If you turn off Profiles in the Styles Edit tab and hide any remaining visible edges in the riprap objects, you should get that sort of thing. You'll have to open the groups/components and select just the edges to hide. Something like Selection Toys can make that easier. Not exactly riprap but I hid the edges of just the screw threads here.

Excellent. Thanks again!

Yep, saw that. Just pointing out that the higher end multi-core ones ARE the ones with the best single thread scores.

Fair enough. Does anyone know what the difference is between the Vray tools incorporated into the Sketchup Studio version vs. just buying Vray separately?

If you're making progress your learning 👍

Isolate geometry into groups/components to make editing easier. Tag[Layer for the OGs] items to help organisation and visibility.

Outliner is your friend if you stay organised and name things with some type of convention you can glance at.

The most important key press in SketchUp is CTRL+S and 2nd most important is F1. Use both frequently.

Dave's advice applies to CAD work in general. Setting up the file the way YOU want it from the start allows you to take of advantage of templates, other personalized digital materials and organization, and, particularly, the workflow that you've developed over the years. That's perhaps the greatest value and time saving in this sort of work. Compared to ready-made geometry, it pays off in the end.
