guys, thank you very much!

@davidboulder said: @unknownuser said: Selection Toys has some basic functions to select all parallel or perpendicular. If it doesn't already, it would be cool to have checkbox to only select parallel with same face normal direction, vs. opposite. There is a "Select Coplanar" - which is misnamed as it's actually "Same Direction" instead of being coplanar.

This might be helpful. [image: 7954814416_2b227cba86.jpg]

I've just used circle + line2tubes as you recommended. This was just try with the plugin I just downloaded, but I see it creates spaces when you try to make tube from circle.

@amaho said: Hi everybody! I use Sketchup from 3 years, but i don't know how to make this shape in attachment.. Can anyone help me? Thanks! Bending,transforming,etc are easy to. FOr extreme warping use tgi3d warp on top of the basic tools. Render is in vray [image: yORn_Twist2.jpg] [image: lJJK_twist3.jpg]

Thanks chaps!

@unknownuser said: NO Stupid is never asking a question. You are just learning something new...something we all do every day. Indeed. And if you are curious, here is our "duh" thread where many experienced users also "confess" that they are still discovering SketchUp. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17315 And don't forget to visit our "welcome" topic in this Newbie forum that says: @unknownuser said: ...In this Beginners Forum we believe, 'There are no stupid questions! Only stupid answers!', so please don't be shy about asking any questions you may have or just saying 'Hi' and telling us a little about yourself... (And that topic has a very early ID: "57" - dating back to 2007) Moreover... when I started with SketchUp, with the first free version (5) Google made available back in 2006, the image export resolution limit (in this free version) was confined to screen resolution - so essentially not much better than a screenshot. So basically speaking, your question is not as "stupid" as it seems. Other limitations (that are no longer limitations) were: no animation export, no sandbox tools for instance. Free users have access to all this now.

The auto-loading of Ivy's components was discussed... I can't find the 'fix' either... Perhaps in the morning I'll remember what/where it was... It can't be that awkward to move the auto-loading for the 'startup' into the 'first-use' of the tool...

Super cool never thought to bend a 2D image with the Fredo Scale! [image: Sx3N_cool.jpg]

Well Ryan, actually this would be great if you can...like other modelling software that you can layer your materials.....maybe in the future...

Thank you Mitch, I really can't thank you enough.

You are right Thomthom. It did occur to me that it might be glued but when I checked it wasn't glued. I probably right clicked on some other component in there and didn't notice...

Here's a tutorial on how I made the floor in SketchUp.

Ah yes, now I remember. I came across the same problem a couple years ago. Still not fixed? Well, it's on to Plan B...

What kind of cabinets do you make? Perhaps you could share a photo or two?

@cmd said: selc ltd, You can also take the image you brought into the model already and drape it directly onto the geometry you have created. I quickly created a video for you showing how to do it. http://screencast.com/t/GYgECBqW Here are the steps used in the video Determine size of your patio Import your texture as an image Scale your texture to the proper size :: created a group first and then changed the size of the image within the group only Positioned the image above the patio geometry in the correct XY Exploded the image which creates a "Projected" texture Sampled the image texture from above and applied it to the selected patio geometry. As a bonus, I also used the image texture to create the patio without the individual brick edge work I hope this helps Cheers CMD Hi Cmd, Wow thank you so much for that cmd! I followed your video and I have sorted it now. On reflection I think I wasted my time building the scale model because the bit you showed at the end of the video looks a lot better than the model and only takes seconds to complete. Thank you again for your help I really appreciate it!

That's why I said two of them... I've never thought of or called them colors. Even when I use flat colors. I think of it and refer to it as a material. I used to think of them in line weights back in 2D cad. they were color coordinated. certain colors meant certain line weights.

@unknownuser said: I haven't checked because it's not an issue for me, but have you tried saving the setting with your preffered template? It doesn't work... I tried that already @tig said: It's hard coded. This was discussed a while ago... On a PC only... if you write a script that auto-loads and runs itself that includes some WScript calls to make key-strokes it can be done, but it's a cludge... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39837&p=352123&hilit=wscript+circle#p352123 Hmmm... Thanks for the link! it makes sense
