All,
Re: Sketch 7.1

Is there a way to find the area of a surface?

And is there a way to find the linear dimension of a line, or several lines?

Above use to determine sq footage for walls, floor, etc., and lineal feet for trim, moulding to cost out project.

Thx

Hi Larry,
(honoluluDT beta me but...)

You can always right click on a component and "Save as" from there. Also, when you've made a component, you can simply drag and drop it into any folder in your component browser's secondary window to save it for further use. You can even save a whole collection of components as a library when you have a bunch of them in your model.

Thx, that worked... fairly well. I find it awkward to add a new folder, as there's nothing intuitive in the components dialog box, and I've got to search where to put the folder. Unfortunately, the components are stored in AppSupport/Library/ etc, which is a pain. Any shortcuts?

Also, once I get the component saved, how can I edit it (Glue to....cut opening, etc) as the options are greyed out?

Thx again.

Hi,

I'm having a horrible time saving components.
I need step by step in saving them, and creating folders to organize them.

When I create a comonent, there's no option saving it anywhere or for a folder, so I don't know where it's saved.
When I 'save as' and name it, I can save it to any file (that shows up on the components dialog box, and it won't show up.
I've been able to save to another folder I create, but doesn't save the name. The name is always "group#9" for everything.

Help!
