Tutorials for future use
-
Hey Everyone,
After seeing Eric's nice tutorial for adding grooves to a tube it reminded me to something I do which I hope will help others.
When I see tutorial like this, I think "...I don't need that now, but in the future I might..." So I put the model in my SelfPaceTutorials directory and restart SketchUp. Then I have the Tutorial under my Help menu for future use.
Hope that helps somebody.

Yes, Brad. I'm going to give that a try. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the recognition Brad and nice tip. I did not even know that folder existed until now.
-
Dear Brad,
Where exactly is the folder? I have looked in the Google Sketchup folder and all other folders, but cannot find a SelfPaceTutorials directory. I am using the free version of Sketchup 6.
Kind regards,
Bob -
Dear Brad,
Belay that request as I have just found the directory. Thanks for the tip.

Isn't that clever.
Here's the directory on my PC:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Tools\HelpContent_en\SelfPacedTutorials\
-
Is this working for everyone else?
If I drop a skp in the Self Paced Tutorials folder, I cannot see it from the help menu. -
Do you restart SU? (I haven't tried it yet...)

Yes I restart.
The tuts are sat in the same folder as the Introduction skp which show up on the menu.
-
Are you using thispath:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Resources\en-US\selfpacedtutorials
or maybe you just copied things from SU5 when upgrading and maybe it was located somewhere else?
-
I'm having the same problem as Dylan. I've placed the file into the right folder (with the intro.skp file) and restarted SU but, alas, no love.
-
Hm. I tried and it shows up as a menu item.
-
I went to the tutorial, right clicked and save link as (Firefox) and put it in the same folder that SchreiberBike mantioned, started SU went to Help - SelfHelpTutorials and it was in there.
A great tip.....
