Mover has a feature where it will move an object by an amount determined by the objects size if the DIST amount is zero or blank. It works since the plugin only supports moving one thing at a time. If I wanted to move multiple selected objects, this feature becomes less useful (if it was useful to begin with.)

I wanted to know of anyone uses this feature, and if anyone would be unhappy if I removed it in favor of adding the ability to move multiple selected objects?

I find this to be usefull as GIdon, regarding the multiple copy will it be possible to copy in in x,y,z at the same time as in autocad, rows colums and levels? this would be very very usefull. Thank you for all your great work on this.

Very nice, thanks.

I like it!

Real nice.

It reminds me of how the downstairs used to look at my dad's house. We had the parkay floor and the wood bar. Complete with brass rail and "mood" lighting above the bar.

Nice tip Phil.

I knew this technique but hadn't seen those videos yet (there's a bunch of really cool ones). I think after this transfer I'll start putting a "help links post" in the newbie forum. These come in really handy.

As for Eric's tutorial - it scrambles up my toolbars, too.

Odd, maybe his computer doesnt play nice with others.

Or maybe your computers are not as accepting as they should be. Ever thought of that

Seriously, I have never had anybody's tut mess up my toolbars. You must have your Sketchup in "Restore Down" mode rather than full screen. When you open a new instance, I.E. a tutorial, it can mess up the toolbars. Another reason for a locking toolbar update! I think I have been on that soapbox for years now.

When you say "select all", do you mean go to the edit pull-down menu and click on "select all"? Then I have to right-click on something to get the "intersect with model" option, and it's unclear where I should click, or if that matters. But nothing happens when I do that.

Can you explain what step 6 is for? Once I click on that face, I get an extrusion as soon as I move my mouse to do something else, and the extrusion comes forward or backwards, depending on which direction I move the cursor-- ie, to go up to the edit pull-down menu.

Maybe I'm just being slow, but it seems like there are some steps missing between 6 and 7.

Sometimes I explain things assuming everybody knows what I do sorry.
It seems if you are getting an extrusion you still have the follow me tool selected.
Make sure you have your select tool. Then triple click on the roof. Click three times fast. This will select all the geometry that is connecting, I.E. select all.

• Or, you can window around all the geometry, hence selecting all. -

Then right click on one of the faces or lines that is now selected. You will see the intersect option. Use intersect with model.
Sorry again for the vague directions.
I hope this helps.

Very nice indeed.

Cheers

Again, nice stuff. Got them both saved.

Really nice, thanks for sharing.

Ron, you are on fire

How'd I miss this one. Nice table. Very simple, and I assume that is a leaf in the center?

Another nice one, thanks

Yes, I have more constructive things to do... (looks off to the distance)

The Pouf's are nothing without the girl... Post The Girl Man!

Very nice Gaieus

I thought that reminded me of "The Ace of Spades".
