A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members

Well, D_russ:
While everyone else is napping, welcome.
I am an Autocad user, too. But there are plenty of others here and they use a lot of other 2d and 3d programs, as I am sure you know.
You just ask away. Take some time to become familiar with the Forum. -

I have trouble when I try to login this forum...
everytime I'll try to login always said "You have been banned from this board until Mon Apr 18, 2011 8:59 am.
Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.
A ban has been issued on your IP address."
till now the solution for log in in this forum is browsing from ninjacloak.com
can anybody help me? -
Hi Indrasukma,
I rarely ban IP addresses and if I do, I only do with static IP's and only for a limited time - so that I do not ban innocent people. When I do ban an IP, it is generally when multiple spambot registrations came from that IP.
Now I can imagine that I made a mistake and banned one that I should not have banned. Please, let me know what your IP address is (if you do not know, visit this site and it says at the top right) and do not write it here but send me a private message (you should not share your IP address - just like your email address).
You can also send me an email message from here.
Edit: I have excluded the IP you registered with from the ban list so maybe this whole contacting is unnecessary.

Hi all
I've managed to design a single storey lean-to extension for the side of my house in Devon (UK) on Sketchup Pro 8 free version, and I think it's good enough to send to the planning department without the need for an architect. Planning will accept electronic pdf drawings which saves sending 4 hard copies of everything, but insist on the drawing being on an A3 sheet, to scale, with a scale bar, so they can print them out and put a ruler on the plans to measure anything that's not dimensioned. I'll need Layout to do this so I was going to purchase it. I see Sketchup Pro8 costs £330+VAT for a single licence @ Sketchupprostore, but following sponsored links from tutorial books sold on Amazon I have seen the licence for £285+VAT @ facade-it, and £255+VAT @ softwareparadise. Does anyone know if these are genuine or fraudulent
resellers, and if genuine are you getting the same software/contract? 
Thanks in advance, Andy.

Hi,
Welcome to SCF. Have you tried downloading the SU8 Pro trial? It last 8hrs so you might have enough time to make your plan in Layout.

Thanks Rich, Yes I have but then I discovered 'The Sketchup Show' tutorials on YouTube so I've been making my way through those and already used up my 8 hours of Pro trial. I'm afraid that Exeter City Council Planning are never happy and the planning process takes months/years!! there are bound to be alterations and that have to be made so nice thought but in reality it just isn't going to be sorted in 8 hours. I don't begrudge the money if it saves on the cost of an Architect which would certainly cost more, but why pay £400 if you can get the same software for £300?

Yes, I am a newbe. My name is Ken. I am trying to learn how to use Sketchup for cabinet construction and drawing home plans. I am going through the tutorials to learn what I can, but the select tool is not working.
I am using a Mac powerbook with OS 10.5.8 leopard.
-
Blake77How isn't the Select tool working ?
Not at all ?
Intermittently ?
When you try to do something in particular that you think should work ?
Does the cursor move?Some more info will help us to help you...
-
The curser does not change into the pointer like the video says. Whatever tool I was using, when I select the select tool (I'm sorry - I guess it's the component maker tool) I still have the previous tool that I was using. I can not get the yellow box that outlines objects or anything.
-
This is the select tool: and also when you press the Space bar, this tool should become active (although I have heard issues with certain Mac configurations)
-
Thank you for you help, I am slowly getting this figured out as I watch the videos again, but where I am still lost is I cannot get the yellow binding box that surrounds an object that is selected to modify.
-
Here is the select tool for SU:

Go through the blue tabs on the top. Your selection colour may be blue however (it is simply a styles setting).If you do not have the yellow or blue bounding box, selection box, dots or any highlight, it probably means some display glitch (which would be rare on a Mac).
What video card do you have?
