        I guess I could call this "The Well I'll be Darn Thread". I have used Sketchup since V 4. And I know that the text tool will give me info on geometry. Like length, area, but today, surprise, I used the text tool on the apex of an angle and I got the following, the degrees of the angle in the text box. Never saw that before, and I would have an illustration to show you if I could get the text tool to do it again.

                        Copy a line over and type 6" to set the distance. Then type *10 to array it 10 times.

                        What I already knew was that you can type *8 or *4 or whatever to adjust the number of arrayed items.

                        However I just found out that if you type 3" or 10" it will keep your array but adjust the spacing. Pretty sweet!

                        Duh!

                        That is sweet!

                          It even works with circular arrays - just type in the angle in degrees

                                      Shift + Eraser to smooth...

                                      I know that this has always been there, but I just discovered it recently (Duh!) thanks to another thread here... I cannot tell you how many times I have tweaked, and redone a push/pull or follow me command just to minimize the number of lines on a solid!

                                      Ah... feels good to share my stupidity!
