Dave,
Thanks. I'll try this out.

I'm curious to know how you would go about applying materials to a SketchUp drawing of the sideboard in this post. Specifically, using one of the drawer fronts as an example, what is the best way to apply materials to a component (a drawer front) when there are inlays and grain running in various directions within the component? Is it necessary to break down each veneered segment and inlay line into its own component, or is there an easier way?

I have reviewed your and Dave's previous posts regarding the application of materials, but can't find an easy answer to this question. I specialize in veneering and inlay work, and need a way to draw these kinds of details for customer proposals, as well as seeing what a potential design would look like.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion you can offer. Your blog is an excellent source of information, and I look forward to every new post.

I have a question on use of the RoundCorner PlugIn.

I'm trying to use RoundCorner to round edges that are on multiple connected components. Specifically, I'm trying to do round edges on a set of legs and upper/lower stretchers for an end table. There are 3 components involved (legs, upper stretchers, lower stretchers).

All examples I can find show RoundCorner being used on edges of one component, not edges of multiple connected components. When I edit one component with a rounded edge, and then edit the continued edge of an adjacent component, the rounded edge is not continuous. Attempts to group components for editing, or edit multiple components simultaneously don't work.

Can you please point me in the right direction.

P.S. I'm new to SketchUp, and Design/Click/Build has been very valuable to my education so far.
