looks great Dave.

the plugins are great but don't get in the habit of relying on plugins to fix sloppy modeling. 😉

No. Why?

A possible solution would be to rotate a child component that has the texture applied.

Unless the components are not that big, I doubt is anything wrong with any of them !
Sketchup is not a big performance eater (it works only on one cpu and not more than 3gb ram) .Sketchup is also known for his slowness regarding copying big stuff ( http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=47739 ) .

There are some kind of performance tests here( http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=20076 ). I don't exactly know how accurate they might be !

Hope you can figure it out somehow !

That's strange because mine works well. I suppose I didn't upload the right one. Don't know, so the joined one works well, I verified "H Porte" as you said and other parameters.
And in fact, according to my tests, changing origin can make the things not working if you change origin after having writen the formulas but if you do it before, there is no problem.
All positions or rotations modifications are done relatively to the origin so, it's position shouldn't be important.

Probably just my older machine (2.6 ghz dual core) even though the rendering of SU is only on one thread.....

I tend to cut out any unnecessary geometry in my SP models but if you have the firepower to run it then no problem - again, nice work

Oups, I found the button!!!!

I clicked on the SCALE button in Cotation Style Tab and it works!

Click SCALE button for dimensions working correctly

When making gears the secret is making sure each joint is grouped with an object (not the same object) before using ctrl-click to make the gear connection. If each joint is not associated with its own grouped object the gear pop-up window will not appear. One you have made the connection, use the UI to inspect the first joint and the gear ratio parameter can then be changed in the UI.

Ok, seems to be obtained by increasing both Damp and Acceleration.

At this point it's not possible to do it directly, the entity name is just for show.

SP has it's internal names in entity attributes so the ID's stay the same and it wont come to overlapping or missing connections.
But if you really want to rename them then get Attribute Manager plugin for SU, and then edit the joint names with it.

That is just a glitch...Chris hasn't made the change in the logline yet.

Enjoy
