Thank you all.
I am still discovering this marvelous sotfware...

I am 3D modeling a theatre for setdesigning purposes.
I am always modeling on layer 0 and than transfer the group or components on appropriate layers.

The theatre on which I am working has a mezzanine. I have create a major group called mezzanine that include others sub-groups and sub-components (floor, walls, fireextinguihers etc..). Once all these items modelized, I have put my major group called mezzanine on a layer called 80_Mezzanine.
Now that I want to mask either one on the sub-group or the major group, a strange grid corresponding to the exact volume of the item I want to mask appears.

I invite you to take a look at the document here attached.

Thank you all,

Hello Katerine,

Have you seen the xref manager plugin? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=7329
I think it should solve your problem.

greetings, Max

Dear Max,
It sounds very similar to X-ref with AutoCAD. I look forward to test it.
Merci beaucoup!

Hello everyone,

I am changing religion...I am teaching and using AutoCAd for over 20 years ans I am planning to switch to SketchUP. But I figure out that I might have a huge problem...my students (in Theater Design) will eventually have to work all together to conceive and generate all the drawings (conceptual and construction drawings)for a Set design.

Could multiple users work on a single sketchup model at the same time from separate computers? If not, how can we proceed to generate the Conceptual drawings and the construction drawings by a class of 15 students?

Thank you,

Katerine

As I see I am not the first one to went trough the game of Security and Permissions.

Thanks a lot to all of you.

Hello, I just installed Sketchucation tools Plug In. When I try to have access to the Plug In Manager this windos appears: No Security Permission to Manage ANY Plugins Folder in the $LOAD PATH.
FULL Read/Write Permissions are needed to Manage Plugins within PLugins Folders...

As you see I am a novice ....
Could you give a clue of what to do?

Thank you

Katerine
