It is nothing broken. It's a normal function which is quite useful sometimes.
Go to View tab/Component edit and uncheck hide rest of model. I recommend experimenting with those, as it may be very useful.

Hi Marian,

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, that's "hide rest of model". I don't know how it got checked.

That's good to know.

Have a nice day!

Hi there,

It is the first time that it happens and I have no idea why.

I have many groups in my Sketchup file and when I "edit group" or "edit component", the rest of the model disappears but the group/component that is active.

It's kind of cool, by automatically hiding the rest of the model when working on the current geo, but most of the time I need to see the other objects around it.

I'd appreciate if someone knows the cause and how to fix it.

Thank you,

_KN

Thanks Ken and joppermann .....but Ken why so formal.? Dolph or dolphus please

Hi Dolph,

Because I saw you're 67 on your profile (older than my parents). So I did not feel appropriate to call you by your first name.

Have a great day!

Very nice, Mr. Cochrane.

Thanks, Michalis, Numbthumb, Jeremy, Oli. Glad you like it.

Some more here.

Great stuff, Oli.

I do agree with Jeff about the third image. That one is very hard to read due to the reflections and stuff. It is quite busy and it is difficult for the eyes to focus on something.

Good luck!

Thanks, Michalis. I am glad you like this thread.

Great! Thank you, Sir.

Hi guys,

I don't think there is a plugin like this yet. It seems like a tough one to write.

I would appreciate if someone could come up with a plugin that create an helix that follows a curve or even another helix.

The best example is a phone cord.

Thank you very much for you help,

:geek: I have created a plugin that can produce a helix and give it a profile automatically. You can download it here:

Cool, thanks, James.

Awesome, Roberto.

Have a wonderful week!

Jeez stinkie, I nearly banned you and deleted thread.

I saw SPAM!!

Exactly!

Same here. I thought I had to report you as spammer. LOL

Pretty cool, Michalis.

Is there a story behind these sculptures? Were they based on historical ones?

Take care,

Thank you, Mr. Cochrane.

Here are some images of the spaceship.

I did see the old man, but not the ghost. It's like "find Waldo"....LOL.

have a good weekend.

Nice render, delineator.

A few comments (just my opinion - feel free to disregard):

1- the cat seems kind of larger than it should be, but maybe it is a really big cat.
2- It's nice to frame the picture with the tombstone on the left side, but this one seems a little big and might distract from the main focus which is the watchtower.
3- the grass in the foreground is cool, but needs a little bit cleanup in photoshop.

A suggestion: maybe add some kind of red/orange/yellow light (candlelight?), in one of the dark opening (window?)to make it more interesting. So people will wonder, "is it abandoned", if not "who lives there", etc. Add some mystery.

Have a nice day,

_KN

Great render, Mr. Hawkins. Can't wait to see your photo real render.

Cheers!

Interesting model, Charly.

What is it exactly, a floating city/space ship?
