Thanks Dave and my work continues!

Okay... so by a process of elimination I am thinking that its file related. Attached two pics: one from a 'problem' file... I then copied and pasted in place into a new skp file and imported the same view across and no clipping! Incidently I have saved the problem file back to v7 and opened it up in my older version of skp and it still clips, further confirming that it is probably file related... Now I just need to determine if its something I am doing as part of my workflow to cause the 'bug'. Will keep trying to isolate the issue. Standby...

The toolbar doesn't load on my system anymore either -- it could be a issue with Sketchup 8 or is could be they messed up something in the newest drivers. Best, Jason.

i tried with "Repair" SU, no success Then i deinstalled and installed again and now it works again

Hi - I had a quick look at your component. It doesn't seem to be a whole table; when I download it I get a top and 4 legs and only the top is dynamic. It may not have uploaded correctly. To upload dynamic components right click on the component and select 'share component' - this should work and it will allow you to upload updates later. Regards, S

These are very nice. I use the light blue sky one for engineering design. The SU screen now looks like my Autodesk Inventor screen. Thanks. Regards, Bob

When I create new libraries for materials or for styles or components, I just stick them in the Materials, Styles or Components directories so I don't have to go searching for them in other places on my computer.

Ah! Excellent explanations. Thank you both. It looks like Proper Animation or ImageAnimator may be what I'm looking for.

@unknownuser said: The reason I want SketchUp to work this way, is because I have so many plugins, SketchUp takes FOREVER to load. And with this plugin, I don't want to wait for 20 seconds before I can edit my component. Also, why should I buy a $25.00 plugin when this is free? I would pay $25 for multiple windows in one instance of SU and I didn't know about that component editor window... that is sweet I'll have to get that.

Bump! I'm going to forget that TIG's code/solution existed in 2 months and re-post my question...

Also read up on ImageTrimmer - it might do what you want semi-automatically.....

@unknownuser said: You can also try these? Link goes to Sherwin William Color Palettes in 3DWH http://goo.gl/qS0qG Great resource. Thanks!

To texture large surfaces with the free Training Edition of Tgi3D SU Amorph you can work with smaller chunks. The UV mapping and texturing utility also keeps the previous texture. So what you can do is include a portion of the mesh that has already been textured in the next area and then you can try to do a seamless merge of the texture visually to the portion that was already textured.

Hi Niels, As xrok1 and Mitcorb said, there are new powerful tools you can use. But following your demand: Version 1.7 _ Version 1.8 _ Version 1.8.1 _ Version 1.9 _ Version 2.0 _ Version 2.1 _ Version 2.2 and the last one: skin23.zip simon

After an epic journey, I found the answer! the line: -moz-user-select: none; Must be added to the CSS of #sheet Andrey

Vista - right-click bottom Task-bar and select Cascade, Side by Side etc for ALL windows... Can't do SKPs alone... unless they are the only windows open...

Brilliant!, the model is workable now. I'll keep you posted about the success / failure of 'reloading' the model in the original scene. Then exporting to Google. Thanks.

Seems the new Artisan can help you? Rendering program is another question, there are a lot on the market TheaRender or Twillight or Podium or... By Solo [image: petestoppel13.png]
