If it is a simple enough animation do it in .gif format. It plays in any browser, as far as I know.

You can scale by entering the value of that ratio in the VCB box. AFAIK SketchUp does not accept ratios as input but as mentioned you can calculate the value of that ratio and enter it in the VCB. You don't have to "select a line / surface and then ... independently calculate the size that you want it scaled to": you just select an object you want to scale, pick the scale tool and scale it uniformly by the value of that ratio.

Mine shows 25mb limit. Two new things I have noted:

1. A separate application called BrowserPlus have to be installed for attaching files. This is an inconvenient thing.
2. Image attachment have options setting. I did not notice that initially and ended up with a 37kb file for an original file of 900kb. This is good and bad, depending on the user/usage.

Use the move tool at the end of the "line" and move it and you will notice its not a line at all its a plane.

Well, I get three outcomes:
Use Select tool to select line >> use Move tool to move line from one endpoint. Possible to achieve desired result.
Use Select tool to select line >> use Move tool to move line from the other endpoint opposite to previous step. Impossible to achieve desired result.
Without pre-selecting, use Move tool to move the offending line. It forms any shape of triangle you want. Impossible to achieve desired result.

I could "turn it inside out" (or what) and THEN delete it with any further issues.

I don't quite get you. I thought maybe you meant "reverse face" but I am not getting it in the context menu.

Hi Dale,
Thanks for the response, two points to note though: (1) Mine is always a dwg import after preparing the dwg file thoroughly for SketchUp use, and (2) if it were welding problem, faces would not have formed in the first place.

Hi Gaieus,
Thanks for the response. I don't always face the first problem, moreover what I have posted is simplified. When I encounter such a situation I check for hidden lines (triangulation) and it shows that the faces are coplanar.

Well, I have been irregular in this forum for a long time now because my SketchUp usage have reduced drastically. The few times I have used in recent times, I have had some frustrating moments. Take two examples illustrated below:

Example 1: I delete one line and the entire face goes off. The gif image is illustrative; it's not a screen grab as I can't replicate the situation right now. I had faced the situation often nevertheless.

Example 2: I am stumped! Delete one isolated line and an entire face materialises! Screen grab and skp attached for anyone willing to dig deeper.

BTW, I work on AutoCAD imports but I do due diligence before importing.

Cheers,
Guite

'Things' and 'nothing' go hand-in-hand - they need each other, like many 'opposites', e.g. like the two sides of a coin that can't exist without each other.

Just got an idea: suppose we have coins that are hemispheres? The one side and its infinite opposite sides! The head and its infinite tails! Just joking.

When you learn to pencil-sketch you are usually told to draw the space around things, not the things themselves; it's the space (nothing) that gives the world form...

On a more serious note, I like this part. One of our teachers used to say, "When you draw a line, you are dividing space. When you draw a bounding box, you are defining inside and outside: both are equally important".

Would the auditorium open just for me? No performers, no other audience, just ME! I would love that silence and be none the poorer for it.

The partially visible people suggest the images that make up the overall composite aren't necessarily from the same moment in time.

It (the Gigapan) is a robotic platform that attaches to a digital camera and some computer software. The robotic platform allows a user to take a photograph, then it will re-aim the camera with great precision, to take another photograph. After taking many photos, the software stitches all the pictures into a gigapixel image.

It would be interesting to see a Gigapan shot of a soccer match.
