Thanks TIG, that worked perfectly.

Nice! Works like a champ. Many thanks!

THanks guys. The video helped

Thanks for the replies, I used the method of Rich, the only thing I needed to do was to scale up my model 100 times. Because my model failed to drape correct. It's works fine now.

You can use Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste or PasteInPlace on anything in one SKP and thereby duplicate it in another SKP. You can't readily reuse a Group in another SKP later on, unless you convert it to a Component [context-menu item]... The usual way to make one SKP's Components available for use at any time later, is to open the Component Browser and either Save an individual Component [you can also do this for a selected instance, from a context-menu item] or you can choose the flyout menu option to Save all of your Components to a Collection. You can delete any unwanted SKPs from that folder... That Collection [aka Library] can be made accessible from the Component Browser, so that you can use those Components in future projects... If you are thinking of keeping all of your Component SKPs in a single location then ensure you have FULL Security permissions to that folder - the standard SketchUp/Components folder might have limited permissions by default...

it's just 3 monitors!

Excellent! Very cool use of Soap Skin Bubble!

Many Plugin shave been updated in the last few months so they would be compatible with v2014. You should always install the latest versions into v2014. Using an old version copied over from v2013 is a recipe for disaster and annoyance. The SketchUcation PluginStore will have most of your Plugins - use the v2.6.0 feature to AutoInstall all of them using a My Setup 'Bundle'... You need to have installed and opened v2.6.0 in v2013 - this will save a listing for that computer/version. Then in v2014 your computer[s]/versions will be listed as 'Bundles'. Duplicate the 13 'Bundle'. Remove any Plugins you don't really want - you will have almost certainly have some installed you never use ! Remember to include the 'Libs' like tt's and LibFredo - otherwise many of their tools will not work without their Libs being installed. Then simply AutoInstall that entire 'Bundle'... Sit back while the list is processed - if you are installing into the default Plugins folder it should be surprisingly fast... Remember that a few Extensions are only available from the ExtensionWarehouse - so you need to get/install those separately... Remeber to restart SketchUp after adding all of these Plugins to complete the process - some recently installed Plugins [like Fredo's] will not work properly until SketchUp restarts... So now your v2014 will have a similar setup of Plugins to v2013 - using all of the latest versions - of course there might be a few as yet incompatible ones around - but if so just Disable them in the SketchUcation PluginsManager and remember to let the author know about the issue - so it can be fixed asap... If you have set up Sets under the PluginsManager in v2013, you can use the 'Export All Sets' option into a folder on your Desktop, then in v2014 use the PluginsManager Sets to 'Import Sets' to add the Sets from that folder - now v2013 and v2014 should look very familiar as you can choose which Plugins to Enable/Load/Disable for particular modeling tasks...

@dave r said: You can't if they are instances of the same component. You would need to use Make Unique to break their relationship to each other. Thanks i understand gary

does it change with show/hide hidden detail?

@ashscott said: Turns out I'm more deprived than you think - I've never even heard of Contra.... haha (fwiw, I don't have a clue about most games these days.. I've never been much of a gamer except maybe in the late 80s with a Nintendo.. I just happen to know about contra and super Mario bros (and street fighter)

Do you see the section cut in the thumbnail picture in the scene window?

Hi even 2014, although street view is working in 2014, its not seeming to bring the grabs into the model, where it would normaly apply it, it turns out grey when put on the model. is there anything you can think of?

Hello Guys, I found the culprit. is the new version of "Fluidimporter." Now, I report the problem to the developers. Thanks to all

@mac1 said: masterpaul; I did not do a very good job with alternate approach. Attached is top level concept. I removed some geo to give better view. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hk4wjofwv3fzuzk/Backup_1.skb Don't worry this.. this method would had also worked. However I ended up doing it all by scratch.

@juan974 said: with more option : http://www.tarn.us next step : make wall translucent, render with line Done !

This has been fixed now and its even better than before , love the new orbiting..!

Thanks Dave that sounds reasonably straight forward...will work through it...cheers David
