Push/Pull Issues

Pulling a face attached to a co-planar face drags the edge of the adjoining face with it as if your were trying to move instead of push pull.

1.1) GUI for push pull is not working such that you can not see the object being pulled. It appears as if you are moving the object. I have found that in some cased the push/pull actually performs a move and not a push/pull. The only way I found to get around this issue was to enter in the desired push/pull distance manually.

Axis Locking Issue
2) Experiencing some very strange behavior when trying to move groups around. Completely unable to lock on to more then 1 axis in some cases.

Material Paint Tool
3) Paint tool working sporadically. Often times I can only get a paint selection tool and am completely unable to apply materials to surfaces.

Have you checked that your Graphics Card Driver is up to date ?

ArtisanDan · 12 Nov 2016, 20:18

I have. I am running a GTX 750ti 2GB on a HP8300 with an I7 processor and 16GB of Ram on-board. I have GeForce experience running and the drivers update fairly regularly. I run AutoCad on this rig with no issues, and was using Sketchup 2016 with no problem up until I upgraded 2 days ago. I have been having some glitchy performance ever since.

Have you confirmed the GC Driver is up to date ?

ArtisanDan · 12 Nov 2016, 21:09

As stated in my previous reply, yes... my GC drivers are updated regularly and are current. I should also mention that I am running Render Plus and Fredo6 extensions, however these never caused a problem for me before. I can see how the RenderPlus materials GUI could potentially cause some issues regarding the materials related bugs, however I am not sure how either of those could effect simple push/pull functionality.

Had anyone else experienced any of these issues? The Push/Pull problem is making Sketchup almost unusable. If I can't figure this out soon I'm gonna have to roll back to 2016.

Ok.... So I saved the file that I was currently working on as a Sketchup 2016 file and reopened it in 2017 and the push/pull problem seems to have resolved itself. I will follow up if I continue to experience issues. Thanks.

Okay this is a Layout 2017 bug.

When you export to DWG, if you have an PDF image on any of your drawings sheets, Layout 2017 will crash. I tried to export the file back to Layout 2016 or 2015 but to no avail. You have to remove them from your file and purge the file if you want it to work.

i have same problem with snapping, sometimes sketchup 2017 suddenly stops snapping to some axis. for example snaps only to red, or only to green.
