    Can also try going to the following menu: View > Hidden geometry. You might have triangles there and you might even have things that are not coplanar.

    @cquinn said: Hi, Running the latest version of Sketchup 2014 on a Mac. Firstly haven't been able to run Round Corners for a few months despite multiple attempts to download it. It simply doesnt load. I used to use it. Secondly I want to make sure I have latest LibFredo 6.3, but no idea what "non-asciii" name means and if I am out of luck. Either way I can't seem to get the latest up and running. My needs are simple, I run a few plugins but always run into these irritating problems with plugins. I use Ext Warehouse but Lib Fredo is apparently out of date there. I know how to load plugins directly into my plugins library myself also. Thanks in advance! Non-ascii is simply a reference to accentuated characters, cyrillic, etc... Release 6.3 is mainly to address some issues for username with such characters (since SU14 stores plugins in a direct folder ory Under the Users directory on Windows). Normally, Mac should not be concerned. I recommend you install from the Sketchucation Plugin Store, which is simply one click. Unfortunately publishing on the Extension Warehouse takes longer because there is a formal review by the Sketchup team. So version 6.3 (and by the way version 6.2) were submitted but are not yet published officially on EWH, pending this review. Now, if you have a problem of installation, try to explain what it is if you want anyone here on SCF to help. Fredo

    @box said: Clipping doesn't occur during scaling, it's one of those things that jump out at you when you least expect it and it can be quite difficult to find the reason. Have a look at this model and see what happens when you try to orbit around it. This is because this simple cube is 11km from the origin. Thanks for the demo, Box. I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future. I don't believe that was the cause or behaviour of the previous issue but, now that I've used the tape measure and this is no longer an issue, I'm not keen on replicating the bug - I'm having enough trouble trying to replicate successful practices!

    It would be nice if it did but to do that requires more, shorter strokes. Make sure your style includes all seven stroke lengths.

    What cotty said is the easiest or you can create two lines and use Joint Push&Pull plugin to push the surface down. For the outer edge I believe follow me would work or you can try Round Corner plugin .

    @box said: If you open an empty SU file and insert Roof, you will have a component called Roof with a sub-component called Tile inside it. It's actually simpler than I have written it. Yes, that worked! I'm not sure I understand how but I can work on it. It'll come to me eventually. Thanks!

    @box said: Make sure you are deleting the correct ones and that you don't have a second plugin folder. The default location for SU2014 is C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins Box, thank you. I didn't think to look in C:\Users\. I had only looked in the place where I installed the program and deleted the plugin, but it kept reappearing.

    Yes, ruby does have a modulo operator - I said Dynamic Components doesn't provide a modulus function.

    @kdarvell said: The list of folders automatically presented consists of the first level of the structure on my drive and three "recently used" folders, these 3 never change. not exactly what you're looking for but in response to that ^ part.. it sounds like you want more options in the save as dialog.. click the button: [image: r7Yx_ScreenShot2014-10-28at12.37.37AM.png] .... you'll get an expanded version with better access to all the drives/folders: [image: rhDR_ScreenShot2014-10-28at12.43.24AM.png] further, you might want to consider using the tags feature of osx.. create a sketchup tag (or whatever) and just apply that when saving a file.. it doesn't really matter where it goes because you can just click on the sketchup tag in finder and see all of them (or move all of them etc..)

    SketchUP will not import some DWG information such as text, hatching dimensions, complex surfaces or dynamic blocks. Also, any information on the layouts are ignored. Finally, curves are faceted when importing to SKUP.
