I bought a 2016 Sketchup Pro license and was pleased that I could get Sketchup 2016 to run under wine in Ubuntu Linux!

However, the Sketchup "Add License" button doesn't work! Nothing happens when you press it.
The temporary license has run out, so I can't use it until this licensing problem is sorted out.

I have exactly the same problem with SU pro 2015 and Su pro 2016.
There are however no problems with installing my Su pro 2014 version.
I am running these version with play on linux on my ubuntu machine.
If somebody of the Sketchup team is reading this, please consider at least working together with the wine developers to make a working version for linux for the next release.

Even i was hoping it would be fixed... damn it!

Space bar is very worn down. I have totally customized all of my keyboard shortcuts. For some reason I just always click this icon to 'clear' everything as I work. Weird I know but fighting a decade of habit.

Rest All brought it back! Thanks BOX!!!

This happens a lot, with files that are on either of my internal drives, my 500GB SSD or my 1TB HD. The current file I'm having problems with is 58MB.

Using Sketchup 2015 for exporting an "animation set", I have encountered a pixel resolution limitation of 3840x2160. In previous versions of Sketchup, I was able to export animation sets with the same parameters available for exporting a 2D Graphic, which would be 9999x5653.

When doing a finished animation, I routinely render at 3 or 4 times the desired resolution and then size the images down to a usable size such as 1920 x 1080. This process is essentially a poor man's anti aliasing.

It would be great to have the full resolution capacity back in the Export> Animation> Image set routine!!!

Have you tried adjusting various combinations for your Graphics Card's settings in SketchUp's Preferences > OpenGL ?
What is the card and what are its settings ?
Has the card's driver updated recently ?
What is your MAC's OS ?
Has that updated recently ?

Have since tried switching all options off then one option at a time.
Still no joy.

If the model was fine in 14 I can't see the problem apart from something in the code or OS X
maybe even the hardware ??

was this issue addressed afterwards? I am still seeing it happen.

I've seen a similar report.
It emanates from the way it was installed initially.
Try uninstalling, then freshly reinstalling v2015.
This time do NOT double-click the icon for the installer's exe file - even if you have 'admin-powers' - instead you should select its icon > context-menu > 'Run as Admin...'
That way it's installed proeprly.

Another thing to do is after it's installed find the SketchUp.exe file in the Program Files, SketchUp folder and context-menu > Compatibility > 'Always run this program as an administrator' should always be ticked [you'll need 'admin-powers' to do that]

PS: Please update your User Info to suit the version you end up using... 😄

Is this because you are using Preview as the texture editor? I use GIMP--maybe this works with Yosemite? Albeit I am not using Yosemite.

Explain why the center mouse button isn't mapped to Orbit like it is supposed to be.

mapped to orbit??
do you mean this icon? it appears, and at the same time, "side'' will be changed to "value". Sorry, English is not my monther tongue.

Although the Model Materials are the ones you see in the Materials-Browser, SketchUp has two other types of Materials - those associated with Layers and those associated with Images.
These cannot be directly accessed using native tools or the API - although there are tricks, like my SKM_tools which has a new_material = image.use_as_material method, which can be used to extract an Image's Material and add it to the Model without Exploding the Image.
If you Explode an Image its Material has a database flag reset so it then appears in then the Model's Materials list [renamed].
It seems that in the case of this Image when it was made into a Material that flag was not reset properly.
Even saving the texture-image as a PNG and reusing that, it still is missing in the Materials-Browser !
On a PC the only way I found of jerking it back into reality was to edit the group-container, select the face that uses the wayward Material [named "Image1"] and use the right-click > context-menu > "Make Unique Texture" - so now the Material "Image1" is duplicated as "Image1#1" - however, you can then rename it "Image1" with no errors, so the origin has vanished... and now all is well !
😕

What do you see. Grayed out menus? What happens?

Can you screengrab the issue?

Wow. That is an expensive fix.

That was demo version 😉

Got a sample model?

I think I may have found a solution (at least for the problem I experienced):

disable 'redefine thumbnail on save' in 'model info - file'.
Saving is instantly again in any display mode.

Great!!! Thank You ! 👍

load "some_text_file_in_the_load_path"

always returns true unless there is an error.

require "some_text_file_in_the_load_path"

only returns true if that file has never been loaded before during that session.

Sketchup's own require and load are designed to work with text files [typically RB files] OR its specialized compiled RBS files,
Oddly Sketchup::load is actually an alias of Sketchup::require - so both of them will return false if the file has been loaded before.
So when testing use ' load' instead !
Compile the RB to RBS if desired and use Sketchup's method to load it - only when you've debugged the code...

Sketch up 2015 Model info dialog / Purge does not respond
I assume you mean Model Info > Statistics > Purge unused...
Is this 'issue' the same with every Model ?
What size is your 'problem model' ?
How many components, materials, layers etc does it have ?
When you say it "doesn't respond", what happens exactly ?
Maybe it's taking some time to purge everything ??
Maybe it's found nothing [or very little] to purge, and it's actually finished ???
