    you could also do the 2d thing, then P/P then ctrl P/P, then delete faces on top and edges on bottom (not necessary). of course it helps to have selection toys plugin for this method.

    @al hart said: You might appreciate this next weeks tip: 2 pt perspective for better vertical alignment... No, they are not at all placed in angle - here is a "real ortho" (parallel projection) view... I am (of course) not happy with some of the procedural textures yet...

    Hi Ryan, Never heard that there would be a limit. Are you saving these styles separately afterwards or are all these styles with different backgrounds are in the same file?

    There are a few important features missing from the Mac version which are on the PC that I would like to see implemented. I guess the Mac version has the odd thing the pc guys would like also!

    Hi frv, Is that part not grouped or inside a component by any chance? In this case, maybe that material is applied on group/component level. Try to paint the group/component also with the default material (this shouldn't affect any materials applied to the faces directly "inside").

    Yes, I am interested. So far, so good. Note however (when hidden geometry is on), that some parts are made of rather much geometry which won't help keeping the model clean. Especially near the bow (where also there is a little bend-in in the mesh). Some suggestions also: After you make the mesh with SSB, convert the group into a component (right click the group > Make component) After mirroring, do not explode the two parts. When they are instances of the same component definition, you will only need to work on one half at a tzime and all the changes will be reflected on the other half (not to mention savings in file size). There are some inaccuracies in the modelling process somewhere. An example; here the two halves do not perfectly align. You can easily move them together at this point but when I placed the deck on top of the hull, I noticed other misalignments, too. When dealing with such geometry, always double check these little details othewise you can easily end up with some troublesome things later. [image: hJ8O_Move1.jpg] [image: LLov_Move2.jpg] All in all, very nice for "baby steps" and I can already see where you are going (although the horizon of a baby is still somewhat smaller) so feel encouraged to learn to run, too.

    The same has happened to me a few times. I find that opening the Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities) clicking the hard disk reference and running the Repair Permissions routine does the trick.

    I have been thinking about the naming of components and I dont think that the name is the key. I think the layer the component is placed on is what will solve the problem ( as per tigs suggestion . Thanks Tig) of organising components for an organised estimate (BOM). We have been working on a ruby that will actuauly take off square meters, lineal meters and componets all in 1 go. It is very efficient and will do a 5+ meg model in seconds. There are a lot of bugs and things to sort out and it is not yet ready for public consumption but I think it will be in the next couple of months or so.. fingers crossed see how I go with my busy work flow (out side Sketchup that is). standardisation when it comes to layers a at this stage it is not important. Changing of names can be done by the individual user to suit there own needs if the UK and the US can not agree. Us damn Aussies will probably come up with some other rediculous method that will have some relation to beer some where. I guess the main thing is the job gets done efficiently for end users. If designers and architects dont draw custom components and use 3d warehouse or formfonts it will be necessary to re assign a layer to component anyway. The ruby I have been working on does not require standardisation as it looked as though no one would agree 100% any way. I shall keep you all posted on my progress.
