Thanks for the pic tutorial. I'll get pictures of the model up when it's done...even though it's not even a final model. How I love being an architecture student.

PERFECT! xrok...I can't thank you enough!

And now...to build the model...here comes a looong night. Yay!

Well all the faces are unfolded already that's why it doesn't look like anything...

ok so I figured out how to drop them to the same y plane. Now I just have to rotate them to all be on the same x plane. Thanks sooo much for the help

I'm sorry...but I'm having trouble figuring it out haha

I'm uploading the .skp and if you have a moment could you try?

pieces.skp

It was in the tools folder so I made a copy of it into the plugins folder but it still doesn't work

Hmm I don't have a little eraser...just "report this post"

Either way...I installed the smartdrop plugin but I can't find it in sketchup.

I found the drop.rb script but I get a popup saying "no such file to load - engine/command"

I'm assuming this is another script that is needed for drop to run...where can I find it?

MOD: delete above post please.

One more question...

Now that I have all my pieces taken apart how do I get them to lay flat on the same plane? I know I could use the move/rotate tools but is there an easier way?

Heads up to everyone:

The Ruby script does EXACTLY what I wanted it to do. Thanks so much. You guys are life(and time!) savers.
