Thanks Dave, I'll take a look.

Hi folks. Ok so I've just downloaded the CutList plugin and I'm hoping to use it on a model I've already created. Does anyone know if this is possible? It seems each part of the model needs to made into an component before it can be read correctly by CutList. Does anyone know of a way to break down my existing models into parts that I can make into components? It feels as if this could be a very time consuming project and might almost be worth starting again... unless one you you geniuses can save me!

Many thanks,
Gus

Ok, fantastic... thank you. That was the first time I realized you could actually share the files. On that note I was wondering if it is possible to share those files between PC and Mac? For example I was hoping to install my pro version on my boss' Mac and be able to send him .skp files for him to do walkthroughs with clients. Is this possible?

Cheers

Oh I see. I didn't know you could share the models like that... Very new to this! Happy to share an skp but like I say it seems to have done the job...

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I did reverse faces and it looks right now. Not sure what an SKP file is...

Hi, I'm finding when I delete unwanted lines from planes where I've made adjustments the panel will go a different colour, like a kind of grey. Sometimes the panel doesn't act the same as it did before, causing me to have to rebuild models in some cases. Can anyone offer me any clarity on why this happens and a way around this please?

Hope this makes sense!
Cheers
Gus

Thank you TIG, this was VERY helpful!

Cheers

Yeah, you're right, I've been getting some really good help so far.

Cheers

You think it'll be ok? Sorry I'm totally new to this. It is acting strange when I try to box off certain sections the whole thing fills in... I'm not making any sense am I?!

Hi folks,

Ok, so I'm very new to all this. I've just purchased SketchupPro and a Premium account with SketchUcation. I'm a carpenter and my boss want me to learn this stuff so I can do his designs for him. Has anyone got any tips for me to get the most from the software and forum, ie. useful plugins and whatnot?

Many thanks in advance,
Gus
