Hello,

I installed the Mac plugin and it is working well. Great system. I had a problem, though. When I first installed the plugin, I was happily making 2" round pipe as desired. After a bit, it changed to hexagonal profile pipe and I can't seem to get things back to round. There didn't seem to be any solution in the tutorial. How do you choose between the profile of the various pipes?

Hello everyone. Love the forums. I have a very beginner question. I am familiar with Sketchup from work with woodworking models, but these generally are "square or rectangular" shapes. I am now designing a structure made from PVC pipe and have downloaded several of the available 2" pipe objects on google warehouse.

I am having a frustrating time aligning components that are cylindrical or curved. For example, I would like a simple workflow for placing a 90 degree pipe fitting onto a straight pipe (I have both objects). I have found this to be a difficult process using the normal sketchup inference approach since obviously it is the center of the two pipe openings that must be aligned, not a point on the outer walls.

I'm sure there is an easy way to accomplish this that will require less hair loss on my part. Any suggestions?

Thx in advance.
