HAHAHA! I watch watch crazy mofo's make a fool out of themselves! It's great!

Thank you both for taking the time to answer..Tom, you suggestion worked perfect.. Richard

Are you importing models via the File > Import > 3D menu? Also it is possible to open the file you want to import, copy the geometry, switch back and go to Edit > Paste in place. This is very helpful if you want to insert objects into the same place (to tell the truth, I never use the real import menu in my workflow but it should work like inserting any component: "stuck" to your cursor and you can place it with a click).

Thanks for taking the time to help Gaieus...I thought that was the one also but its not..I went al picked up a copy of national street standards which has them all...Thank you

RBS files work as RB files. They are Secured or Scrambled by the author but SketchUp can still read them. There should be no reason to change the extension. Which plugins did you download? Knowing that will help us get you going with them.

I model in perspective, with textures turned on. Occassionally I will temporarily switch to ortho mode or x-ray when selecting, but always revert back to perspective.

380, Here's what I recall, mostly accurate I think. You need to have a usenet newsreader and access to a news server. A web browser, such as IE or Firefox, does not read the network news transfer protocol (NNTP), but either hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or file transfer protocol (FTP). Outlook Express has a news client, but Outlook does not. The Thunderbird e-mail client (companion to Mozilla Firefox) also has a built-in news client. Forte Agent is a well known stand-alone news reader. It's predecessor, Free Agent (which was free) is apparently defunct. News servers provide access to news groups, generally by downloading the contents of some horrendous number of individual newsgroup hosts on a periodic basis. Many (used to be most) ISPs have or provide access to a news server. There are a number of free news servers out there, which tend to be short-lived. -Gully Edit: Incidentally, and perhaps ironically, Google Groups (which many on this forum consider too icky for their refined sensibilities) provides web-based access to a huge number of internet usenet newsgroups and maintains an archive of their contents (which it acquired from the one-time internet giant Deja View) going back to the mid 90s, and if you don't have a newsreader and a news server, it's a reasonable alternative. poster-Gully Foyle

Not with me for sure (or who remembers...)

Hi, I have the same problem as Dave. I have already tried everything.I also studied the manual again and again. If i select one or two lines, nothing happens. I do not get it to work. If i use a Panel Component, named PA as described in the manual i get the message: (See Image below). The version is : 1.1 & 1.2. - November 2005. I think this is the actual version. Karlheinz SU 7.1 Win 7 64-bit [image: AoIl_Bild1.jpg]

would love to see some examples of this . . .

Welcome Chris and Thank you...I look at it like this..In the end, there will be either GOOD news or me maxing out my credit cards...

Yes, that's a serious risk for inventors. There've been so many before you. The safest way to get a patent is: -put your name on the mailing list of all small silicon chip developing companies -order all their newest chipset samples and development kits -order the best PCB design and simulation software plus the latest prototyping machines -hire the best firmware writers you can get -design housing and packaging for your newly developed devices at home, late at night on the coffee table using Sketchup of course -launch your products worldwide using the services of the best advertising agencies, the best marketing bureaus and the best distributing networks price tag at least 10x the production cost. But take care to flood the market, deluge, tsunami, grab the moment. -last but not least, have a team of the best lawyers to sue anyone who hits the market with a similar product. poster-Maggy

James, are those the ones from the source above?

If you set the appropriate face of the knob component to glue to a vertical plabe, it won't go into the door but rather sticks to its surface (if it is a component, you need to be within its context).

monsterzero> A dbl side by side old stage coach shotgun is what Im trying to make..What are you going to make? Thanks for the video..You should know that it would help to be on speed to watch it, it's so fast..

To everybody...Thank you for your thoughs and concerns..You know it's funny but talking about this with you all has eased some of the worry..It was being in the darkness, alone, trying to deal with this ordeal that was the worse part..You people have proven that you are true professionals in many ways..I guess I was just ment to post this here...
