Hi ThomThom, Yes I did turn on hardware acceleration in preferences, and I'm downloading the drivers now. ultimatez

hmm... error goes away when you remove all Scenes. But reoccur when you create new. Even after deleting all guides. hm... yup, it's broken all right!

@mike lucey said: Would it not make sense for Google SketchUp to employ / sub-contract some of the passionate bright lights in the SketchUp Community to get SketchUp development back on track and possibly change the slogan, '3D for Everyone' to '3D as it should be'. Or, that they concentrated on the core, getting it up to date, and opened SU up even further so the community could develop all these features that we want but cannot do currently. Like better UV tools, animation enhancements, and dare I say, fixing the shadow bug. (Yes, I know its a legal matter but I've never seen any other Open GL application with this bug so there must be ways of getting around this?)

Hi Silver and welcome. I do not really understand your problem however. Could you upload some screenshots / exported images or even the skp file itself?

@wehby said: I guess it would be possible for a Ruby programmer to access the same locations.dat file to automate that process. It's just a comma-delimited text file. No problem there. Format (sorted in left-right field order): "Country", "City", Long, Lat, TZOffset Long, Lat, TZOffset are Float (W Long neg; S Lat neg; TZOffset sign ref to UTC.)

Have you recently changed any plugins ?

why of course he still would. layers don't work the same way they do in autocad. Putting things on different layers does not prevent them from cutting through one another.

try pointing your mouse to an object modeled, when the mouse is not working is because you're using the mouse on an empty part of the drawing.

The aliens don't like you discovering their secrets.

Try working on a local copy of the SKP on your PC and see if than improves the 'speed'... if it does it's the network !

That's intresting. My su crashes often with large arroway textures (not all) when exporting. Just on win x32 not on win x64

Cool! I'm attaching the kmz file, and as I am not completely sure what I am doing , I'm also attaching a screenshot of the area I need...just in case. Many thanks.

When you import in SU you have an Options button in the file dialog. From there you must select the unit the imported file is it. SU does not detect the correct size.

@anssi said: I think you have to use an administrator account to be able to authorize SU. Anssi Hi Anssi - or others. It's been a while - but still have the same problem. I'm also an administrator on my office iMac. Then why can't I be allowed to insert my license number?? I really hope for some help, since I have a big project this week... Thanks in advance Lene

Thanks for the assistance. Sorry if I have caused a disturbance, the problem is now fixed. It was an issue on our end and has nothing to do with SketchUp. So sorry for the false alarm . Thanks again, this forum is always a great help. Vince

I just noticed that in another model I have, where I had imported geometry from a DWG, multiple definitions had the same name.

This is not an answer, but I had this happen when I had a USB pocket storage device plugged in during an autosave.

do you have this checked? [image: aqEM_Capture1.JPG]

Good find.

What 3D PDF exporter plugin? But anyhow, missing all the exporters is definitely a weird thing. Have you tried to reinstall SU?
