hahahah I agree! I had to check the sound to see if it was on. Fooled me!

you gotta be kidding

You need to click to place the copy at the end of the intended array, then type /11 and Enter. That will give you an array!

You forget to press ctrl key to make copy. You probably already find solution, but maybe others find this hint helpful.

+Harold Westrich A modifier key is any key you can use along with a tool, like the Eraser tool. Using the modifier key 'shift' for example when you erase something won't erase it, it will soften the edge.

Never mind, figured it out... Still kind of crappy that when I do an array over 360 degrees that I have to go back in and delete the extra component.

+Luke AOD LOL!!! You want Autocad, I KNOW exactly what you are looking for and autocad is the tool for you. it automatically sets the degree by how many you want within your circle. No joke, it's really that easy.

Luke AOD how?

Make sure you set the move distance first, then enter 10x

I'm getting mad..

Stick with it, I went through the same thing and still do. Wait until you try the 'Solid' tools that come with Sketchup Pro. But once it works, stand back it only gets better. It's almost like a musical instrument in that you only need to know a few chords to make music, but you can strive for anything. I used AutoCad for personal drafting as a contractor for a decade, but was never good at it. I'd just draft what I needed, and didn't have or spend enough time to learn it properly. I moved to Chief Architect because it had 3D capability, was a lot cheaper, and also did what I wanted to do in AutoCad more easily anyway. Then came Sketchup and I threw all that stuff away. AutoCad is pyramidal structure. It starts at the bottom where everything is defined, put together and named and used to build the next piece, but is ultimately limited to what is in the library. Sketchup starts with the finished product, and then gives you the tools to reverse engineer it. That sounds like a strange thing to say but an example would be; Using AutoCad, I used to design a house by laying out floor plans, and extrapolating the rest to see what you get. To change things you go back to the floor plan. Using Sketchup I can start with boxes, representing volumes of space. I can drop in furniture groupings and then examine the items as they would be on the site, especially for light and other thermal characteristics without ever entering any dimensions. Although a few pieces are sized to maintain scale. Before getting down to specific room dimensions, or having to commit to other defining and confining rules.

I can fly in wire frame. wish there was an 'easy' way to simply highlight object and type 'create solid' and wala all done. but no. not yet.
