      To quote Google... Sketchup requires a 3D class Video-Card with >=512Mb of memory. The card's driver must support OpenGL version 1.5 or higher, and be up to date. Have you looked at your card's control-panel settings - e.g. many to allow 3d applications to take control rather than use presets etc...

      Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

      @danbig said: Have you made any headway on getting unique control over the component copies? Hi Dan, Yes I have. I've attached the new and improved Drawer Cabinet. Take a look at the Component Options and you'll see a number of things that are programmable. Regarding the drawers, it's programmable with 1 to 4 and each drawer is programmable in size. If you use the Interact tool, you'll see each drawer box is different depending on whether it is a top, bottom, or middle drawer. Specifically the top and bottom clearances change. As you can guess, the copy command wouldn't have worked due to the programmability of each of the drawers. I did use selective hiding instead. Cheers, Mike EDIT: Replaced the DRAWER CAB.SKP file with an updated one. Drawer Cab.skp

      There are some rendering applications that can export an alpha mask (white for the rendered objects and black for the background). Have a look at Kerkythea for instance (free). Then it's just a matter of multiply layering the images.
