FYI: I added support for bugged circles in my Selection Toys plugin. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=14975 If you select all entities and then Right-click->Select Only->Circles it'll select all the circles - even those that SU claims are arcs and incorrectly reports as 720 degrees.

It was actually just a guess - I never use images just textures. Therefore I didn't know (wasn't sure) it displays as an image either.

Beautiful! Thank you guys. I sincerely appreciate it.

tanxx aniway... hope somone will solve that bug.!!

Thank you kwistenbiebel for throwing light on this. It is a great pity that SU team has not yet solved this. With best regards PRSS

If you're asking to me: ATI Radeon HD4850 Yes, ATI Any model with blueprints or textures Yes, the latest

No luck. I went in firewall settings and allowed SU. I even restarted the computer and still can't connect.

Oh, good to hear this. I guess they both hang on the memory too much (but I'm not a very technically educated person to tell it sure).

Have you looked at Model Info> Rendering> Anit-Aliased Textures, uncheck the box to see if that makes any difference, just a thought

@anssi said: @thomthom said: I wonder if this is since SU7? It's been there before. The issue gets worse when you mix SU transparency with transparent PNG materials. Anssi I use them alot for billboard vegetation and people...

Curious luck: i removed simplbeam.rb and the problem went away!

Sigh, Thom... Don't draw shapes like that then. But yes, it happens. "As if..." however I'd remembered such a bug / report already - just not sure "where".

@andrews said: @aceshigh said: Dunno what is happening. It was a long time that I didnt connect Sketchup with GoogleEarth. But now I decided to make some 3D models for my area... and guess what? Sketchup cant IMPORT GoogleEarth terrain, neither it can EXPORT a model to be geographically positioned in GoogleEarth. I dunno what to do. Anyone has any idea? I have tons of plugins installed... maybe one of them is causing the problem? AcesHigh, I can't tell from your message or your profile whether you're using Mac or Windows. Nevertheless, I can at least say that recently, there was a problem with a release of Google Earth that broke SketchUp integration on Mac. The problem was located quickly and a new version of Earth was pushed out to correct the issue, but not before many customers were automatically upgraded to the broken version. Let's try manually forcing Earth to look for updates. Perhaps you're running on an outdated version and your problem will go away if you upgrade. In Google Earth, go to Help...Check for Updates Online. That's what it is on Mac; I can't remember for Windows. If an update is available, download and install it. Then try again. Let us know what you find. Andrew Hi Andrews. I am using Vista 64. I dont think the problem is with GoogleEarth... because... well, because I installed an older version of Sketchup (Skt 6) and it worked flawlessly with GoogleEarth. Its only the currently installed Sketchup7 that can communicate with GoogleEarth. I didnt want to uninstall it because of the tons of plugins I have, VRAY, etc...

remus is right. graphic card may be the source of your problem. under the OpenGl on preferences, untick "use hardware acceleraion"

Hi folks. I made this constatation when I discovered SU at version 3. It has always been working like that, I think. Try scaling by 10000. You will need two scaling operations by 0.01 each to get back to original size. I dont think that this is a bug but rather a limit for the allowed number used as a scale factor. To my knowledge, the lower limit is very close to 0,001. If you type 0,001 you get an error message. However, if you type 0,00100000001 it will work. MAybe this is a bug after all and 0,001 should be allowed. Then, why not 0,0001 ? Just ideas.

this is terrible news for me, i'm modeling a building with lots of in and out bits like colums and insets and whenever i project it adds all kinds of anoying faces for me to clean up, almost like shinging a light at the object and anywhere it would shadow it cuts faces into the mesh.. i can't see where this is a good idea.. of for any reason, i would just rather the texture to be smeared on those..

Thanks! I'm an idiot. Should really read the instructions some time.

i found out myself. they were to the left of my primary display. i put them there when i had my secondary display to the left of my primary one, and thats where SU saved their position

@linea said: This method works; Go to C, program files, google, sketchup. Find the the SU boot icon, Leave that window open while you find an existing SU file. Drag the existing su file over the top of the SU boot icon. Sketchup opens fine. Thank you, but I can't try it (you know, now I have XP again). As I said before, I think the problem is in the drivers I installed for my graphics card.

Ha. Good to hear it worked. (PC's are so mysterious that often you just feel like a fresh install is the only solution )
