Thank you I will try that. Regards Penguin2

@sonder said: I've used the Wacom Intuous 3 for years. Absolutely love it. I just bought the new Intuous 5 touch and love it even more. They work really well with SU. I agree with you, Wacom graphics tablets are simply superb. I myself am a user of one and am very pleased. And when drawing illustrations, I use the service https://create.vista.com/colors/palettes/easter-color-palette/ to find the right color palettes, there are a huge number of them and are often useful. Enjoy.

Yes Jean the only what i want, I'd like to do this with an easy way. You suggest rotate way ok I'll try thank u. But I tried mirror plug in and it's I think, what I want, I select the object, give an axe and it's done. I'll try rotate thank u

Thanks for that explanation Tig, it's working now. I believe my problem was in the Styles section.

No Mike, if u have alredy a dwg there is not problem but if u have a jpeg or a pdf, from an image, when u redraw, the line that u are drawing are not accurate, u must correct a lot and if u have some quote u can re draw the floor plan but I think SU is slow in this if I compare it to a cad.

maybe if show us what you want to achieve, we could help you.

Not all the faces are the same size. I would rather have an option to place at the bottom, or have an offset value. I will keep searching. Thanks.

Layout does not have scripting support, so any plugin would need to be for SketchUp. From your brief description, it sounds like you just need to export component names to a file. What do you want to do that requires a Database Plugin?

I don't see LibFredo6.rb

I would definitely recommend purchasing at least Photoshop. I've always stayed far away from costly subscriptions if I can. I don't have extended, and I don't know if it's of much use. I also have Lightroom, I think there's some feature overlap there, but LR in itself is really awesome. One huge difference between earlier versions of Photoshop and cs5 and 6 is 64bit support. I went from cs2 to cs5, and the difference in file handling between the two versions was night and day. Of course this was comparing 150Mb many layered files, so it depends on the kind of photo editing you use. I didn't find a whole lot of practical difference in Illustrator versions, but image tracing works really great. I don't remember it from cs2, I didn't use it much then. Acrobat and indesign conversion features are vastly improved. jm2c Andy

If you have "flat" surfaces See Dynamic components for that!

That is strange. I use 64bit Win7/8 and have not had such issues... Perhaps you got some files stuck in VirtualStore? (You can use this plugin to check: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=48399) Perhaps updating drivers help?

Nifty, thanks Jim. Do you mean the script could be adapted to link the numbers to the component? That would be beyond me at the moment.

Hi jpalm32, hi folks. @jpalm32 said: @jean lemire said: Hi folks. If you right click on the name of a group or component in the Outliner windowto get a contextual menu and then choose Zoom extentsin this menu, the view zooms on this particular group or particular instance of this component. Just ideas. Wow! Didn't know that . I posted that to show that there are a lot of usefull functions that are often overlooked since many new (and not so new) users forget to check if a context menu is available for objects or items or dialog or tools, or whatever. The first thing that I teach new users for any software is: 1 - Open each and every menu and sub menus and sus-sub menus to read what lays there. Judging by the questions aked here and also in the Google hel groups dedicated to SketchUp (SU), many have never done that. Having done that, they would have found the Help Menu that gives access to the Help Center. 2 - Place the cursor on each tool icon to read its name which, usually, is a good clue to its use. 3 - Right click on all objects, icons, menus, buttons, items that are shown to see if any context menu lies somewhere. 4 - Print the Quick Reference Card. 5 - Read the help, especially about the user interface. For SU, you soon discover the extreme importance, especially for beginners, of the status bar that sits at the bottom of the Model Window where SU is constantly giving clues as what to do after the selection of a tool, for example, and also about the Measurement tool bar that sits also at the bottom but the right of the Model Window. 6 - Take a few hours to view all the video tutorials that can also be accessed from the Help Center. 7 - Search the Youtube channel dedicated to SketchUp Just ideas.

Cheers Jim. I will give it a try next time I have a spare minute.
