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

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp ๐Ÿ“–

            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.

                  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!!

                      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" ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          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.

                              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.

                                    You probably missed this, too. If you want to place the same radius on other corners, double click near them.
                                    Click on pic if it doesn't move.

                                        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.
