I think your documentation assumes users are psychic. Let me assure you that VERY few are!

Your? Surely you mean 'the' or 'their'?

sketchucation.com and sketcup.com are not only different domains but also different entities 😳

Thanks for your reply

never mind it fixed itself!

Thanks a lot Rich!
..I am reporting because it was different since not a long time ago!
They must have changed a bit somewhere, unconscius that they were causing this (little) drawback.
I was wondering if the behaviour could be switched back 😄

I'll do some more digging and use your comments as a checklist. Thank you for your expertise and patience in the matter.

Did you try Animator? I've used it in the past to animate shadows over time.

I don't read the manual when I start using another, I just jump in and check the help file if I have an issue.

Your long string of questions makes that obvious. You could go to learn.sketchup.com and go through the SketchUp fundamentals. You could also spend some time going through the Square One videos

One question: Is it actually possible to disable the stickiness function?

No. That's done by creating groups or components to contain the geometry.

Perhaps spending some time learning the basics would help you.

You must display the subtitles to watch the tutorial in English or Spanish.
This tutorial, a little old but still valid, explains how to give dimensions with the push pull tool and also how to resize lengths.

PEBKAC?

Thanks for your advice,
HP support made me reinstall the printer, I installed the latest drivers, I updated the printer firmware, it didn't change anything. They say it's from sketchup, there's nothing they can do.
The problem is the same on MAKE 2017 and on 2021 PRO. I don't know what to do anymore, we have a new printer that is useless!

From this particular tutorial beginner can learn how to squander precious time and in the end get geometrically wrong result (this is especially obvious when the bulge of the wall is more pronounced)

I added the chapters in the tutorial, this allows you to directly access the parts you want to see or review.

Thanks again!

Make sure you install this version of SketchUcation Tools...

If that fails...

Could you please try to erase the

I thought either yourself or Dave R would answer....geneous....thank you 👍
