Hi folks.
Has anyone used the Engineering Toolbox plugin with SketchUp 2013 and/or 2014 with the latest Mac OS, namely 10.9 or Mavericks?
I have read that Safari 7, that comes with OS 10.9, is causing problem.
I am asking to avoid installing 10.9 and then having to reinstall 10.8 and thus loosing half a day.
Thanks and best regards.
Hi Clive, hi folks.
You can simplify your life if you use a single profile as shown in attached SU file.

Hi Cheem, hi folks.
After you change the Guides color in Styles, don't forget to update the style using the icon that looks like two curved arrows chasing each other.

Hi folks.
Just a trick for those who are using SU Pro : export as dwg and reimport while checking the option to merge coplanar faces.

Hi Bossismax, hi folks.
To close a group or a component, you can do one of the following:
1 - Click outside the bounding box (made of dotted lines) of the group or component.
2 - Right click on empty space or on a geometry that do not belong to the group or component to bring up a contextual menu and choose Close Group or Close Component.
Notice that if you are editing a group within a group, you get up one level in the hierarchy. You will then be in the parent group containing a subgroup. Redo the closing to get back to the root of the model. If you have, for example, 3 levels of nesting, you will need to do that 3 times to get out of a sub subgroup. Using the Outliner allows you to get back to the root of the model with one double click.
Read the help about the Outliner Window to see more about groups and components and how to navigate through a complex setup.

Hi Sundad, hi folks.
Attach your skp file to a post for us to see and diagnose the problem.

Hi everyone.
Happy new year 2014 and a lot of interesting 3D modelling for everyone.

Hi folks.
There is no need for any calculations to evenly distribute any number of copies around a full circle.
First, rotate the first copy by exactly 360°. Notice that, as you rotate and come back to the original position after going around one full circle, SketchUp will show 0° in the Measurement Toolbar. Don't take this as granted. Type 360 as the rotation angle. Validate this angle by a press of the Return key or the Enter key. Then, immediately enter the number of intervals, which, in this case of going around a full circle is also equal to the number of instances of the object, in the Measurement Toolbar. Again, press the Return or the Enter key to validate the value.
Done.
Be aware that the last copy will be superposed on the original. If this is raw geometry, it will merge with the original and there will be no problem of redundancy. However, if the object being copied is a group or a component, the copy will be superposed on the original but will be distinct. One of the two shall be deleted.

Hi folks.
A couple years ago I compared a music piece from Yello that I have on CD and in iTune, as a mp3 file.
The mp3 file's dynamic cannot compare at all with the CD. I get deeper bass and better sound overall while using the CD.
Of course, all this depends on your sound system. If you have a sub average sound system with ordinary speakers, you cannot probably hear much difference. Also, hearing changes with age. This must be factored in.

Hi folks.
On the Mac, with OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, The user library is hidden but can be easily accessed.
It is hidden to avoid people from mangling it and rendering applications unusable.
However, it is easy to find it.
From the Finder, open the Go Menu then press the Alt key. All of a sudden, the Library choice appears in the Go menu as long as you keep the Alt key pressed. Select it and you are all set. Once in the Library folder, search for Applications support --> Google sketchUp 8 --> SketchUp --> Templates.

If you want to practice using basic tools, before diving into the world of plugins, click in sequence on the scenes tabs of this sketchUp file for ideas. It is in V6 for Pilou.
Hi Helen, hi folks.
Broomstick gave you one very good and quick way of doing the selection of the perimeter of a face but, as you stated it, you have deleted the face.
I would suggest not deleting the face first. Keep this as the last operation.

Hi Ken, hi floks.

Bonjour.
Une copie miroir verticale ?
Si oui, un autre truc, crée un composant avec la partie qui doit être réfléchie avant de faire la copie miroir.
Comme cela, toute modification sera automatiquement répercuté dans la réflection.
Pour ceux et celles qui ne savent pas comment faire une copie miroir, il y a quleques façons:
1 - Déplacer une copie et retourner le long de l'axe vertical (bleu).
2 - Déplacer une copie et mettre à l'échelle avec un facteur d'échelle de -1.
