Works nicely. Thank you.

Dimension Lines won't "stick"
Can one get a dimension line to stick to a round object - for example, a pipe? Can one use a dimension line to measure the length of a pipe?

Trim a Bitmap?
I have a bitmap, png, of a fruit without a background. when it's imported into SU it has a white background and interferes with the image. Can one Trim a Bitmap?

RE: Toggle between tools?
JGA, perhaps because it has to be *.rbz and not *.rb

RE: Soften lines
It seems that one may not soften all of the lines at once - interior faces, border edges, perimeter edges [one face] or those edges with more that two faces, etc.
Post factum, in order to export a 2D Graphic image (jpg or tiff), without the unwanted black lines: One may export the image twice, once with the edges on and another one with the edges off.
- View/Edge Style/Edges (on) Export jpg
- View/Edge Style/Edges (off) Export jpg
- Then use a photo editing program to crop, cut, and paste the parts of the image one wants with lines to the parts of the image that one doesn't want with lines.

RE: Toggle between tools?
May we petition Trimble to include this basic feature?

Toggle between tools?
May one easily toggle between tools?
In other programs, for example, if one is using the "line tool" one may press on the space bar and the tool goes back to the "select tool". He may press on the space bar again and the tool goes back to the "line tool".

Dimension Tool
Can one change the default settings for the Dimension Tool? One can change for each file via Window/Model Info. Can one change the settings for all of his new models?

RE: Can one use the orbit tool with precision?
Thank you Dave R and Box.
In Coreldraw, one may constrain the vertical or horizontal movement by pressing Ctrl and dragging the mouse. Now, I realize that it's not really possible in SU. Though, one may approximate it if he has a very steady hand and by using the axis.

RE: Orbit about a specific axis
@remus said:
you could always just hold ctrl while your orbiting, this will turn of the 'turntable' effect you usually get.
Holding control while rotating should constrain the rotation?

My first gif shows me simply using orbit with the the middle mouse button. No tricks or fancy hardware. Just click and drag horizontally.
?Just click the left button,the right button, or the middle button?
When I click using the middle button, it is not constrained. I can't keep the blue axis line at 12:00 6:00. I have a new mouse.

I guess it'll be two years again for the next installment.
Box, I got a new mouse. The middle button works, but I can't orbit precisely.

Shadows cast below the ground
How may one fix a model so that the shadows don't cast below the ground? The model/object is exactly at the point where the red/blue/green axes meet, yet the shadow is cast below the ground.
Solved my own problem.
Somehow, the axes moved above their original position. Right clicked one axis/reset. -
RE: Blend Objects
@pilou said:
Maybe also something like a "morphing" thing?
A cube becomes a pyramid in a number of step wanted!
(rotate included at some places if wished too with a twisted curve)Or this ?
(with 2D +Path by Kirill2008 )
pilou, thanks for responding. I saw the instructions that you attached. I selected all, right clicked, and ... nothing happened.If I right click, shouldn't there be some kind of option to morphing?

Blend Objects
Can one "blend" objects in a manner similar to CorelDraw (or Illustrator [I'm sorry, I don't know the term to use in SU.])?
If one ctrl key an object, moves it to a different position, and /#. It repeats the duplication # times. Is it possible to rotate the copied object and in between rotate all of the in between objects until they reach the copied object?

Delete Redundant Objects
Can one delete redundant objects easily, without having to search inside each component to find them?

RE: Soften lines
toalha+de+mesa+mesa2.skpPlease see attached file. Does one have to click on each line to soften it?

RE: Soften lines
@dave r said:
Yes. Triple click on it to select all of the geometry. Then right click on it and choose Soften/Smooth Edges.
You don't need to right click on the geometry if the Soften/Smooth window is already open.

Click on the picture.Why don't all of the lines soften - even at 180?
