Very interesting conversation. I would use the violin to strangle the cat.
I don’t know anything about Jack Murdock’s background, but each and every one of the things that he says he can’t do, I have done. If I ever had a serious problem…there’s always DCB with Super Dave. I didn’t notice the gopher anywhere on this thread
The one thing that is paramount to working with SU is the concept of components. Once you master components and get your hand to eye coordination working right, you can work miracles with Sketchup (SU).
Try a right to left select and see what you get. I’ll bet it’s different from the left to right select. Move is a simple M and start to drag; add the option key (I work on Mac) and you’ve got copy. Make a copy and type *4 and you now have 4 copies. What’s the problem.
I was always taught that a good workman never blames his tools.
Maybe you want to consider that Jack.
But then I never make mistrakes.
