Sketchup 7.1 bugs
-
There's no change in the .skp format between 7.1 and 7.0. 7.0 can open files made by 7.1.

here's a jpg of guides. The guides are 50mm off the bottom edge of the walls yet they show them going through the walls, not behind them - this never happened before!!
The properties of the guides has been completely screwed in 7.1 - they now are associated with the axis, switch off axis and guides go off.

Yet if I view from the other side of the walls the guides show correctly.

Now if I zoom out the action of the guides changes.

So now the action of the guides is related to the zoom factor!! Weird!
Doesn't anyone else notice these major changes, or should I say Faults in the new codes?
-
I also have issues with guides - however these are never really consistent enough to set up a "rule" for a really good bug report.

I have now discovered that in the units page you can't set the length snap unit. I prefer 0.01 in metric but it always reverts to either 0.001 or 0.100.
Do the people who update this software know how to use it?
Please - leave the damn program alone so you don't screw it up further!!!

I don't see what you describe. If I set it 0.01 in mm units - it's stays like that.

That's interesting Thomas - you've made me check what could be wrong and I've found that I've had a fault in my template - I've now created a new template (I have my company logo as a watermark) and it now works!! Also guides now act correctly.
I can now email the files as well so it appears I had a glitch when creating my template - all is well

I apologise for speaking badly of the program.
cheers
