Thanks a lot; this makes what I've been using Sketchup for infinitely easier. It's extremely disconcerting when you're working on a house plan that has walls changing length depending on how close they are to the center of the screen.
A word of warning, though - parallel projections are pretty difficult to interpret in non-standard views. If you want to do 3d models on top of a floor plan, I suggest switching between projections.
If you've done any panning at all and haven't turned on the parallel projections yet, you'll see the z axis (blue). Perspective view is realistic - things get smaller and closer as they get further away, and this is the default setting for Sketchup. Imagine a long hallway (say 50m or 150 feet), with yourself at one end. Looking all the way down the hallway, you'll see the corners of the room, even though they're parallel to your field of view, right? Same thing here.
No worries! That was perfectly explained. Well done!

Thanks, this video puts it all into perspective, well, plan or elevation. Probably the most useful presentation I have seenso far.

After bringing in a 3D object, I would like to move it to a different plane but can't make that happen. It is not glued. Any suggestions?
