'Scuse me, not thinking write this AM, I shall just scale the bleeping thing up and remove the problem at base point. Yes obvious I know, I just had to work it out with a pencil and a very long spoon...........

sorry for long reply ok, I will try this way thanks for your answers

Added Info: I just renamed both folder and rb to get them out of the picture and re-installed TT_Lib 2.9.1 from Store again - same result. And - yes - I exit SU8 and then restart.

@krisidious said: a lot of autocad drawings I import are just slightly off at intersection close zoom. Whatsmore it's so small that you have to zoom way in just to see it. I have seen those... a lot.

@dave r said: That's not the fix that was outlined above. Read Norbert's post and follow up the link he posted. SU8 is no longer supported though so you might want to update anyway. Oh, I should have mentioned that in my previous post. I did ensure hardware acceleration was enabled under OpenGL as a first step. Just to close the loop for others' information, I upgraded from ver. 8.0.11752 to ver. 8.0.16846. The problem was fixed and our shared network licensing was not affected. Thanks for the help.

Sometimes if you are thinking and designing as you go you can end up with bad geometry, because you've added a bit here and chopped a bit off there and scaled that bit....you need to stop and cleanup a bit before you get too far ahead of yourself. So find the correct bits of your shape and use those to redraw a new component. In other words, take the profile and the circles and their positions from your model as your starting point and make a new one correctly. That's why it was so fast for me, I just saw four elements and put them together. You had to think up those elements to begin with. As Gilles says, trying to fix stuff is often a waste of time when the parts can be quickly redrawn. However, there is nothing wrong with "sketching" in sketchup, but knowing when to consolidate a piece is the trick, and very quickly you will start to find that you are "sketching" correctly and rarely have to go back and rebuild.

I couldn't get it to work properly, I can't control position of the books on the shelf and their orientation (this is probably because I have a model that doesn't follow standard axes orientation)

This is strange. I was going to put together a model showing how I intersected the plan. I started by drawing a box around the plan as drawn(2d). I then move/copied the the plan/rectangle and intersected all faces. Surprise, it was fixed. This does not work on the original. In my previous post I was referring to 3d block pulled up and down from the 2d rectangle. I selected all and intersected selected. This worked on the original plan but isn't required on the copy. I have no idea why, other than it may close some ends with vertical errors. I'd be happy to learn something here myself if anyone knows what's going on. Slightly confused SS

Thank you Derek, but I am running a Windows 7 Asus tablet. The hard drive is ~32GB. Windows is taking up the majority of that, hence why I am looking to convert to Linux. But I do not want to loose the capability to view/show SU models on the tablet.

I couldnt do without 1001bit and profile builder

@cwmunro said: Okay - It's official, I'm a moron today! I had my numbers lock key off. Geez! I can assure you that you're not the only one. (me, but don't tell anyone) Same thing when trying to orbit in whichever "non-orbitable" program.... until you relize........

(this may appear twice) OK so general consensus is this client is asking for something impracticable. I think the best option is to render at 72dpi for those dims then up-scale as suggested and re sizing to 300dpi in-case the printer picks up on it. Slightly concerned im giving them a valid reason not to pay... On a slightly different note a few of you have suggested omitting displacement on hi-res renders. Something i find to significantly add to the realism of a render is the 'jagged edges' or at least not smooth, flat kirb edges and stone. I appreciate chamfering all the edges in SU prior to rendering would solve this to an extent but it seems a mammoth job..?!

I selected the inside edges shown in blue and ran Follow Me. No hole. Yup, that did it. Thanks.

Also try removing all plugins and restarting.

Barry, that worked just fine for me on my MacBook Pro. Thanks.

Thanks Pcmoor for your respond, but I was referring to something else, Perhaps I didn't explain myself correctly, Sorry! besides I found a relative discussion where you do anticipate so I will continue there… Topic: Variable Rabbet and Dado Depth/Width for a Dynamic Component Thanks again! Vigy.

That script is pretty dated - newer versions of SketchUp allow you to get the volume of a selected solid group/component directly in Entity Info. This manual example is really what you are seeking to be automated ? [image: vGiz_Capture.PNG]
