Sketchup 2013 issues

Gaieus

I am using SU 2013 education and I can not export anything and I have only a few selection to import? Is this a issue with 2013 or is it a part of the new license? My previous education licenses would let me export and import DWGs.

P.

An edu license should work exactly like a full pro license (the only difference is that it's time limited for an academic year). Have you actually renewed your license for 2013? It should be free for edu license holders (AFAIK).

That is a fantastic plugin Garry. Excellent work. This is http://cabmaker32.com/ going on my Christmas list.

Your SU 8 license will NOT work with 2013.

You must get a new license for 2013.

Yes got my code on friday and activated?

Dan Rathbun

@circus please update your platform info here so we can help you better.

ALso what format are you exporting to ? (There are separate libraries for each export file format.)

Was hoping to export DWG, and import DWG. I have a commercial licences of SU8 pro in which I have been using importing and exporting DWG, I recently purchased(friday) a copy of 2013 edu, as I am currently studying and it does not give me any export options and limited import options? So iI am back on
SU8, and Layout 2013? They seem to mixx o.k.

Circus, it should definitely have those export/import functions. Have you tried reinstalling it?

Drag and Drop of a picture or a sketchup file from the windows explorer to SU2013 doesn't work anymore. With Sketchup 8 it works fine. Did i miss something?

Works for me.

thomthom

Also works for me.

Krisidious

Works for me...

chrisik

ok, i've had started Sketchup with administrative rights. Without admin rights drag and drop works also for me.

thomthom

hm.. I run SU as a user with Administrator rights.

I figured it out - I had to play around with the OpenGL settings. Sketchup 2013 defaulted to 15 0x antialias whereas Sketchup 8 was using 40 4x.

Where did you change these settings...?

Cheers, Kris...
However, I'm still puzzled...
Where do I apply the new settings...
This is what it looks like on my laptop...

I've set SU to "always run as admin" but still does not work for me. Win 8 and SU 2013 (Pro).

I guess I need to play around more...

Running it 'as admin' will help with some issues...
BUT remember that being an admin on PC does not guarantee you 'full access' to folders like Plugins, UNLESS you have also expressly changed the folder's default properties>security to be FULL...

There doesn't appear to be any more options available for your graphic card. Laptop graphic cards tend to be more limited. What card do you have? And have you updated its drivers?
