The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)
-
That is the point of the thread - we all feel like the lone idiot...until you post your stupidity publicly and find that many many other people had done, or are doing, the exact same thing. It's very cathartic

Idiots are never alone.
They travel in herds. . . .most frequently seen on the great American Freeway system.

You should suffer fools gladly... one day you will be one of them!
I once invented my great new tool for the context-menu that would select all faces with the same material as the one highlighted... then RickW pointed out that it is already a standard built-in tool under Select...

In what side? Good or false?

One of my many many "Duh" moments came when I found out that while using the Paint Bucket Tool you could hold down Shift to paint all that match or hold Ctrl to paint all connected. I use this often.
Boy I have learned a lot of new stuff from this thread

The changes its length in the same direction it has been drawn. it has to be unattached at one end, and that is the end the lengthens or shortens.

Has any one here also thought of compiling/organizing this thread into a more readable format? Wiki? Print?

well... there's a sketchup-wiki in Dutch... so... yay! for Dutch people

Today I learned you can use the arrow keys to precisely move the selection in Paint.NET. (Holding Ctrl moves it by 10 pixels.)

I just realised it the other day myself, too.

I've been taken to task just now on this one. . . I asked for a plugin to toggle the Construction lines on and off. . .turns out it's in the view menu. . .
WHICH I NEVER USE BY THE WAY!!!!
This is so humiliating. . ..
I'm okay now. . .

I just learned that Edit > Delete Guides is context-sensitive - it deletes guides all guides starting from the current editing context and deeper, but not from "higher" level contexts. I had always thought it always deleted all guides, everywhere.

I had that same realization a couple of weeks ago.

Only last week I discovered know that double clicking on blue balloons (edge tools-inspect gaps) actually close the gaps.
Great tool!Ah, yea it's not that obvious - I had further plans for the UI. (also for CleanUp), but they've been down-prioritized.
btw, no need to doubleclick - single click is enough. -
