      Diabloho,

      Thanks for the heads up that IDX was crashing for you -- I assume that is the free version for PC. A few users have had that problem and we're expecting a fix to be released later today if you're interested.

      -- William

                  Hello - I just joined the Forum, so I can learn Sketchup for drawing plans for my new Phlatprinter. Wahoo!
                  Not a newbie to solid modeling and drafting, but I use SDRC I-Deas at work and Sketchup speaks in a different language. Hope you folks don't mind dumb questions. 😳

                          Welcome, and one way to do that is to make the one block. THen select it all and turn it into a component. Then copy and paste the component (or I would use the move tool and hold down ctrl (on a PC)). Move+ctrl = move a copy. So this would would move a copy of the component over to where I want it. Then with the copy of the component, I would select it and activate the scale tool and scale it to negative 1 along the same axis I moved it. So if I moved the copy along the red axis, I would then scale the copy to -1 along the red axis too.

                          So now I would edit one of the components and it will change both components equally, but mirrored towards eachother, thus giving you the symmetry you need.

                          It sounds much more complicated than it actually is. I can put together a quick tutorial if my vague instructions don't help, or there probably is one already in the tutorials section on the forum. At any rate, have fun with SketchUp!

                          Chris

                          oh, I forgot to mention that you can not push/pull 2 faces simultaneously in SketchUp, though I think there might be an additional script you can download and install that will give you this functionality. Someone else will have to provide a link to this though.

                          just figured this out

                                To make a group, right click->make group.

                                To copy that group, get the move tool, press ctrl and then move a copy of the object.

                                hello btw πŸ˜„

                                  What's up everyone? I am new to this forum! I am architectural intern who is really interested in learning a lot more about sketchup. I have been using sketchup since it's @Last days. I am very proud to see what a powerful tool it has become. I look forward to using the tips here to further my career.

                                          Hi Friendly Peeps,

                                          Thanks for a welcoming and informative community.

                                          Sketchup is a relaxing hobby for me. So much fun, free!

                                          And a novicey question: I tweaked a model that is GoogleEarth ready, and now when I visit it on GoogleEarth it is a grotesque hybrid of my new and earlier versions. Will this settle by itself in a day or two?

                                          Thank you.

                                          Up the road, down the road.

                                            Hello estuary, im not very good at google earth stuff, but its probably worth trying to export your model again and then importing it in to google earth.
