      Another way is to open the Components Menu / Shapes and select a 1/2 sphere. Too easy perhaps, but still an option.

              There is the scale tool. Select everything then the scale tool and start pulling one of the green "buttons".
              While doing so, Shift key will toggle between uniform/non-uniform scale, Ctrl key will toggle between scaling about opposite point / centre.

                  I'm a few days into sketchup so bear with me πŸ˜„,

                  How do you create 2/3 spheres? I'm trying to put a doorway into a thick walled ball and don't know how to erase/divide up a sphere.

                  Also, in the welcoming message here there's a link for a semisphere tutorial that is 404'ed.

                      Well, Guite's examples may serve your needs. I do understand them so if there's any problem with them just tell us, please.

                      About the 404 error ("not found") - we had some problems with loosing some content so sorry for that. We'll try to replace it.

                        thanks. the intersect tool was what I needed to lop of the bottom of a sphere. Now to create a crust on the ball...

                          I don't know of a "crust" ruby. πŸ˜‰ But you've sure got me curious.
