      The main problem I can see with this, is that you won't be able to see any rendering you have done, as everything will look blue and red.

      Not really. All works and looks normal in draw or edit mode and glasses off. Then put on the glasses and click for 3D Visualization. Only then will the screen contain red and green lines, unintelligible to someone not wearing glasses.

      I agree rendered textures and many colors would be crappola, but this is only to see the object in 3D, especially a complex shape. It is not really meant to be a presentation mode. Probably the 3D Vis should be in black & white for clarity.

        You ARE missing something here. I use the ability to assign multiple objects (groups or comps) to separate layers all within a grouping on a top level. That way I can control the visibility of any one object, or ALL the objects at once by turning on/off any specific layer. As long as all the raw geometry of any object remains on layer 0, this is an effective tool.

        I half agree with you, but you are obviously coming from a place, where you have worked out a strategy of coping with the existing layers. This may work for you, and it may work for me too, but I need to study it a little more to fully grasp what you are doing, and I haven't really got enough time for that at the moment.

        I think it's probably best just to keep grouping stuff in layer 0 and take it from there- which is what I tend to do anyway. πŸ˜„

          To be honest, I'd rather scale down a model, and get it rapid prototyped. There's nothing like holding an actual model. There's the RepRap, that fabulous replicating RPP designed by a bunch of uber-nerds from Bath University here in the UK. 500UKP only πŸ˜„

              Cool, Sketchup 9 is coming? I'm ready.

              My wish list:

              1. Built-in 3D Game creator "Creating 3d games with Sketchup free".
              2. More new Function "Joint Push-Pull on a curved surface ETC..".

                          That's a neat place, Joel.

                          Mine is a bit similar (maybe more cigarette ash piled up everywhere) and I thought my girlfriend / fiancΓ© would be understanding.

                          But ever since I got married (like two weeks ago), she has been vacuuuming all around.

                          What gives? πŸ˜’

                            Vacuuming off the dust ruins my filing system as the thickness gives chronological order to the stacks of paper.
                            At first I thought the picture was of my desk... then I realized we could still see the keyboard!
                            I also have a large pile of scrap paper to my left - useful for notes and very 'green' BUT it grows faster than I can scribble... πŸ˜’

                                  As for my "filing system" its called stacks.
                                  I know exactly which stack anything is in..... I just don't know how deep it is.

                                  I keep everything. No BS here. On the far right, first shelf that you can barely see are boxes of 5inch floppies from my old Radio-Shack TRS-80 (circa 1978). I can't throw them out because I can't reach them, without moving 1/2 my office, and I have no place to put what I need to move out of the way. 🀣

                                  And yes, I still have that machine as well. It won't work because the connectors are corroded.
                                  In fact 6 weeks ago, I actually discarded its' old 110baud phone-line modem, that was in my way when I "cleaned up" my other workshop bench when the battle axe bitched about the "mess".

                                  I still have the expanded 1.2mb memory cards from the old IBM PC that replaced it in 1984.
                                  And my old 486 motherboard, and my old complete SCSI computer, also dead.

                                  If the wife reads this, I'm dead. πŸ‘Š

                                        To quote an old English punny joke...[you need to hear the words]
                                        When a bride enters the church she sees the processional route and she thinks 'aisle'...
                                        Then she sees the sanctuary at the end and she thinks 'altar'...
                                        Then she hears the signing and she thinks 'hymn'...

                                        Somehow in the confusion of the ceremony this gets muddled in her head and later on it comes out,

                                        "I'll alter him!"
