@box said: By Solid selection fence I mean the difference between selecting from left to right and right to left. Have a look at this gif and notice the dotted selection fence and the solid selection fence and what they select. Left to right creates a solid framed box which selects everything entirely within that box. Right to left is a dotted line box that selects everything it touches. So in the earlier selection I when left to right and stayed above the back edge line so it selected the whole top. I'm afraid it's not off to bed yet, there is pub time to deal with. In all the time playing with SU I've never realised the selection 'fence' does that! Very useful to know thanks.

Totally, agree, mate. I tend to set depth cue to no more that 3 and when taken into LO change to Hybrid and wind back the Line Weight to about 0.2 [Minimum it will go to is 0.1]. Oh, and a little bit of Fog if I fell the need but the Fog sliders can be tedious to manipulate.

SU uses an older UVQ mapping method that isn't really the norm these days.

Just a pinky, blue, yellow lights somewhere in the space! The little yellow jacket part! (here green) It's Vermeer!

Take a look at a couple of the last entries in this recent sketchucation post showing renders with the new denoising and enhanced materials for 1.3 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80%26amp;t=57758%26amp;start=60#p566928

I will check this! Many thanks!

Why don't you download the make version... it will work.

@ely862me said: Funny thing, Box's advice didn't work for me but what I said worked ! Mainly I think it is about glued or not. That must be because of cutting edge's plan VS insertion points VS axis VS face to glue on. EDIT: Sometimes the components are just slightly off face. In these cases they might still glue to face and cut opening but Sketchup will start asking if you want to fix the model. It says it fixes but it doesn't and keeps going on like this... Everything will work ok but section cut faces won't be perfect... You can just ignore warnings in model info.

Can you screengrab the issue?

Thanks for sharing. Some interesting tips included in the article.

I was getting into flowify the other day - really powerful stuff, I can see no end of possible applications. [image: 3VWt3Vu.png]

Thank you very much Not only is the written information very useful in understanding dynamic components better, but the model (which works perfectly) gives me something to deconstruct and reference to for future models. Dynamic components has a steep learning curve but am slowly grasping the basics with practise and help from people like yourself. Your time and patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you again

@alpro said: Hi, just bought this package, will let you know what I think after going through it all. Must say though I did not like the privacy policy of your site and the preapproval for paypal requirement. Mike Not his privacy policy, Gum road hosts his products, it's their policy. Let us know how the tutorial goes.

@pixero said: Thats great. Can you make it work with millimeter? I would assume so.

@tig said: What units did you use for the DWG import ? Using the incorrect options setting can exacerbate the tiny geometry issue... Alternatively importing a mm DWG as if it were meters will make the facets x1000 bigger and likely avoid disaster. When it's in OK, you can [re]orient the faces consistently outwards, and finally Scale down in 2 steps - 0.1 and 0.01 to achieve the 1\1000 th reduction... The units are in mm, I did makes sure the import happens with correct scale and I did cross checked the measurements and they are correct, both in AutoCAD and in Sketchup. But I will give it a shot by increasing the scale to see if I can avoid that. Thank you!

Well can you make a rectangle and pushpull it and make a group, Then make the next rectangle etc. Grouping the drawn geometry as you go? The selectiontoys idea only works if you are trying to separate faces from misc. edges without faces--which I thought you meant.

Thanks. That was really helpful.
