Toolbars are not included, Charlie.

@cwmunro said: I am trying to upgrade to 18 (through the Help Menu and through the SU website) and it says I'm currently using the latest version (2017). What's up with that?? Pro users should be receiving update emails in the next day or so. But, if you want to upgrade now, you can check your license status here: https://www.sketchup.com/license/renew Then you can download the new version of 2018 on the website and plug in your license info: https://www.sketchup.com/download/all

from within SU: sign out of your SketchUp / Trimble account sign back in from within SketchUp. if that doesn' work try closing and reopening SU in between the two steps above.

@tig said: Actually I rewrote the code in my version so that it remembers the current ... Any chance you could make that version available for download?

I just wondered is it cheaper to Buy Smartphone online shop, laptops - computers in Bulgaria compared to the UK.

I recall an inconsistency based on the cameras relationship to the axis... not sure if this is the same as it was many years ago... my 'memory' tells me I avoided this by moving geometry and camera so you never crossed the axis... it seemed that if any camera position included a negative, SU makes a decision whether to move clock or anti clockwise... and it's not always the same decision... does that make any sense? john

It's odd that the model axes are different in each scene.I wonder what you are doing that makes that happen.I'd love to see your workflow in more detail.

Thank You Very Much TIG!

Thanks! That does the trick

Can you confirm if its a seperate plug in? As Chipp said yes it's a plugin! And free! In fact there is even 2 different plugins as some Moi Members are very productive in this field! Elephant and a variation of Elephant! (Maybe only one with the soon new beta V 4 ? ) But don't forget with this sort of thing : it's more easy to use a "node(s)" than build its own one! Because you must have a little practice training before obtain a true gem! [image: 1280px-FREMO_Alsfeld_DSB_NSB.jpg]

@cotty said: Another way with SubD plugin... [attachment=1:2x7wscxi]<!-- ia1 -->sofa_subd.JPG<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:2x7wscxi] in this case, i had to match a photo pretty accurately. with subd i often have a hard time getting predictable results... spending a lot of time fiddling with creating quads (which i can never seem to get right) and crease strength. more practice i guess.

Hello, When SU takes longer than I expected,and when I did not save (especially for intersections), I open the autosaved version in a new window. I kept the autosave every 5 minutes in preferences, even if it's annoying while working on 100Mb+ files. This way I can work on my model while the first one is still working. (SU only uses one Core, so it shouldn't slow your PC even if it's working) You'll then get an AutoSave_AutoSave_filename.skp and so on. Just check the last autosave file's time or even open it in a new window like I do to check what you would lose in case you chose to force quit an hanging SU. Sometimes it's faster to lose 5 min work and find a workaround, SU beeing able to hang for hours !

Well, SketchUp 2015 doesn't support operating systems that are newer than it is. If he's updated the operating system, it's no wonder he's having problems. The solution is to update SketchUp. Keep in mind, SketchUp Make is for non-commercial use only. If he is using sketchUp at work, he needs to be using Pro. You do, too, if you are using SketchUp for anything other than hobby use. Your profile indicates you are using Make.

In my case, it is caused when Indigo RT sets a different aspect ratio for rendering in the active scene (for example, for a resolution of 1920x1080 or multiples of that) and when I apply these settings to the scene. In the viewport, the different aspect ratio is typically represented by vertical or horizontal gray bars. SketchUp 2017 (Make) does not cope with these settings of the render program during normal image export from the same scene and produces grey areas of different widths depending on the image resolution. Up to version SketchUp 2016 (Pro) this was no problem for me. I use version 2016 Pro for work and 2017 Make for hobby (Animation, because MSPhysics only runs with 64-bit SketchUp). Indigo RT (plugin "Skindigo") has in the menu "Skindigo Render Settings" a "Reset Camera" button, which also fixes this problem. "Advanced Camera Tools" are, I think, a pro feature.

I have a student with this error message. I've tried e-mailing, changing the file extension and importing. No luck- Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Can you screengrab the search result for me?

A quick look tells me your issue may be related to your incorrect use of layers. Worth reading up on them too.

Thanks for the example Box, It never occurred to me to bend the bottom twice! Because I sure would have! Oh well, I learned about "Smart Drop" anyaway! Chris

I have one master model w/ ~150,000 faces that I broke up into 8 or 9 sub-assemblies. To ensure a correct placement in the final product I would pick a location in the master model and draw a triangle from there to where I would create an origin point in each future sub-assembly. That gave me an exact number of meters for an XY offset. Of course that triangle would be sent off to the sub-assembly too just in case I needed to importing everything back into a master model for inspection. When I was sure I was done I'd make a copy, remove my offset triangle, and export from there. When I just needed to clear out space and work on everything separately (but always intended to produce just a single model), I'd do the reload component trick mentioned above.
