The issue popped up again recently. Found it to be a Skatter issue after all. I could pull it up on a machine without Skatter plug in installed with ease...would hang forever on my machines that had Skatter installed. Went in and purged/deleted the Skatter reference on the non-Skatter machine....saved then opened in my Skatter machine (no problem) - then redefined the Skatter perimeters...and works like a charm. Unsure what the hang up is and once redefined the problem hasn't occurred again.

I rework it and now it's a closed shell volume: by these steps I started wuth the car body draw with line tool and close the volume [image: QUms_pic_0157.jpg] I copy and offset scaled by 1/16 inch as before with scaleGroupFloat_dj scaleGroupFloat_dj will create an offset call "shell". the settings shown ealier above 4 ) I then vector push-pull the wheels acoss [image: 9SJc_pic_0158.jpg] 5) right click and used context intersect face to model cut away [image: qXVC_pic_0159.jpg] and then cut the bottom interial face of the car [image: EKWf_pic_0161.jpg] @unknownuser said: by marvins_dad » February 27th, 2013, 9:36 am Is there a ruby out there that will create an offset or "shell". I have a car shell... 1/6" thick lightweight ... The problem is ... the programs won't simply print along a plane with zero thickness. and now marvins The Answer: yes- Use scaleGroupFloat_dj.rb and a vector push-pull tool (=to SU push-pull then one end exploded face move by the move tool) by the process above you get this car+body16_dj.skp

You can buy Kinect sensors at around the same price on ebay. Some as low as 50 some over 100, but not that expensive in the grand scheme of things, particularly if you already own an xbox.

@dave r said: There's no dialog missing from the MatchPhoto box. With V8 it got moved to the Styles>Settings dialog. I suppose the help files haven't been updated. Thanks - at least I found it. LOL

Use the Scene Manager > Update tool on ALL scenes... BUT ONLY to update shadow-settings [i.e. when they're 'off' in the current view so that's applied to all selected scenes tabs][image: gqdt_Capture.PNG]

Thanks Csaba - I think we tried the driver, but I am trying to get him to swap the card out with another machine of the same spec to see if the card is what is malfunctioning. At least that is under warranty.

Fololow me and keep does not rotate but in some cases it does not keep the heigt constant. 1001 Bits tools does but it's $ but does have a 30 day trial period

Well, I'm glad you got it sorted out while I was away. By now you should have added your new scale to the list so you won't need to do that again.

Your usual stamdard, a proper job and nice to see.

Bueler? Am I the only one with these issues?
