I was wondering if there is anywhere within Sketchup where I can find when the current file was last saved?

Thanks,
Glenn

Dave H, thank you also for the suggestions. I need to spend a little time with the model to incorporate some of the changes and see how the big boss likes it. Thanks again for your input.

Dave, Thank you for the knowledgable feedback, that was very helpful! Was your suggestion of adding the stretchers at the bottom to add more strength to that connection or more for esthetics? Thanks again.

Hi all! I found the attached table design in the 3D warehouse and was wondering if any of the woodworkers had any suggestions for how you would go about building the table, ie where and what type of joinery would you use. Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks for the feedback, that is very helpful!

I was wondering if anyone is running Sketchup Pro 2018 on the current low end 13" MacBook Pro with 2.3GHz Dual-Core Processor with 8GB of RAM and 128GB Storage and how has the performance been. Thanks in advance for your input

Thanks for the feedback guys

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to link a Sketchup model to another file. I have a pdf file that contains the original idea for my Sketchup model and I was wondering if there is a way to link them together. If linking is not possible is there a way to make a "note" in the Sketchup model where I could include the particulars of the origin of the pdf file. Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks

TIG, thanks for the information, unfortunately when I click on the material icon, I don't get the second dialog box.

Is there a way to tell what material has been "assigned" to a component. In the entity info box I see an image of the material but not a description. Thanks

Thanks guys for your input, I really appreciate it. Dave thanks for the comments an SDmitch thanks for the help. I did come across a post that led me to Fredos Scale tool that lets you scale a component to a specific dimension which seems to be just what I had in mind. Thanks again!

Question for ebelg2000: How complex is the component? Is it more than just a cube?

Dave, no nothing anymore complex. I had drawn a rectangular component as the start of a raised panel and then decided to change dimensions. As I was using push pull to add 1/4" to each edge of the panel I wondered if there was an easy way to accomplish the same thing.

Thanks, that's great, exactly what I had in mind and more. My problem now is I have absolutely zero knowledge of Ruby and therefore how to implement your solution. Any suggestions on how I might proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your help

Is there an easy way to resize a compenent, adding a uniform amount to each side? For instance, if I have a component that is 10" x 10", is there a way to add 1/4" to each side, changing it to a 10.5" x 10.5" other than by using push pull on each of the edges? Thanks

Thanks Dave

I was wondering if there is a way to add this plugin to the main toolbar. Thanks.

Hi Joe,
As suggested in earlier posts, I updated to OS X Mountain Lion as well as the latest maintenance update of SketchUp Pro 8 and it appears that allows the plugin to function, although as mentioned above the extended entity dialog box is initially blank and requires a right click to have the information show. I've used the plugin briefly and it seems to be working.

Thanks,
Glenn

I was wondering if this plugin works with Sketchup on a Mac. When I try to utilize the plugin, the extended entity info window opens but is completely blank. At times I can select a different component and the dialog box will show information, however all of the information fields are blacked out. Any help would be appreciated
