      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.

          • 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.

              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)?

                Gai...

                  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".

                      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 😄

                      wtf may 2 2008 🤣

                          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.

                          If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

                            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.

                              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.

                                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

                                Where ever you GO; THere you are!

                                  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.

                                      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.

                                        Hi, just joined the group!
                                        Been using the free version for awhile, just installed V7 pro. 😎

                                        Started using SliceModeler 1.4 to make physical models....

                                        It's Technical...............

                                          Hi david. Those physical models sound rather intriguing, howd you go about cutting out the slices after youve cut up the SU model? Is it a case of printing out templates and using them to cut your slices or have you found a more elegant solution?

                                            Hi,
                                            Just passing through and having a look around. Not too sure if this is what I'm looking for or not. I have a small assignment I have to complete for college which asks for a sketch layout of an isolated campsite. It has to take into consideration environmental and safety issues and how I would lay the camp out etc. I'm guessing that no one else in my class would have thought of using this option, and I'm sure or hoping it would help with my grading also. 😉

                                            Now I'm guessing all that is really required is just a plain line drawing, and I was considering letting my 9yr old daughter draw it for me as I have absolutely no drawing skills whatsoever. Then it dawned on me in the middle of the night that there are programmes such as these, but whoa I can see that I'm already out of my depth and that there maybe quite a steep learning curve just to achieve a very simple drawing.

                                            My biggest hurdle is simply time, I just don't have the time to take on something else to learn, I'm totally crammed now.

                                            Is this the right type of programme for me, or is there something else out there?

                                            Cheers
                                            John
