      Hi-I don't know what happened, but two days ago the pick-indicator cursor at the end of my line tool pencil turned into a white square box. It makes it more difficult to see what point you are trying to pick. I've tried to find a preference setting that would change/address this with no luck. Help?

        Hi baffledbysku (nice name, BTW πŸ˜‰ )

        First try to check your system preferences whether you incidentally set some colour settings to too low (like 8 bit).

        Then under Window > Preferences > OpenGL settings see if unchecking hardware acceleration helps.

          that happens to me occasionally.. save the file your working on then relaunch sketchup.
          i haven't figured out what causes it.

            Thanks for the help guys. Being a 'KISS' (keep it simple stupid!) kind of guy, I tried the restart solution first and that cleared it up! I can see where I am starting my lines again!
