Hi Barry Thanks a ton for the link and the guidance. I have downloaded the tool but can't figure out how to set up the two options for the middle button state. (Please pardon my dumb IQ! . Could you (or anyone) please guide on what should be the settings ...? Help would be greatly appreciated and yes, I do intend buying a beer & cookies for the author, he truly needs a big donation to bring out a product like that. Someone kindly help. Thanks !!! Ar.

Bummer.

@unknownuser said: SU2013 license will that work with SU8? The SU2013 Pro license number won't turn a SU8 into Pro. Everything else has been answered, Norbert's suggestion is probably the best you can do.

SketchUp is primarily a 3D modeller. As such when you draw a rectangle on the ground plane as in your example, the expectation is that you'll make that 3D and so it places the outside or front face down. The blue faces is expected to become the inside of the bottom of the 3D shape. There's nothing wrong with that.

I couldnt do without 1001bit and profile builder

Hmmm... I reviewed the stadium as it stands (according to a sketchup warehouse model that seems to be very close to the pictures I could find, the 2010 original poster's proposal, and the youtube video of the new design (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bza_mEkYALg). I do see some similarities. It especially seems that both the 2010 proposal and the new design seem to pull the end seats closer to the field, but there are significant differences, also. For instance, the 2010 proposal uses the existing building basically as is, replacing the roof over it. The new design significantly adds to the building. Also, some of the "design elements" highlighted in the original pictures are actually what the stadium looks like now, and both the 2010 proposal and the new design utilize them. [image: s01.jpg] I would be surprised if the person or persons doing the schematic design didn't see the 2010 proposal, but there is a lot of work that was done. The roof lines are very similar, but that seems to be more a matter of form following function. It looks like there has been some engineering for the new design roof, and the new design uses a different support system. [image: s02.jpg] Most strikingly the interior has a much different look: [image: s03.jpg] The pillar spacing seems to be the same, but I am not sure if that is a function of design or engineering. So, in my opinion, while some areas seem to be inspired by the 2010 proposal that was in the warehouse, the new proposal has significant differences and seems to have a lot more engineering in the roof supports. I suspect that the similarities that do exist are functional, not design, and probably would not support a legal action. Of course, the laws in Europe may differ significantly from the laws in the US, and that might make a difference.

Are you trying to export back edges? Back edges are a raster thing so there's no vector lines to export. You could switch to Wireframe, though.

Mac1 Interesting read. I too do not buy canned computers, but put the components together myself. That way I get the performance and upgrade path to my liking, not some generalized box. HP, while they make very good computers allow very little non-HP upgrades. Dell is similar. You said your ISP charges extra for WIFI. Cut that cord!!! Get a simple cheaper non-WIFI modem from them. Then buy a WIFI Router and install it between the PC and Modem. That also gives you 4 LAN connections, or 3 free for other devices. Try to get a good high power router, especially if you have a large house or multi story house. Set it up on WPA and register every WIFI device (friends and relatives too) that will connect to it. You just need to define the devices MAC address to the router, and the password to the device. That way they automatically log in when booted or come in range. Nobody else can get in, even if they know the password. ISP WIFI Modems usually just need a password, their password, and the modem ID. I have a Cisco router. You can access the Administrator page from any registered device, or the PC with just its static IP Addr, Admin name and password. It also has a Guest access for ad-hoc access with a separate Password.

Thank you Derek, but I am running a Windows 7 Asus tablet. The hard drive is ~32GB. Windows is taking up the majority of that, hence why I am looking to convert to Linux. But I do not want to loose the capability to view/show SU models on the tablet.

TIG, That's one of those "duh" moments. Not looking at the VCB. I've never done that. Thank you.

@krisidious said: a lot of autocad drawings I import are just slightly off at intersection close zoom. Whatsmore it's so small that you have to zoom way in just to see it. I have seen those... a lot.

'Scuse me, not thinking write this AM, I shall just scale the bleeping thing up and remove the problem at base point. Yes obvious I know, I just had to work it out with a pencil and a very long spoon...........

I couldn't get it to work properly, I can't control position of the books on the shelf and their orientation (this is probably because I have a model that doesn't follow standard axes orientation)

Added Info: I just renamed both folder and rb to get them out of the picture and re-installed TT_Lib 2.9.1 from Store again - same result. And - yes - I exit SU8 and then restart.

@cwmunro said: Okay - It's official, I'm a moron today! I had my numbers lock key off. Geez! I can assure you that you're not the only one. (me, but don't tell anyone) Same thing when trying to orbit in whichever "non-orbitable" program.... until you relize........

validate that this is a real DWG (and not another format with a renamed file extension) by opening in the free Teigha Viewer f. Mac OS X v10.6+. hth, Norbert

Excellent - did Google for such! ta!

Barry, that worked just fine for me on my MacBook Pro. Thanks.

That script is pretty dated - newer versions of SketchUp allow you to get the volume of a selected solid group/component directly in Entity Info. This manual example is really what you are seeking to be automated ? [image: vGiz_Capture.PNG]
