      I have SU 7 pro (French) on Mac OSX 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard) when I point on the upgrade menu it tells me I have the last version 😮 ??
      I cannot find anywhere this uprade, is that because the upgrade is not in French already?
      Thank you for helping me
      EDIT:
      When I go in center help US it speaks of SU 7.1 and in French center help... only SU 7! the answer can be there...
      sooo... have to wait, somebody knows?

        Hi Nilbleu,

        You are correct, the French (and some other, "localised" versions) have only been released in version 7.0. Hopefully they will also be upgraded soon.

        But as you have Snow Leopard, don't worry. There seem to be a couple of problems between Leopard and SU 7.1 so by the time the French version comes out, these issues will also be fixed I guess.

          Thank God (and Google), there is no Hungarian version (yet?) so I don't have these problems.

            They could have left a word for the localised pigmees 😉

              Yes, it's in Finnish too - abominable. The word they use for "model" would mean "stencil" in English.

                  Hehe...

                  About two weeks ago, I started to teach SU in a special, afternoon class to secondary school kids. For the time being, without (almost) any plugins as the Program files folder is not accessible only for admins on their network and I didn't want to hassle with it (also, I believe that one needs to learn the basics first).

                  Anyway, Weld was the only exception I asked the IT guys to install when they install SU on the computers. Yes, it IS part of the program (you just install it separately)
                  😄

                    Hello
                    I read all the thread, and did not find notice of 2 problems we are having:

                    • Selection is not good, it very often selects a group far from clik point, and other, I have
                      sometimes to go very near lines to select one; clicking above does not select the upper line
                    • Sometimes drawing a line create a moving line which go far from chosen end-point.
                      Very annoying

                      One problem I'm getting with selection is the material sampler. If you're anywhere near an edge, it'll give you the default material 😞

                        That sounds like a graphic driver issue. I had some random issues after downloading 7.1 as well. I don't think 7.1 necessarily works well with all the drivers that 7.0 did. I'd recommend updating to the newest driver and see what happens.

                          Okay, I'll bite - what is Weld and what does it do?

                            Weld takes connected edges/lines and joins them into a polyline. If you then extrude the welded edges, the joints are smoothed. You can also use it to automatically close a face. You can get it here: http://www.smustard.com/script/Weld

                              I noticed the little selection square for the Eraser tool has not changed graphically, but seams to have "grown" so that it is not as accurate as it used to be... perhaps this is related to graphics card as mentioned. 😞 I find when I erase an edge that is near another edge but I don't actually touch the 'other edge'... both get erased anyway. I'm learning to overcompensate by zooming in to places to erase when I would not have had to zoom in previous version... small price to pay for much faster video performance 😄

                              Also, sometimes I notice the problem of drawing a line or copying something, it will look like it's locked onto the right point, say an endpoint... but will 'jump to some endpoint in the "background" instead of where it's showing locked onto in the preview of the point... so the line or object is not ending up being drawn in the right place. So, again, I'm just overcompensating by being 'extra' careful and 'taking no chances' when drawing, but again, a small price to pay for faster vid. performance.

                                  No Rick - that script does what it is for perfectly (unless you can get it to "recognise" exploded circle and arc entities and weld them back as such... 😒 )

                                      I notice that color selection from the drawing does not work regularly.
                                      I am working in 2D and alt-click in paint select everything but the chosen square and do not recuparate the color from the square beside

                                        Mouse clickpoint and selection offset - I have noticed the very same problem, at first I thought it was the mouse (reinstalled the drivers, switched mice, ...) problem persisted...

                                        But since there is more of you complaining - I would like to add my complaints 😄

                                        In SU 7.1 it is harder to select anything in the model, maybe it's just that it select things differently then before, and we'll get used to it, but after many hours of using SU 7.1 - it still feels weird. It feels like if you had to click not with the tip of the mouse cursor, but with the cursor 'body'

                                          I also have this issue in SketchUp 7, so perheps this problem is not caused by SketchUp.

                                            ive seen that a few times myself, seems to only happen in certain models as far as i can tell.
