If you create biscuit or domino components and wish to add centering marks on the component to make it easy to correctly place them, how do you do so without triggering errors when verifying solids? Bool tools and Solid inspector see these as just extraneous lines and delete them.

Thanks

Confusing that it was necessary to point to the components folder (that Sketchup created and saved the drawings to by default, but this solved my problem.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I purchased both the basic and advanced DVD's and appreciate all the useful tips and techniques. That said, I bought these because I have been using Sketchup intermittently for years to support my woodworking projects and I may have developed some bad habits. For example I have been drawing on different active layers which could be for room 1, room 2, dims etc. I'm annoyed when elements behave strangely when another layer is made visible or not and I read in another post that best practice is to draw EVERYTHING on layer 0 and then assign to layers after the fact. Can you kindly direct me to any posts you have authored that talk about general best practices for trouble free drawing. Even better would be some explanation of the weird behaviors that happen. I use Make 2017 because, again, I am an intermittent user and I hate subscription based software.

Thanks for your contributions to the woodworking community and for any advice on this topic.

Don
