Thanks for sharing these, such a good idea.

Thanks John

That's magic; a very elegant solution.

Hi Matt
If you go to view, customise toolbar, and then drag the shortcuts you want into the toolbar

If you go to the Window menu and from there click on Entity Info and Layers.
In the Layers dialogue box use the + button to create a new layer; select the object you wish to move and in the Entity Info box use the down arrow to choose which layer to place it on.
Hope that helps

Cheers

Maybe this link to an updated boatbuilding technique might give you some ideas http://westsail42.blogspot.com/search/label/Tick%20Stick

It's a bit awkward without the middle button but there is always command - control to temporarily activate orbit from any tool, plus shift to bring in pan.
I suppose that'll have to do for now..

Thank you!!

If I can just add my two bob's worth hopefully answering your question about mac image editors - if you set your Sketchup preferences (Applications - applications for editing image files - /Applications/iPhoto.app), as mentioned; and then set your iPhoto preferences (General - edit photo - full screen) you end up in the iPhoto editor.
This is an image editor for photos more than anything else (and not a bad one) but at least it will show the functioning of the in-Sketchup edit texture image process.
