thanks, I'll contact trimble & post here. Glenn

@oceanembers said: Rich, what was the plugin you used to model that sink? With the maya/max/blender/etc. style manipulator? I feel like I'm missing out on a massively useful tool here... I used Vertex Tools for the modelling and SubD for the organic form at the end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welke versie gebruik je, 32 of 64 bit ? Persoonlijk heb ik een oudere PC en geen enkel probleem. Misschien draaien er ook andere programma, op de achtergrond. Gewoon alles even checken

Even with all it's flaws, I'd only go back to Autocad from Layout if I was really forced to do so. And rest assured that I'm a very very active critic of Layout... (But then again I'm also an active critic of my mother, my father, my wife, my three kids, and myself...)

Personally I'm not a fan of the trays either. However it is possible to create separate trays and position them as you want. For example I have a permanent floating tray with only Entity Info.

Glad I could help. Looks like i've earned my top sketchucator badge for the day. Awesome work by the way.

yea that's great thanks man

@markewi said: The Measurement box isn't too handy... You're right. At least if you don't learn how to use it. Read the Help article mitcorb linked to. If you want to move entities to a specific location relative to the origin, use [x,y,z]. If you want to move things to the ground plane, you can use [,,0]. What ever point you grab with the Move tool will be located at the ground plane.

Thank you. I thought it might be the case.

Thanks guys, it was not a problem until recently and I am certain something has changed, this is a problem only with v 2016 rather than prior versions. Something I should have mentioned. BTW, these 'arcs' are several feet across.

That is most likely a result of the way the author of the plugin programmed the HTML for the web dialog, not a SketchUp issue per-se. It is possible to set things up in HTML so that a web page refuses to resize its contents.

thank you

this is probably not what you were referring to but should also work well http://getskatter.com/

Pull down or offsetting ? That is not the same thing! Scale * 1000 Seems works with Projection by Didier Bur But you must repair some little gaps ! [image: 8Uty_proj.jpg]

I use a Logitech MX Master. I have commands assigned to the forward and back buttons (on the side), a command for the bottom thumb button, and four commands assigned to gestures. I can draw line, erase, select, draw rectangle, rotate, move, and push/pull without touching the keyboard or toolbars.

Still not null match, pilou. Because both sculptris (btw, i use sculptris) and zbrush work wonderful. But in case of SU, both free and pro suffer from the same weaknesses: they are underdeveloped and the pro is still overpriced for what it offers. The point of this topic was to draw attention to how others sell their software: they meet price with quality. I expect by the time when SketchUp will reach the robustness of any other major software to cost like AutoCad. And by robustness i don't mean to be complicated, but to really do properly what is supposed to do already. -proper uv-mapping -fix scenes renaming bug -faster and more responsive LayOut -text mismatch fixed between SU and LO -text mismatch fixed in LO between edit mode and rendered mode -less bugsplats -some really important features introduced by default instead of being needed contributed plugins (like Layrrs Panel) ...and many others. Can you imagine SketchUp's price then? Like $$$$... and this was my point: zbrush can do much better and syill keeping price low. One more thing: zbrush users are a very narrow niche, another reason to increase price. SU can be used by artists, hobbysts, architects, engineergs, teachers, psychologists... etc. And your comparison would have been closer to reality if you had chosen Edison, not Tesla ... because Edison was a prick that used Tesla to make money and didn't repaid accordingly )) ...kind of what Trimble does with SketchUp.

@juju said: be warned that they aren't what I would call inexpensive the one show below is from RAZER here is a similar product, but a bit less expensive.. http://www.amazon.it/Trust-Gaming-Mouse-Laser-Programmabili/dp/B00HTIYROG/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_cp_6?ie=UTF8%26amp;dpID=31rhhfLj8%2BL%26amp;dpSrc=sims%26amp;preST=SL500_SR135%2C135%26amp;refRID=1CPSRW3XVJY4HK4XRN8F

I too am wondering if you can mess around with the geo locations mesh detail like give it more vertices before showing the terrain for a more precise terrain
