        Hmm I don't have a little eraser...just "report this post"

        Either way...I installed the smartdrop plugin but I can't find it in sketchup.

        the little eraser is only there as long as your post is the very last one, when someone posts after you its gone.

        smartdrop and drop will appear in the right click menu near the bottom. drop and smartdrop only appear and work if you have a group or component selected. they won't work just on faces.

            first of all, i can't imagine how that's a building. ๐Ÿ˜† but anyways; smartdrop and drop both need something to drop onto such as a face. but they will not rotate your shapes for you.

              Well all the faces are unfolded already that's why it doesn't look like anything... ๐Ÿ˜„

              ok so I figured out how to drop them to the same y plane. Now I just have to rotate them to all be on the same x plane. Thanks sooo much for the help

                      Thanks for the pic tutorial. I'll get pictures of the model up when it's done...even though it's not even a final model. How I love being an architecture student.
