are we talking about exiting groups or un-selecting selected items? i'll read back through the thread a little later.

Both.

what if you aren't editing inside a group (raw geometry) and you have some items selected? will ESC deselect those items? i've tried it on a macpro and a mbp now and it works on neither. for that, i have to use the 'select none' shortcut.
(though the way i usually do this when there is no blank space to click in is to select a new item which i can see then shift-select it in order to clear all selections.. just i bad habit i've developed over the years where i should probably be using the shift-cmmd-A shortcut)

Yes this works, I' running Mountain lion Mac book pro SU V8.

As I said before ESC does not deselect with some tools when they are active.

AZERTY, do you think this could make a difference?

not sure.. i guess a few more mac users would have to try it to see..
also, i wonder if everyone in the thread is talking about the same thing and i might of replied too quickly prior to fully understanding the question.

fwiw, on mac, esc doesn't clear a selection(s)..

it's cmmd-A for select all & shift-cmmd-A for deselect all

It does for me or maybe I've a fake Mac

Same thing with the 3 tools:

As a result.

Non tu te fais très bien comprendre et j'en ai tenu compte.

Maintenant je crois qu'il faut continuer en anglais ou poster sur le forum français.

Même principe en négatif tenant compte de l'épaisseur.

Intersection of two shape do the trick.

We should create a lobby to force Trimble reading our wish list.

Share your file so we can mess it up.

search for Component stringer in Plugin store.

La pièce jointe aussi a disparue!

On dirait bien le phénomène "clipping plane" désactiver la projection parallèle si activée ou jouer avec accélération matérielle/réponse rapide, dans préférences/ openGL.

It's all about small edges issue, under 1mm they may not create face so scale again before proceeding Curviloft.

PS: don't draw geometry on another layer than Layer0.
Layers are made for visibility put groups or components on them.

Can you attached the part so we can look at it better.

I tried to attach it as SKP file but it is 10mb and the forum allow only 4mb. I tried to scale it down to 50% but it did not get smaller in mb.I tried to export as collada file, but the filetype is not allowed.

What do I do next?

Scale will not affect file size, you can reduce the file size in a first time using purge in Window/Model info/statistics/purge. Then save and look in Model info/file to see your file size.

If it is not enough save a model with no texture.

Those are nice tools. Thank you for the tip. I also didn't think about the benefits of being able to draw tangents.

All of that said, the plugins don't have the quick and clean feel of the theoretical circle guide that I had in mind. I use Sketchup because I find it a highly productive (quick) tool for modelling. I'll have a look into the Ruby API and see if what I want can be provided as a plugin...

Welcome to polygonal drawing, forget about geometry with the circle.
Workaround, workaround.

Pilou, why don't you switch?
