                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.

                                        You probably missed this, too. If you want to place the same radius on other corners, double click near them.
                                        Click on pic if it doesn't move.
