Thank you Dave It's exactly, what i need. Greatings Pedro (Gracias Dave. es exactamente lo que necesito Saludos Pedro)

@davidboulder said: @unknownuser said: Selection Toys has some basic functions to select all parallel or perpendicular. If it doesn't already, it would be cool to have checkbox to only select parallel with same face normal direction, vs. opposite. There is a "Select Coplanar" - which is misnamed as it's actually "Same Direction" instead of being coplanar.

@dave r said: It isn't a bug just because you didn't expect the behavior. Y'what! If it doesn't work exactly the way I want it to, that's a bug. Why yes, I am the centre of the 'verse, thank you.

if mesh formatting/tweaking is desired, check the free MeshLab too. Norbert

While I am in complete agreement with all the suggestions (keep model clean and consistent), I understand that there are cases of course, when one needs to quit the "rules". So ThomThoms UV toolkit will do the job for you - even keeping all the UV co-ordintes. [image: uv-toolkit.png] Also, there are a bunch of "reverse faces" plugins that will do the same. FrontFace is by Tomasz and while it is reversing the faces (even through group and component wrappers), it copies the material (until then applied to the back face) onto the front face - also keeping UV's.

@erentumer said: Hi , I need to create section on my model and render it with vray.I am using "slice model at selection" but I have a problem that if model is detailed ahen I use slice model , sketchup shut downs..does anyone knows a solution for that problem ? I find this with large models from time to time. My solution is to isolate and group the section you need to work on, copy it into a different document (paste in place) and then put back in the master file. I have to do this a lot when intersecting. There may be other methods but this always works for me.

Thank you Mitch, I really can't thank you enough.

Ah yes, now I remember. I came across the same problem a couple years ago. Still not fixed? Well, it's on to Plan B...

That's why I said two of them... I've never thought of or called them colors. Even when I use flat colors. I think of it and refer to it as a material. I used to think of them in line weights back in 2D cad. they were color coordinated. certain colors meant certain line weights.

@unknownuser said: I haven't checked because it's not an issue for me, but have you tried saving the setting with your preffered template? It doesn't work... I tried that already @tig said: It's hard coded. This was discussed a while ago... On a PC only... if you write a script that auto-loads and runs itself that includes some WScript calls to make key-strokes it can be done, but it's a cludge... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39837&p=352123&hilit=wscript+circle#p352123 Hmmm... Thanks for the link! it makes sense

It's probably a "crap job" DWG file causing the problem. There's a reason that the edge you point out looks thick. Most likely it's two lines very close together. It carries around the arc at the end, too. If that shape was drawn correctly with only one edge along there, the line would display with the same thickness all the way around. Could you post the SKP file showing the problem?

Thank you, UVtools did the job.

Well, I used Revo Uninstaller to remove all traces of Trimble Update SU version, and re-installed previous SU version, and.....same problem. I have finally traced the problem to a faulty, intermittent usb connection on my external hard drive. That drive contains all the files I work on regularly (including all my SU files) and I connect it to either my desktop or laptop. I work from that drive on whichever computer it's connected to, and save anything I've changed to it, backing it up whenever it's connected to my desktop. The day before the skb problem started I had just installed the drive in a new external enclosure, and the usb connector did not fit correctly to my motherboard connection. Whenever it would briefly disconnect is when the problems would arise. Anyhow, I have fixed that problem and everything is working fine now. Even tho the Trimble update was not the bad guy, I'm not going to update any of my computers. I've had a long-standing policy of not updating anything right after the update becomes available, instead waiting until I feel any bugs have been discovered and fixed. This has kept me out of trouble a number of times. I'll wait until a significant update comes out (after I feel it's safe) Thanks again to everybody.

The only option in SU is to use Artisan. But don't think you want to model a lions head in SU. This is more something for Zbrush. It is possible in SU but If you want a few details such as the mains and stuff you will reach SU limits soon. Greetz Twan
