CatchUp Newsletter Edition 2

Thanks for the link to the Facebook group. I have just joined it. Just wondering... Why a group and not a page? Here's the difference:

(www.facebook.com)

I have no problems with PDF, as I use the light, free, Sumatra viewer instead of Adobe's own behemoth viewer.

Rich O Brien · 16 Apr 2011, 17:11

I've no idea about groups or pages Miguel?

Csaba does the FB stuff. But we're gonna concentrate a bit in getting info out via social networking as it's apparently popular!

Thanks Rich. It's an honor to be in such company.

I think this is amazing! So many interesting articles and interactive as well. I have no problem with the pdf version either. I use Foxit Reader (no relation to Firefox!) which is so much lighter on resources and quicker to load than Adobe`s bloated program - which I uninstalled as soon as I bought the laptop.

All I need to do now is find the time to get stuck in.

There is an SCF page, too:

(I have no clue what all these things are, I have to be honest.)

Excellent work guys, moderators/authors and guest contributors alike!

I really enjoy the product evaluation/case studies - very informative

Patzee · 16 Apr 2011, 21:06

I really enjoyed this issue! As someone who is not that familiar with what SketchUp can do, I found it very informative and fun. I'm going back to my last project to "take it up a notch".

Thanks!

Sorry, but the download link isn't working for me? Any ideas?
I hate online 'flipping page' viewers... sorry

Cheers

Can you right click and choose 'Save As'?

Or PM me your email address and i'll send you a copy.

But it is strange as we've had no such issues so far?

Is this the Man?Btw, your implementation did away with my ability to jump around the document.

Rich O Brien · 17 Apr 2011, 08:38

Apparently that's him in the 20th Century.

Can you give a bit more info on what you'd like to see to help you navigate around?

honoluludesktop · 17 Apr 2011, 08:56

Typically, Adobe Reader allows me to select any page in the document. Unless I am doing something wrong, your pages have to be accessed in sequence.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this, brilliant stuff. Thanks for all the obvious hard work.

Absolutely amazing and creative content, its like looking into the future, with ability to change what will happen. I wish I was younger and could ride the wave like our creative authors.

Absolutely brilliant - great for a newbie like me. The info on augmented reality was great, as my company is just looking into how we might implement this in our marketing.

Looks like I joined Sketchucation just in time...

Rich O Brien · 18 Apr 2011, 10:26

Really glad you liked

mitcorb · 18 Apr 2011, 10:34

Excellent content and well executed. I enjoyed reading this one, too.

deanlegg · 18 Apr 2011, 13:50

I can't open the pdf either.... or does it take a while to download?

Rich O Brien · 18 Apr 2011, 14:41

It's just over 5mb so it depends on your connection speed

What are you using to view PDFs?

Older PDF viewers may not recognise this format? Adobe reader 5 for example

A brilliant read guys! Keep up the good work.
