You're right. You have coincident faces. You could make the openings for the windows larger. They'd have to be in reality anyway so there'd be room for the window frames. You could also select those faces and create a group whose visibility can be turned off so you don't see them. Or you could simply delete the faces in the openings in the wall. If you're only going to show it with the windows in place, you don't need those faces anyway. The best thing to do for hiding and showing entities between scenes is to group those entities and assign the groups to layers which can be turned on and off as needed for each scene. Leave all edges and faces on Layer 0 and just associate the groups or components with other layers. Although you could use Hide, managing it is complicated and can cause you more problems than it solves.

Well... Blender is giving me the most flexible approach. I set the camera and then paint the texture. Any solution involving geometry projection would make editing (change of position, change of texture...) painful. I considered buying Blendup (a Sketchup to Blender transfer add-on) to import my Sketchup cameras and geometry to Blender, paint in Blender and back to Sketchup. Eventually, I chose to do everything in Blender (model, texture and render). I will let you know how it turned up! Thanks a lot for your help, gentlemen!

There's an extra trick with Glued/hole cutting components. If you insert a hole cutting component into another and if their glueing planes match, then you can cut two holes in a face, just a SINGLE face. You can't cut two faces wether or not they are coplanar.

If you do figure it out post back regardless. We love success stories here!

@Wo3Dan oh my - that really was a simple, but stupid mistake. thanks for clearing it out for me. jorgensen

Maybe this will help. [image: Screenshot - 6_22_2016 , 6_24_26 PM.png] A circle with a radius of the ring. [image: Screenshot - 6_22_2016 , 6_24_58 PM.png] Extrude with Push/Pull to the required thickness. [image: Screenshot - 6_22_2016 , 6_26_44 PM.png] Use Offset first to delineate the radius of the post. Then draw a line for the flat. [image: Screenshot - 6_22_2016 , 6_27_32 PM.png] Push/Pull to get rid of the waste. [image: Screenshot - 6_22_2016 , 6_27_56 PM.png] Select the remainder of the offset edge and use Move/Copy to copy it to the opposite side. You could have used Offset on the other side as before but this is quick and easy, too. [image: Screenshot - 6_22_2016 , 6_28_24 PM.png] Push/Pull the inner faces on both sides to make the post.

@bobrsta said: Thanks, Dave, I'll look around. Sorry I didn't find you at Basecamp. I will be looking forward to the next one! Bob There were so many people. I know I missed a lot of folks, including you. I'm looking forward to the next one, too.

Thanks whiterabbit I had someone rebuild the part for me in AutoCAD will always remain a mystery

I'd bet those window components that behave that way are Dynamic Components. You can probably resize them via the component Options window from the Dynamic Components toolbar although it's also possible they've been designed so they can't be resized or can only be resized in limited ways.

@bryan k said: I'm not sure how to frame this question. I have colored individual faces in my component and would like to know if there is a way to undo this. It has created a problem when I try to color the entire component when selected as a group. In other words, when I select the component and try to apply an overall color or material, it will only color some faces and what seems to me, not the individual faces I colored when I was in edit mode. Thanks. Something like this? [image: Remove Face Colors.gif] Remove Face Colors.rb

I want to announce that the login problem is gone. I didn't do anything, in fact I didn't even use sketchup since i posted this issue... just today I tried again and it logged in. Seems the problem was at trimble's end... and is "nice" how they keep silence all the time...

Your profile shows SU2013, still. So you can look under User/App Data/Roaming/SketchUp... for materials folders. Or you might just try running a search for all folders with "material" in the name.

Bingo! Thanks, Box!

@box said: Make sure internet explorer is up to date, has a clean cache and isn't too restricted security wise. Thanks for the tip! It worked. I am using Internet explorer 11. I reset my settings to defaults for privacy and security. Now my extension store is working. I can see the lists, etc. However, this version of store works slow. That is the search and the opening of pages is slower than the previous versions. It seems as if I am using this store on a very slow internet connection which is not the case. Moreover, I have not changed anything as far as interference with my internet is concerned, i.e. my antivirus brand, firewall settings, etc. [image: explo.png]

Thank you again pilou... because it was caused by my use (miss-use) of VisuHole, I got it from your other post - http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=79%26amp;t=65214%26amp;p=598110#p598110 Thank you.

Argh so I now know what I've done wrong.. When I've typed in my formulas I've typed I've referenced other components in the bench which are common to both static & mobile benches. I'm now referencing everything back to the overall size of the parent component which I'm hoping will fix my issues...Tis a learning curve indeed. Thanks for the help.
