yep. got it now
makes sense

thanks man

i was doing something foolishly wrong.
i hadnt selected the move tool. i had just selected the PICK/Select tool and was expecting the edges to highlight.
But they only highlight while using move tool.
Also you are right about highlight color being changed in recent versions. earlier it was yellow and now its blue

thanks for the help

Hi everyone

I am new to sketchup and going through go2school training videos.
They are using skp 5 for the tutorials but i have sketchup7 on my PC.
so some things are missing or not matching my version. one main thing is that edges are not highlighting in yellow while hovering over them. It makies selection easier but its not highlighting in skp 7

Why is that?

any setting to be changes to see them highlight

Thanks

Hi everyone

best wishes to all. my first post here.

I am a 3dsmax user but recently found sketchup to be better for faster modelling and especially architectural.
i want to know is there any tool like connect tool of 3dsmax where u can connect 2 edges with multiple segments.

I am basically trying to model grooves in a wall for which i need multiple edges along that wall which i can offset and then extrude back.

any other sketchup way to do this?

thanks
