I got everything on except for the "Creator Owner" But yes, it appears to have disappeared into "VirtualStore". Thanks!

SketchUp has known issues when plugins use certain techniques such as view.draw_text on high dpi displays. The text (or other graphic) comes out tiny and the only way a user can enlarge it is to shift to a lower dpi display mode (which, of course, decreases the resolution of everything on the screen). Hopefully Trimble will address this someday, as it make certain plugins nearly unusable.

First off.. Anything scaled in sketchup is going to export skewed and off.. So, always save as new and explode everything before exporting to dwg/dxf. If that doesn't work. Open it up in Revit and export it from there. Works everytime

I last opened the file yesterday before everything went poof. I will make those changes as you have.

Thanks for the help guys, I got in to see an email from them this morning telling me that they hadn't received my email at all. Not sure where that's gone; lost in the ether of the internet somewhere.

I'd love to watch you do the Lander... [image: http://www.judydouglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Apollo-11-moon-landing-4.jpg]

That's fair, it was just a bit confusing, your "Noobyness" comment suggested that you may have simply downloaded the models and therefore had no real understanding of sketchup, rather than just a gap in your knowledge.

You won't get the horse power out of a laptop that could get from a desktop, but an ideal 3D system would be running 2x Xeon processors and the best Nvidia Quadro you can afford. You might want to make sure that your settings are optimized for 3D graphics.

Bump. I think back to the days of model challenges for Halloween and Christmas--which I enjoyed a lot but I don't think I ever felt good enough to join in. Maybe folks would like to make some Christmas cards and share them. Maybe we'll put snow on our current clients' house models for the Holidays and share with them (though the houses will be in California).

Ah, yes.

do you mean you wish to see two different folders at the same time? like this on a mac...[image: not sure if windows does this, but is it what you mean?] also I know on mac you need to create a User path 'Components' folder for SU to auto load them... if you don't actually use Dropbox for sharing, move all the folder to the User/Components, or link the content so SU can find them. john

Using the Upload Attachment can you upload the actual model if it isn't too big?

Thank you all for the advice. Rich - Well, I'm always being told I'm stubborn! At last it might pay off! Nemerobis - You're probably right, but I don't want to purchase & have to learn a third program just now. I have looked at Blender too - but another (difficult) learning curve. Hellnbak - Good idea, I'll look for those programs. Personally, I like to read a manual read, hence going for the tutorial e-books. Cars are not exactly my passion but a great deal of my business is indirectly for Mercedes-Benz so it would be an advantage. PS. looking forward to seeing the moon buggy!

@krisidious said: select that plane you created. right click on the face and choose intersect with model. this will create the slice of geometry you want. Before you do this, you should group that face and do the intersection in the context of that group. This way, you can be sure that nothing else gets affected by the intersection.

No problem, I didn't remember that I have answered it there

Whatever happened to Euclideon Geoverse?

Thank you Box! That was it.

I have a similar problem. I built a new machine, changed from a 660 TI to a 270x graphics cards, which are neck and neck in performance. But on my new machine, SketchUp looks horrible. Ive got the latest drivers, hardware acelleration and nothing else checked in preferences, with the highest quality selected. Tried other threads like here like http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=57614%26amp;p=524089%26amp;hilit=Anti+Aliasing#p524089 except I didnt try the registry delete thing,Im a bit nervous about doing that. Anyone had anything similar happen to them, and where they able to fix it? I should say Im using Windows 7 64 bit in both cases.

Sorry about delay in replying. 2014 is fine. That is so very nice of you to write a plugin to do what I am after. Thank you so very much.

@twdant said: .........I keep having an issue where only the innermost plane will actually cut, the others make lines on the geometry where the cuts should be, but don't actually cut and hide the material on the opposite side of the plane. It seems like this might be a bug because the material that should be hidden is not clickable. I've attached a screen dump picture for reference....... I can't make anything of the uploaded file. But in general, see if you have mirrored groups or components with section planes inside. They won't work like they are supposed to, this is a bug. Top level or nested, doesn't matter. It's that section planes just do not work properly inside the grouped environment. The wrong side is visible but not selectable while when being in editing context all seems to be correct. See if this applies to your situation.
