haha, great pic Solo! @kwistenbiebel said: Sorry guys but does 'Rhino' refer to 3D in any way? I mean, a rhinoceros is not exactly sexy ...(at least not to me) What about 'MOI', which just means 'me' in French... Or 'Maya'...which is a comic figure (a bee) from the eighties. Well, no those names don't really have much to do with 3D CAD (although MOI stands for Moment Of Inspiration which is at least aspirational), but importantly, Rhino and Maya are just cool words in English. Not only do they sound cool, but one is nature's tank (panzer), a beautiful, fast, fearsome beast and the other is an ancient civilisation renowned for incredible surveying ability, stonemasonry and workmanship. Ketchup is not a cool word, nor a cool product and SketchUp is frankly the sort of awful pun a 5-year-old would laugh at. Wow, I'd forgotten how much I disliked the name! :eugeek: Jackson

This is definitely growing to some really interesting thing - thak you all - and fortunately not "for money"! TIG: I tried that (thanks) but now I don't really have a "problem" but just a "curious phenomenon" (is this a proper term in English though?) that I'd like to understand. I'm already starting to enjoy the thread (actually that's what my first intention was... ) So again, thanks for all looking into it! Gaieus

hey, that is cool! Add it to the list of stuff I didn't know.... Boo..... you're scaring me..... tinanne

Do we really need to "vote"? I would have thought it was a no-brainer. Just so we're clear, option no. 2. Juju

@unknownuser said: If you have Autocad, you could use arc text, explode the text and import into sketchup. Robert Good http://www.digitalnursery.net Great idea. Then simply extrude. Cyberdactyl

Agreed, on my 1024 pixels wide screen it needs horizontal scrolling but there is not much additional information on the right hand side. Guite

Well, I trashed every Sketchup plist, trashed the program again, and reinstalled. Everything seems to be behaving (knock wood) Thanks for the help, guys kannonbal

I don't have the new version of SketchUp. But it is apparently not compatible with the old CDoc application. Remove the CDoc_loader.rb from your plugins folder. The functions of CDoc are now in RpTools. Al Hart

Man, I just love this place! Tomsdesk

Frederick posted a detailed description here which I also merged with the original post and "spread" all over the forums. (I hope my ass won't be cicked for "mass spamming" ) Gaieus
