  1. That's a great tip. However, don't try it on a VP this already cropped. You check into the Hotel California. You can't get out without quiting.
  2. When I download and convert the .skp file I get a 100 or so individual parts instead of one 3D symbol. I also lose the nice multi colors. I would like to figure this out. The ?Importing SketchUp Files? pdf doesn?t explain this part. Thanks,
  3. Their are 109 in the Sketchup warehouse for free. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=chair&btnG=Search+3D+Warehouse This is a great resouse but I'm still having problems getting these great looking items in my drawings as nice single items symbols.
  4. This is really a rich resource! Thank for this plugin. However, I do need some help. When I download and convert the symbol I get a 100 or so individual symbols instead of one. I also only get one layer and everything goes to the class I have selected. This way I also loose the great colors. I've downloaded some really nice desert trees and bushes but the conversion kills them. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks,
  5. Thanks Christiaan. I swore there was a dialog box in there somewhere. I guess I'm still remembering ver 11.5.
  6. I know this is a really dumb question but where is the dialog box that we use to manage wall styles? Changing names, deleting, etc. I know how to create and edit using the "Wall Preferences" dialog box. Thanks for helping.
  7. It would save lots of time to be able to set the style class for all the parts using an additional part selection called "all". With every new drawing each part name in the PIO list must be manually set to the style. I like having the power to set them differently but so far I only set one style.
  8. Hey thanks Benson. It works just fine.
  9. You gave us this really nice J-bolt but why doesn't it have a nut? I have this real nice detail of the bolt with a rectangle on top. =-)
  10. Amy, I went thru this same problem. If you zoom in close enough so you and see the grid you can check if things are really on the grid. I think that sometimes the intelligent object snap tools (which I love by the way) will get in the way and over ride the grid. If you're off in just one spot it can give you the dimension rounding error. Larry
  11. I can't figure out a way to get 3 closet doors with the door PIO. I can get side lights??? Anyone know how to get the 3rd slider door for a 10' closet? Thanks
  12. Not a solution but a simular issue. I had a landing at the top of the stairs and no matter how long I made the hand rails they would not extend across the landing.
  13. David, Thanks but... this still seems like a real compromise with these great solids tools. VW will so some real complex cuts and intersections. It just seem odd that one of these commands won't work like the 2D "join" command. Also "clip surface" and "intersect surface" are both illegal. I'm still having trouble believing one of these powerful commands won't do this...?
  14. How do you edit two roof faces so they extend and trim to each other? The 3D modeling tools work with roof faces but I can't figure how to just get two roof faces to intersect and trim the excess pieces. I know this has to work somehow. Help...
  15. Me to. They seem to scale larger ok but I can't make them scale any smaller. I would like them about half the default size.
  16. Hey thanks Peter. You answered another question on how to set more that 2 horizontal lites via the Custom Sash Options. Used to be a box on the OIP.
  17. I can't find the box to add "horizontal lites" in the ver 12 windows PIO. I know this is another really simple one, but help... It right there in the OIP in ver 11. Thanks.
  18. Thank you. I'm embarrassed to tell you how long I looked for that.
  19. In Ver 11 you could select a wall and open the walls dialog and change it to a different wall. Or you could use the eye dropper to change a wall type. I can't figure out how to do this in Ver 12 without delete and redrawing the wall. I know this must be really simple.
  20. I have an upper and lower floor layer. Lower 0 to 9', Upper 9' to 18'. I have a 9' stair on the lower level. Overall height when set at 9' looks fine on the lower level. As soon as I select "by layer elevation" I get an error message that says "not enough room for risers". Help...
  21. I have the section marker on the design layer but it won't show up in the viewport. The class visablity is on but no marker. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks
  22. When I save a new file with ver 12 I get a blank white icon. I get info, select it, and erase this white icon that is on top of the original ver 12 file icon and then everything is normal. As problems go this is not a big deal but does any one know of a fix for this? Thanks,
  23. Does anyone know if iKeys will allow a single keystroke (with no modifiers) to execute a series of keys in VW 12? Allowing a single key to be used on a menu command the way it works on a tool in VW. Thanks, Larry
  24. Brunello you were right! I'm finally running with Tiger. That wasn't very obvious was it. Thank you for figuring this out!!!!!!!!!!!!
