Sometimes push/pull tool doesnt work
-
I found another way to get around this..... instead of "push/pull" you can also "edit group" or "explode" and then select the WHOLE FACE and pull it to where you want with the MOVE/COPY, however you need to be carful as you can pull it anywhere unlike "push" which will only go in 2 directions (forward and back).
Still works though when you can push/pull. Only really good when your lining stuff up (like i do all the time) as it will snap to the surface (assuming you have those options to see in VIEW).
Many Thanks

Wie! Thank you SFX Group! I love you
I thought the angle could affect the tool but i never found out how it worked out... but now i know!

There’s something else i have noticed, this "cant select a face to push pull", it seems may also be a openGL support issue.
I found if I turn off Hardware Acceleration in the preferences THEN i can select the face as i should be able to...
Looking at another graphics card that supports openGL better.
Many Thanks

ok, i have ATI Radeon graphiccard and it have been alot of problem with that card... what card do you recommend, cause i am tired of a the problem

ARGH! ... tried making some different models and after a while the push/pull-tool doesnt work on the existing objects. It only works if your doing a new box... and then you can use the tool one time...something is wrong with my computer, program or it might be just me...

Well at the moment, the Matrox G400 and G550 (both had openGL as would run Quake III, was going to put one of those in.
I might give one a wizz in the test machine (VERY slow XP P3 box) as i have a few special BIOS TV G400 dual head cards to see how they get on, if it works well on there then will look at a G550 LP card (as i have 2U server size cases).
Many Thanks

well this is a shock, Matrox G400 DUAL HEAD (although this has a special BIOS for TV output) it’s very slow (no Hardware Acceleration), the same machine with a NVIDIA GeForce T4 (old card) went like a rocket (has Hard Acceleration) in software.
Its way quicker than my Core2DUO 2.4Ghz running XP64bit, this machine I tested it on is a P3 800Mhz.... so it’s all to do with graphics cards...
Will keep you posted.
Many Thanks

The last time I tried a Matrox card (I admit it was some years ago) with an OpenGL application I got a blue screen. They are best known for their 2D image quality but have not recently been mentioned as usable in 3D design.

... now it seems that i only can use the push/pulltool just one time with each object...
now i starting to hate sketchup
-
I'm looking at a ASUS Nvidia card, there fairly cheap (US $30-40 on eBay), small price to pay for working kit...
I do agree its abit of a downer but not much you can do about it if manufactures are not supporting certain programming systems (openGL).
Many Thanks

UPDATE:
Ive just bought a ASUS Nvidea EN9400GT (1Gb RAM), was cheap (UK £40), installed and working, has corrected my "selection" problem and is now super fast....
I was on an Intel Board which that inbuilt unit was 512Mb RAM (so wasnt a slow unit) however seems to be all about the OpenGL componant of the graphics board.
Many Thanks
