how did u use x-ray mode? im trying to find it but i can't.

[4sketchupgo2school]

@DangerousSk8r View menu > Face Style > X-ray. Remember it's a toggle. So you would choose that option to turn X-ray mode on, then choose it again to turn X-ray mode off.

There is also an X-ray button available from the Styles toolbar.

Personally, I have X-ray mode set as a keyboard shortcut for the letter X. so pressing X will toggle X-ray mode on/off.

How do you X-ray mode

[4sketchupgo2school]

@Leendoncasti I have it set as a keyboard shortcut (X) so that i can quickly/easily toggle X-Ray Mode on and off. The Menu option is located under View > Face Style > X-ray. A tool button is located in the Styles Toolbar. And the option for X-ray is also located in the Styles Window under Edit > Face Styles.

[4sketchupgo2school]

@mohawki834 both Mac and PC versions are available for download from the SketchUp website. just be sure to check the box for the appropriate OS before clicking the download button.

Is not the "ALT"-key is the "CTRL"-key..

[MageKim]

Hi there ! To do that, you have to move the "right" EndPoint. To get this "right" EndPoint, hover your mouse (with move tool selected) over the side of the cylinder till you find a dotted "blue Edge". Get and move the EndPoint that is the intersection of this blue Edge and the circumference.

hope it works for you.
