    I may be making easy hard. I am trying to resize a model and of course all my tabs and slots have to be redone. Can someone please explain to me the best work flow/method to get this done. I am measuring the difference, then dividing that in half and all sides in towards center and by the time I get done I have a mess and trying to put the 3d model together, I find nothing fits.

    I would love to see a video tutorial on best way to make tabs and slots so everything lines up and also on taking all the parts and make a 3d model.

    Thanks

    Ernie

    No problem Ernie glad to hear that it helped out. :good:
    BTW SketchUp 5 has dynamic components which may allow us to do this with ease. Its only in the pro version and I have not tried it to see if it will do what we are after.
    More info about them here.
