Remus has just posted a "multiple offset" plugin in the ruby forum. Give it a go; offset will be your friend here and that plugin can speed things up. If you right click any entity (say a group or component) and go to Entity info, you can change the layer there.

Be sure, I have found a lot.

Well, any way we are looking at this,it's very interesting. I have never seen such a negative image on a GE model (oh well, I could do it intentionally of course but unless you did it so, too, it is quite unique). And forget the rant about the link, please. Sorry; I'm just a bit tired.

If you don't want people to download and use your model to integrate it into theirs, you have two choices; don't upload it to the Warehouse don't allow people to download it (this can be set in the "Share" settings) Otherwise the whole purpose of the Warehouse is to share models with others to freely download/modify/use etc. so it is as simple as that; if you don't like these terms, don't use the Warehouse. Don't tell you were not warned before because you have (supposedly read and) agreed the Terms of Use. Anything beyond this is mere courtesy (say to give credits or not to contributors whose parts/models one "reuses").

It was actually just a guess - I never use images just textures. Therefore I didn't know (wasn't sure) it displays as an image either.

PS. As for leaving the items ungrouped definitely not. For large models I always have lots of groups and components where I can.

Ah, the old SU6 bonus packs are available. I needed some of the very low poly cars for some quick and dirty sketching.

Thanks!

Seems fine to me.

Make a research about this guy "Jean Lemire" on the forum! All his tuts (and very detailed) are mostly made without plugin! A "tour de force"!

Thank you, I found them. I did take the steps to select the texture in the tool pallette then try to edit it. They still weren't there. I then, uh um, extended the top half of the palette and found them there. Sometimes it so simple, yet so far away. I figured all options in that section would have been displayed. They have been before. They just, just disappeared. Thank you for your advice. Z

I had these choices (block as secure)

PROBLEM SOLVED ! I have downloaded this tool http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php and modded the drivers from here http://www.driverheavendownloads.net/ati.htm. And now I can work in SketchUp on my laptop!

Open your style dialog (Window menu > Styles), go to "In model" > "Edit" tab, "Edge settings" and at the bottom, set the edges to display by material in the pulldown. They will display by colours actually (as materials are 2d things while edges just 1d so cannot have a "pattern"). [image: AhzR_styles.png]

Thanks Mike and Karl I finally was able to get a photo of the finished product and I just posted in the Gallery: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=22123

Thanks folks....I guess the idea of Sang to help with scaling is a good idea. He has his uses after all Gra

Scale everything x10, explode/paste in place etc, relocate circles so they'll intersect with 'walls' and not clash with other stuff, then pushpull circles through walls, intersect with context, delete unwanted edges and faces, hide edges you don't want to see, scale x0.1 etc gives this...

Ah this one Sorry no idea about the question

Try this - its the help page on the Podium site. http://www.suplugins.com/index.php?p=page&page_id=Help#Install Oh, and did you restart Sketchup after you installed Podium? That is necessary after installing any plugin.
