@tig said: @haynesc said: hi all is there a way to create a shortcut to deselect and close all open groups and components ? i know you can select the model from the outliner dialog ... is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut for this or a little ruby? thanks First you need to be editing a group/component. Next you open Window > Preferences and click on Shortcuts Now in the filter window type close. You should see Edit/Close Group/Component. Select it and add you preferred shortcut to it - I use Alt+B. From now on pressing Alt+B will close the current edit session - if you are nested into edit a number of levels then repeat the key until you are back at the Model level... To assign a shortcut that is context specific first get that context, then filter to find it - e.g. hiding the rest of the model toggle on/off when editing is also very quick and useful as a shortcut... or you can select a face and then Reverse or Orient become available for shortcutting - these are both useful too... thanks thats what i need ... i used Alt+Q (Q for Quit)

@squarewhite said: Is there any plugins or extension that allows sketchup users to set a folder as the place where sketchup is supposed to save your skb files ? I find annoying to have so many files in my folders. For Autocad users, i suppose that i´m nostalgic from the MOVEBAK command line. It will always make the SKBs in the Model's folder. You can switch off backup making in Preferences. If you do that but want to still have some comfort that your precious concepts are safe from crashes etc then as well as making regular saves find my Archiver.rb script [ http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=149749#p149749 ] - this loads Archiver into the File menu - you can easily shortcut key to it, so then pressing a key before you make any major changes will make a silent backup into a folder called Archives - the Archive file is named as the model_name[yy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss].skp so you can readily work out which one is which. Unlike SBDs earlier versions are not overwritten and they can also open directly in SUp if desired. Also the Archive is a snap shot of your model as it was at the exact moment you make the Archive - not the last 'saved' version - unlike an SKB which is always the previous saved version. There are also some other useful Archive tools added to the File menu - one opens the 'Archive Folder' and another is an 'Archive Option' - this makes an Archive of the model as it stands that second and then lets you save a version of it as model_name[Option_1].skp and carry on working on it with perhaps alternative ideas, without loss of the original scheme... Archiver isn't for everyone, but some find it suits their workflow much better that SKBs or even save_as'ing...

@meezo said: when you right click for creating a component, in front of the make component there is a letter G. What is the key to use with the G? None. You just press G. If you need to use more modifier keys it'll say. You define you own hotkeys under Preferences->Shortcuts.

Thanks Chris and Rick for resolving the problem and thanks for the great Ruby.

Thank you very much for offering your help through joining your team. I am gladly accepting your offer. http://bigpaperwriter.com/blog/essay-on-andrew-carnegie and offering a little something in return. Here is an article I would want you to look through and maybe you will find it rather interesting for yourself.

I have the rounded corners plugin but I can't get it to work. I for got trying follow me. Thanks for the help. Todd

There was a post a few weeks ago, where someone had developed some posing models for sketchup. It was like he had rigged some mannequins with operable joints. I believe there was both female and male, like base models. The male was a bit buff, and he was talking like he was going to do one a little less brawny. On another front, perhaps Sketchyphysics can do what you are seeking. Search this forum.

You are correct, the camera moves dramatically. However once you select a field of view you can always move the camera back to where you wanted it in the first place, but this is an irritating glitch.

Radial dims are built in but for angular dimension see here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=21730&st=0&sk=t&sd=d&hilit=angular+dimension&start=15

great idea, Remus. makes the FollowMe tool a lot more powerful, while sticking to the native SketchUp workflow

There isnt a way of controlling it on the PC as far as i know. If it isnt showing up its probably a bug, have you updated to the latest version?

Yes, with LightUp you can "bake" shading effects on your materials and export those in certain formats. There is a fully working, 30-day trial of it - give it a "trial" (Sorry for the terrible pun but I could not resist )

Ray, This is what you should see in your plugins folder (CadFathers Icons.zip is optional - another set of icons.) [image: iYj5_2Dtools.png]
