OpenGL Driver
-
Hi guys,
I just upgraded to SketchUp 2014, and I have a quick question. It loaded by default with OpenGL driver #(either 197 or 397), and it looked absolutely fantastic, worked great. I normally switch drivers to #40 (Anti-alias 4x) on previous versions because that looked and worked mostly smoothly. I did this, and now the previous driver is no longer available. Any thoughts on why and how the option for that driver would disappear after changing it, and is there any way to get it back? I've already made sure that all my videos drivers and everything are up to date. Is my best course just to uninstall and re-install?
Thanks!
Matt

There's a ruby snippet somewhere that resets the opengl setting that SU declares on first launch.
But I can't find it...where's cotty when you need him?
-
I
m here, but I don
t know the snippet -
OK....
then we need TIG or Thomthom to bail us out.
I know for a fact that there's a snippet for this.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll keep an eye out for TIG or Thomthom

OpenGL settings on the Mac OS X version of SketchUp are different than on Windows, but you should be able to get something nice to look at on either platform. It looks to me a little like you're not running your display at its native resolution, but I can't be sure. Typically, the Mac OS picks a pretty reasonable setting for you- you may (however) want to try forcing FSAA (Full Screen Anti-Aliasing) 'On' manually if you don't like the default appearance.
CAUTION: This is an undocumented hack that isn't habitually tested by our QA team– though it may give you the 'look' you're after, it may cause unexpected issues elsewhere in the application.

Choose "Window > Ruby Console" to open the Ruby Console
-
type the following into the console:
Test.set_AA_method(4)
...and hit Return.
3. The console should echo back to you something like:0
...indicating the previous anti-aliasing setting was "0x"
- Quit SketchUp and restart. All SketchUp windows will now have 4x anti-aliasing enabled.
Hope this helps- and remember: this isn't guranteed to work on all Macintosh models.

tells you what it's set at...
Test.get_AA_method
will set it to 4 [ choices 0,1,2,3,4 ]
Test.set_AA_method(4)
v2013 sets it at 4
v2014 sets it at 0, due to some performance issues on some machines, I believe...sorry I'm not TIG or TT

Thanks it was wrecking my head but....
Test.get_AA_method Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `get_AA_method' for Test;Module> <main>;in `<main>' -e;1;in `eval' nil

I'm getting the same error message

For me, console spit this out:

you can remove the whole OGL key of SU v2014 from the Windows registry by executing the attached REG file (see archive).
Exit SU before doing this, launching SU then the OGL defaults should be restored.
