SkecthUp 2020.1 - anyone using it already?

kaas · 4 May 2020, 18:34

Just got an email from SU about 2020.M1. Also referring to a blog (see link).
Looks like a few nice changes. Anyone already tried? Any Bugs / annoyances?

I'm using it without any problems...

It's been working fine for me.

Just installed today. Working on a 650mb model and really impressed with the increased performance, specially with Outliner open. This model had been killing me before...(I should note that I moved straight from 2019 to 2020.1) (I should also note that I haven't installed any plugins yet, the 5 bazillion plugins i use could have been slowing down 2019...so we'll see) But anyway, no problems so far.

Works fine for me..... enhancements to Layout is particularly cool.
No selecting the model when you want to perform simple move / select tasks!!

thanks for the replies. will install as well now.

Dave R · 5 May 2020, 12:40

Make sure when you install it you right click on the downloaded installer and choose Run as administrator.

kaas · 5 May 2020, 12:49

Thanks Dave. No problem installing the R1.

Dave R · 5 May 2020, 12:56

Does that mean you installed it as above?

kaas · 5 May 2020, 16:45

yes, SU install always as admin after the first suggestions to do so a few years ago.

SketchUp works fine for me, but LayOut does not. I can't save a file if it has hybrid style drawing in it, and I can't generate a PDF. I have to turn everything into raster, then I can save and export PDF files. It worked fine in previous versions. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem?

You're installation is bugged maybe? LO drawing with vector + hybrid + images saves fine for me, also exports fine with native pdf export.

I haven't had any difficulty with exports from LayOut 2020 or 2020.1 Hybrid rendered viewports don't cause any problem. I'd be curious whether SketchUp and LayOut were properly installed and what graphics card is involved.

Yeah, everything still running fine for me. Except one small issue I'm having: When I right click on skp or layout files, Sketchup/Layout 2020 aren't showing as an openning option in the context menu...(all other installed versions show up still...(2017-2019). I've tried setting default through windows control panel/settings, and also through file properties, change default program. no luck... (yes, installed SU by right click install as admin...even tried a 'repair'.)

'Invert selection' in RMB menu in emptyarea is so idiotic. It's like 'un-explode' instead of 'group'

Dave R · 6 May 2020, 21:26

Invert Selection in empty space = Select All.

rv1974 · 7 May 2020, 04:35

Exactly, and it looks like one of Monty Python sketches.
The onlyplace this 3 line menu can happen is empty area, and the onlything you can 'select inverse' in empty area is 'Select All'. Now 2 questions arise:
Why just don't call things by their names?
And generally, why 'select all' is so essential in empty area?
