      In regards to CleanUp - it does have a function to smooth the geometry it cleans up. If you use CleanUp Entire Model you have a field "Smooth Edges by Angle".

        oh, that is a really bad one, Gaieus! I am not sure if I should burst with laughter ๐Ÿคฃ , feel terribly sorry for you ๐Ÿ˜ž or just blush with embarassment, because that could just as well have happened to me ๐Ÿ˜ณ

        Well, eventually it turned out that the total HD was broken so no matter what I would've done, the repair/install wouldn't have been successful. Had to buy a new HD and reinstall everything again. ๐Ÿ˜ข

                  I just discovered that you can use more than one modifier key when setting up shortcut keys. example

                  ctrl + shift + alt + Q

                  or snything along those lines. I never reazlied that... ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                        It is my auto-assinate button in SU ๐Ÿ˜„

                        I don't really have it assigned to anything. It was just an example of how complex a "shortcut" could be. I thought I was stuck to simple single modifiers. Double modifiers could greatly expand my shortcut range though!

                          Now, what would an "auto-assinate" button do, exactly?

                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                          OK, I'll share a duh moment.

                                          THE COMPONENT DIALOG BOX IS JUST A MINI 3-D WAREHOUSE WINDOW!
                                          I found out by trying to search for a component and ended up with the same search results as the first page in the 3-D warehouse.

                                          WARNING, THE FOLLOWING DUH MOMENT IS PROVEN TO DECREASE PRODUCTION BY 1000%!

                                          OK, first I found one of the antics figures off the warehouse (not through the component dialog window). Now all antic models have a link to the same youtube video, so I clicked on it and next thing you know I have youtube fully working inside sketchup! ๐Ÿ˜† I got nothing done that day...

                                            Just learned the physical size of the SU window matters when trying to print to scale.

                                            No matter what I did I could not get my unscaled print on a single page, even though it would have easily fit on a single page. After making the SU window narrower than the height, SketchUp decided it would fit a a single sheet after all.

                                            Hi
