Catastrophe, me and Bill going dumb
-
Well it started when I tried to open a folder and I had an application program error trying to use Window Explorer and it ended up with a unreadable hard drive, to finally a new computer. More to the story here, but I am sure the short version is enough.
Darn. I had backed up a couple of days earlier, and didn’t following my instincts to back up again before trying to fix this problem. So I lost some work I can redo. However, I didn’t realize how many programs I had gotten off the Internet. Darn, now replacing these programs is going to be costly. I have learned to keep better track of the buying, serial numbers and activation codes of these program.
So I bought a new computer and seem to be up and running again, except one little problem.
Now when I make a selection in Sketchup, the edges are dark blue and not yellow and I’ll be darned if I can find the area to change the color of a selected edge from blue to yellow.
Any help would be appreciated.
On to another note, I read somewhere an operating system shell that you could put onto a stick drive and access you hard drive. The computer would boot off the stick drive allowing you access to the hard drive.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mike
It took me sometime to figure it out, even with you suggestion. Got it now.
Thanks for the help.

oh, by the way:
how can I change the selected face's colour? my old laptop at home doesnt show them at all anymore (hope that is not because of his honourable age
). I vaguely remember having changed that setting (years ago) on another system. but I can't remember where. -
The colour of the selected face is a half-tone dotted version of the same colour that you choose for selected lines/bounding boxes. It's altered using the same control in Styles.

ah, I see. so blue may not be the ideal colour if you (like me at the moment) work with an old and fairly bad laptop screen - violet and blue are too much alike.
thanks for the info, Alan
