The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)

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.

Thank you! it's really quite amazing how much of the basic stuff you forget when you don't dealwith it that often.

Yes it is amazing indeed.
And it shows how deep SketchUp can be.

A tool EXTRUDE EDGES BY VECTOR BY tig don't make the same ?
-
no, Curic works with multiple independent objects (groups, components) and\or its faces instantly.
Does Tig's one extrude to a curved object? -
-
Very good, but once again ability to process multiple objects regardless the context makes night and day difference.

My EE... tool extends selected edges and by connection their faces to any objects in the way of the vector-path, or a picked point on that path - whichever is appropriate. It doesn't process the contents of selected groups etc, so you must edit them and select the geometry to process.
The objects to which it extrudes must include some faces [even if nested inside groups etc] - so curved surfaces are accommodated... -
My biggest Doh!
Struggling with microfaces on a component..
Brain : this is a component!
Me : I know
Brain : no, this is a component, get it?
Me : I know! Will you shuv up?
Brain : idiot. Copy it, enlarge it 500% over there, and then work on it, they won't be microfaces anymore and life will be easy. Pillock. -
Why on earth is Curic Extend in this thread!
If you want to post it put it in a thread of its own in the Plugins SubForum. -

Fellow Wizards:
so in previous versions of SU there was a blue icon with a query (?) symbol or something that would give you all the statistics of a model and the ability to fix and purge throughout. What happened to that too in V 18? Entity Info doesn't quite do it for me.
thx,
D

I suspect you mean the Query tool which creates something that looks like this:
That is part of the Utilities Tools available from the Extension Warehouse.

CleanUp3? TIG's Purge All?
Do you still have the older version of SketchUp installed so you could check to see what it is called?
-
Thanks Dave. No. . it was a statistics tool of some kind. I didn't use it much but I need it today to find out where some problems are and that it can fix them.
It had a menu that would come up that would show all the entities and an option to fix problems etc.
again, Thanks.
D
EDIT: This just in:
I think I found it!
thx again.
-
It was in the Window Menu. I just did't know to look for it there cuz it had it's own toolbar icon but it doesn't now.
So. . . .

A cool one never too late!
- Draw a box
- Draw a Line Guide in whatever direction wished
- Release the mouse and type any integer fraction N/D in the VCB with your 2 hands!
7/3 for example...
(any time you want till the good position of the Guide line wished!
I don't know why that works not with N*D or N+D or N-D
-
With the same tool : how to draw an only one Guide Point in the Space without plugin!
Draw with the Tape tool any one Guide point on an Edge (not on an hot point)
(on a middle edge you can't draw a guide point)Move this Guide Point in the space
Et voilà

It works with N/D as a side effect of supporting fractional inches. Though it's a common request, the measurement box doesn't support arithmetic and doesn't really understand division other than integer ratios.
