It wasn't a matter of making the dialog box bigger, it was a matter of adding one more entry to the thread -Window/Style/Edit, then clicking the transparent box.

Putting a window with the Select tool (I assume that's what you mean by fence?) and right-clicking Entity still just brings up one entity at a time. Oh well, thx anyhow.

Oh, I see now, I had to click on "Select." Now I see a box for "edges." But I still have to run my cursor up the whole line to see the edge inferences appear. Is there a way that I can just see all those inferences at a glance? Sort of like how AutoCAD lets you set points as "X's" so they'll all show up at once and you can see how many pieces you divided a line into.

I'm using SketchUp version 8, btw, on a PC (Windows 7).

Thanks, folks. Still having problems though -

I went to Windows/Styles/Edit, but didn't see anything about checking endpoints.

I right-clicked on a line segment and saw the Entities choice. But it doesn't tell me how many entities are in the whole line. It just gives me info on that line segment.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there an easy way to tell at a glance how many segments a line has been divided into? I know if I right-click I can divide a line into however many I want, but I can't find a way to go back to that line and see how many segments I divided it into without running my cursor slowly over it. Surely there's a setting that might make the segment endpoints show up right away, or other method? Thanks.

I see. Thanks, Gaieus!

Hi all,

I drew some circular posts under a floor surface. On the top of the floor, the circle outlines show up. I hid them, but "ghost" outlines still show up when I orbit around. Is there a better way to get rid of those circles from the top of the floor view? Thanks.

I think scaling was the issue ...thanks so much, folks.

Thanks, Gaieus and Karina. Dragging worked great. About exploding, maybe that's the root of another problem -I've noticed that some of the materials end up wtih a dot grid that resembles a selection pattern all over them. I click off the model, but the dots remain. Any thoughts?

Hi all, hoping one of you expert SketchUppers can advise me.

I imported some jpgs to use as texture paint in SketchUp. When I open the Materials dialog box, the jpgs show up in the "In Model" field. But they don't show up in the "Materials" field. I would like to store them in Materials, next to all the built-in textures, for use in other models. Researching this, I've read that the jpgs are supposed to show up under Colors, but I don't see them there. Any suggestions? I'm using SketchUp 8 on Windows 7. Thanks.
