ah thanks so much and such a quick reply, and the snap tools is awesome thankyou for that
anybody else know of any other tools out there that are similar to sketchup features
doing a google search "blender sketchup style" or "sketchup features for blender" dosnt return much of anything, would be interesting to know if there are anything else
id like something like sketchups paint bucket tool for textureing. the uv editor good for more complex texturing but id love to be able to just click a face to apply a texture/material
