      I downloaded Sketchup 2013, and that fixed it. I hate that Slicer5 does a better job, but I have already paid for SliceModeler v1.4, although I cannot seem to find the download link for it. I have been playing around with version 1.3. Thanks for your help.

      I watched this video on youtube of Chronolux 1.2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE6Zc5jqhbc It was so close to what I wanted that it made me laugh in a "did they just read my mind?" kind of way. The different colors, and the example with a contour looking map made my eyes pop! Thank you Chris for pointing me towards this plugin. I really could not have asked for a better answer.

      Does this plugin maintain the original dimensions of the object being draped? I am trying to determine the amount of material I would need to vacuum form plastic over an object. Thank you for the advice.

      Hey cody, You can simplify the formula for the upright rack Copies attribute to: Copies: =rack!NumberOfRacks - 1 Same, with the Crossbeam Components: Copies: =rack!NumberOfRacks - 1 I don't have a good answer to what is broken; I would guess it has something to do with decimal rounding of the Copies attribute.

      Thank you Gaieus. The Shift + Eraser Tool trick helped to hide most of it.

      Open Entity Info and select the curves and any other segments in the path. The length will be displayed there.

      Hi Babycody, While that is a nicely modelled shelves, I have to say it is not modelled efficiently at all. The whole thing should have made up of smaller components instead of this raw geometry. Anyway, based on the model ("as is" - since I could have found a more logical way of dividing the vertical rack)), I identified a piece that is repetitive in the racks and turned it into a component (Import it into your existing model from File > Import otherwise it will just open as a simple skp file). Since it is 3" high, all you need to do is to add 16 instances of it on top of each other. This can be done easily with a linear array. If I were you, I would just rebuild the whole thing using these pieces instead of adding though. The same amount of work actually. This would reduce file size big time. Of course, you will need to hide the visible seams at the end (I have already hidden the bottom face and its bounding edges so you should only do it with the top face/edges and put a "cap" on the very top). Turn on hidden geometry (View menu) to be able to work (snap to etc.) to these hidden parts. [image: QnPe_Piece.png] Piece.skp

      Perhaps if you posted the SKP we could comment more constructively... Sadly thomthom's SolidInspector2 and my own SolidSolver can't perform miracles, just fix schoolboy errors... There's a limit to every algorithm.
