Yes, I'm still using SU6. I downloaded SU7 a while back but haven't yet updated to the new version. Guess I'll go do that now.

Thanks!

I tried to do this on my own a few weeks ago and was dissuaded by the number of steps involved. I was trying to layout everything by hand and it just seemed that there had to be some simplifications I was missing. The description of the process makes a lot of sense once I've gone through it all a couple of times. The use of the array capabilities for the initial pin layout and the guides makes things much simpler than I was trying to make it.

I did run into one thing that wasn't covered in the example though and am thinking that maybe I did something wrong. When I went to push the top and bottom half pins SketchUp drew surfaces for the missing half of the pins. I then tried to erase them, but since the surfaces were full pin sizes on the ends (the part that is endgrain on the drawer sides) that didn't work out so well. My solution was to intersect the 3 lines for the each of the half pins with the model and then cleanup with the eraser after the push/pull.

So what *should* I have done?
