If real warehouses were organized like 3Dwarehouse we would never get delivery of anything.

New to Sketchucation and I cannot see how to raise a new post so I hope this presses the right buttons. I have recently added Sketchphysics to my SU. I've found some basic tutorials but I have hit a brick wall naming controllers. The box is blue and whenever I try and enter a name I get an error message. I have seen a post that talks of entering a name between the quotes but this did not work either. I'm trying to get on top of Sketchyphysics but so I can passs on the skills to my design students so a tad frustrated. Is there a good potted tutorial?

Surely we can crowdfund this one??

Hi TIG, thank you very much! I missed deleting the rb file and deleted only the plugin's folder and subfolder files. After deleting the rb everything is gone just like I wanted. The plugin was gkware stairmaker btw., sorry for not mentioning that, thought it wouldn't make a difference. Cheers Mikar

I have updated my Mac to current OS 10.11.1 & AmbientOcclusion plugin works well.

Sounds like a permissions issue to me ? The folder containing these assorted files... does it have FULL read/write permissions set up for all users etc in the Properties > Security > Edit dialog ? And of course, also check the equivalent permissions for all of these files too - they should inherit those from the folder's settings, but might not have ?

Make sure to save the file. If your license expires just email info@simlab-soft.com and we will send you an extended trial.

This sounds like an issue with your mouse, its drivers/settings, or your mouse technique, not with SketchUp per-se. That is, for some reason SketchUp is receiving multiple mouse input events when you press the button. Check what the system settings for the mouse are, they may be interfering with SketchUp. Can you borrow another mouse to see whether the problem is with the hardware? I don't know why you see this with newer versions but not with SketchUp 8 - perhaps they tuned up something in the GUI that used to drop almost-simultaneous mouse inputs...

you'd need to model the terrain (ie. the positions of corners as per surveying maps for your site location) correctly, set the solarnorth correctly w.r.t. the terrain then position your axis (x=0, y=0, z=0) is at can be used as reference for the actual geo-location that's how I would do it, very few project require this level of precision though, mostly just locate the model to a known location and set the solarnorth

I wonder what happens if I press this and this??

Champion, TIG! Thanks.

@box said: Often the logitech drivers can be the problem. It can be better to run the mouse with the default win drivers. Hi Box Thanks for that, worth checking out.

This sounds like the component has the glue-to behavior set. Open the Components window, click the little house icon to see "In Model", select the component and then select edit in the component window. If you see Glue To set to anything except "None", you need to change this to eliminate the glueing behavior. Note: if you originally draw the component up against another face, this behavior is set automatically unless you unselect it in the create component dialog.

Peter, Somehow, I missed your reply. Thanks for the explanation. I have some pretty minimal settings that I use for generic tune-up purposes. For me, it has served as an enhanced find and fix errors utility that has saved more than one of my models. But your points are well made and well taken. Thanks again. Phillip

@pilou said: From the site last update seems for SU 2013 ! So try if that yet work with newer SU versions Free version allows you to make 10 seconds animation! Of course sufficient for test functions but not if you want more directly! (you can also make some past of different animations if you are tricky! Prices was 50 to 200 € following versions All docs Having problems with installation. I have sent them a note. Will see if I get any reply. Might be a problem because I am running SU 2015 on Win10. I have printed off and read some of the documentation. I agree that it looks like it could be kind of complicated but powerful if I can get it going. The 10 second limit for the trial version might make it difficult to properly evaluate. @bob james said: I would recommend you take a look at SimLab Soft http://www.simlab-soft.com/index.aspx I will give it a look............

consider paying for the upgrade to v15 Pro while you can, I think you and your new system deserve it as a retirement gift... john

On El Capitan it does exactly what you describe: global menu bar and dock hide.
