Outliner has some real power behind it, particularly when it comes to big models, and managing groups and components, which you can view in hierarchy, relocate within that hierarchy, Filter, select and delete. I think it is one of the gems of SketchUp that a lot of folks don't take advantage of.

A few clicks and the "thanks" is on it's way. [image: food-smiley-005.gif] And a verbal thanks too Chris.

Jean, thanks for the suggestions, I had looked at it that way already but I'm really wanting to be able to work with one file. The size may be prohibitive but I'll get to that eventually. Chris, Namesets looks very good, I've had a little play with it with my morning coffee. I'll delve into it further later and I'm sure I will have some questions for you.

@box said: I know there is the sketchup viewer which you can get people to download and install, but is there a way to make a self viewable file? I'm thinking an emailable version for smaller stuff and something on a CD for larger projects. Eventually I would like to produce a model of a cruise ship and be able to tour through it without having to install any software. eDrawing for Sketchup works great, sends as zip or exe; rotate, zoom bla bla; Is 99 dollars but I received free version somehow on't remember how or where. http://edrawings.geometricglobal.com/Downloads/eDrawings+for+SketchUp/index.aspx

A free Autotrace "online" So you can use any Tif, JPG, PNP etc images and export as DXF for example (if you have always free Google Sketchup 6

Stunning.
