            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.

                                    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.

                                        I don't know if this is a new feature but I was pleasantly surprised to learn about it:

                                        In the 3dWarehouse, select a model, look at the statistics in the panel on the right, if you hover / click on a tag (materials/components) you can import just one of those elements instead of the whole model.
                                        Great feature if you just need 1 material of 1 element from a collection.
