A couple of days ago I somehow accidentally changed my toolbars and now when I select an object the Tool Palette doesn't open automatically. I can go up to the view menu and click on the Tool Palette there to get it to open, but it used to be automatic whenever an object was selected.

Is there a way to extract an item from the core library so that it can be edited by Sketchup?

Is there any way to flip a light fixture vertically? I want to turn a bathroom sconce upside down so shades point down instead of up. I have tried the transform/replicate-flip vertically, but that doesn't work. (Fixture is part of a bonus library so I don't think there's a way to extract it for editing with sketchup).

How do I stop a cabinet from adding a filler strip when it's close to a wall?

Is there a way to flip a light fixture over (top to bottom)? Using the transform/replicate reflect vertical does nothing.

In a 3D view I can select a wall and get edit handles on all sides so that I can change the top and bottom heights of the wall, but this doesn't seem to be available with railings (no top or bottom handles). The default top and bottom height are greyed out in the dialog box as well. I want to lower the bottom of a fence to drag it below the terrain ("bury" the bottom). Any idea how to do this?

Can child tool palettes be customized? I'd like to add more options to what's available when I choose a given parent tool.

Can someone please tell me the proper name for the nifty decorative brackets that appear under the roof peaks on the attached pic?

Well K, I don't know what you did exactly, but I followed your instructions and it all seems to be working. Thank you very much!

Well folks, here's the pared down version. Even something as simple as just resizing the garden bed in the front yard makes the problem appear. Folks.plan

At 35MB, I'm not sure how I would go about posting my plan.

The only change made between the OK view and the screwed up view is the addition of the polyline garden bed. The freak ridges show up immediately when the bed is drawn. I tried locking the terrain contours in the display settings, but that doesn't stop it from happening.

When I add a simple garden bed to my plan my terrain contours go nuts. WTH? The attatched pics show the before & after, as well as my terrain settings. Why is this happening?

It took awhile, but it all finally showed up. I guess the answer was "patience".
