I was more advanced years ago, but photomatch is a feature I've never needed to use. Found the trick tho. Have to uncheck the foreground photo. Thanks again Dave. Much appreciated.

You can download 12 at a time from the Components dialog "Save as local collection."

Thanks Rich for the video Tig - the premise of this exercise was not to change camera position - aka do not pan/orbit/zoom. But thanks anyway for the good narrative.

I'm very happy it helped.

I think I've got one for the next Doh Book. When constraining a component attribute it pays to delete the units from the value. I was leaving the cm in the value box and this is what was causing the #=100 cm in red. Noob I am.

@gene davis said: I copied the plug in from there and pasted into 2016, and all works fine. You shouldn't do that because there may be incompatibilities between different versions and it's always better to download a fresh and up-to-date version of plugins. (This time you were lucky because 6.0 is the current version in the Pluginstore: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Mirror ) (TIG was faster, but for me the answer was more work, so here it is.)

Duh. Thanks guys. Amazing how I always assume things are more difficult then they are.

Don't know if this can help you? In English with a little French accent of my friend Denis! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o76gaFDLSto

Where did you find these tutorials that show rotating the image in the Get Location window? How about uploading an SKP file that shows the terrain turned as you describe. Are you sure you aren't just looking at it from 45°?

Word of warning on the Crai Depot... It's a valuable repository of plugins, but many are out of date and newer/compatible versions are now available elsewhere... Especially if you have >=v2015... So check for the newest versions of the desired plugin, on any of the sites I have just listed. If there isn't one, then try using the Depot's version... However, if you get problems when SketchUp restarts, then you might need to remove the file[s] you've just installed... and seek compatible versions elsewhere...

@garystan said: Hi everybody : I've been working on a Log Cabin project. And due to the way my Computer System is acting, I'd like to delete this project, and start over. The other Log Cabin projects show up in My Pictures folder (where I temporarily store them until I put the "final product" on disk). But, the latest one is only showing up in the listing when I open Sketchup. When I click FILE >OPEN. The files labeled "Log Cabin Dining Room 2", "Log Cabin Dining Room 3", etc. These show up in the listing after clicking on FILE > OPEN. I can open them. But I can't find them in my System. I'm not sure where to look. garystan Update : Sorry about the confusion. I accidentally SAVED them on an external Hard Drive I used for Google Data (objects that I created). I'm hot sure HOW they got stored there. I usually SAVE them on Drive C......MY PICTURES folder. garystan

I've solved the problem now. It was caused by the fact that the label area is not a perfect rectangle (it has a curve at the top) and the image I am using for the texture is rectangular. When importing the image for the texture, I was trying to place it by clicking on the bottom right corner of the label area and dragging up to the top right corner. But, because of the curve at the top, the top right corner is off the model so the image wasn't sticking. Instead I just click in the middle of the area to place the texture and then right-click > texture > position.

Thank you so much Numerobis and Sdmitch for your time.cheers

Yeah too many times. You're onto something BIG....gotta good thing goin.........WHAM !!!!!!!!!!!. Now you have rebuild. Well, actually, it's good advice in computing....in general.

zorro can easily cut thru components too.
