Using the Entity Ifon box you can increase the length of a line
In what side? Good or false?

One of my many many "Duh" moments came when I found out that while using the Paint Bucket Tool you could hold down Shift to paint all that match or hold Ctrl to paint all connected. I use this often.
Boy I have learned a lot of new stuff from this thread

The changes its length in the same direction it has been drawn. it has to be unattached at one end, and that is the end the lengthens or shortens.

Has any one here also thought of compiling/organizing this thread into a more readable format? Wiki? Print?

well... there's a sketchup-wiki in Dutch... so... yay! for Dutch people

Today I learned you can use the arrow keys to precisely move the selection in Paint.NET. (Holding Ctrl moves it by 10 pixels.)

I just realised it the other day myself, too.

I've been taken to task just now on this one. . . I asked for a plugin to toggle the Construction lines on and off. . .turns out it's in the view menu. . .
WHICH I NEVER USE BY THE WAY!!!!
This is so humiliating. . ..
I'm okay now. . .

I just learned that Edit > Delete Guides is context-sensitive - it deletes guides all guides starting from the current editing context and deeper, but not from "higher" level contexts. I had always thought it always deleted all guides, everywhere.

I had that same realization a couple of weeks ago.

Only last week I discovered know that double clicking on blue balloons (edge tools-inspect gaps) actually close the gaps.
Great tool!Ah, yea it's not that obvious - I had further plans for the UI. (also for CleanUp), but they've been down-prioritized.
btw, no need to doubleclick - single click is enough. -

Being able to select only a few edges from a face and offset them instead of the whole face.
Yes but edges must be selected without discontinuity!

Something I just learned a couple days ago while studying the Google Earth Modeling videos.
D'oh, never knew that you could make a unique texture from a portion of another![flash=853,505:84crs2i3]http://www.youtube.com/v/18r2sCMUSBU&fs=1[/flash:84crs2i3]

I've always known about hiding geometry by holding the shift key with the eraser, but last week I just noticed the "hidden" check box on the entity info window.

Never paid any attention to this thread until today

.....select all faces with the same material as the one highlighted... then RickW pointed out that it is already a standard built-in tool under Select...
OMG
I soooo needed this yesterday 
This thread is one of the greatest tutorials ever made!
Now to Page 1 and read (and write down) all of the golden nuggets in this thread. -

Yeah, this thread would make a great mini-pub for SCF. I'd probably even buy a tree-ware version as I can't retain online info as well as I can with a good sit with a book.
