ah.. okiedokie - I realized that I was treading in off topic waters .. I have both adblocker and ghostery disabled for all of sketchucation.com - didn't know about the buysellads.com site. If adding that one to my exceptions list doesn't work, I'll toddle down the hall to browser land thanks TIG

Quote from: John Bacus " The Free installer will overwrite any Pro installs that you have– it isn't possible to install both Free and Pro side-by-side on the same system. We have implemented a new system to support offline use of network licenses (which I think you'll like) but you'll need to add to your network license if you've got more users than your current license allows. Use the link below for more help on that or other network license-relates issues with SU8M2." This is from the Sketchup help forum

I'll take it back out and see if the plugin disappears from the drop down.. it's that sync faces command that I was having a hard time not having available thanks for all the suggestions.. -goes plugin browsing again-

No worries. Actually it is kind of a SketchUp thing anyway.

ok.. cool, will give that a shot. Thanks ETA.. sadly, although the axis move was successful, the .dae export didn't keep it there.

yep.. noob here sorry I'm such a PITA.

Ah, good. I just met my wife's godmother the first time during the week-end (what to say; 3 proper meals a day plus all the drinks in between and along...) One of the meals was duck. I like duck. So where exactly is it?

ty again You've just saved me hours of trying to figure out how when it's not possible. At least my new stuff will have better settings.

The error is unknown to me, usually things like this are fixed by copy/pasting all the elements into a new model so it gets a clean slate. As for movable geometry, yes it can be done but SU has a pretty severe bottle neck on drawing geometry so it will cause alot of extra lag. Wacov's cloth example
