It's under the Edit tab in Styles, now. Click on the blue cube icon and you'll find the needed controls. That change took place with SU8. [image: GQZU_Capture.PNG]

@dave r said: If you had read the original post, though, you would have found out that the client already has SketchUp installed on their computer. No need for the viewer. Sorry. I see.

That was it, TIG. When I bought the type family in I only copied over .otf files.... Cheers!!

To follow on from Dave and your orientation to the red question, it sort of does do that but there is slightly more to it. SU has a global orientation set at the origin, meaning it sees things with the origin point at the bottom left of the screen. Therefore text generally follows that overall concept, it will attempt to orientate to the bottom left corner of the face you place it on. As you can see below, the text follows that orientation even on a sphere, as it is following the actual facets of the sphere. So as an example, if you try to place text on a chair leg, if it is standing up the text will natural orient across it, but if it is lying down it will follow the length.

Hi, I am having the same problem on SU 8 on Mac, Ive tried disabling the hardware acceleration, but still no luck. Ive upgraded to a new Mac and this started happening, are there any other possible solutions? Thank you in advance!

@wo3dan said: (*) create a 'Face Me' component with a circular face. Wrap this çomponent in a new 'Face Me' component with its blue perpendicular to the inside blue. The disk will face the camera all the time... Thanks, this is a better solution. Small sphere is difficult to move and placed in the center. But, math point should not be zoomed, always has the same setpoint. Maybe in future versions to add options for using in math.

Hi Nicmask, I've also had this problem. I don't remember if trashing my plist helped or not. I think in the end, I had to uninstall and reinstall SU.

TIG, Thanks, I used a memorystick and it worked.

Glad I could help. Best regards, JQL

Hello Dave @dave r said: [attachment=3:3cdzjik2]<!-- ia3 -->jpp.png<!-- ia3 -->[/attachment:3cdzjik2] A question for you, Bruce. What would your expectation be for the way these corners get handled? They don't appear to be correctly done although I don't fault the tool. It appears that JPP did what it was asked to do. %(#0000FF)[I would expect the plugin to at lease read my mind and perform the operation correctly. I agree its a difficult one. Perhaps various corner operations can be made as an option to the plugins. Its not until you stop and think of exactly what and how the operations performs that the complexity is revealed. My clients think that I just tap the keyboard a few times and the compute generates the building drawings.] [attachment=2:3cdzjik2]<!-- ia2 -->jpp2.png<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:3cdzjik2] This seems more correct to me although the joint between the angled portions and the horizontal part, although correct for what JPP is supposed to do, is probably not the way it would be built in real life. The horizontal and angled surfaces have been extruded the same amount so to join them you would have to miter them at half the angle between which is exactly what JPP did. [attachment=1:3cdzjik2]<!-- ia1 -->jpp3.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:3cdzjik2] Maybe this is better? I expect that no matter what modifications were made to JPP or Shell, there'll always be geometry that will be problematic. There will always be some things that require the judgement of the user. Agreed, I am just pleased that someone has thought about this more than i and provided a plugin that makes my life easier. All the best

David, it was most certainly my pleasure. I envy your year at College of the Redwoods. I expect you've been designing and making some very nice furniture. Congratulations on the path you are following. Back to your printing problem, what do you get if you export a JPG or PNG instead of trying to print the view?

I moved my tool pallettes to the top bar to alleviate the problem lol only to find the same problem exists. This should be fixed immediately. Unless they cannot, its also a pain when sketchup crashes. When sketchup relaunches it takes its time to open the previous file without toolbars argghghhhhghghghghgghhhhhhh the horror.

Sorry I don't use it (but understand it works OK) but there are videos at the site. Try with a simple smaller terrain section. Also Valiarchitects has Instant Terrain that I have used. The point of Instant Terrain is to provide an even and regular terrain geometry from your model, because sometimes that is needed to have InstantRoad work. Try with a portion of your work (in a test file). You can get help by contacting Valiarchitects (Chuck) if you make a try and refine your questions.

I think "default layer geometry" does all that needs to be done. Then all geometry is on Layer0 where it belongs, and you can assign components, including nested groups or components to whatever layer is required.

@sketchuh said: I couldn't open a file in sketchup 2013 make, because that file has "many" imported 3d models in it. Yes sketchup make crashes many times on me. I wonder does Pro version run faster?! No.

That's funny. I'm guessing its a bug. I'll look into it on Monday

One of my plugins was mentioned in a book and no permission was sought. Use of logos and trademarks need permission

I did something similar,how about using the windows back-up files, save what you have to a thumb drive or disc, then return the documents to a previous saved backup

No, I was talking about something different than the clipping bug. There are steps to take to keep the clipping bug at bay. Search the forum for the clipping bug.
