To process a faces to a 2d or to a 3d model Copy and then flatten one 3d model to a 2d model with scale tool draw rectangle on back plain, useing the move tool, move the left corner, by left click and hold buttom of mouse while dragging the rectangle to front plain, above the flatten 3d high spot. Then turn on xray and make a face to 2d model. Now return face to 3d model with push-pull and paste in place 3d model or vector push-pull witch tranfer flatten 3d detail to 2d model. Right click and used context intersect face to model Cut off ends of the pull face or the 2d rectangle edges. delete 3d flatten model Answer You now made a 2d face or a 3d face suface via 1-6 Now for terrain lines, Answer: draw rectangle on ground plain, use move tool to front left corner, left click hold buttom of mouse while pressing the control key. Now drag the rectangle to top plain. type in the indext input box type /20 enter right click and used context intersect face to model Cut the 2d rectangle plains edges.

@wo3dan said: disable 'Use model extents'. That worked, Thanks. @box and @nickchun Thanks for the tips.

Thanks "Box" I went in and looked but did not find anything. however there was a group of guides that i had that had a ridiculously large bounding box around them nested withing the group I was in. i just moved the group of guides, then started a new group of the objects i was resizing -- now the bounding box is where it should be thanks!!!

Very nice. Thank you!

@monkeybanjo said: i did it through Terminal, and now consider myself Savvy haha.. nice

Sorgesu, thanks for the explanation! I am going to implement that.

That works great pbacot, thanks!

Hi Wo3Dan, hi folks. I quitted SU then I changed my decimal separator from the . to the , and the list separator from the , to the ; I restarted SU and it works. I quitted SU and then I reverted back to the . and , and it still works ?!?!?! Strange. Anyway, problem solved. The help is still incorrect unless I goofed somewhere. Best regards.

Thanks.

@unknownuser said: @bunnyack said: b) it won't keep the original surface, so I can't archieve my goal of giving the fuselage some thickness. push the <tab> key during jpp (and a few other of fredo's tools) in order to get an options menu.. there you can pick 'thickening' for a solid offset.. Thanks Jeff, saved my day Not only did it keep both faces, it also stopped sketchup from crashing at 79%. Problem solved.

Jean Lemire you are a true Gem! You have solved 2 of my head scratchers yesterday, and today I will be much more productive!! Thanks for the good help!! Off to make a new wheel! Mark

It worked! Thanks!!

Do you have an image of what you've reached so far?

yes it would....

@box said: @jgb said: You gave up 3 episodes of ST Voyager to do this No no not at all, one eye on model one eye on seven of nine. @jgb said: Seriously, what pluggin is that? Tig's extrusion tools can be found here. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25362 Two things wrong with your excuse...... You can't do 3D with only one eye. Only one eye on her???? What is wrong with you

Thank you. I sent a PM.

Thanks alot. Yes, we have a big family dinner every Sunday evening so we need it!!

Jerry, did this help?

Gerrit is correct. You can't see textures on faces outside of the current context when editing a component or group.
