@TIG No caso para geometrias como cubos colidindo com pontos teria uma forma mais simples de tratar tais colisões? No caso eu estou usando um exemplo de duas peças de madeira e o parafuso está agrupado em "Kit parafusos" como entenderia sua posição global, já usei as transformações sem êxito. Para colisões com agrupamento no mesmo nível consegui mais quando o meu elemento de usinagem está em outras camadas não consigo obter o boundBox global.

Point taken - will do!

Remember, when you are looking at the Raster-rendered viewports on screen, you are probably using less than the maximum quality rendering. When you export to PDF, you can export at the high quality setting. Another thing to consider is stacking viewports for the same scene. You can render the top one as Vector and leave the bottom one as Raster. That will give you a combination of vector edges with only the back edges displayed as raster and it will allow you to maintain the dynamic link from the scenes so changes will show up automatically (as long as you don't make them modified in LO). don't stack the viewports on the same layer. Rather use two layers with the upper layer showing the vector rendered viewports.

For my house models I usually get all the views as Dave says, using layers to hide items (and sometimes the hide function) in a scene to get the different elevations or portions of the project. But it sounded like you were really having trouble zeroing down on your components so the the "save" function came to mind. I use that sometimes to put the house in a separate file to work just on the house (or other buildings,like detached garage), which may also exist in a combined site file with the terrain and other site elements. then your axis for that model can be independent of the site and other views can be saved in that file.

OK I kept typing pan and of course I meant orbit. Sorry. PBACOT - The alt key did not help - I did not see a real difference. Charlie and Dave - you are of course right - I do not know why I did not think of doing just that. And Dave - see my response on the "embedded" components. THANKS TO ALL - It just goes to show that "If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room" - I forget that I am often in the right room and should just ask questions!
