Thanks CHARLIE__V, now it is clear. It is the best way... (Strange, these errors in the resulting patterns - but I can live with it...)

RE: Crop a group by the contours of an area
Thank you CHARLIE__V for your idea. What I do not understand: I installed the Hatch Faces plugin (V1.8) and I can now successfully hatch faces - but I do not understand how to select "brick" hatch and how to orient it. Could you make some screenshots ore point me to somewhere I can see what you mean?

RE: Crop a group by the contours of an area
Thank you Dave; Well, that is the way I performed it for the screen shots. But however, this is not very handy. I thought that there is an easier way like intersect two groups or something like that.

Crop a group by the contours of an area
Dear all
I have a group of areas:
Then I have an area:
How can I crop the group to fit into the area to get this:
I am drawing a floor plan of our new footway tho show to the gardener, how exactly he should put the stones: (the red / yellow areas should be filled with the pattern (in different angles and different sizes).
Since this filling pattern needs to have an exact size (each stone needs to be exactly drawn in the right size), I think that I cannot use a material to fill the area (because this would be an image, on which I can not influence exactly the size, angle, position...)
Does anybody have a solution for that?
Thanks in advance,- Adrian

RE: Define Segment Length of an Arc
Incredible - for all a plugin and such fast answer...
Thank you very much, it is exactly what I was looking for... -
Define Segment Length of an Arc
Dear All
I am looking for a possibility to enter the length of the segements in an Arc instead of the number.
If we draw an Arc, we can enter e.g. 20s to get 20 segments. But I like to have segments with exactly 1m length (the last segment will probably shorter, if it does not fit exactly).
Is this not possible? Or is there a work around?Thanks in advance!

RE: Build a path with a given rise
Thank you all for your hints. I will try them.
Currently, I have problems installing SplitSausage plugin; even though I downloaded TIG-splitTOOLS-20120219a.rbz and installed it, I have no toolbar; I also tried TIG-splitTOOLS-20120219a.zip and copied it to the plugins folder. After restarting Sketchup 8, nothing has been changed; no toolbar in View->Toolsbars...
Well; I will try to get it or will try another way...- Adrian

Dear all,
I have again a question. I am still drawing on my house...
now, the new stone path needs to be inserted with a given rise:The red part should go linearly down to the gateway of the garage.
How can I do that?The drawing:

RE: How to draw surrounding area of house
Ah, OK, that it is. Instead of Push/Pull to go back to the face, I can use Move and the down arrow. That is what I was looking for.
Once more: thanks a lot! -
RE: How to draw surrounding area of house
Well, pressing Ctrl will keep the whole original body instead of just leaving the face.
