I'd like the shorter part to become the lead..
Now it is satisfactory:



The 1st question is how does one re-adjust the axes.
The 2nd question refers to the circle object. I'd like to move the indicated part.
Tnx

This shape shows as if this is perfect center; well, it isn't.


.
What can i do to correct??

Tnx! Being a newbe I keep forgetting about it..

hi James, tnx..



by turning it i managed to center it and I request some guidance as to how does one cut it off..

Wo3Dan - tnx!
I've drawn this shape:



I'd like to know how to remove a piece to make room for the lead (top) and the same at the bottom..

Wo3man - u understood me perfecly!
Tnx a million!

I'm trying to do the pot construction phases but i've come to a situation where moving the object around causes it wonder with no purpose or dirction, for it cannot go where the user had intended to.
Any suggestions?

tnx

Tnx!
So very much helpful!
I never imagined how easy this can be!

No matter how many times I tried, following the egg shape tut
instructions, I could'nt make a copied circle turn. does anyone have any suggestions?
Tnx

Tnx a lot!
Cheers

This topic really buggs me. I have Sketchup 7, and I'm reading that subdivide & smooth is only for 6. How dose one overcome this?!!

I do need to smooth this object.
Tnx a lot

Hi there again.
I have found a way of sketching the 3d book, with no external app. Hance I'm filled with satisfction. On the toto list I'm searching for a way of describing how I did it.



Regarding your reply, being a newbe this something new to me, and I must explore it. Lots of thanks..
The file explaning my method:

For example I downloaded this:



whereas in Sketchup:


Perhaps you can show how, if possible..
Tnx

It took me awhile to arrange all the pieces of this book. It takes a while for the newbe to have an understanding of how functions work, e.g. rotate
It's been a long process of re-constructing the file and I'm proud to present it..
The initial Sketchup file: http://www.savefile.com/files/1906852
The ready img after processing with PS: http://www.savefile.com/files/1907653

Maybe PS isn't requried at all, It's my next project. I'm having some trouble with the Paint bucket, namely importing web image. I do hope to be able to solve it..

I've been wondering, where are those tuts i.g. under this title. It says d/l model. I need the tut!..
