RE: How best to model a leather bag...
Thanks mate, not really interested in a render quality model or anything; more so if there is a process to draw the bag to scale then unfold it I guess.
Will have a look at the link you suggested, just an old SketchUp Dog that doesn't want top change his ways...
Cheers!

How best to model a leather bag...
Hi guys, I have been a bit quiet here; been working in an different capacity which has cut into my SU modelling fun time...
I begacn a few years ago starting to make leathergoods as a hobby and my daughter has asked me to make this bag for her. I will be able to scale it approximately off the photos but I'm curious about how any of you would go modeling it to then be able to fold it out to create a template.
I do have SubD and Artisan tools but am only an amateur at it. Do you thikn they're the way to go give I can go back and forth to the base model to export the base surface after I've got the final shape as I want it?
I'm really keen to work out how I can use SU to design future pieces that I can transfer to a tool liek 'unfold' of something similar....
Cheers in advance.

If a model [or a component created from it] is 'geo-located' then the first time it's inserted in a new model it snaps to the origin with no user input.
To avoid this remove the component's geo-location under the relevant item in its Model Info.
Always take care with imported SKPs that they are not geo-located !Can you access this 'geo remove' data via api? Would be a nice addition to your Purge plugin.
Agreed Rich!!

RE: Layout Dimension Box

Can't you just turn off the fill? I can. I select the dimension object. Open the Shape Style window and click on the first button (Fill).
On Windows you can also turn off the dim text box fill. Just select the dim and click the fill box same as the Mac.
That doesn't work for me Richard. See the attached screenshot.... as you'll see the textis filled yet the 'Fill' tab is unchecked....

Thanks pbacot, interesting you can make it work... I see you're on a MAC? Can you share a screenshot of the result you get?
On Windows there is no way to remove any fill...

RE: Layout Dimension Box
This has been an annoying bug with Layout for some time now..... The only real work around is to move the dimension above the dimension line unfortunately.
