Dave this is a very well organized method to follow. I wish there was an easy way to print out a list of the plugin/ extensions I have installed so I could then just go through the list and check them off as I install them in the new version. This is also s good time to re- evaluate which ones I actually use and wether to install them in the new version of SU. Would be neat if someone could come up with a "migration tool" that would take your steps into account and walk you through the process. Once again, thanks for sharing you process. It is well thought out and logical.

@dave r said: @tgm said: What does the change in UI on v2017 have to do with the dynamic components on v2016? They changed the way the web dialogs work. they now use the embedded Chromium. This impacts the web dialogs for SU2016, too. They changed this partly because too many users failed to keep IE up to date and the web dialogs wouldn't work. @tgm said: I should be able to run each program independently of each other, correct? Mostly but not entirely. Just update SU Dynamic Component through the Extension Warehouse and it'll be OK.

I believe that currently it's incompatible with v2020 - see other posts about this...

Have you tried this? [image: YXZO_purgeunused.gif]

I just got word from someone on the team. They said this is actually expected behavior due to Mac not recognizing the SketchUp materials. It's not a SketchUp bug but more an operating system thing.

Your looking at 2 different Libraries... the second is your hard drive which SU hasn't used for years unless you or a rouge plugin makes it... check in your Home/Library/ from Finder, they are in there... john

save regularly and use File >> Revert to 'jump' back to that last save... no other way I know of, unless your writing your own ruby scripts... john

Yes, just download and install it. They run side by side.

Us Mac guys are always the poor children at the end of the block! Haha. Thanks, Dave!

The angle of the angel. Glad it worked for you.

In MSPhysics, you can use joybutton(button) and joypad functions. See http://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/MSPhysics/CommonContext#joybutton-instance_method

They didn't remove these options in SU2017. They both do work but it might be your graphics card isn't up to the task. What kind of graphics card do you have in your Mac?

@kaas said: You're not running on old hardware that SketchUp doesn't support anymore? See more here: https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 that's actually a good point, try downloading the Sketchup 2017 CheckUp app and run that, maybe some clues from that?

@pilou said: Menu Display/ Tool Barr / New and you can put anything you want inside this new Tool Barr? Hi good day I tried that option as you mentioned it several times But this is very limited That's what i comment Has the same options and does not give you more Plugins can not be installed or moved to that tray

John, thank you. Now, I'll try to figure out how to fix my file using Acrobat Distiller 11.0 (Windows) as v1.5...

It has already been reported... Unfortunately 'they' changed the way that Extensions are 'switchable' in the newest versions of SketchUp - we have yet to get a reasonable workaround... At the moment the best we can suggest is that you set up a collection of Extensions that you might have normally loading - set all of those 'active'. Then note their 'loader' RB files - from their description available in the SCF Extensions Manager - then if you use the SCF Plugins Manager - you can enable/disable/load-per-session those loader RB files [aka Plugins] - using 'Sets' as desired... When you restart SketchUp any disabled Plugin will NOT load its Extension - but any enabled Plugin should activate its Extension - IF that Extension is preset to auto-activate on start up... Depending on how the Extension and its related Toolbar code is configured, then you might need to either reactivate the Extension or relaunch the Toolbar [often both might auto-activate] when SketchUp restarts...

I don't really understand your question, in particular the part about "a curve remains fixed". If it remains truly fixed, it will not reach the moved edges, and if it stretches to stay connected it is not "fixed". If you are asking how to make the area larger without altering its shape, please take a look at the Scale tool. But if you are asking to have a second edge move in the y direction when you move a first edge in the x direction (ignoring the question above about the curve staying "fixed"), there is no built-in capability to do that in SketchUp. It would require an extension or perhaps a Dynamic Component to program this special behavior.

I don't remember whether the default is checked or unchecked, but that box has been in Model Info for a long time!

OK Thank you

Speed and large file capabilities. They always say we'll just ask for more but SketchUp is always behind on what one needs for working on typical models for typical small building projects, let alone for adding landscape, and other models that are handled easily by other software.
