I can drag a down-sized explorer window onto a maximized SU screen. However, the moment I click the SU screen to begin sketching, the explorer screen hides itself. Then I have to start playing with alt-tab. Am I doing something wrong?

RE: PIPE-ALONG-PATH SNAFU
Attached, please find an SU file containing a collection of un-extrudable paths within which you may find a clue that gives rise to this issue, albeit an infrequent one.

RE: NEW SCALE FIGURE?
ok. now I know what a scale figure is. they should have called it a 'human scale figure'. I thought they meant something along the lines of a drawing scale representation such as 1" = 1'-0".

RE: Component collection search engine
In reply to Krisidious’ suggestion to use the Microsoft windows folder with its own search feature instead of the SU components sampler – I had no idea that the drag and drop method could be used. So I am thankful for that. The only drawback is needing to split the screen unless you have two monitors.

RE: Fillet multiple corners
Noticing it will not work on non-rectangular faces such as 3 or 6 sided polygons.

Component collection search engine
I hope the folks at trimble will someday improve the way we look up components that are stored in large collections on the pc's hard drive. a search utility/ engine would solve the problem! maybe integrate the windows search utility with the SU program? maybe use the search field currently in the components window that has grayed out "3D Warehouse" in it?

Toolbar icon size
in sketchup, we have the option for small tool icons. this is helpful for displaying many tools on a small laptop screen. so why doesn't layout offer the same thing?

RE: Fillet multiple corners
Got it! Thanks.
However - it only works when you're working with a face. It cannot work on mere edges. -
Fillet multiple corners
"Double clicking on a face near a vertex connecting two edges automatically creates a fillet with the last used radius, allowing you to quickly fillet multiple corners with the same radius."
The above was found in 2015 release notes. However, I do not comprehend how to accomplish the work. -
Autosave influences crash
I seem to have a tendency to crash when performing a command while autosave is unknowingly running in background. Is it just me? My files are usually around 15 to 20 megs.

UNSTABLE VIEWPORT SCALE SETTING
FYI -- I've found the scale in my some of my viewports unexpectedly reverted back to "current scale" despite having set them up differently.

RE: HIDDEN OBJECTS
I tried the context menu re-ordering with no success. Now I am trying the layer stack re-order in the layer palette and it works. Very peculiar feature I must say. Thank you.

HIDDEN OBJECTS
Why would identical objects on different layers be hidden behind the model as illustrated below? Layers have identical characteristics.

RE: Maintaining constant width in an offset
ok - so i re-launched sketchup today and tried curviloft along spline and like magic the toolbar came back. but when i tried selecting edges with the loft along path tool to check out the offset option mentioned above, the progress bar returned. maybe i need to find info on exactly how to use the loft along path tool. but the bigger issue for me is needing to click two faces and instantly create an offset with equal width as i build ductwork systems from measurements i take from 2d cad-created duct layouts. no time to build a path between faces. thank you for your time gents.
