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.

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 · 1 Apr 2009, 22:26

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.

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)?

mitcorb · 2 Apr 2009, 14:24

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

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".

I am a new user and would like to know how to create a new material fill.

DanG

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

I wonder if he'll reply?

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 · 9 Apr 2009, 07:14

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.

Gaieus · 9 Apr 2009, 07:26

Hi Frank and welcome!

That's cool. SU is particularly useful in woodworking. I have subscribed you to our Woodworking forum now so that you can access it when logged in, too.

Groups or components?

Greetings Folks,

My name is Marc. Just stumbled on this site which is full of potential. I am an old AutoCAD user. (v12) I used it in my career in the USAF, which I spent 17yrs of my life. I'm brand new to SU and have barely loaded it up as yet.

Question for Admin: I seem not to be able to view attached files for some reason. I was in Ruby forum and trying to DL some free plugins. I'm sure it's just a permissions thing. Any way I hope to learn alot from the forum.

Cheers,
Marc

Gaieus · 13 Apr 2009, 13:04

Hi Marc and welcome.

When you are logged in, you should be able to see/download any of the attachments. Make sure (I mean double check) to be logged in because in rare occasions, the forum software logs some people out for some unknown reasons. Please, let me know if this still persists.

Hi im new to the site i have sketchup 7 and im am having trouble with getting podium 1.6.1 started. im now on my laptop which has xp and my home computer has vista. any help out there much needed.

Gaieus · 13 Apr 2009, 17:37

Welcome Dor and nice to see you dropping by to say hello.

Best would be however to post your specific Podium question in the "Extensions " forum where I'm sure it would receive more attention than "buried" in this long topic here.
