      It's been a love/hate project I've tackled on and off when I had time.

      So to finally draw a line under it is great.

      Now to see what happens next.... ๐Ÿ˜›

                    I like to place section planes at specific locations. So, when I learned that if I hold down CTRL before clicking to locate section plane, it will stick to the face it is near. Then I move the plane using the move tool relative to that face. Duh or D'oh, I don't know, but I like it.

                          I found a small miss type on The D'oh! Book P61(ver.1.0) P63(ver.1.1)

                          [20mm, 10mm, 30mm] absolute move -> <20mm, 10mm, 30mm> relative move

                          By the way I could find Doh about Array Command, we can change operation 'x' to '/' with using 'x1' , or we can change '/' to 'x' with using '/1'.

                          copy(move + 'alt') some object and type VCB
                          <1000,,>
                          x4
                          10000
                          x1
                          /4
                          20000
                          /1
                          <1000, 1000, 1000>
                          x10
                          .... we can continue 'x', '/', distance value, relative vertics, absolute vertics.
                          'x1' or '/1' is important.

                          Thank you for GREAT BOOK!!

                              And if you create a component and save it using File>Save as... and then import it, it'll be double wrapped.

                                And Making a Component creates a new context menu on the Right Click Menu!
                                "Save As" (+ "Reload" + "Detach")
                                So more speed than the menu "File Save as" ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                  I've just spent one hour asking myself why I could not copy-paste from an old SKP file to a new SKP file with a newly imported AutoCAD drawing. I run SketchUp's checkup, GPU-Z, Repaired SketchUp, reinstalled SketchUp... Nothing. Until I remembered these guys send me the AutoCAD drawings in milimeters instead of meters, but I imported it as meters... So the new drawing was gigantic and anything I copy-pasted from the old file was just too tiny to be seen.

                                      XnView is way better BP2 library explorer then a built-in one.
                                      As well I use XnView as Component explorer for years now. Excellent with 2nd disply + drag'n'drop.
