Nope.

At the moment I can't get sketchup to work above crawling speed as soon as import an image to trace. This is despite cropping the shite out of the scanned image and pulling the resolution right down to the lowest setting.

Have you ever "purged unused"

Window....Model info.....Statistics.....Purge Unused button is at the bottom of the window.

Unused images can really Bog things down for you.

Best,

I added some meaningless lines (unconnected to the model), hit purge unused and it did nowt. This was with the model fully selected as well. Tried this three times.

Also, still can't attach a drawing to this thing, 'browse' has nothing in it, and you can't type b*gger all in the box!

Can't for the life of me 'lathe' a 12 sided circle either. Not a good SU day!

I couldn't get 'purge unused' to do anything! BTW, is there a quick way of removing unwanted construction lines from a model? After I've done a few 'follow me's and intersections I seem to be spending hours going in and 'pin-boning'/filleting out thousands of lines. Takes ages

Also, how do you DE-select unwanted lines/faces from an area you have clicked and dragged out for, say, re-scaling?

Use the Select pointer/tool but hold both SHIFT and CTRL keys down as you click on unwanted lines or objects. Using only CTRL adds items to selection set, just SHIFT toggles items in selection set.

Many thanks, jgb. Don't suppose you can help with the 'filleting' question?
