hey!
any leads on a plugin for this?? looking for the same... basically the sketchup equivalent of the distribute and align tools common in adobe indesign and illustrator, but for 3D objects in sketchup.

thx!

I was recently having an anti-aliasing issue w/ 2017 pro on windows 7. I noticed that the "material transparency" setting under "styles" has a significant negative impact on anti-aliasing. see attached PNG's and flip between the 2 quickly; the difference is even more noticeable in the actual model when toggling between "faster" and "nicer" transparency settings, with an inverse relationship to the smoothness of line.

hope this helps, at least temporarily.

howdy,

anyone know of a trick or plugin that let's one pan only along an axis (e.g. from a top plan view of a model, pan left/right while maintaining constant top/bottom constraints)??

would be huge help

thx+cheers

agreed, dave. came in useful for creating an arrary of vertical curtain wall louvres w/ random offsets! error occurs w/ edges both hidden and not hidden.

could be. problem occurred in an earlier, separate file altogether, however, i did copy in place elements from that file into this current one.

...actually, "undo" worked this last time, but i recall it not working a few weeks ago.

file attached.
when i most recently copied and pasted the components into a new model, the issue did not repeat. it's occurred twice in this original model: 1) with component created in sketchup, and 2) block imported from autocad and edited as a component in sketchup.

thx!

sketchup 2015 file

Having a strange issue w/ copies of components automatically shifting location when i double-click to open one of the component instances. The example below shows a handrail system comprised of multiple copies of a component arrayed adjacent to one another. if i double-click any one of the components, 2 copies on each side of the opened component suddenly shift along the green axis. The shift distance is consistent each time i open another component, however, the shift only occurs once. if i close the component and open it again, the shift does not reoccur. The problem has repeated itself in different sketchup files. The shift cannot be reversed with an "undo" command. PDF is attached to illustrate the issue.

pdf of screenshots showing component shift.
