Sorry TIG. I am working with SketchUp 8 under Windows XP.
Your Tools Collection now appears under the Tools Menu.
I tried it and it works great. The component recieves shaduw too.
What I do not understand is how to let the component face the camera and to project shadow.
EDIT: That problem has been solved too.
Thanks,

Rob

What do you mean by the possibility of hiding the photograph has disappeared. You can certainly do that. Just go to the Edit tab of Styles and click on the blue cube icon. Modify the style to hide what you need to hide.

Thanks Dave.
What a good explanation. I will try it right away.
EDIT: So I did, and found out that the line color was solid black! After comparing both versions I saw that the guide lines in SketchUp 8 were thinner than in 6.
I do not know if that can be changed. At least I did not find where I could change that.

.....work on the group that is selected.
For it to work withing the group (not greyed out) you need to select at least one edge first....

I should have mentioned to select first, I know.

i use su8 free and the road maker works for me

Here is a quite inexpensive alternative: http://www.smustard.com/script/BoolTools
And here is a free alternative (although I know that "strictly physically speaking" you cannot alternate between three things but only two): http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=14773

This latter says "for SU 8" so either upgrade to SU 8 or upgrade your forum profile: http://forums.sketchucation.com/ucp.php?i=profile&mode=profile_info
