Any tips on finding which ones get altered?

Wouldn't the most straight forward way be to, shape the sphere then take one longitudinal segment as a starting point and draw the shapes you want, extrude them and subdivide/smooth. Make that a component and rotate array it.

when you convert a large group to single components you then have a number of components with different names( usually numbered) and if you know all of those are the same use the component browser replace capability to then replace selected. Nothing new been around for years.

What if there was no free version and the whole package was $200.00 (except a free educational version) increasing @ 10 percent per year for R&D?

Glad you got it figured out. Looks like you do have a 1 gig card. here's our two cards compared. remember that I have two of them and that mine are like 4-5 years old and pretty outdated. if you have an extra $300 bucks laying around, a GTX 770 would be smokin fast.

Thanks Gabor...

thank you very much guys, i had same problem now it's solved!

Select all and use the scale tool.

Thanks very much TIG When I followed the ref from the layout file, everything was there, somehow surviving one normal reinstall, plus a switch to 64bit (and major reinstall), and several mass cleanouts of the system!

And thank you. It appears that google translator did a fine job. I understood what you wrote. While I waited, I went looking for that "portaombrelli" by Google Images using "umbrella stand". Finally found it toward the end of the large collection of images. There were some very interesting alternate designs to be viewed.

One possibility is to load your backdrop geometry, bake it into a background image and then use that with the foreground geometry.

For all replacement of Components (randomly or not) try the fabulous Replacement Random Components by Sdmitch!

@unknownuser said: Toolbars that stay in place and collapse as you re-size the application window...Yes finally! There is still a problem with not being able to save the toolbar positions. If you disable ruby scripts for testing, or any other reason, and then enable them, they all show up on your screen as floating windows. It sucks to have to remember where all of them went. It would be great to have the save toolbar position option available for this reason.

Redrawing a rectangle is no hardship... BUT if the shape is more complex when you are in the group edit select the face and use Edit>Copy. Then next when you are in another 'context' use Edit>PasteInPlace and the face is replicated in the same location in the current context. There is no need to redraw the face in the new context - just copy it...

Mistro I have worked with a Mac on SketchUp, Kerkythea, and Thea for quite some time, and all of that software works flawlessly. I do agree with chedda that you should go over to the Thea site and have a look at the specs, particularly to take advantage of Thea Presto's GPU capabilities. Here is a link to what Giannis, the developer has to say about it.http://www.thearender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=85093#p85093 Thea is fantastic software, and the development pace is exceptional.

Thank you, I'll check it out

You should download the correct version for you operating system and install it. It will install over your original without needing any changes.

Thanks! It helps me a lot to automate my proces. I use the plugin Comp2Layer2Scene in combination with MakeOrthoView. Every part of the assembly is a layer and a scene, named like this: partnumber-partname With the code I can make partlist in excel in a short time. Thanks again to TIG
