TIG:

Thanks for the feedback. I looked at all, as best I can, but do not find anything wrong. Everything had been working fine then all of a sudden things changed. FORTUNATELY, I had a backup and upon restore all was fixed and no further problems currently exist.

broomstick:

I tried “zoom extends but it did not solve my problem by itself but in conjunction with what Gaieus said read the solution is there.

Dave and Gaieus:

“Update Scene” solved the problem. I will never forget!

Gaieus:

As always, thanks a lot! In regards to #1 I think I did something and I have no idea what it could have been and I cannot find the specific cause. I think you identified the probable cause. Restore from backup solved the problem.

ALAN,
As a result of your help I got my pattern on the 3DWH plates etc.
Thanks!

The number 600 million were counts of unique activations of the Google Earth program. And are accurate. I believe those are global numbers.

Between home and work I have 3 computers with google earth on and each of them has had GE installed at least twice (as a result of reformating the HD) so I alone take up 6 of that 600 million. I should imagine I am far from the only one.

Great that you found the source, olishea... 😄
Thanks for sharing the link and thanks to Stu for making these... 👍

I was just glad to discover that it was not something I caused. I have an incredible talent for hitting the wrong button or putting an inappropriate check in a box related to something and causing bizzare things to happen which require hours of mental anguish to get fixed. I posted back so others like me(if there are any)who might experience the same would just move on without suffering.

Thanks Chris,
That did it!

Gaieus and remus,

Thanks for responding! I found the problem to be my newbie failure to recognize the importance of Groups and Componets and to use them.

Hi! Newbie here!
I been testing TS 7.6 few days now. I think it is a great tool for animating things, UI is pretty "complicated". Lots of tutorials though. Older versions like 5 were good for beginners...

Hi Blai,

Sang is a simple, 2D, so called "face me" component. If you delete it from your model (and also "Purge" it) and replace it with anything (let it be another face me component or a 3D one - even a car or a bush), you can save this file as a template under the File menu.

Then go to Window > Preferences > Templates, you can choose your newly created template to load any time you start SU.
