Tips, Hints and Guidelines for working with SketchUp

The tip and illustrations about backface bleeding is a great tip.

Page updated for SketchUp 2022.

Changing Layers to Tags, logo. text color.

Quite some time has passed from the last big update but the main ideas have remained the same.

Any suggestions for improvements maybe? Are there any new guidelines that should be added, when working with newer versions of SketchUp?

One big change has been in the SKP format, that allows to save models in a more compact way, so this could be added to the Share models tip.

For the longest time I have not seen any Cursor trails - is this problem still relevant for others?

For Model with solids - it could be useful to note to use Solid Inspector and Solidsolver plugins - they have been a real life-saver.

Is the problem with duplicate material names still relevant in newer SketchUp versions?

I feel that Use scenes to improve workflow and Presenting your design can be combined.
