Already found two Doh moments that might change a lot in some idiotic stuff I do with sketchup!
Both have to do with ALT key: - ALT on smoove; - ALT on pushpull.

D'oh! You forgot to charge for it! Beautifully done with all the pictures and extra tips-- I was expecting just a redo of the posts. I should have known better. GREAT JOB Rich!

Damned this remember that I have not finished the translation of the Dohdoh thread!  Page 9 / 22  Maybe better that I translate first your very clear Book!  If not yet yet existing French version ?

Rich, the book is really a very good tool. In some cases it was a good refresher tool and in others I really learned some neat new things to use regularly. Thanks a ton for sharing this with all of us.........

Seems user can just save the entiere Web Page and make its own PDF!  In the Browser Menu File /Save as / Entiere Web Page.html And then in there favorite Text editor, Word Text... Save as PDF  All that is too technic for me!

Glad you both like it!
It was a pleasure to read through the thread and compile it into a friendly and funny item.
It was really cool to see everyone at Basecamp with a physical copy in their hands.
There's about 30 copies left over that I must figure out what to do with.

Have a 30 best new D'oh! contributions contest. Each one of the top thirty gets a book, and an entry into D'oh part Deux.
