Thanks John for your reply. my main problem was the inability to get the plugin into s/u plugin extension window, (there was no install extension button.) I finally found a s/u 8 m2 update and now works fine. Jim

Yes you can! But all your appartments must be "components" themselve! See Component Comparison Components by Thomthom After I don't know what the plugin accepts as complexity component ? Maybe this can help you for make components first ? By TIG Select something Copy all this "one line" inside the ruby console! Press Enter m=Sketchup.active_model; m.start_operation("Faces>Compos"); n=m.active_entities;m.selection.to_a.each{|e|(g=n.add_group(e.all_connected); g.to_component.definition.name="FaceSet#1")if e.valid? and e.parent==n.parent and e.class==Sketchup;;Face}; m.commit_operation [image: index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1622.0;attach=15209;image]

It's difficult to tell from that image but it looks to me as if you have internal faces. Delete or hide those as well and the lines on the surface would really be hidden. In the front I'm getting what I think you're showing. The one in the back has had the internal faces deleted. [image: cyU7_Lines.png]

Got this figured out by a user on reddit, download x-mouse and remap the buttons. if you need help let me know. Cheers

In my practice as an architect I have replaced AutoCad completely with Sketchup Pro and Layout years ago. Now my pc is getting an upgrade. This is what I will keep: Storage: Samsung HD 1035SJ ATA Device 1TB SSD-storage: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256 GB ATA Device Windows 7 Professional New: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Boxed Motherboard: Asus Republic Of Gamers Z97 MAXIMUS VII GENE Video Card: GeForce GTX 980 4GB Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C8G3D1608ET3LX0CEU (2* 8gb = 16gb) The budget must stay realistic. Thanks a lot for any thoughts or recomendations.

Thank you. Can you please suggest some good add-one? Time is value, do not want to test several ones. Better to hear professional suggestion.

Awesome. I found this thread looking for an answer to the same problem <Couldn't save styles out for re-use> List view was the problem, Icon view "fixed" it. I haven't experimented with saving and re-opening. Mac OS Mavericks. Sketchup 2015 pro

thanks Dave. these technique is smart one. I like

I might also suggest that if the geometry you are working with doesn't work well with the orientation of the axes, just change the axes so they do. Context click on the axes, select "place" or "change axes" then put it where you want them. You would usually want to use the geometry you are working with as the inference point for placing the new axes.

@ cotty; @ TIG: Both of you have been very kind. Thank you very much!

What a simple solution! Thanks very much for your lightning fast response, sometimes you can stare yourself blind. Ehh...I have some more problems, but because I could not even solve the simplest puzzle I left those. So...some new challenges ahead, but no more mightnight oil burning for me. With help through this forum I should be able to prevent that Thanks again!!

thanks so much for the help!

Later on you'll eventually want to find a shortcut for View > Component Edit... > Hide Rest of Model... It's very handy to be inside a group/component and well... hide the rest of model sometimes. (wich is what you are setting at model info)

Well, of course they are accessed from the Context menu and thus the commands change depending upon the context.

SketchUp's built-in tolerance is 1/1000" If your initial circle's segment length results in FollowMe geometry edges of shorter than 1/1000", then they won't get made - because SketchUp assumes the two ends are coincident and so skips on. Then any dependent facets also get omitted etc... This occurs in any operation making new geometry - like the native FollowMe, Intersect etc and any similar Plugins... As was said before... Scale up temporarily to avoid these issues.
