That's what components are for, anything repeated (or mirrored) make a component and reuse it.

Thanks for image. Did you use intersect with model when you finished placing of the component?

What I said is, that If I use Round corners, there will be some deformations in the whole. So you need to separate into 4 pieces the component, which you just created! And that seems to me complicated. If I would use round corners to your component, I would need to do 4 times same changes (corrections of deformed faces and creating new soft edges).

Maybe I should do it in the way that I will place two planes onto the component and I will divide it with intersection to get the quarter, which I would change to component and duplicated 3 times to create completed hole...

Thanks. This is also awesome plugin!

But most likely you have a problem, if you want the pipe to end up the same length and same ending points or connection.

Exactly, that is what I speak about. I use Fredo Scale tools! Ingenious tools! But this does not solve the diameter. I have moved the the pipe rings and set them in exact position and angle, and don't want to move them. So I wanted to change the diameter. If I would redraw them, then it would take the time to set the exact position and angle because the rings are joined like chain. And they are joined in exact position to fit holes of objects... So I decided rather to extend the hole, to me more wide, so the pipe will fit the ring. Fredo's scratching tool helped here to do it.

OK. Forget about ring. That confuses. You have a straight pipe, and wanna change its diameter.

What is it homotethic? I want to change diameter of all the "circles" in the pipeline and they must be same diameter for all. In my case the diameter is same in all circles in the pipe.

Not Ctrl+scale - but thickness.

I have rings (pipes) and I try to find out how to change their diameter. Any idea?

I cannot believe that you put into component every hole you made! This would be big break. Even in the tutorials from Sketchup which I have seen, they did a lot of thinks without components. For example the holes. Using very simply technique like pushing the drawn circle into opposite side, to make hole... This very basic technique, seen so often in the tutorials, was not done with components! I simply cannot believe it, because this procedure looks much more complicated then what I do now.

And I don't take care that somebody thinks that this is trivial, he does work for years in SU, but I just started...

Thanks. This one was quite [highlight=#008000:39tvc7vr]helpful![/highlight:39tvc7vr]

I don't want the outliner structure to get too much complicated.

Another example.

When I created rounder corners, there are as usually some faces deformed and I need them to correct.
Two holes = 4 areas of deformations.

Should I create therefor 4 components for every area which is deformed?

This is silly.

What I suggest is for example to define mirroring point - in other words in this case, to define center of the object, which is the point, where the mirroring center should be located. Then it would be simpler to do any other actions. I would just say, that the lines there, are image of the mirror of what I do right now. So I would do only this one correction to one area, and this would happen to all eight areas,

As I said, I don't want to use components here.
