Ed, Attached is a dxf (change extention from txt to dxf) that you can import into SU (origin unchecked). It has all the components, and 3d features preserved corectly. You can explode and edit as you see fit. ABR15.txt

Yes, more or less. In SU Layers are not to separate geometry (groups are to) but only to control visibility. If you put different pieces of raw (i.e. not grouped) geometry on different layers, they might end up conflicting with each other all the time. Just imagine that you decided to unite two groups and move the geometry from one to the other. It's really unpredictable how it will behave. The other thing is that Layer0 is a bit special layer. Although all raw geometry is on there (if you follow the rule), if you turn it off, the geometry is still visible. Lastly, until you feel really safe with working on different layers, I would even recommend not to work on other than Layer0 (always keep that the active layer) and only move things to other layers after grouping and through the entity info box (it's rather small so you can even keep it constantly open). If your file is already a mess, use this plugin by TIG: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=7638 It will move all raw ("loose") geometry either grouped or not onto Layer0

Oh! Thanks a lot! It´s easy! But I didn´t know about it. C.

hey .. .that works too!

And oh yeah -they are still making tweaks and the project is supposed to be wrapped up Monday . I should have told them I won't start a model until things are decently in place, but we all know that between architects and clients, they would still be designing the Empire State building. Rick

@unknownuser said: We go to the moon but we can't know why these tools are named "french curve"! That is strange bizarre The only Frenchman in the discussion is the one who has names like Parrot and Pistol for the different shapes. I think that answers the question. I suspect that in 19th Century architecture they were indispensable for designing French-styled embellishments.

Hi there samuel, i'm mesraem and i'm new to this forum. I've been experiencing this kind of problem sometime ago when i imported .3ds file to sketchup but i have no clues yet on how to resolve it, well anyways i just want to share this site to you http://www.i-urban.net it has lots of free max files and other format that could be imported directly to sketchup like .dwg/.dxf file and .3ds as well.

I played an online game (Rogue Spear) for years against a buddy of mine and every time he would kill me in the game he would stand over me and squat over and over. It looked like he was humping my dead body and as evil as that may sound it was quite funny cause he would get killed most of the time by the other players still alive in the game while he was degrading my games body? I wasn't very good at the game but I played with people that were and it became more of a game to them to see who could 1. Kill and hump me and 2. Make it around the whole map of the game and hump me again! I know I know kinda sad but we were kids and we thought it was funny but any way it became so wide spread on the server we were playing on almost everyone was wanting in on it. So I changed my screen name to humpmetwice so anyone who wanted to hump me could easily find my games dead body lying helplessly somewhere in the game and have their way with it. The name stuck plus you never have a problem registering anything with someone else already having your name!

Yep, that's what I do. And then it comes back like a bad penny!

Hi Rick, The GE Snapshot and Terrain are imported as locked groups. You need to unlock them first (Right click or Edit menu). Then you can manipulate it just like any other groups entity; move it, enter the context and position texture etc.

I am having a same problem but none of the option seems working. Also neither version of .dwg file works and suddenly sketchup won't open ANY cad file, even those that used to be easily imported a while ago. Any ideas?

@gaieus said: Help > Welcome to SketchUp and if you want to get it launched each time, check the box at the bottom left. THANK YOU! I was just about to jump off the balcony! Thanks again!

Thread necromancy here to point out that getting rid of the terrain layer if you're not using it in a geolocated model can manage a huge reduction in file size.

Try using SectionCutFace ruby first...

Thanks for all the help. For future reference; the new content aware fill of Photoshop CS5 would work magic on these artefacts. It really looks like it's a feature imported from the future... from the videos anyway. CS5 isn't available here yet GIMP's resynthesizer plugin isn't hardly as good.

@xrok1 said: use a plane (rectagle), do a right click intersect with then hide the parts you don't need. i made the rectangle at the base extruded it upward then tried to intersect with model after that i tried to push the rectangle until it disappeared but it didn't delete the edge of my berm at all *&!^@ hard!!

Thanks Tig..I think I feel a little better now..
