[image] Bitterly, bitterly disappointed by this anaemic version of the old Make Yes, I’ve grouped dimensions into a group to show/hide them in different scenes. Yes, and when you do that, the dimensions lose their connection to the geometry. Try doing a “push/pull” on any face of the componen…

[image] Bitterly, bitterly disappointed by this anaemic version of the old Make So it is impossible to, for example, have a wall framing stud assigned to a layer called “Framing: studs”, while having the dimensions that supposed show the size of that stud assigned to a different layer called “Dim…

[image] Bitterly, bitterly disappointed by this anaemic version of the old Make What doesn’t work is grouping dimensions that have previously been associated with geometry. These are the ones that loose their connections. Exactly. And that’s my point entirely! The “dimensions” tool is broken…

[image] Bitterly, bitterly disappointed by this anaemic version of the old Make The crucial part here is, DON’T group the dimensions. And therein lies the problem! On a complex model, you NEED to group the dimensions, and assign them to different layers, but if you do that, then the connectio…

What is there to fix? You group (or don’t) geometry. You should never group dimensions on their own. Your quoted statement above was about them being on a different layer. You said it doesn’t work. I (and the program for that matter) say it does. If you say you can’t group dimensions without loosing…

@Designer2020 there seem to be fundamental misunderstandings running through the positions you have stated. Groups and Components in SketchUp exist for the purpose of gathering a collection of geometric entities (mainly edges and faces) into a single, united object. As such, the collection can be …

@SketchUp_Moderator , you have split off several posts into a new thread: SketchUp Free does not work. That thread doesn’t make sense now. @Designer2020 asks himself the question “what is there to be fixed”, which in fact is a quote of my original previous post. That post is missing. At the end of …

[image] Designer2020: On a complex model, you NEED to group the dimensions, You don’t need to group them. Just put them on their own layer so you can toggle them off whenever you need to. [image] Designer2020: then it is impossible to view ONLY the studs with the dimensions turned off, a…

ok, I accept your observation and I will return the thread to its original state soon.

I doubt my comments are much different than others who use Make . . . I am a woodworker, but not professional in the sense I don’t make money doing it. Sketchup Make is a very powerful furniture, cabinet, and overall woodworking design tool. It has it’s quirks and difficulties, but it is a great too…

For most of us, it makes sense to buy hardware and invest in graphic cards and (profesional) periphicals like 3D mouses, you really get something physical! While the BI(OS) is included in the hardware price, you still payed for it…
