    When I have my first row selected and I click “Create folding group” and choose “X” I get an error:

    ” // Error: There are some objects has same center points !!!”

    First of all, the grammar of the error alone pisses me off… Second of all, I can’t figure out why this is happening… I followed every single step of the video down to this, and it gives me an error…

    Anyone encountered the same problem…?

      Hey James,

      Sorry about that, I looked but couldn’t find them either!

      No worries though, I’ve gone ahead and re-added them to the source files section of premium. If you log-in to your account, go to “Source Files”, sort by “3D Graphics” (right side menu) you’ll find them about half way down the third page.

      Cheers!
      Chris

      Hi Cory,

      The video seems to be playing fine for me, could you give it another try? It may have just been a temporary problem with Blip.tv (which hosts our videos.)

      Cheers,
      Ben
