Thanks John, that helped - looks like Sketchup doesn't really do it too well, but through searching I found the 'watermark' function which at least lets me print my contact info on a drawing. Thanks again.

A bit late here, I have just found the thread. Thank you for the gift you have made. It is very generous of you.

You have freeDXF plugin working good in 2015.

I've seen a similar report. It emanates from the way it was installed initially. Try uninstalling, then freshly reinstalling v2015. This time do NOT double-click the icon for the installer's exe file - even if you have 'admin-powers' - instead you should select its icon > context-menu > 'Run as Admin...' That way it's installed proeprly. Another thing to do is after it's installed find the SketchUp.exe file in the Program Files, SketchUp folder and context-menu > Compatibility > 'Always run this program as an administrator' should always be ticked [you'll need 'admin-powers' to do that] PS: Please update your User Info to suit the version you end up using...

@rich o brien said: @juju said: I hate subscription programmes, I know I'm not the only one... The world is moving towards this model so there's no escaping it. Unless you embrace open source tools. I'm already looking into it. New systems only get adopted if the client base accepts it (or has no alternative, as you already indicated); if it's rejected strongly enough, the new system will not survive.

Well, if you are patient enough, it finally worked. I think it is just the size of the model that made it run so long. I found the offending part and am in the process of fixing it..........

Beside all the hints and tools I would recommend the freeware Greenshot. Greenshot has some useful drawing tools, can highlight or pixelize areas etc. I use it almost every day... In addition to some standard formats, you can save your screenshot in a certain Greenshot-format, if you want to continue editing later. http://getgreenshot.org/de/

Sorry I can't be more help with the ArchiCAD to SU transfer but I do have a solution to my original post. It turns out you have to save down to SketchUp 7. We figured this out a couple weeks ago but thought I'd share and put a bookend on this one. Thanks for everyone's input.

sure, why not...beer bottle or glass is fine:-) ( ..even non-alcoholic one ) good job Hornxx ! [image: sketch_logo.png]

@rich o brien said: I find the viewport display for that in designer to reflect the render output in Thea. And because of the difference in how metal appears in SD spec/gloss as compared to Thea it's an uphill battle. For straight up non-metals it's fine though. True! PBR roughness/metalic is the way to go with Thea, however Spec/Gloss might be useful for other engines, that's why I posted.

You are right about trying to use it on Linux. I will be loading a Win Os within the next few days. Sketchup will probably be the only reason I install Windows. For now I will try to uninstall it on linux and reinstall later. BTW is that a Tasmanian Tiger??? Thanks for your help! Rich

@krisidious said: But do you get the lag in a small simple su file? No.....and it only started on the larger files recently.

I use a lot of textures and the model flies well. You can reduce texture size whenever you need/want, it's harder to increase it though...

Is this because you are using Preview as the texture editor? I use GIMP--maybe this works with Yosemite? Albeit I am not using Yosemite.

Thank you, JQL. after checking the object carefully, I realized that there was another object/colored layer on top of it. After deleting it, the shadows appeared as they should.

Hi Arnold, hi folks. Can you temporarily switch units to meters, insert your smart label and then switch back to millimeters? Just ideas.

The 2D image export in Skup (Win) is always related to your used width-height ratio of your SkUp viewport - yes, this is very annoying. I also have this problem very often when colleagues work with my files. If you render with any external renderer or any render plugin that all doesn´t matter since you're free to set your desired certain aspect ratio. For exporting single images within SketchUp Pro (Win) you can use the Animation Export. There you are free to set your aspect ratio, regardless of your current Skup viewport sice. Within the animation export you choose export "image series" (I don´t know the English naming here) instead of choosing export "animation"... (Unfortunately, this export function does not have the possibility to control antialiasing) I hope this evasion helps... PS: I do not know how SkUp(Mac) behaves in this matter [image: FldD_Animationsexportoptionen.jpg]
