Haven't tried Artisan, but I like Vertex a lot. My trial ran out so I just bought it.

Hi RTD, I don't think a 'smoother' mouse is going to help, it seems the zoom thing is what it is. I will often copy components off a ways to work on them, then hide them, which causes the zoom prob. From now on, I will separate the model into different files and bring them together at the end. As for 'lost in space', I use the 'Previous' function (just below 'Zoom extents'), which will step you back five views. I use it so often I have a shortcut for it. Baz

Turn on hidden geometry and just reverse the blue faces. (RIght click reverse faces). Or click a white face (a normal) and then right click and Orient Faces.

it's about right here... [image: ZY8T_xxx-d03-cbs-tv-beverly-hillbillies-14-4_3.jpg]

There's the plist file. It may require a reinstall, though. I think you could install over the existing copy so you don't lose your plugins and such.

Thanks Charly, that was tried Thanks Dave, the style revert worked. Before you posted that reply I found I could copy & paste to a new Sketchup window and the problem goes away. I realize now that was because the model was using a fresh uncorrupted style.

Thanks guys. Going to two point perspective seemed to work pretty good.

Happened to me also. Try changing the icon by right click. Didn't work but all of sudden one day it came back. Not much help but you're not alone.

Thanks Rodman....I looked at it, and I am using Hole Punching by TIG. It works great.

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 remember that I have two of them and that mine are like 4-5 years old and pretty outdated.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!
