Look forward to see what you come up with. Been following your car thread, crazy good, or as our pushpullbar mates would say... 'Craquer!' Baz

Usually that box is ticked automatically but be aware that if the geometry you've selected is connected to geometry that is not selected, that box will not be ticked. If you go ahead and make the component, it'll be in the In Model library but not in the model space. Most of the time you;ll select all attached geometry and make a component with the expectation that the selection will be replaced with the component and you don't need to do anything special.

thanks guys for the info.. actually the main prob is i do not have the contour dwg, thats so hard to draw it by my own.. i just use drape tools on sandbox and adjust it..it works.. for the instant road, it will be more cool if i have the contour dwg. btw, thanks for the help! appreciate it!

Maybe this one? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=40627 (It won't save you all the manual work but can help with the most annoying parts)

delete the scripts mentioned in the window and try to install these seperate to find out whats going on. Take a look if glass-tools.rb is in the correct folder. The other I dont know what it is.

GAO I just saw that version last nite. I am going to give it a try. The video look really promising. Thanks!

What about the import to Photoshop link, providing one has Photoshop.

Oh, certainly not, thanks for enlighting the guys here (who otherwise happen to have been SketchUp Beta testers for many years now any surely such subtle things like renamed ZIP files like KMZ, SKM, LAOUT, RBZ and such have avoided their attention...) @tig said: I'll now step out of all of this... I can't work with you any further... perhaps some other idiots in the team might try to help you... but that'll only ever happen if you get near helping yourself... Amen. I did so long ago...

I'll pay it forward when my I have some more knowledge about SU.

Never mind. Not working properly now... weird. Will test some more.

Thanks Fuzzion, I'll check it out! Best Nimesh

I would make the section of track and rail a component. This gives you the opportunity to save it a library for future use and it will help to keep file size down. You could make similar components for other sections of track to make building more track easier. You might also find it useful to adjust the location of the component's axes to make inserting components from the library easier. I used Marian's track component as an example. If you grab a copy of it from the In Model component library, you find you can drop it exactly in line with the track already laid down. track.skp

@grizzler said: i just want to use the same style on each scene in order to export them as jpegs with them all having the same style. There's no need to edit (or make new) style for each of your scenes - you can simply re-use the same style - like this... Enter you first scene. Create your new style, name it and save it. Right click the scene tab (or scenes window thumbnail) and choose "Update". If a dialogue appears, make sure that "Style and Fog" is ticked, and press "update". This "links" the style so that it is remembered next time you select the scene. Navigate to a different scene. Choose the new style that you just created (just select - no need to edit!) "Update" this scene just like the previous one from the tab or scenes window. Your custom style will now always be used for this scene too. Repeat for each scene that you would like to share the same appearance. The way this works is incredibly handy - each scene just has a "link" to the style definition. So if you decide you want to change your custom style, just edit and update the style - and it will automatically update the appearance of every scene that you linked it to.

Hi Paolo, hi folks. Go to Windows --> Model Info --> Unitsand uncheck the box labeled Enable length snapping. This will lessen the number of unwanted snaps. Zooming in will also help. Just ideas

Your a superstar! Thanks TIG

Hey Doz, Whew. Thanks, that cleared it up.
