@unknownuser said: Depending how are your segments of spiral if then don't touch any other a simple double click is sufficient Else look at Selection Toys by Thomthom if each segment of the spiral is similar take look at select line by length by Chris Fullmer hi, yes , the thomthom - tool in quadfacetool does exactly , what i needen now. the next search is an intelligent "follow-path" tool, i will start another topic for that thank you very much! stan

a 2d elipse or circle like you said int he first post is a VERY different beast than a 3d shape. Please try to not leave out important details like that There are scripts that will subdivide 3d shapes like artisan or subdivideandsmooth. You could try those. Subdivide - Free http://www.smustard.com/script/Subdivide Loop Subdivision - Free http://www.guitar-list.com/download-software/sketchup-loop-subdivision-smooth-plugin Subdivide and Smooth - $15 http://www.smustard.com/script/SubdivideAndSmooth Artisan - $29 on sale right now http://artisan4sketchup.com/ Though frankly, I'm not sure that subdivision will automagically make your model better. But it might be worth trying! Chris

hi, thanx a lot, i used this method for a long time, until i found a great script (ruby) exporting only active scenes (scene setting > video on) and giving the jpg's it's scene-name ( very helpfull with 200 different views printed etc. for some sorting etc.) but right today i found this problem with the fixed text (which is helpfull for sinple logo-infos) not working in this script somehow. anyway, we keep on looking for a way.. thank you regards stan
