when im using sketchup, and im using groups and components or just moving things around i get different messages depending on when, where, and how i move. for example, when im moving a componenet, and click on the end point, sometimes it will say, endpoint in group, other times end point in component, and if move it in the middle, it will say sometimes either these two options or a third, mid point in group. and lastly these two, from point, on edge of face. but what i don't understand is it looks all the same to me, it looks like its all moving in the right place. so what are the things i need to know to be precise, and why does this happen? thanx.

Make a full dome and cut it into half.

That was my initial thought when I read the topic title.

yeah but i just realized that i have to turn on hidden geometry to cut the dome or else it cuts into squares

thanx for that. i just had alot of success using the shapes plugin. i added the dome, edited the group, and er cut the dome in half easy as pie

how do you do it

id like to start learning how to best use this tool

context sensitive
