Interesting to see that the Mac OS presents the same dilemna as Windows. I don't know how many times I have had similar events.

I am not sure what was going on there (unless it is also combined with some graphic display issue) but you should carefully follow a very important rule in Sketchup: never put raw ("primitive" or ungrouped) geometry on any other layer than Layer0. What's more (especially while you are getting familiar with the program), never even change the default layer to anything else than Layer0. Layers in SU do not separate geometry just control visibility. This also means that while drawing on one layer, you constantly merge with geometry on another layer or when you move something, "sticky" geometry will also me moved with it. Here is a good video demonstrating it: YouTube - Google SketchUp Technique Series: Layers [flash=480,385:15bruc50]http://www.youtube.com/v/fBdP499iw0Y?fs=1&hl=en_US[/flash:15bruc50] As the video also demonstrates, use group/components to separate geometry.

Yes! That was it! The brick! Thank you so very much!

Massimo, Aerilius: Thanks. Model is "fixed," and I know what not to do next time. J

Dear Jim and Gaieus, Thank you for the speedy replies. Kind regards, Bob

Only trucks, if I am correct. The last cars were made in 2000. I was never that interested in cars, but I definitely prefer such "oldies".

Thank you! I was puling may hear all day If I know how I would automate this process. Its way to often in landscape architecture that you need some plan projected to curved surface - relief.

Hi folks. See attached SU file for ideas. Cave and sewer.skp

@winesellar10 said: @gaieus said: What you can download there are the profiles themselves. They (their curves) might be welded (there is a weld plugin) but I am not sure. They are best used with the Follow me tool Thanks Gaieus, I am still working on figuring out the follow me tool, but I can see how that would be the best use for those profiles My "Follow me tool" link above goes to the GSU Help article on it. It is really not that hard to figure it out...

Can you figure out the way to do yourself from the step by step instructions (they re not too detailed) or should I explain more?

Hi folks. In some cases, the Scale Tool will change the size of items that you dont want to change. The Move Tool can be used to alleviate this problem. See attached SU file for ideas. Bracket.skp

Hi folks. If you want to quickly unhide all edges, you can also use Menu Edit --> Unhide --> All. Just ideas.

Thanks Gaieus, that looks like the solution I'm looking for, Happy New Year to you.

Thanks again for the information guys, really interesting to know.

Select only the edge that needs to move and use the Move tool to lift it up. So in the case of your A-frame and assuming you've drawn a simple box and added a line for the ridge. Select that ridge line and move it straight up.
