bjanzen,

Thanks for the reply, feedback like that is why sketch-up, the @last/google team rocks.

I think I am missing something with the groups, I double click on a group to edit (say add a line) but then when I click the line tool it escapes from within the group and draws the line outside the group??

Having copy/array with the move tool would be huge.

I appreciate the desire to keep layout simple, but sometimes I feel that while I can fly in sketch-up, selecting and moving in layout feels like trying to run while wrapped in duct-tape. Sometimes I think I have selected only what I wanted, but then when I zoom out I find I have moved unexpectedly selected things. Having a select and a move tool would improve workflow and prevent me from having to zoom in/out so much. Also while we are on zooming, can we have a larger range then 25% to 1000%, sometimes 1000% is not quite enough to select fine lines that are right next to each other and to step-back and look at the whole composition I want to zoom out further then 25%.

I can't wait for the next release, Layout just keeps getting better and better. The day 7.1 came out was a good, good day.

First let me say my appreciation to the sketch-up team for building such a great set of tools!

1. Give me both a move and select tool in layout! When I want to select a line at is over an image I always end up moving the image and don't select the line, I know I can lock the image, but seriously just give me both a select and move tool! Then make this move tool work just like it does in sketch-up, allow me to easily lock red, green inferences and copy arrays! This would be huge!

2. Allow me to make groups and components in layout -- or at least within the existing group function allow me to select different tools with out exiting the group!

3. The ability to make a gradient, image or texture fill for shapes in LO would be much much appreciated.

4. Export to dwg/dxf.

5. A 2D warehouse

6. A progress bar & stop button for when I stupidly decide to vector draw a huge sketch-up model that takes 10minutes

Thanks sketch-up team!
