      In windows it is available on the right click menu.
      Or under the menu Arrange.

      You rock. I can sleep sound now. Thank you.

    • Cannot Turn Grid 'Snap' Off

      I thought I had a good bead on this, but for some reason I simply cannot turn off the grid snap in Layout. I thought it was in 'Document Setup' and then 'Grid'. Can anyone help me on this?

      Thanks so much,

      Here's SU Version 6 of the skp I attached above since that one is SU 2021.

      Forgot to mention that this isn't close to realistic scale. Which shouldn't matter.

      Thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate it. Learned a lot about Fredo plugins.

      Here is an earlier discussion on the subject to get you started.
      Some good advice and links.

      And here's one I did earlier.

    • Geodesic Dome Strut HELP

      Good day,

      I lack the skills to create a strut like the one show in this post. I can't seem to create the 'pinched' transition from the tube to the flat part of the strut. Can anyone help me out on this? Maybe point me to a couple, basic toolsets?

      Thanks,

      Mark

    • Custom Start Arrow

      I was wondering if Sketchup had included a way to create custom start arrows? Something like the photo I've attached.

      I saw a post about this same question around 2015, but couldn't find anything newer.

      Thanks,

      Mark

    • Presentation / Design Phase Help

      Good day,

      I was wondering if anyone has suggestion on possible plugins/techniques I could use to make my schematic/early design phase drawings look more presentable and interesting.

      Currently I draw on sketch trace paper over a massing model I do in Sketchup. I'll use pictures I find on Pinterest to communicate what each space/item might look and feel like. I was hoping there was a plugin I could use to make these drawings look more artistic and accurate. Maybe something I could use within Sketchup to 'paint' or 'draw' over a massing model.

      Thanks in advance,

      Mark

    • Updating Model Across Several SU Files

      Good day,

      I hope I'm doing something obviously wrong here. I have two, separate SU files: One is the 'Working Model', and there other is the working model that I've imported to a different file. After I've made changes to the 'Working Model' I want to see those changes reflected in the imported file but, if I click 'Reload' on the model itself, I lose the views and sections in all scenes.

      I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong and if there might be a better way to do this.

      Thanks in advance,

      Mark

      Oops. File was 'Restricted'. Original link should work, but I'm including a new one just in case...
