Just an update...It was a lot of trial and error but I got it to work! I feel so accomplished.

I would make a note to any others trying to do this (or maybe I am the only knucklehead) that the "animation" does not show up when switching between scenes on the tray but only when switching between scenes on the tabs above the drawing window. Can't tell you how many times I would redraw and switch at the tray only to be very disappointed. However, best way to learn! Won't make that mistake again.

Anyway, thanks again for your help!!

Thank you for the quick replies. I will try and see if I can get this to work...and let you know! Thanks, again.

I am not even sure of the words to use to explain what I am looking for. Sorry - I know how to use animation and section cuts to show a wall being built up. How do I use these tools to show and opening appear in a wall? For instance a door or window cut out? I would like to use this to demonstrate which parts of a few walls are to be demolished. I hope that makes sense. I appreciate any help you can offer.

Sorry if this is a silly question...After I install a plugin I am left with an rbz file AND an rb file of the same name. Do I delete the .rbz file?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Oh...or should I say D'oh! So the trick is to select the edges first and then choose the offset command! I was always choosing the command first and I was not able to select edges. Thanks Dave!

Thomthom mentions on page 22 the ability to ‘Being able to select only a few edges from a face and offset them instead of the whole face.’. Could someone share how this is done? THANKS!!

Thanks Paul. Just got caught up in CatchUp!

I tried to send it to you as a pm but I received an error message that it is too large. Let me see if there is a way to reduce the size and I will try again.

Dave,

I can now upload ( and have done so here) the component. Please let me know what you think as to how to get it to keep color. Thanks!

Dave,

The component does not have a red box around it. It is a blue box.
