oh, that is a really bad one, Gaieus! I am not sure if I should burst with laughter
, feel terribly sorry for you 
or just blush with embarassment, because that could just as well have happened to me 
Well, eventually it turned out that the total HD was broken so no matter what I would've done, the repair/install wouldn't have been successful. Had to buy a new HD and reinstall everything again.

uh, thats bad!
actually, I still try to deny that hard discs just die after several years of intenseive use. its not pleasant, when the truth catches up with you... -
I just discovered that the erase function hides and smoothes edges if you use it in combination with atl ctrl an shift...
DUH!!

Today I discovered that I can drag-and-drop images straight from Firefox into the SketchUp viewport.

I just discovered that you can use more than one modifier key when setting up shortcut keys. example
ctrl + shift + alt + Q
or snything along those lines. I never reazlied that...
-
just out of interest: what function did you assign to
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Q??? -
When I press that, it triggers an automatic poking of you on Facebook.
(I dare not try if there is anything assigned to it by default because I am rendering an animation)

It is my auto-assinate button in SU
I don't really have it assigned to anything. It was just an example of how complex a "shortcut" could be. I thought I was stuck to simple single modifiers. Double modifiers could greatly expand my shortcut range though!

Now, what would an "auto-assinate" button do, exactly?
Hee Hee! -
I struggle...

Triangulate a simple rectangle surface with the Sand box?
Just draw a diagonal first!
Then apply the Sand box "Add détails"

OK, I'll share a duh moment.
THE COMPONENT DIALOG BOX IS JUST A MINI 3-D WAREHOUSE WINDOW!
I found out by trying to search for a component and ended up with the same search results as the first page in the 3-D warehouse.WARNING, THE FOLLOWING DUH MOMENT IS PROVEN TO DECREASE PRODUCTION BY 1000%!
OK, first I found one of the antics figures off the warehouse (not through the component dialog window). Now all antic models have a link to the same youtube video, so I clicked on it and next thing you know I have youtube fully working inside sketchup!
I got nothing done that day... -
Just learned the physical size of the SU window matters when trying to print to scale.
No matter what I did I could not get my unscaled print on a single page, even though it would have easily fit on a single page. After making the SU window narrower than the height, SketchUp decided it would fit a a single sheet after all.

Found that out the hard way, 100 prints to just get close...
