you should have a group hug

You mean a component hug, right?

Rich O Brien

no, if components hug you get a scaling issue

Groups, components or unique's doesn't matter! If you lot get close enough to be hugging there will be dubious 'plugin' accusations. As Rich says, there is a front door and a back passage...........

Everyone know that deep down, groups and components are the same.

It's been a love/hate project I've tackled on and off when I had time.

So to finally draw a line under it is great.

Now to see what happens next....

Who said that?

jiminy-billy-bob

Nobody, I'm just wondering

Rich O Brien

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

jiminy-billy-bob

You're not coming?

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!

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" !
