A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members

mwenvironments

Hi Mark (and welcome)

It's a "Style" setting. Go to Window > Styles and in the dialog In model (the little house icon), select the style you are using (by default there's just one style) > Edit tab > Edge settings.

Now when you are here, turn off extensions and endpoints (I generally turn these off as well as profiles).

If you wish, you can save this file as a template (File menu) and from Window (Sketchup on Mac) > Preferences > Templates use your custom template with these (and in fact any other kind of) settings.

Thank you very much Gaieus! I knew there must be someplace to do this.

Regards,

M.

Hi, My name is Greg

I am new to SketchUcation, but have been using SketchUp for several months (great program!)

Anyway, I found y'all from a link to the FreeScale plugin, which I definitely want to downlaod and try. However, when I go to that discussion thread, it tells me I am unauthorized to download. So, how do I get there so that I can download?

Thanks in advance.
Greg.

remus

Thats strange. Were you logged in when you tried to download it?

and welcome to SCF

Yes I was logged in, and I too found it strange. Can you give me a link to the download for this plugin?

If you will contact gaieus<at>sketchucation<dot>com, he may be able to help with this matter. It is his job.

Edit: oops, sorry remus. I did not see that you have rank here. Just trying to help.

remus

have rank, i like it Gai is the man to talk to about permissions problems, though. He's the one who deals with the back end stuff.

Gaieus

Hi Greg and welcome. "Theoretically" speaking, if you are signed in - and able to post here, in this("Newbie") forum -, you should also be able to see (and download) every attachment in other forums as well so it is indeed strange.

Can you confirm that you are still unable to see the attachments in the Ruby forum (where free scale was posted)?

Yo, remus:
I hope the phrase "have rank" isn't one of those cross-cultural difficulties.
I didn't want to invoke the term "seniority" and create all kinds of other semantic problems.
best regards, mitcorb

Gaieus

It's actually the 'Forum Software' (phpBB) that calls it "rank". I also hate the expression but this is similar to other cases - one gets lazy and instead of finding out better ones,uses the "default" expression.

The same with "users" here. It would be better to "call" them members but the software uses the term "user".

what you do is, draw a 3d box, (or whatever you want to draw, then at the top you will see something called the 'paint bucket' you cant miss it, it right next to the tape measure tool, and its spilling yellow paint. click on that, a materials box will pop up, click on any color, then use paint bucket tool to paint face

Hi all, I'm Frank and am learning SketchUp. I use it to design woodworking projects that I want to build. I've design about four pieces so far and struggled through them. Looking to learn shortcuts and tips on the use of SU.

remus

Hi frank Have you been using groups for your projects so far? if not theyre a very quick way to simplify the process of modelling.
