    Hi Kathryn, Yes the 'Add Icon' plugin works fine with SU Pro 2017. Like you, I find the visual help when digging around in files very useful. Mike

If not here, there are no saved drafts. [image: zMwU_LoadDraft.jpg] [image: DSui_LoadDraft2.jpg]

    Maybe just get a wheel mouse, which also has option for push down (and possibly side to side) for the wheel. If needed use a third party driver to fine tune your mouse settings. I use Razer mice and SteerMouse driver.

    My attempts to install Animator was not successful. But Spin It script works and is good enough for my purpose.

    @pbacot said: All the water marks can be on a layer that you turn on or off. You could even date the layers for progress watermarks. (ok...who could be bothered?) The use of components seems a good choice since you are not altering the model geometry in any way. Easy to tag objects in one click. I woke up with that thought. Thanks for confirming!

    Seems it's writed this ! @unknownuser said: Usage Draw a curve or a sequence of connected edges/curves. Place and orient the target group on one of the edges of the curve. (Optional) Offset the axes of the target group to the desired center. Select (Menu) Extensions → Copy Along Curve. Select the target group. Select the edge of the curve to copy against it. Usually it is the edge closest to the target group. Adjust options or left-click to verify and proceed to copying. To adjust the spacing, input a desired numeric value into the measurements box. To control the number of copies and have the spacing be adjusted automatically, input a fixed value with a c in the end. Use the left and right arrow keys to enable/disable alignment.

    If the folder with the exact same path doesn't exist on the new computer, SketchUp will not be able to make the link. Can you not edit the location by clicking on the icon just to the right of the text field?

    It is possible to have a plugin not only remind you, but to actually save the model as v2014 whenever the model is saved by normal methods (using File > save, or ctrl-s.) I'll post something hopefully today. One problem though is a doubling of the save time since the model will be saved once as the default version, then again as the v2014 version. So maybe this is not the best way.

    By default the O key is for the Orbit tool. If you hit Spacebar you drop the Orbit tool and revert to the select tool. The Shift key is a modifier for the Orbit tool to fire Pan mode. CTRL fires Suspend Gravity mode.
