First, thank you for posting the utility - getting this to work will save us so much time.

My STL file is not importing properly. I get the prompt to specify scale then a jumbled version of what I am importing. See image below.

I am using Sketchup 7.0. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

Joe ... that is exactly the tutorial I found last weekend.

Thank you for the link and thank you for taking the time to put the tutorial together.

You've made my day.

Just before my wife closed my browser I had found a fantastic deck building tutorial.

What I am interested in most is how to copy and array out posts, joists and balusters.

In this lost tutorial it illustrated how to draw 5 posts spaced evenly across a certain distance, how to draw one joist and have it array out 16"/24" on center and how to array out balusters on 4"/6" centers between two posts.

As you can imagine doing this manually takes me allot of time.

Can any of you point me in a direction of a tutorial that might help me learn how to perform these functions in SU? I am a dock builder, any other tutorials that may prove useful to my trade are welcome too.

Thank you in advance.

Been lurking and learning here for a few days. My name is Casey, I am an estimator for a boat dock company in South Carolina. I have just recently been learning how to use Sketchup and absolutely love it. Thank you for all for the time you take to contribute here.

I have a dock design I am working on. Our customer wants 1-1/2" Nylon rope (two separate runs, one on top of the other) run between the 6" x 6" posts supporting his stationary dock. I've worked at it for at least an hour and cannot seem to get anything to work. I have included an example including the rope I found in the library. We traditionally run the rope through the 6" x 6", if possible I need to make it appear this way as well.

Any help or direction would really help me.
