Glad to help.

I use http://www.screenr.com/ to make vids, but any screen grab tool will do. Very easy if you have a youtube account, they can be embedded in posts.

Thanks for your replies. I can now see everything including the ads.

Yes, exactly! Thank you Dave for your patience, you helped me a lot.

good deal...I was worried I would have to relearn/unlearn etc.

Ah, I see. Sorry but I am a complete idiot when it comes to coding (I can only model what I can see or at least envision).

It doesn't 'stop' at 48. That is as many entires as it can display at that screen resolution. To access something further down the list, with the focus on the list, type in a start value - say 5 and it'll jump down to say 50, now use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the list... This is a common issue with the 'inputbox'. The only way to get a scrollable list is to use a webdialog of your own devising...

The bronze gear is easier than you think. Make one tooth as a component then create an array of 358 copies. As to to worm , use a helix and follow me, or you might need follow me and keep. But don't be daunted, have a go and ask again if you run into specific problems.

If you also type the unit (say 50mm) when entering the value while scaling, it will scale to that size exactly (not 50% or 50x as large).

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to find a plug-in that does what you recommend. I've been trying to insert small planes into a bunch of 4 or 5 bricks at a time, trying to make it intersect with that group, and repeat the process so I can negotiate all the planar tilts. I don't have anywhere near the skill set yet, if ever, to create a contour blanket that parallels the whole form uniting them in one shot. Thanks again for your help! Best Regards! p

I don't see any figure to draw in 3D. Also please don't double post. I deleted your other one.

What TIG says. Briefly on the SU Help sites: http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=94958

Excellent! I like monkey see, monkey do.

After much searching, I found Honolulu's pointer plugin. It works PERFECT and exactly what I am looking for...!

I'm having the same issue actually. Except the issue is evident in SOME of the people, but not all, within a crowd scene. I'll have to look closer at the people who aren't flickering to see if they might pose a clue.

This- or a similar condition- has been mentioned and discussed before, where opening an older file will expose previously hidden edges. I don't think there was a resolution. It must be a graphics card/OpenGL issue? Or is it Sketchup randomly dropping these attributes?
