Dale, thank you for the complete reply. It is very helpful and works. Gary

I think you have to align your hinges on the same axis , then take the protractor and place it in the center of a hinge's bolt and rotate. It should do the job ! Take care ! [image: IrHl_1.jpg] [image: iD16_2.jpg] [image: X64g_3.jpg] [image: CpJz_4.jpg]

thanks again, I will keep this in mind for the next one. Glenn

I had the same problem, i tried everything said here and nothing worked, what i last did was exploding everything and then exporting it to older version of autocad. And now it works.

Thanx

@dexterk said: extracting a footprint, over several levels if necessary, building the component and putting it back in the same spot is what I think you're suggesting. Yes, exactly. I have been using this method for various (usually complex) sub-structures successfully. Another "easy" way of doing it (as per Dave's popular method) is to create the component - then make a copy outside of the region of your complicated model - modify this copy (and the one in place will naturally reflect all modifications)

THANK YOU!! IS WORKING NOW

Sam, please (if you have not done this yet), try to group your bowl in SketchUp and export the model with this grouped geometry (rather than raw geometry) included.

I've solved it by openning a new file from scratch (cmd+N). This operation makes "left click" work again. (buf!)

thank you jean, i looked at this site and alreadu found couple of things i need.

@gaieus said: The reason they ask for the exact steps (especially if you can reproduce the error) is that this way they can identify the bug (if there is any) which causes it. There is actually a lot going on under the hood and only a few errors generate a popup like this. @desertraven said: Also does anyone know how to actually contact Google support? ? ? If it's about the bug issue, here is the trouble shooter: http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1678675&page=ts.cs Ha ha all they had to do is produce some errors of their own, most issues are not new but never corrected. This particular pop up window is completely useless! Just fix what you guys know is wrong and we'll all be good.

It's always better to ask people for permission (although the terms of service try to imply that everything publicly shared can be re-used, modified, derivated, redistributed. Every modeler has granted these rights for other users). Next to the username is sometimes a blue envelope icon that opens a contact form. Unfortunately users can turn it off and then there is no way to contact them (except you find their username somewhere else on the internet and are sure it's the same person).

Window > Preferences > OpenGL See if Hard Acceleration is enabled/disabled If its on turn it off and see it it improves If its off turn it on

First I scaled everything up by 1000, used Joint PushPull to extend the face of the "stub" before moving it into position, then scaled the lot back to its original size. Kee 70-5.skp

no worry here is my result with solid inspector [image: capture01kl.jpg] I am now looking for identify all suspect errors so, I resolved 99% of errors but it still be one it seems it's the circle, but I dont know how to repair it.. [image: capture01vp.jpg] p.s. I heard about ''fix solid'' plugin.. would be something good for me in that case ? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=33471

@twingi said: now how will things work out in Flash? I have no idea about that as have never used Flash for animations. Note that you can always export to image sequences (just change the avi file type to a static image and make sure to export them in a separate folder). Maybe your flash app can handle those better (no transcoding and all that stuff needed)

Hi lockdown224, hi folks. Your blue axis is upside down. The dotted part should be pointing downward. Just ideas.

Thank you for sharing your work.
