How do i add items to a group
-
Try the outliner and move it into the group you want
-
-
Select group with right click, then select edit group. Now add your entity, and click the mouse on a blank part of the display to close the group.
I think that you are wrong about the effect of the post that Gai made, he's one of the most helpful persons here, and his comment won't hurt your chances of a hit.

This is a different question, also questions get answered quicker if they are left unanswered. with u keep posting things on my questions they then go to the answered section. So please dont.!
Well, I do not see too much difference but if you keep not telling us anything when someone wants to clarify what you are really up to (by asking for further details), I am afraid no-one will be able to help.
(I would guess that almost no-one uses the "unanswered topics" list here, too.)
But as you wish, I won't answer more as I cannot anyway.

(as I wrote to you, I cannot as I do not use SP).
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Something in Sketchup that Gaieus does not use.

Joel, I do not use dynamic components either (although I once even took part at a Google Training with it), style builder and a lot of things. I have never really needed SP so I have not learnt it. I admire some of the excellent models but just for the fun, I unfortunately do not have the time.

would anyone care to look at my design and see what i have to do to get it working
In the 3d warehouse search 'Offroad rock crawler 4x4 suzuki samurai' its the one with black and some green.
Thanks for your help. -

Just yanking your chain!
I'm stuck in my Canada Election riding office this early Sunday AM waiting to solve some itty bitty problem that the Poll staff didn't listen to in their training, and I'm using SCF as a diversion.
There is a whole lot of SU that I don't use either, not even the free bits of Layout, camera work, and many functions. I'd love to have Dyn.Comp's but can't justify the $$ for Pro just for that.

Thanks for your help i have sorted it now. i will upload it again shortly so u can have a play with it
One more question. How do i make a sapsule/Chamber bent, i use it for the rollcage is there a way to bend it.
Sorry Gai i didnt realise what ur role was.
thanks for your help -
It depends what you want to bend (I guess you mean capsule, right?) the whole thing the driver is sitting in or just those iron bars for the safety roll cage?
If that latter, you could use the Follow me tool to create those iron bars. See the attached skp file for ideas.
-
Bend: Fredoscale by Fredo6? or Shape Bender by Chris Fullmer?
-
Pilou, Pilou... Baby steps and native SU tools first!
-
Thankyou..
If anyone wants to have a go at my car look for 'Driveable Offroad rock crawler 4x4 suzuki samurai' in the 3d warehouse. Tell me what you think -

I have down loaded your model but have absolutely no idea what group are are trying to incorporate into what group. You need to let us know!- When you ask a question put your self in the place of a person trying to help and make sure they have the info needed to help;
- You have numerous groups all the same name. I would think this gets very confusing. Good naming convention could help you IMO;
- Using groups is ok for a limited number, components could be much more helpful. One component definition can be used for many instances of that item so the model size is lower. Groups does not give you that advantage. Possibly the roll cage could be made with only 1 component vs the many groups you have now. ( Have not tried yet though).Suggest you do the following:
Use out-liner, select item of model importance, use the entity info box to change that entity to some useful name, create a layer with that name, use entity info again to assign to that layer. You can now use the layer to control visibility and help while you are modelling.

thanks for your helpJust a hint for the future: If a responder to your question is an Administrator and/or has 21,400 posts, it's best to pay attention
And, by the way: Welcome to the wonderful world of SketchUp

It's not really the role but my questions - and comments like Mac's...
Believe me, Lewis, no-one has really wanted to put your problems and thread off-topic - but you need to be clear when asking and if you cannot be clear (as you may be a beginner not knowing what may be important), at least answer when people want to clarify the situation.
(Honestly, we still do not know for sure whether your problem comes from inaccurate use of the SketchyPhysics plugin - no matter how many times I asked you to let us know)
