    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.

        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.

                  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.

                            I know I should know this (being a top sketchukator and all--- ๐Ÿ’š Yeah, I am having a hard time containing my laughter too. . .)but as I said. .I know I should know this but I don't:

                            as I go between scenes with sections how can I toggle between them and keep the section plane window off so I dont have to manually turn them off each time? I have always found the scene menu in SU very confusing and conveluted and I can't seem to get this to work as I want. Help please? Thanks.

                              David, you can access them in the Outliner. Right click on the desired section cut in Outliner and activate it or deactivate as needed.

                                Dave. . thanks for the response and please excuse the follow up. . . I guess I'm not following, or i didn't make my question clear and I don't use outliiner that much. . .is there a way to save the scene updates so that the windows just stay off? I don't see how Outline does that for me.

                                Thx,

                                  Never mind. .. I think I got it. I just update after the outliner thing. Correct?

                                    Oh. Sorry. I didn't get that part. The display of section planes is a style setting thing so edit the style to turn them off, update the style and update the scenes.

                                    Actually, if you edit the style and then update the scene, you should get a warning that tells you the style has been edited and asking if you want to update the style or create a new one.

                                        And it shows how deep SketchUp can be.
