This looks like it may be a VRAY related problem. Uninstall VRAY from SU and see if this resolves the problem.

And when you curvate it with Fredo Scale! 😄

Does Windows SketchUp support assigning any F keys as shortcuts? It doesn't on Mac (you just get a 'ding' if you try).

Yes. I have F2, F3 and F4 assigned to the three component flip commands and Shift+F2, Shift+F3, and Shift+F4 to the Flip along model axis commands.

With Profile builder create the profile of the paint line then select all the lines you want to be those paint lines and use the Build along path (follow me)option. It will say I can't find a path do you want individual ones, say yes and it will do it for you no matter how long the lines are or at what angle.

i will try this, thank you!

It worked- thank YOU!! 😍

The Release Notes say, under **Exporters and Importers **:

It might not be technically correct (although I wouldnt know otherwise), its a superb piece of sketchup modelling! 😲

The settings you've chosen to illuminate the globe are perfect.

What he said.

Ha! Good point! I got so excited about modeling them...

That's right! I think in the future i'll model a table; that'll give me more control...it's not easy finding a good HDRI with a table just where you want it!

Troy, I was surprised about the rough construction of the original pieces of furniture. My guess is they were built sort of as proofs of concept. I'd guess if sheetrock screws had existed at the time, he'd have used them.

From what I've read and seen, FLW was a great architect but not such a great engineer. I've heard that in preparation for a visit by House Beautiful or some other magazine to his house at Taliesin, he decided the bedroom wasn't big enough. He and his students tore out a load bearing wall and put on an addition. Evidently it wasn't long before the addition was all but falling off the house. They did a major restoration there a few years ago and fixing that addition was a major project.

Troy there are NO dumb questions only dumb answers 😉 I would be ashamed to show you how I STILL do some SU manipulations. Part of the habits developed since SUv1 but I am gradually changing the habits 👍

ahhhh. the memories..... 😆

Brilliant! I will try it right now! thanks

Good ideas for workarounds- thanks!

Troy --- if you can tell me what those workarounds are supposed to do and how they work, I'd be extremely grateful...

The same has happened to me a few times. I find that opening the Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities) clicking the hard disk reference and running the Repair Permissions routine does the trick.

thanks! i'll do that!!

UPDATE:
it worked perfectly.... i scaled it up 10x, performed the followMe and voila! then back down to normal size.

here's the basic idea behind my approach..

Thank Jeff- i'm having a look at it right now.. i wish i had a photo, but no luck. This looks very close to what i'm after...
Update:
Okay, okay- i can see where this can go.. i am prepared to spend as much time on this as necessary. I must know it! Back to it- thanks for the starting point!

I came to the conclusion i needed such a plugin too
i didn't find anything simple already made

Layers Panel does that :

but it doesn't work on my computer

bug related to IE v11, it seems...
