I did the workaround mentioned in this thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14774 And I now get the Generate Report on this machine as well.

Well, we are ll using SU so workarounds are our best friends Anyway, I have also reported this bug and hope it will be addressed soon as after the main release there are generall some minor patches to fix newly appeared bugs.

Ah, I indeed looked at your profile when answering sometimes when I click on the SU window,it sys "not responding" or omething (and its icon goes away) but it's still working. @gus r said: This is the same as when I export a jpg (it looks like it crashed but it hasn't). Well, what I noticed with SU 7 particular that its image export is much faster. Before, with SU 6 I wasn't even able to export anything at max (9999 pixel) size and with SU 7, a 9999 pixel wide png and 9600 pixel wide tiff (!) exported in just about 2 minutes.

I also got some crash problems with SU 7.... I have Vista and Nivida grafic...

thanks remus, i think i'll go back to su6 unless i find a work around.

Indeed the FM tool (as well as intersect) has issues with creating faces whose edges are about 1mm or 1/16". It used to have this problem in V 5 and 6 as well. The general workaround is to temporarily scale everything up (say by 10), do the FM then scale back.

OK, not sure what I did. However, I have been trying to learn how to make DC components. Sketchup was shutting down every time I tried to scale the Google fence DC component, and I thought because I had some how changed the formula in the picket section this was causing the problem. However I now see that was not the case. I went to purge all components in the model. Sketchup flashed an on screen error message and shut down. The message was to fast these old eyes, so I don’t know what the error was. So I started Sketchup again and while I was working I was using a components directory call rigging, and when I wanted to go to another component directory I notice that all of my components directories, even the directory called rigging had been erases on the hard drive. The component directory was empty. Note, using Vista, which I do not trust. I have back up on back up. However, I could still get the recent component directory open, and pick a rigging components. Now, where are they being stored? Sketchup was now stopping when I did any scaling on any rigging component. So I did a repair install. But still having the problem of Sketchup shutting down. Can’t seem to be able to get rid of the recent directory of rigging components. They don’t show up in the Sketchup 7 directory. Found out that Ver 7 was using Ver 6’s rigging component directory. Renamed the directory and it stopped showing up in recent used section. So now, everytime I purge Sang, Sketchup stops. Also, I don’t remember that the component directory had to get online to Google to down load the basic set of components. As I remember, once they were downloaded, they stayed on your computer. Not now, I have to down load again and again the basic components from Google. I pass this along, because if you don’t have your components backed up, they may disappear. If I can’t get this resolved soon I will need to go back to Ver 6 to finish this project. Any help would be appreciated. Ken

I keep getting a bugsplat everytime I try to edit a model. I even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.. Is there a way other to fix it? ~Oh, also in top view "By pressing the top view icon" the model cannot be selected when I click on it.. But when I rotate it a little bit -it can be selected.. Is there a way to fix it? It also happens in the side, front & back view.

You have to use the email address you created your WH account with. Like with every Google service,the "login name" is always the email address. It's a different issue that SU will recognise your WH "nickname" and when you claim credit for a model, it will automatically write that.

Thanks Andrew with the heads up - if I se any such behaviour, I will also redirect the person to this thread.

@jackson said: Yep, you can move it to SCF bug reports if you like. Done... There are always smaller diffe3rences between what the download link shows and the real file size but IMO a difference up to about 50 or even more percent should not count for "normal". And what if you are challenging the 10 Mb upload limit?

Noticed another thing. I had selected some faces like this: [image: file.php?id=17984&mode=view] When I minimize and restore, the selected edges are now suddenly smooth. I'm now seeing the opposite effect I saw from the V-Ray light sphere. What gives? Such oddity.

Thanks, Gaius, that's exactly what I was doing. I'm guessing the grouping thing is some sort of funk on my computer, if others can't duplicate it with this file. Best, Jim

You Nailed it, this is a known issue on our part about non-English characters handling on the Mac. We are working on it. Simone.

Im having the same problem.... for some reason su 7 just really sucks compared to 6, glitches and splats everywhere. I have to toggle between projected and regular model space just to work on the stupid thing half the time. Mabee has something to do with the free version? I had to reformat my harddrive and I lost all my pro student versions....

Blouboy, Have about the same hardware you have(PowerBook G4, 17inch, 1,67Mhz, 1,5 GB memory, ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphic card, Mac OSX 10.4.11, SU hardware acceleration and fast feedback on) and of course SU 7 installed. I have tried all kind of different things, using the right mousebutton, but nothing abnormal. I cann't repeat your screenflashing/blinking at all. I am sorry I cann't help you. The only thing I can say is that it isn't a general Mac problem. I hope you find a solution. If so please keep us informed, others might encounter the same behaviour.

Hi folks. A follow-up with the cylinder. I made my test with hiden geometry hidden. If hidden geometry is visible, the result is as it was with the cube. Sliding the Section plane toward the cylinder axis, will create more facets outside the group and remove them from the cylinder inside the group. This can be verified with the statistics. Just ideas.

The first thing to do is install the latest drivers and see if that helps, often out dated (or the wrong) drivers can cause lots of problems. As for a graphics card list, have a look here: http://groups.google.com/group/SketchUp/web/graphics-card-feedback?hl=en

sorry to be slow saying thanks for the hekp with the spirograph problem - your fix worked a treat, and so far no noticeable slowing down in SU7.

Hi Guys, it is a known bug in SU. It is also noticeable when you use images with transparent parts although then the method to paint the back face seems to help. I am also "investigating" this for a proper bug report. It doesn't seem to always behave the same way - I for instance have a model of a church and when I look through the windows, all the opposite walls are "transparent" (like in your image) but the pillars (nested components) inside, supporting the vaulting, are not. Yes,definitely annoying. If you don't mind,I am moving this topic to the Sketchup > Bug reports subforum.
