Not touching control or any other button, weird huh? Must have a carzy install? Perhaps another reinstall will help but I doubt it. I will give it a try just in case there is some physical memory tie up with another program.

I create a group, move the group, there is another group where the original was. No other geometry creation, no funny magic stuff and I am not saying this to create a problem for anyone. All I have done is report what is happening. You can choose to believe me or not, up to you.

Lucky you do not supply the whole market mate, I'd never have any dosh left. Very nice work, as per usual Sir.

Appears to happen when items are grouped.

A demo of a ghost. The right hand side of this 2d export shows some roof and glazed panels. None of which were created by me. No idea why they turn up but does anybody?

Just one of the spanners thrown into the works.

The latest problem turns out to be ghost related. Not sure why but copies of a component were in the same location and making it impossible to correct errors. Bleeping spooks.

SU frustrates me a fair bit but essentially it is a few elements that are consistently up my nose. Moving points of origin/insertion, where no matter how accurate you are, the start or end point move. Stuff seems to change size from one opening of a model to another, drives me proper crackers. I will put up a few examples tuesday or wednesday, a bit late now mate.

There are swings and roundabouts between TIG's extrusion tools and curviloft. They are both about even and where one might not play with a particular component/group the other will, usually, with a bit of fiddling. The usual problems are caused by sketchup terminating a line or arec at a place other than the one I choose, even when it appears to play ball. Sometimes stray hidden lins are the problem which itself goes back to the love sketchup has for adding lines or faces no one wants. String, long, how..........

Cheers chaps, I reckon I am stuck using a non standard method of build, I just cannot shift it.

Very nice, the roof tiles are not quite 'there' and come across as flat. Bump missing?

Cool kit but, sod mars and other off world jaunts, this would be MUCH better for the weekly shopping trip to tesco/asda et al.

Another view.

Body almost complete, cutouts to add and aero aids plus panels and extras. Closer to the caterham still size wise, would probably just drop onto a caterham project chassis.

Really neat, thanks for showing rendered and sketchup output.

Having had a look at the room allocation, there appears to be a problem. They have a 'kids room' but only one bedroom I can see, are the 'kids' put on a coathanger every night and tidied away into a wardrobe? THAT could catch on........

Alternate Style placing the current caterham se7en as a template. There will probably be changes but the body is nearer in size so weight gain will be much less.

i need a copy of this asap.

Then, I think you need to make it.

David, brilliant as usual. One day etc etc. I sencerely hope your images earn you good money, giving them away like this must cost you a small fortune and I would rather look at YOUR work than the guff in the national gallery. At least your product has integrity.

As a side issue, these would make fantastic hdri images if there were a way to do so.

Have a look into the saucer section, it looks to me as though there are segment walls heading into the centre, like orange segments. I know it happens sometimes and only cure I found was to make sure the 'lines' or segments on the outer profile are contiuous or welded seeing as sketchup loves breaking up circles and arcs.

Bits do fit, thankfully.
