You should have updated the information on your OS from the beginning then. You think updating viewports in LayOut is "clunky" but exporting new images and replacing the old ones isn't? Wow!

Hi folks, since I change my hard drive and reinstall my operating system from a backup, everything came back fine. have a nice day

Haha, embarassingly, that worked - I had forgotten to clear IE's cache - extraordinary how slow IE 11 is when you've become used to modern browsers. For anyone else facing the same problem: Close all instances of SU Open Internet Explorer Go to tools > safety and clear all cache Open http://www.google.com/ncr Then open https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com Close Internet Explorer Open Sketchup 3D warehouse, add location etc should now be working. Thanks for correcting my noobishness cotty

I had the same problem working in a Laptop and another monitor connected to it. I could not even see the window "Preferences", so it was impossible to "Reset Workspace". I found just one solution: Disconnect the external monitor, then all windows were shown in the laptop screen.

I see the error is the same except the scenarios are different. What I can now tell is that I haven't uninstalled the old Windows, as I wanted to see the differences and I was a bit reserved about this ssd(second hand bought). So I accessed the old Windows and guess what? No error when I wake it up from sleep and also the time for waking up is shorter,way shorter- it wakes up almost instantly. On the old Windows , I didn't had all the updates installed, but the Nvidia driver was up to date. I assume there is a problem with the Windows updates.. It wouldn't be such a big problem, but I have the habit of putting the computer at sleep for at least two, three times a day, letting all the programs opened. Unsuspected are the ways of IT ! Edit 1 I have found that on the old Windows, OpenGL is version 1 and on the new one is 3.3 . Where does the OpenGL versions comes from ? I'll have to search for the patch that updates the OpenGl version. Edit 2 They are now both versions 3.3, but there is something different, they are different... and I have same stuff installed on both versions. The one that is from july is the one that works fine... [image: HSL5_Untitled-1.jpg] [image: nUjn_Untitled-2old.jpg]

I also use a Quadro 4000. Great graphics card that reads well the "polygonal". I have not noticed a malfunction with SU 2014, but you should to inform the support of Trimble.

Where did you attach the screen grab? Is it possible the section cut is inside a group or component that doesn't contain the uncut components?

This behavior still exists in Sketchup 2014 version 14.1.1282 It happens with ARCs and POLYGONs, but not CURVEs or EDGEs. @tig said: You don't even need to group the arc, just scale the raw arc in one axis [it becomes a curve] and its displayed length remains as it was originally NOT as it now is. Only if you explode and weld back into a new curve does the correct length get returned... This is because an Arc has some special properties - when you scale it it becomes a curve BUT it remembers it used to be an arc - therefore it displays its original arc length [confusingly]. To see this draw an arc, select it and use Entity Info to see its length, scale it in one axis x2, its displayed length doesn't change, it's 'Type' is shown as 'curve'. Now rescale it back on the same one axis x0.5 so it returns to the original scaling - the length doesn't change BUT the type changes back to 'Arc' as it somehow remembers what it used to be before it was scaled. IF you scale the arc in two axes it remains an 'arc' AND its length is reported correctly. If you explode the one-axis-scaled arc and weld it into a curve, then gets its length is displayed correctly again, the scale the curve and its displayed length adjusts to suit - so an 'arc' is a special case and if scaled in one axis it will not return its scaled length, unless you remove its 'arc-ness' by exploding it and welding back the bits into a 'true' curve, which will then behave logically... I think it's a bug that should be addressed in an update... It's been officially reported to the powers that be.

@solo said: C:/ProgramData/Google Sketchup 7 Delete that folder and reinstall. found a solution: update my graphic card driver directly from the ATI website (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650) the update from windows control panel, did'nt work

Sweet, just changing 16:9 to custom allows for the larger exports. Appreciate the help!

I would love to be able to group and organize scenes. Of course, I would love to group and organize layers natively, too...

Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated. Will have to convert the imperial data into corresponding Metric then....

Everything s working fine for me, too. I am not seeing any of the issues you are see in,g Jean. Of your four plugins, I have Engineering Toolbox installed

Good catch, Carsten.

actually double clicking on poping window should be ok

Weird. My screen shot was from my Win7, 64-bit machine with SU2014. nVidia card but I don't remember the number. Have you checked for driver updates recently?

The official forum to post a bug. Looking to other posts on this forum... I have not the impression that the SU team is on this forum.

I never have the outliner open when I'm working... It always slows operations and navigation of the model.

Thanks Cotty. I did try changing the face styles. The style of the model did change but not for what was already colored. I made a model outside the group and the default colors applied. But I don't understand why I cannot paint the default color back to the colored surfaces. I did it before plenty of times. Sometimes it is necessary when working with the UV plugins. I will try and remember about the monochrome view. Thanks again.
