          well, when your openGL prefs look like this:

          you're more inclined to seek out a workaround πŸ˜‰..

              Do you have more OpenGL options in SketchUp 8?

              These are my settings in SU 8...
              SU8-Sys-pref-OpenGL.jpg
              SU8-Sys-pref-OpenGL-details.jpg
              The "Use hardware acceleration" is by default ticked in SU2013, while it's not ticked in SU8...
              Furthermore there's a difference in the detail window... 😐

              Thanks to everyone... I will give the hack a try... πŸ˜„

              In a few weeks I'll get a new computer, so I guess I will just leave it here...

                    What happened to the WalkThrough Toolbar? Walk, Look Around and Position Camera. The commands are still there in the drop down, but the toolbar is gone? I liked that toolbar damnit!

                      Do you mean the one called Camera? Ah I see now, they have combined walkthrough with other tools.
                      Edit, so you can make your own now if you just want the small walkthrough tools.

                        Oh... So I need to move them from the large tool set where ever I want. Ok. I can do that.

                        I see what you meant. They added it to the camera toolbar.

                            hey Frederik

                            you can try setting your AA via the ruby console.. enter this:

                            Test.set_AA_method(4)

                            it will probably echo back 0 meaning your AA was previously set to 0.. relaunch sketchup and it will be set to 4x (or whatever # you choose to enter in the console.)

                            Wow, that's interesting. Should've known some years ago..πŸ˜’ However on Retina displays Anti Aliasing has become irrelevant (in both CAD and Games applications). In fact it looks better now with the setting "0"..

                                Is it this one?

                                Think I have that installed - not seen any errors though.

                                  thanks...that was the one. I do not recall installing it but after installing it now no more error report.

                                        I found that upping the AA by this method made my previous Mac SU image "jump" all the time. Change view then it gives a view and then the FOV seems to jump forward slightly. As annoying as the bad AA. And I think it slowed performance.

                                        On the Retina display the edges are TOO FINE and I can hardly tell if something is selected. Even the face highlight is faint.

                                          really?
                                          I thought there was a su update for the retina displays?
                                          or maybe by 'update', it just meant that the app would work on the displays though not necessarily optimized for them?

                                            Here is a screen shot. At the default zoom the png looks stronger than the original Retina. If you click on the image it is way stronger (magnified) and not representative.
