A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members

Thanks Gaieus, Your suggestion works great. I have tried it several times and it completely solves my problem of having different instances of components on different layers disappearing.

Hello Sketchers!
Just started using Sketchup 7 to create models of an invention I've dreamed up. I needed an easy way to create drawings for injection model makers to understand what I'm trying to achieve. It's been a huge time saver and perfect for designing prototypes. I've been amazed at what I can create with my limited knowledge. Really easy to get started.

Before I was creating models out of clay. And since I have no artistic ability that was a serious waste of clay. Now I can work out a design and make a prototype on a wood lathe.

I've been going through the "DUH!" thread and find some great tips. Well off to the woodshop.

Hi Wheezy and welcome!

From the "DUH" thread, you can see that SU has its depths and even experienced users can learn something every day. Yet you are right; SU is great because even beginners can easily achieve success and thus be encouraged to go further.

Hello

My name is Kristijan, I'm 11, and I am from Croatia, I was started to work about 1 year ago, hope I will enjoy here.

Sorry for my English.

Gaieus

Zdravo Kristijan,

(and in English, as my Croatian is a bit rusty), welcome to SCF! I actually know there's a similarly young person who is a member here from Croatia (Dubrovnik).

Looking forward to seeing your models!

Hi!

Im John, but everyone calls me vash. Since the first time ive heard about sketchup from a friend, ive been curious on how flexible and easy it is to use.

Im an interior designer, and part of my duties are making models of interiors which is hard to do especially from other 3d software.

But as a start, here is one minor problem i wish to get removed.

As you can see, its hard for me to work with this dark edges showing, although ive tried everything under View *menu bar(tuned off and on almost all command there), nothings seems to remove them.

If possible, I wish to see clean corners and joints. Need help, thank you!

Hello vash

To get rid of those endpoints, go window->styles->edit then deselect endpoints. Its worth deselecting profiles while your at it, as they slow performance slightly and dont look particularly nice.

Hi Afaque and welcome.

Here is the plugin (attached at the bottom of the first post):
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=144180#p144180

Note that in order to use it, you'll also need to install this plugin:
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17947#p144178

Both have folders and rb files inside; everything should go unchanged (i.e. keeping folder structure and all) directly under the Plugins folder.
