Bonjour,

Je travaille sur la version Su Pro 8.0.16845 actuellement.
Lorsque que je veux lance "générer un rapport", la fenêtre s'ouvre, mais reste blanche. Puis rien ne se passe.
Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà eu ce problème, et réussi à le résoudre, svp ?

Jkiffer

Thanks Dave for the answer, so simple.
More thanks to Edson for asking the question !

😉
too much work to do for the Trimble team ¡

25 right now... burrrrrr...

Is there a way to "end" the command?

you can switch tools.. (spacebar for select.. E gives the eraser. etc.)

but i think you're better off, at least in the exact scenario you posted, if you:

draw the shapes with no fill..
split everything
join everything
style to fill the shape with color (which is weird at first because you're so used to sketchup and it's faces.. you have to click an edge to fill it..)

This is how I put my work together. I have been using this system for years and I have had no major issues yet "touch wood".

Each project I start is assigned the next sequential number. My next project will be No 0147.

From now on every reference file to this project all start with 0147, and all go in a sub directory of the project folder 0147. So at a glance I know where any file belongs. This goes for all images, invoices, letters, drawings, models etc etc etc.

I number my drawings as: 0147-AA-13-001-REV-A01

0147 – Project No:
AA – Normally Clients Initials
13 – The year
001 – Drawing No:
REV –A01 – Revision No: A01, A02, A03 – This allows for a lot of revisions on the same Dwg No:

This is how I have it all structured on the PC:
DIR Structure.jpg

On larger projects I keep the Drawing No’s all the same and only update Sheet No’s when Saved/exported/plotted as there are always several drawings on one sheet. I always keep an Excel sheet with the created Sheet no’s on and a brief description of each sheet. This is more a check list for submitting to local authority of what is being submitted.

I don’t have an issue with different consultants having out of date drawings as I tend not to release anything significant until the client has OK’d everything. But if I do update anything of significance I would forward the drawings on to one and all involved as a matter of course. I don't have an issue with people not finding files on my system, as there is only me 😐

The biggest pain “AutoCAD” is to keep an eye on your model space editing. I do not just do one elevation per dwg file or one floor plan per dwg file. I keep multiple instances of each project all in the same dwg file, including all revisions [save as]. This is much better to cross ref your work, but it’s a pain if you have 10x A1 sheets, with 6-8 drawings on each sheet, then trying to find the corresponding drawing in model space of a particular viewport in paper space. This calls for creating a large grid in model space and labelling each one with the paper space sheet no/viewport. Then each drawing goes in its own grid.

This doesn’t happen in SU. I do use more than one model for each project. I think the last project had about 4-5 models? not counting the scrapbook or detail drawings.

[Extensions & Alterations]
Model 01 - The existing Building & site plan
Model 02 - I take model 01 [save as] and edit it to do all the structural work, openings in existing building etc.
Model 03 - I take model 02 [save as] and add the new build parts to it.
Model 04 - I take model 03 [save as] and break it apart to show construction & detailing.
Model 05 – etc etc

Then my LO file will just reference each of these models as and when required.

I only use multiple models when the design is complete as it saves creating lots of extra scenes and hiding layers/components/styles etc. It’s just easier and less of a headache. Plus it's an easy "Start again" method if everything changes drastically.

Gaz...

[Edit]
I forgot to mention I always keep all files in all folders organised as: [Sort by DATE] this way they are all listed in the correct order.

Yes, I like the overall look! Nice work.

in the 'shape style' panel, click on the 'fill' button (i.e.- turn off the fill behavior)

Thank you David & David,

I guess I had Senior Moment.

Everyone on this site has been so helpful. I must learn to try harder before troubling you.

Have also, as requested updated my profile.

Thank you again.

Andrew

I would highly recommend that you shift to doing all your text in LO including the dimensions. If you must have dimensions displayed in SU, put the on a layer you can turn off after you've put them in in LO or simply select all the dimensions SU and delete them when you are finished with them.

@dave r said:

Yep. You're certainly the first person to point it out on SCF this year. 😉

this year i see 😄 , has this thing been earlier reported too? 💭

Thanks. That was the info I was looking for.

Anne, is it possible that the active layer on which you are attempting to create your text is lower in the list than the layer on which the title block is placed? If so, your text is just being placed underneath. Unlike SketchUp's layers, the order of the layers in LayOut matter.

Yes I was coming to that solving too. I needed a comma in dimensioning rectangles before but now it's back to semicolon........no big change.....the best was shape style with rounded ends in the 'small lines' of some dash patterns

You would likely find it useful to set the text for text boxes and labels while you're at it. As TIG says, if you find you always need to change text size to something else for new projects, you should be making a template that is appropriate for your use.

You can also sample an existing text box or other entity and apply its characteristics to new ones going forward by selecting the tool, Dimensions in your case, and hitting S. Click on the already modified dimension to sample it and go on with your dimensioning.

Nick,
Would you have any of your scrapbooks publicly available? Seems like you've developed a nicely organized set.
Beautiful work.
Mark

Will answer my own question 😳 Uncheck 'stroke' in Shape style tray!

Try opening the Layout program, not by selecting a layout file, but by opening from scratch. Typically when you do this layout will give you an option to recover crashed files. I haven't had Layout crash in a long time now, so I'm sorry, I can't answer your specific question.

Nick

Ah. That wasn't the plural form as in "all y'all" 👍

Sweet!
