This way I’m sure my movement are always the same. I use only those lines for mirror, copy and reference. Per example, when I start drawing, I create guide lines that remains for all my project. Be sure that ALL your source references are 100% accurate.Be sure that ALL your actions are 100% accurate.Group your cad import and never use its lines.No offence, I think everybody agree that we all went through this.
DRAFTSIGHT 2018 CLOSES IMMEDIATELY HOW TO
You need to re-learn how to draw, but in SU. You think Autocad, but this workflow will give you tons of problems. It toke me a while to swallow it but I had to stop speaking English (Acad) and start speaking French (SketchUp).
99% that is what it is for everyone, me included. So don’t stress when we say operator error. I now don’t do any import of ACAD files except for remodels where I have an ACAD file and topographic surveys for site modeling. I can find many instances wher drafter errors lead to a nightmare creating a face in SU - like a corner where the lines don’t meet by a minuscule amount. Only import Acad files you are absolutely sure have been drafted carefully.I make the very change you mention often and it takes seconds to modify (literally 11 7/8 - 14). That way one geometry edited doesn’t affect another elsewhere. To make them workable for quick changes you should have very roof plane in it’s own group. However you need to take the grouping further. This is great and exactly what should be done. You are drawing on layer 0, then grouping and assigning to layers.My practice only uses Sjetchup and Layout and I could never go back. Trust me, I went through many a head scratching to get to where I am. Most of what you are saying is happening is due to your process. First off, please do not be offended by any of the comments here.
