I did the circle with sphere, the little one. I saw a video tutorial but am confused. She speaks very fast and the demonstration is short.

sphere6.skp

I intersected two spheres

and I wanted to delete the face in the created circle. But it is not possible to delete the face. When I select, so it is whole sphere face selected. Why?

So you must use a plugin of welding curves Recurve

Wow, that's great plug-in. It even has menus Select only, which I needed too. And I repaired one edge. The upper left corner is OK, it connected, but the bottom right, did not. Maybe the space is too big?

I dont understnad it too much. I drawn it on a face. I must delete the face because I don't see the line when I zoom. But when I delete the face, I cannot zoom out or zoom in. So I must undo. When the face is back, I can zoom out (or change view to top down) and I can select the edges which are exploded from the first curve. But as I click twice on the top edge, so I see it is connected to the right curve. The left edge and bottom edge are connected together. So there are 2 + 2 connected entities but not connected together as 4 elements in one entity...

If you yant draw some faces or curves on the same plan

Just draw a big rectangle : right clik/group it and draw anything you want : they will be "plane"

Yes, I drawn the rectangle, but did not group it, but for next time I will do...

PS: Ah, now I can zoom and see the lines ... they are not joined. That is because when I drawn the 2nd curve, I ended too far of the edge of 1st curve. Sometimes the curve is visible and sometimes not... You're right, I must to group the rectangle.

Oh how simple! I did not think about that.

And please one more problem is joining lines. I created two curves. First one curve, looked like rectangle shape made with line - but it is was curve. Then I drawed curve on right side. Then I exploded the first curve and deleted right side, so now, I have three parts. Imagine is like a base for building. I need to connect the lines (the second is still a curve). Is it possible to join the ends with BZ_toolbar? I know there are two icons in the bottom right corner, but this joins only if I edit some curve. Not two curves or one curve + one edge.

And I know there is line which I could use, but maybe there is also some tool which can make it more simple, if you select two objects... Or faces? ....

Joining faces was big headache for me, when I tried to join two objects (with faces) together. It was a pylon made from two halves of various faces, created in difficult object to join. So maybe there is some plugin, who could join two faces, which are close to themselves? There is the problem that the faces have some space between, and different angle, so looking for shapes to join them manually is hard.

How do you solve this:

I am drawing a heart:

and I need to rotate the right half to fit with the curve on left side. When I rotate it the lines at bottom are crossed, hence when I want to move the selected line, it moves the bottom of the black curve...

It looks like they joined themself, how to disconnect them that I could to move the selected line?

I did not mess up anything. I sent detailed report with error message to developers, so I am not gonna repeat it here. The problem is really in path.

OK. But I think I will wait with it because, I should to edit colors and then to make the unique textures, otherwise I could not do it later if there is many faces.

As we talked about sandbox, I checked again the "Install extension" button in my SU, and I found directory with .rbs files (so these are installed). It seems that it is not possible to install these files (to open them).

I is possible to cut material (texture of image) when it is already applied on object? I mean, I can go to external editor from local menu, when I use Paint Bucket, but if I save it, will SU recognize that he has to change to position of the texture on every face of object?

Yes, it would be better to use less details, but I want to do it realistic.

The actual 'scale' of the model whilst doing the initial bocking-out need not worry you too much initially...

Sorry, I don't understand this sentence.

I try to do the pylon in detailed way.

Beginner set the axis correctly, I just do this on my own and I did not succeed to do it in the image with whole bridge.

I think you largely overlooked my post above explaining why this PhotoMatch session can be successful:

Subject: Match Photo and axis

Why did you write it? I had read the post. I think this photo can be used but I have two photos and I used the previous one, which contains more detail in better quality.

Hi folks.

May I suggest the use of the most underused of SketchUp's menus, namely the Help Menu, the last one on the right.

The seond choice of this menu is the Help Center.

Hi,
this one did not worked for me when I started to learn SU. BUt I have solve this problem already same as I obtained the videos few days ago (and I had seen most of them).

Thanks for explanation. I just wanted to say that I had seen the images before. But probably I was wrong and confused. It had to be in the Adding material dialog box

Beginner:
This is not a critique, because I am glad you try to help me and I see you spend some time with the image for me, so I am thankful, but I have a note to the scale.

Yesterday I checked images with people on stairs and today I did new calculations and the result is 4 persons 165cm high (from surface of water up to surface of floor of bridge. I also did some piece of work, even if people can call it crappy, I tried to do more in details, and I see that the my work is in better scale to real.

So here is your image:

I moved the persons towards because of the people walking up the stairs:

Again, I found the image this morning, so could not show you yesterday.

Thanks for your work.

Can you help with this? In Photo match I set the axis and draw this. Now I have the biggest problems to draw in depth. The engine often sugests blue axis when I try to draw in depth. Now I try do draw these three (red) lines:

But I cannot to do it. I tryied many ways but alway it it either too far back or too far in front. The line is just few cm, maybe 4-7 cm, but this draw line 20-40 cm or more long. Terrible.

So I try to draw it in 3D view instead 2D on photo, but it is the same result. The 2D view is verse coz I don't even see what happens - where the line goes.

I don't understand you. Do I must backup my material settings?

png a jpg but they were visible before I clicked the icon

I still the problem as I described above with the textures. The images from my folder called "Materials\TESTERS" "disappeared" - but they are really there in Explorer. They are just not displayed by Select tab when I choose this folder. Any idea why it is not displayed there?

I don't have any extension. But I don't see any sense of reinstalling from buggy installation file. Also my version 8.0.15158 crashes sometimes.
