Sketchup 2013 issues
-
this isn't an 'issue' so much as it's a new behavior (one that i've seen requested a few times here as well as for a certain other drawing app.
on mac, when you launch sketchup, a sketchup window will be created.. once you close that window, the only way to get a new one is to cmmdN (file->new)
previously, you'd get a new window by clicking on the dock icon or upon switching back to the app..
kind of hard to explain without doing the comparison yourself.. i guess i can see why some people might prefer the new behavior but i can also see why someone might prefer the previous behavior.. i'm on the fence and i haven't used 2013 for actual work yet so i don't really know.

I prefer it. I usually have to close that new window--and it always asks to save (v.8). No other apps I have act the old way, opening an empty file every time you choose the app in the dock.
It is more common to want to open an existing file.

that's a ruby which is causing the "would you like to save?" behavior when trying to close a fresh window..
one of the su9 wishlist items i presented was to have the sketchup app itself preventing this from happening regardless of any 'bad' coding by the ruby author.. i haven't put all of my plugins in 2013 yet to see if it's now being prevented.. i'll try out one of the rogue plugins in a little while to check.

^ yeah, that's still happening in su 2013
i used to track down the ruby authors to get them to fix the behavior (as many of them aren't aware of it since they don't have macs to test on) but.. one would get fixed then a new one would pop up so i sort of gave up..
there's only one of these plugins that i actually need (rendering) and i just keep it turned off as an extension until i need to use it.. the other ones, i just don't install them..

Can anyone help me? In Sketchup 2013 my sandbox tool is missing. I have checked everything including the Resources folder.
-
I notice you have Sketchucation plugin, have you perhaps disabled it in the plugin manager?
-
What about the Extensions manager? The last button of the three.
-
Hi Box,
There is no sandbox! On my laptop it is available under su_sandbox.

There it looks like
-
And you have checked, Windows/Preferences/extensions
-
do you have any extra sandbox.rb, extensions.rb, sketchup.rb files in your plugins folder?
-
Hi Kristoff,
No I did none of this rb's in my plugins folder.
-
You might have to install it from the Extension Warehouse?
-
On my laptop was the "sandbox.rb" available. I now have it copied into the plugin folder on my desktop PC. Now I get this error message.
-
The new sandbox has both a su_sandbox.rb and an su_sandbox folder.

Hi Thomas,
thank you very much. It worked.
Also my thanks to box and Kristoff for your effort.Charly

Have you ensured you've updated your plugins?
-
A member three years and you haven't worked out that just saying something doesn't work doesn't help. Nothing in your profile either to give any clues.
Have you installed it properly, have you installed the latest one have you installed the latest lib for it do you have full permissions are you holding your mouth the right way.......my car doesn't work today can you tell me why

Cars are like humans...
Some days are good, some days are bad, where you just don't want to do much...
Think of your car like you think of your loved ones...
Finally make sure to check power and gas supply...
