Yeah that helps a lot. I dont think I can exagerate when I say that has saved me an unknown amount of time. Thanks.

Hi, I am new to sketchup but 3D rendering is nothing very new to me ,even so, ths is generally the first time "I" have used a 3d program. I am wondering is there a way one can set up a set of actions to use on any 1 object. I am rendering a Wood fired Oven dome and this dome is made with concentrically laid chains of brick that meet and flare outwards to make room for mortar. I am using pi to find the circumfrance and the uniform degree that fits each chain of ascending brick. I am trying to be as accurate as possible because it makes a considerable difference in the arc of the horizontally laid chain and the vertical arc that leads to the top. In reality there is a tool one uses that is just a measuring stick that swivels from the bottom of your dome so this eradicates the problem I face in sketchup. I end up with a very large decimal for my uniform degree in sketchup and I dont feel good havng to type it in for every block. Is there a way one can set up an action or set of actions and then use it on a copy. If so this would not do all my work but would help out tremedously.
