    I can't for the life of me find how to turn off the "Welcome to sketchup" screen. It opens every time even if I already have SU open and will only go away by clicking, Start using.....
    Is this nagware that only goes away with Pro, or am I even more stupid than usual?

      should be a check box to turn it off right in the window itself... at the bottom.

        That was the first place I looked, but no.

        If you are telling me it does exist then I need to adjust my resolution again to find it.

          So are you saying Kristoff, that in the pro version it doesn't nag you each time.

                Ah Ok, so either it's annoying everyone that is using 13 or you and I are equally "Challenged"

                  I've looked through preferences and found nothing.

                      No you are not any dumber than usual. πŸ˜›

                      Yes the check box has been removed for the 2013 Make edition, and only appears in the Pro edition.

                      An omission from the "What's New" list... πŸ˜’

                      I'm not here much anymore.

                        Does anyone know of a registry entry that would disable the Nag screen?

                        I have a ruby script that I run at startup that draws a complete kitchen.

                        Version 7 - 17 seconds
                        Version 8 - 19 seconds
                        Version 2013 - 52 seconds

                        For what ever reason Version 8's graphics have less jaggies than Version 7 or Version 2013.

                        So - I'm not impressed.

                          The nag [aka 'welcome'] screen 'show' setting is hard-coded into 'Make', it simply ignores the existing registry entry that is set 0/1 for 'Pro' by the check-box...
                          So don't waste your time trying to circumvent it πŸ˜’

                            Interesting. Is the operation wrapped in model.start_operation? And is the disable_ui argument set to true?

                              I am not using model.start_operation.

                                See if it makes a difference if you wrap it up into one operation - and use the disable_ui argument.

                                  I added in the code as you suggested.

                                  model.start_operation( "gkware", true )

                                  did all the work

                                  model.commit_operation

                                  Version 8 increased its time from 19 seconds to 90 seconds
                                  Version 2013 increased its time from 52 seconds to 64 seconds

                                  So - for those who are using start / commit then 2013 is faster. But for me - it's quite a bit slower.

                                    That is bizzare. I've never seen disable_ui make things slower. It's always been faster as it prevented the UI from updating while the operation ran.

                                      When running code without the disable_ui I have to make certain that the Outliner is not visible - otherwise it is really slow.

                                      Here are 2 images of a kitchen. One in Sketchup 8 and the other in Sketchup 2013

                                        For the images - the edge appear more jagged because you haven't exported with anti-aliasing.

                                          These aren't exported - I used a snipping tool to grab exactly what I see on screen.

                                          If you click on the images and compare them - Sketchup 8 is giving me better graphics.
