No one using a Mac Pro?

I'm not sure what other aspects of sketchup may be lost?...But saving as sketchup version 6 or below removes dynamic attributes, retaining the component and sub components.

Hi Aaron, i downloaded the Build edge Plan and installed it on diverent Versions of Sketchup. it is not possible to test it, allways i get the message "Build Edge pro has expired". 3 years ago i worked with this Plugin and Sketchup 2014, I was very pleased and all worked fine. i also tryed to install my old version, but i think it's not longer working, the last years i had not installed Sketchup and Build Edge plan. Now i would buy Build edge plan, but when i click on "buy" I will be forwarded to a Domain "http://store.buildedge.com/" Where there is no possibility to buy the Plugin ??? Please send me information how i can buy Build edge plan. Attached a Mail from 2014 for info. Sorry my bad englisch, i hope you can help me. best regards Rudolf E-mail from Brendon Studholme 2014 E-Mail from 2014

It might be an installation issue... If you have set the SketchUp.exe file's properties to always 'run as administrator' [or you right-click it and 'run as administrator'] this can mask issues which resulted from an incorrect installation initially [see later]. The downside of setting SketchUp this way is that you then prevent Image drag'n'drop. Windows Explorer always runs at the base level of permissions. Elevating SketchUp's permissions above that then causes an issue. Windows does not allow an application to affect another application running at a higher level. So drag'n'drop no longer works ! Change the setting[s] and drag'n'drop should work once again... SketchUp needs to be installed properly. Select the SketchUp installer's exe file, and right-click > context-menu > 'Run as administrator' This will ensure it installs and then runs properly later on. Being the admin, or having admin powers, is not the same as running it 'properly'... If you already have SketchUp installed you probably don't need to reinstall it from scratch. Close SketchUp, then run the installer as administrator as outlined above. When prompted choose 'Repair'. When SketchUp restarts all should be correct. Any Plugins etc should be remembered as before... If you still have problems try uninstalling and immediately reinstalling - running as admin etc...

The issue popped up again recently. Found it to be a Skatter issue after all. I could pull it up on a machine without Skatter plug in installed with ease...would hang forever on my machines that had Skatter installed. Went in and purged/deleted the Skatter reference on the non-Skatter machine....saved then opened in my Skatter machine (no problem) - then redefined the Skatter perimeters...and works like a charm. Unsure what the hang up is and once redefined the problem hasn't occurred again.

Thanks again box

TIG, Thanks, that did the trick! I didn't see those edges in there, until you posted a screenshot showing them, that's why. I deleted the extrusion the way you said and then drew a line over part of the "holes" which caused the face to form and that fixed that issue. I'm not sure why that caused a face to form, but it did. Now I can recess or raise the logo as needed. I've attached what I have done thus far. Thanks for all the help.

what Rich said. Also check out the sub forum for SubD and look for the thread "upholstered furniture" by Alvis in the gallery sub forum.

I found the problem My old pc worked well with my 2 5 year old 32" screens So I hooked the Mac mini up to my 65" in the living room and I could change the resolution to fit When I tried it with the smaller screen the resolution I needed wasn't there Put it back on the big one.... no problem Thanks for all your help

You can also get the transferring rotated axis if you inference your plane with the rotation tool, and then press one time the down arrow on your keyboard. This blocks that inference in place and lets you put the rotation tool in the position you want.

Your profile says you work on SU2014. Take a look at Toolbar Editor.

There's a subscription page. You should have an account. Set it up if you haven't at the Valiarchitects site. Save the page in browser. For me it just comes up with my full info every time I select the bookmark. Your browser setup may work differently. There are renew buttons lower on the subscription page.

Yes perfect things are a long way! In any case very productive products! About the free Fluid Designer above : maybe a cool trick for use Blender like a SketchUp user! Without Cycle render...so nothing to do! [image: 7yL9_blender_cuisine.jpg]

Thanks

NIce. better get learning then...

@box said: If your preferences window is hiding off screen so you can't get to the reset workspace button, Go Window/Preferences (to get the focus on this window even though you can't see it)then hit alt and space together, then m, then any arrow key once, now move the mouse around, without clicking it, until the window comes into view. Dam your good!

Yes, I forgot you shared that previously. Great find. Wish it allowed for scaling of the templates.

Thank You cery much TIG. Kaspersky setting is so complex. Happily I have found that Application Control has had a control on blocking Sketchup functions. Bizarre enough Sketchup.exe has been fully allowed. Finally I have removed all Sketchup presence from Kadpersky list and activated App Control within Kaspersky and...I think I have managed to fix the mysterious blocking. Once more thank you for your taking precious time dropping a line here. My best regards.
