (lowpoly)
For a 5 cm object, 40 edges instead of 160 - same look.
- Suitable target surface
- Suitable groups in Flowify
- Flowify Blender
Thank you
Starting from Eric’s idea - Creating a New Wave Inspired Topo-graphic. Thanks @eric-s!
Creating a map of Romania from waves in SketchUp
This is awesome @mihai.s . Love that you found a way to make the process yours by using different extensions to accomplish the same result. Thanks for sharing!
ms Dims-O extension
- Displays real-time Bounding Box dimensions for selected objects.
- Warning for modified object scale.
SketchUp 2023-2026, with Overlay.
Inspired by Qol Hud-Dimensions (Blender).
Extension in testing and not yet published. - ms Dims-O EWH link -
But yours looks much nicer… 
You’re very kind, dezmo! Thank you!
I need to look more often through the extensions published in EWH and SketchUcation. But I think it’s better that I created my extension the way I wanted. 
Now that you’ve told me what you were referring to (I wouldn’t have guessed at all), merci beaucoup, Pierre!
I thought you might be referring to how Romanians welcome guests/visitors.
Ah… and I couldn’t bring a Portokalopita on the plane to Vegas, which I make and it turns out at least as good as the one in Greece.

There seems to be two kinds of Romanian. The ones who feed you. And the ones who feed on you(r blood at night)
Pierre, for the second kind… keep in mind that:
"Vlad the Impaler’s fortress at Poenari is the only one that has a real connection with the ruler Vlad the Impaler. It is the only fortress built by him in Wallachia. It inspired in literature, in fiction, in general, Bram Stocker, who wrote the novel that made Vlad the Impaler famous, although this is a fictional novel and must be taken as such. So did Jules Verne, in the novel “The Castle in the Carpathians”. curator Marius Păduraru

You can visit Bran Fortress and enjoy the views, food and people (the first kind).

For people who end up with files that they can no longer open because they are already over 500 MB, and the model inside them would probably not have to exceed 15-30 MB, you can consider reducing the number of segments in Arc (3-4 instead of the default 12) and Circle (6-12 instead of 24), especially for objects where you have a bevel, and it is only 0.5-2 cm, 12 segments are pointless, not even when rendering.
13809 entities (left) vs. 2052 entities (right)
546 entities (left) vs. 234 entities (right)
also don’t model the inside of a closed pot / jar.
it doubles the amount of geometry for pretty much added value.
ms Dims-O (v1.0.0) - Extension Warehouse link
provides an elegant, real-time HUD (Head-Up Display) for SketchUp 2023+. Using the new Overlay API, it instantly displays the X, Y, and Z dimensions of your selection.
Key Features:
- Automatic Detection: Shows dimensions for Geometry, Groups or Components;
- Scale Warning: The “Dimensions:” label turns RED if the selected object has been scaled, warning you that reported dimensions might not match the internal geometry;
- Customizable: Change text size, label text, and position (4 corners) via the Settings menu;
- Non-Intrusive: Works as a native Overlay that can be toggled on/off via the Overlays panel or the included toolbar.

The extension was created by Gemini AI based on my requirements and the tests I did.
License: GNU GPL - The GNU General Public License v3.0 - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
The extension is signed and I published it unencrypted, under the same license as Blender - GNU GPL, entirely within the Free and Open Source spirit.
How to use it:
- Select any Geometry, Group or Component to see its bounding box dimensions;
- Look for the HUD in the bottom-right corner (default);
- Use Extensions > ms Dims-O > Settings to customize the appearance.
This is my second extension published in EWH.
Thank you, SketchUp team!

Thanks again, @dezmo!
This looks like it will be super useful for my framing drawings. I’m going to test it out next week once I get through my current deadline.
Thanks, Mike!
For me it is.
From this post about Flip Along command in SketchUp. Thanks, Colin!

ms Move It
SketchUp extension
A productivity toolset designed for precise vertical alignment. ms Move It allows users to quickly move groups or components to the world origin (0,0,0), set specific Z-elevations via VCB or point-picking, and instantly “drop” objects to the ground plane (Z=0).
Key Features:
-
Move to Origin: Centers the object’s base at the world origin coordinates;
-
Move to Z: Professional elevation tool with real-time HUD display. Pick a vertex in the scene or type a value to move your selection;
-
Drop to Z: One-click tool to ground your objects. Perfect for scattering trees or placing furniture on the floor;
-
HUD: heads-on display Elevation
extension in testing, unpublished. For and tested SU2017-SU2022-SU2026.
Thanks, Gemini AI!
