Hi HonoluluDesktop, I hadn't downloaded the files yet, but I have now. I was busy and didn't get a chance to download and check out the file until now. My apologies.

Thank you everyone!!! It all helps greatly.

@gaieus said: Hm. It does seem so. Want me to put this topic into the SU Bug Reports instead? As for no answer, note that it was week-end (as well as some of the GSU Folks are on vacation) and also it's really hot (at least here). Yes - Please.. ~Thanks.

there is a plug in : shape Blender this can help you creat a screw in another way

If you have a door image for instance and know the exact dimensions of that door, make a simple rectangle of the exact size in SU; import the image as material (see this option at the bottom right of the import window) apply it to the face you've prepared by scaling it while applying to fit the whole face and voilá; you're done. Your texture will appear with the correct dimensions under the "In model" tab in your material browser and you can simply drag and drop it into any collection in your secondary window for later use.

Do you mean you imported into LayOut? And that's the screen shot from LayOut? In SketchUp, try File->Export->2D graphic.. and save as a png, and see if you get the same image. In LayOut, try rendering your model as hybrid (the render may take some time, so be patient), and see if it goes away. b

do you have a bad model that could be uploaded here to look at? I'd like to see the corrupt camera Chris

Down in the Hungarian forum, a member also had problems with Pepakura not opening SU-to-KMZ exports properly. It seems that the still available "Google Earth 4 (kmz" export from SU 6 works the best. Note that SU 6 (Pro) is still available for download at Google and even if someone does not have a license for the pro version, after 8 hours it will gracefully degrade to the free version but that does have these kmz export options!

Thank you very much Gaieus. I will experiment with the method in the video.

Thanks for the reply, @unknownuser said: I think the most important thing is to just be more careful when you model. SketchUp REALLY likes to fill in faces whenever it can. So try to be aware of that. Make sure to go back in and delete those unwanted faces. Ya, that's my current workflow and while it works it's nearly impossible to find everything until you get to max. I'm hoping there is a hotkey you can hold down to keep the line tool from drawing faces and only cut pre-existing geometry. Maybe there was a workflow for the pushpull tool in which it would boolean out all the degenerate faces as opposed to some (basically hoping I'm using it wrong) and I still can't pinpoint why it deletes the ones it does. Gamebryo is the game engine. Cool triangulation script.

Martin, The tool is one of Fredos Bezier tools. I goofed on the name a bit its "Catmull Spline" (no 's' in Catmull). mac1, What you say sounds right. I'll give it a go next time I get back to SU. I'll let you know in a day or two. Thanks.

Got it! I had not even thought of sectioning it in the true sense. I was using the term "section" incorrectly. This will work perfect. Appreciate it!

Link to thread on Hatch lines with links to hatch skm files etc - might help.

haha duh on my part (was equating "i" to inches as "m" to meters) Hmm, this sets the actual size of the object. I was looking for an additive distance. So typing in 256" on a 512x512 object will make it 512x768. Instead it makes it 512x256. Actually, Fredo6's Scale shows unit measurements in a tooltip manner, so it's closer to a solution! http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17948

Thanks, it worked perfect. Dick Steflik Binghamton University

Would one of these curves be closer to what you're looking for? [image: MxW7_arches.jpg] Neither was done using the Arc tool.

I've not tried this myself, but it looks like there's a lot here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20949
