 I'm not bringing them. But they could be there.

 I like to place section planes at specific locations. So, when I learned that if I hold down CTRL before clicking to locate section plane, it will stick to the face it is near. Then I move the plane using the move tool relative to that face. Duh or D'oh, I don't know, but I like it.

 Hey, everyone! I just downloaded the book. Thank you for the good memories!

 I found a small miss type on The D'oh! Book P61(ver.1.0) P63(ver.1.1) [20mm, 10mm, 30mm] absolute move -> <20mm, 10mm, 30mm> relative move By the way I could find Doh about Array Command, we can change operation 'x' to '/' with using 'x1' , or we can change '/' to 'x' with using '/1'.copy(move + 'alt') some object and type VCB 
 <1000,,>
 x4
 10000
 x1
 /4
 20000
 /1
 <1000, 1000, 1000>
 x10
 .... we can continue 'x', '/', distance value, relative vertics, absolute vertics.
 'x1' or '/1' is important.Thank you for GREAT BOOK!!

 Doh of the day! Surely trivial but never remarked!  
 Saving a file with objects who are not Components and Groups
 New File
 Import this file : it's converted in a Component!

 New File
 Import this file : it's converted in a Component! And if you create a component and save it using File>Save as... and then import it, it'll be double wrapped. 
- 
 And Making a Component creates a new context menu on the Right Click Menu! 
 "Save As" (+ "Reload" + "Detach")
 So more speed than the menu "File Save as" !

 I've just spent one hour asking myself why I could not copy-paste from an old SKP file to a new SKP file with a newly imported AutoCAD drawing. I run SketchUp's checkup, GPU-Z, Repaired SketchUp, reinstalled SketchUp... Nothing. Until I remembered these guys send me the AutoCAD drawings in milimeters instead of meters, but I imported it as meters... So the new drawing was gigantic and anything I copy-pasted from the old file was just too tiny to be seen. 
- 
 Why not use the "Zoom Extended" in a new file ?

 Today Penny has Dropped: 
 XnView is way better BP2 library explorer then a built-in one.
 As well I use XnView as Component explorer for years now. Excellent with 2nd disply + drag'n'drop.

 And I surrely missed it on the manual! You probably missed this, too. If you want to place the same radius on other corners, double click near them.

 Very cool!    
 I suppose I am not the only one!

 I don't know if this is a new feature but I was pleasantly surprised to learn about it: In the 3dWarehouse, select a model, look at the statistics in the panel on the right, if you hover / click on a tag (materials/components) you can import just one of those elements instead of the whole model. 
 Great feature if you just need 1 material of 1 element from a collection.
