Perhaps my couple of weeks of playing renders me to much a newbie to understand this plugin.

I found it when searching for a way to correct a model with two objects where in the process of building them they "went astray" of the original plane so that when I try to print them on my Printerbot they are askew.

How can I use this plugin to align the bottom plane of both objects so they are flat on the new plane?

I created a disk that lays flat on the XY axis and can clearly see the objects are not lying flat but are slightly tilted. I spend a lot of time trying to manually rotate to get things aligned on the xy axis but just cannot seem to get there.

Is there a simple explanation or instruction on how to select a component and then make sure it's bottom face is aligned FLAT to the new disk? Then repeat for the second object so their bottom faces are both exactly on the same plane?

Be gentle with me...I am not yet familiar enough with Sketchup for someone to just assume I already know all the functions.

Thanks in advance your your help guys ( and gals )

Looking for help and found this forum. Thought I'd give it a try.

I recently bought a Printrbot Simple just to play around with and landed on Sketchup to make my 3D designs.

Found Sketchup to be a bit lacking in what I would think should be basic tools so hoped to find solutions from the experts here.

What I find troublesome in Sketchup is a lack of an easy to understand method to align objects which I would think should be a basic simple tool.

Another feature missing is a simple method to slice a solid in half with the result being 1/2 of the original still being a solid with all faces closed. Some of the "work arounds" give me a lot of trouble leaving "holes" in the model etc.

So now that I have griped a bit about what I find to be a really nice program, let's see if I can master it's use with some help from the nice people here.

I am in NE Florida, web developer but more-or less retired so have some time to play with my toys now.
