Hi,

Ok, I think I got the snapping into place part, but rotating is still a pain. Is there any way to rotate the pieces exactly (90 degrees for example), when making corners etc?


Quite easy, select the object you want to rotate, use the rotate tool, going over the object until the right axis is selected, rotate some and type 90, it will automatically rotate perfectly from the previous position to 90.

You got a small zone at the right bottom called the VCB (don't remember what it means). You can use it for almost everything. Another example : to create a basic 1/2" from a 1", type S for Scale, select a center handle and type 0.5
To create a 3' by 5' rectangle, draw any rectangle and then type 3',5' and so on.

Happy Sketchup. Good to kill times between castings...
