Re: Problem saving a symbol

Sounds like either a bug in your drawing or there's something out of order in your routine. Could yo screen grab the dialog box just before you get the bonk and post?

Re: website update

Beautiful drawings for sure! Speaking of beautiful drawings if you haven't already get down to the NYC Guggenheim and see the Wright retro before it closes.

Re: Section + Elevation workflow

The View routine of naming views can support not only viewport but can support layer control. You can use this same viewport in the print routine... this is how I stack plans and elevations sometimes on top of one another and then via Layer and View controls can print what I want relative to that sh...

Re: High Design with Sketchup

Re: HighDesign 1.8.5 Release Candidate 1 Now Available

I like the changes to the color palette. Could you tie the custom colors in the Fill dialog box to this custom color set too? For now, it seems that the two are distinct.
