      Another small tip before you go too far. Make sure you know about Groups and Components and how they separate geometry and make repetition easy.

      Yeah, I need to research that more.

        Dave - Changing the face color really assisted. Thank you again.

            Is there a way to copy the dugout on the first base side and paste it to the third base side?

              Yes, there are many ways. One of the most basic is to select the geometry of the dugout and use Copy and Paste.

              But SU makes it easier, many tools allow you to move and copy things at the same time.
              The Move tool for example, if you select geometry, then using the Move tool, Hold down CRTL and click then move and it will create a copy of what you have selected. The same works with the rotate tool, so you could find the center of your field and rotate a copy of the dugout to the new position.

              This then brings you to components, if you make the dugout a component it becomes it's own little package of geometry that won't stick to anything. You can then copy it to the other position and any edits to one will happen to the other.

                I made the one dugout a group, copy, and then pasted it. However, I am having problems trying to move it into place. I looked at a tutorial but I can not seem to finesse it into place. Are there any easy tips to get this into place?

                  In addition, in SU 8 I was able to change the lines to the axis color? Did this option go away in SU 2013?

                  Just a moment...

                          Box - Again, thank you. I had the faces option from before. I had to go to the edges option.
