Let's wait a day or two until it gets fine tuned...

Hi again! another silly question: is there any way a plugin could select all the dynamic components which share the exact same attribute selections as the selected one? Could be very useful. A searched a lot but could not find any in the internet.. Thanks in advance!

Could you show how it looks like now? Is it already hollow, but too thin?

Perfect, thanks!!

just google it https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=46696

When I do interior elevations in my models, I set it up in a new sketchup file and reference in my 'base' model. This way i don't have a million scenes or section lines in my main construction model.

Yep! I totally agree. I wish that the new versions of sketchup would not always default to the newest version to save. This is really why. This constantly causes me trouble when I go to use a computer connected to a CNC cutter I have access to. Have to remember to save as ver 2015 or it just doesn't work. And I suspect it's forced obsolescence, not a mandate that the versions be incompatible. Aaargh! Oh and Pilou, that 6 is exactly the kind of thing I'm working from! That much I have, it's when the center of the bottom loop of the 6 becomes a closed cone that I get my problems.

Hi, Sorry for my slow response. I want to thank slbaumgartne - that worked perfectly. Also want to thank Box - thats perfect too. Makes my life easier too! Thanks to Juju also. Best of luck John

Hi Lego! I encountered this limitation too! Try to add a *2.54 after LenX. This converts the LenX value (returned in inches) to cm!

What is your go-to plugin to turn lines into tubes for such chair? I can't find one that would connect all the pipes smoothly.

@pbacot said: Does the "shell" command work for this? I am not familiar with the tool. Can you perhaps look at the one part and guide me if possible ?

Just an update...It was a lot of trial and error but I got it to work! I feel so accomplished. I would make a note to any others trying to do this (or maybe I am the only knucklehead) that the "animation" does not show up when switching between scenes on the tray but only when switching between scenes on the tabs above the drawing window. Can't tell you how many times I would redraw and switch at the tray only to be very disappointed. However, best way to learn! Won't make that mistake again. Anyway, thanks again for your help!!

@box said: The main problem is your hole isn't a hole. Should it go all the way through or is it a cavity? Is the size critical, as in, can it be slightly narrower so that it hits the flat bottom correctly? Thanks for drawing my attention to that. I looked at the drawing in Freecad and it appeared to look OK - until I read your response and looked at it again in wireframe. That showed strange extra faces, but I never thought it was to do with the hole being of larger diameter than the bottom face. I reduced the hole size and now it exports fine. Looks like I will have to rethink the design as the hole size needed is for tapping, and re-drilling before tapping the 3D printed output may not be satisfactory. We'll see. Thanks again

Can't replicate here, using 2018.

Thanks! Strangely, layout shows no issues. At all.

@pilou said: Ok I refound it! PutsCompOnFace.RBZ by CPlassais! Click Blue Button "Telecharger"! This ChrisP_PutsCompOnFace destroys Profile Builder 2 and 3 (they don't generate geometry anymore). Wasted time to figure it out. Don't download!

You can make it easier to see how to rotate a shape by drawing a flat plane to work on, make it a group so you don't stick to it. [image: EwxG_RotateFlat.gif]

If you move Move tool cursor over the rotation handles, you can rotate it about its center without switching tools. If you always seem to be rotating the component, maybe you need to change its axis orientation so it comes in already rotated or you need to give it gluing properties so it rotates to align with the face if you are putting it on a face.
