Hi, As for the "native" SU tools you could try the "wrapping" method - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=21762&start=15 Or you might want to consider Whaat´s UV Tools http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=23725&hilit=UVTools

Hi ThomThom, Thanks for this cooool plug. The one I need is simplest, but I will deduce a smaller one from yours. Thanks for your help, and overall all those nice tools you've made.

Check out the key caps you have in the fonts you are using or possibly change fonts such you can find a symbol you want. You can use that to add symbols but not the exact one you have in the OP unless you want to make a special font. Look under start, programs, accessories, system tools and character map. For your fonts it will show the code to type for the selected symbol. Examplt http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2d79c340445bb6b89f30f02514717f00

Also make sure it is saved as an RGB channel image. SU on Windows have had problems with other kind of images.

The image shows three separate corner configurations. Why not use the power of components to your advantage and make three corner connectors. Given the fact the component definition is invariant under move, scale and rotation you should be able to use these in a number of different loactions without the intersection etc each time??

Thanks Karina, you’re right. That’s an option. The problem is that if I set more cameras the video will go slower. But I’ll try to manage it making a different movie and pasting them later. I’ll look anyway for a plug in and I’ll let you know if I find something, don’t hesitate. Thanks a lot.

Sir? You make me feel like a real old guy, Jerry. Take a look at this. Clearly it isn't the only way but it works for me. Pardon me. It's time for me to take my Geritol.

Thanks for the information. They seemed to be too good to be native SU.

@gaieus said: I told you, Jax! Congrats! Guess I had to find out for myself. Thanks my friend.

The link below may get you started. There are other threads concerning graphics cards, CPUs, and so forth. Google has a minimum and a recommended configuration suggestion in one of its Sketchup specific pages, I do not have the link right now. http://www.forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=30007#p263092

yeah i have a tutorial on How to make a MOTORBIKE (kavasaki ER-6 ninja 650 - R) in SKETCHUP! here is the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELtX14gb6i0

Chris back again I must be sure to give you the correct info the solids I was referring to was the OSCoolean plugin that is supposed to work with the SU8 free version, sorry about that. bbbb

Below is the link to the first page of the plugin thread. While reading all of the release notes in the first post by Fredo, I noticed that he said something about removing pre-existing files that look like this: "BZ__xxx.rb". I cannot be sure, but if you have any file with this generic form, I think he is saying remove it before deploying the update. Please, someone else verify this for buckeye1. http://www.forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=13563&hilit=Bezierspline#p100509

@dragoonprogramming said: its too complicated a model to do with out perfect plans, sorry.... C´mon, don´t get so discouraged! Perfect plans are hard to find, but they are not enough anyway - as it was mentioned before, it all depends on LOD you are going to put into it. If it is going to be a highly detailed model, you´ll probably need lots of reference images as well. @dragoonprogramming said: I need some thing that is a lttle less complicated maybe a little smaller? Now what´s the challenge in that? EDIT: However, take a look at the http://www.collectibleblueprints.com/Index.html - you might get some ideas and inspiration. Good luck!

Yes, and the only available "Outer shell" for the free version should also do it

Thank you for your quick response Tig I wanted a cleaner 2d geometry generated from sketchup with all my section cuts and finally to work further on cad. I would like my su model to be usable and export 2d dxf each time i update my su model. can i get something like the exportlayers2dae for dxf so that i can merge together the files to a single cad file with layers. @Tig I just Saw that you already have witten a nice script export_by_layer.rb is it possible to make it export 2d dxfs in different layers ? Thanks again.

Thank's Fredo!! Great work must have a look at your other plugins, so easy to use, sooo Sketchup!
