Ever since I've installed the Trimble version or the latest update, my guidelines disappear when I zoom in close. I think it's a setting but I'm not sure what setting. If it's in SkechUp of my graphics card.

I'm working on a Windows 7 Laptop. SketchUp Pro 8. Any suggestions?

Just wondering? Is "TIG_Random _Shape_Generator.rb.v2.1" the final offer.

Thanks for working at it over 'The End of the world', Christmas and New Years.

Great Plugin. Thank you! You rock.

If the planks are not touching each other or any raw geometry You could explode the ones in question. Perform all cutting and deleting at once. Regroup each plank after triple clicking.

Sometimes the simplest solution is best. Thank you pbacot, and yes I do need the detail. I have to physically build the dam thing with out Architects or Engineers drawings. Project starts on Tuesday and the client is on a budget. SketchUp always comes to the rescue under these conditions.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.

The cut and 'Past in Place' is a workable option. It has reduced the clickathon.
Still not getting my head around the whole 'Intersect with..' thing.

So after you intersected with model did you edit groups and try erasing the parts of the planks you didn't want? You didn't say.

Yes I did, but the whole group gets high lighted.

Hi
Noob alert! Please help. I need to trim the decking planks. All the planks are groups. I have drawn a face where the planks need to be trimmed.
I've tried highlighting the planks and gone **'Intersect with Model'**and 'Intersect with Selection'
I've tried highlighting the planks and the face.
Can anyone please help.

Erase button not working and I'm on a deadline. I'm going to revert back to the previous working 8 Pro version until the bugs are ironed out. This is so frustrating.

Thank you. They will come in very handy.

Thank you TIG.

Hi All.

New on the forum but not to Skechup. My wife and I run a small Renovating company (Remodelling in American English) in Cape Town, South Africa. We specialise in kitchen renovations/remodelling. She's an Architectural Technician and I'm the 'Project Manager.' We use Sketchup 8 pro. and AutoCad 2007. She would draw up the floor plan in AutoCad for me and I would import it into SketchUp and design the kitchen from there. All good so far. Now I need to start the costing......

I know there is a way of assigning values to faces etc. so I can get a costing from SketchUp.. Just need to learn how.
I also need to find a cost effective (see crazy currency exchange rate) rendering software so as to impress our clients.

Hence, here I am...

Thancks for having me on the forum and I'm sure I'll find all I need here.

P.S Here's the project we are working on at the moment. Please note. The client was very specific and partly renovated the room himself. Hence the tiles around the window at the wrong hight etc.
