A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members

Gaieus · 20 Oct 2009, 17:11

My learning curve is nearly vertical at this point, so I hope everyone will forgive the inevitable newbie idiocies.

If you look at the name of this subforum: "Newbie", you will realise that here (well, "almost") anything is allowed so as to get beginners encouraged a little bit.

we've come a long way since paper tape readers (and yes, I remember them personally).

And I still use them in the field.

Hi All, my name is Paolo and write from Genoa Italy, I'm a very newbie of Sketchup and also of read and write in english.
I'll try to read your post, many thanks at all!

Hi Paolo and welcome.

Although our Italian subforum is not very busy, I have added you to that usergroup so eventually you can also post there - but we will make sure to try to understand what you are saying here (so far it's OK )

Hello,

I have spent a few days on the forum now, and you guys rock.

Everything a new user needs is here, I am going to do my best to follow the advice and see how it goes. Will hopoefully post some results and try to repay the favour with things I have found along the way.

Hi everyone,

I am een middelaged dutch guy who is very interested in working with sketchup and kerkythea. So i spend the last month(s) on learning the getting started from sketchup en kerkythea. Also i asked some questions on this forum.

And i must say, it helped me a lot. Today i did my last tutorial, and i think that i have know enough knowledge to make my first project and render.

So i would like to thanks everyone on this forum, and next week i deliver my first project and then can everyone shoot there critics and comments.

My english is not my best, but i hope everyone understand what i'm meen

Hi Henk,

Glad that members could help here. Looking forward to your project and don't be shy - everyone had to start it somewhere.

Hello All in the community.
I would to say that I am ecstatic about this resource and grateful to all those who have answered my questions. Thank you!

I have more questions though. I wanted to know what some of the errors mean and if there is a forum already established to discuss the issue?

Example of my load errors:

Error Loading File cracking.rb
undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File delaunay.rb undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File export_points.rb
undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File hull.rb undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File pointify.rb
undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File recursive.rb undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File tooling.rb
No such file to load -- tooling/cracking.rb

Thanks for your help!

Ruby Forum here...
What is 'cracking.rb' that seems to be causing this error ?
Look in your Plugins Folder...

ScrubBurnRepeat · 17 Nov 2009, 08:53

hello,
am interested in parametric, bim, data, 3d modeling aspects (though aware of su's "fake" curves).
revit arch's massing and site tools are clumsy and erratic.
autocad is... autocad.
so, i guess i'm always looking for something that works better.
and am often working with sites (contours, grading)

enough for now.

remus · 18 Nov 2009, 07:58

Hi scrub and jane, and welcome to the forum.

If your interested in parametric stuff be sure to have a look at sketchups dynamic components. Theyre not full BIM but they do go some way towards it.

I have a question about the Skin plug in .. from lots of sites there say that there are alot versions of skin.
Do you ppl have a good one ? or do I have to find out myself

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Anything I need to know ?

Greetings,

Welcome to SCF.

You should have no problems viewing images in the gallery section as long as you are logged in, can you try again while logged in and let me know if this still persists?

Hello there,

Welcome to this little SketchUp Community we have set up here!

Welcome to this forum for all your beginners questions. You may also have more advanced questions and may post them in the appropriate forum.
If you're not sure if your question is beginner or advanced, then don't worry too much. The world is full of worrisome people already and we want you to get that cozy - de-worried feeling here. So in that case just post it here anyway.
