By chance has anyone figured this out? I still can't get it to work.

What I'm trying to do is where the cylinder is to make it open so that I can put balls/BB's in there easily.

- That doesn't work for me. I still get 24 segments unless I change it in entity info and even ten I have to do it for every circle. Maybe I'm doing it in the wrong place.
A little trick
The first time
Click but don't make anything (so you are sure that tool is not yet in race)
Click Don't draw anything but Input in the VCB right down corner screen the number of segment wished
(or directly with the numeric keyboard if you have it)
- said 13 + ENTER
(Enter is the key 
Draw your
From there any time you click and draw it, it will have 13 segments for the eternity!
Even you draw some or fastuous volumes between them!

Thanks Pilou. I did get that part figured out a while ago. My problem now is getting the opening in the races.

Thanks Jean,

The gaps happen with the Follow me tool. Not sure how to get that not to happen.

From what I can tell the edges are on the axis although now that I look at it it is not exactly centered..
3.Not sure what you mean about bringing the geometry into the context of the race.
I'm fairly new to Sketchup so there are a lot of things I don't know how to do yet. I just want to make those races with the opening to make it easier to put the balls in. I did use a Dremal to make the openings which worked OK but I thought it would be better to just incorporate it into the part that I'm printing.

This is getting frustrating. I know this can't be that difficult but every time I try something something else doesn't work. All I want to do is get the hole in here and print up the parts so I can put the balls in easier. Any suggestions?

Hi mikemwa, hi folks.
Have you clicked in sequence on all the scene tabs that are on the top of the model window ?
Just ideas.
