Not my software - and not my Beta forums & NDA - but thanks.

Ok, previously I had Sketchup V8 crash repeatedly lately as indicated in another thread. Last night and today, I have done everything I know that made V8 crash, and no crash. Crossing my fingers, but this does seem to be stable. If that proves to be true, this is a BIG improvement.
I am so far happy with the new version.
I especially like the extension web site.

Any Idea how to go about plugins such as rendering soft such as vray, lightup, podium, twilight, thea. Do you need to reinstall them or just move folders?
Any plugin/extension that comes with an installer I'd install manually instead of copying.
-
That makes sense Thomas
-
Is it just me or is copy and paste from Sketchup to Layout not working?
-
Toolbar Display in Toolbar menu box
One thing I would like to have changed, and I know it not going to happen right away. In the toolbar menu box the toolbars are listed alphabetically. I really did like having the native toolbars segregated, with the natives at the top and the plugins at the bottom.
Guess I get use to this new world.

In case of Thea you can copy/move folder. Please make sure you have revision higher or equal to 071 installed. Mac version is not fully functional in SU2013 yet. We are working on it. Windows version is fully functional and SU2013 is on the list in the installer.

Generally, we did not do things that would break plugins moving from SU 8 to SU 2013. But there are always exceptions and unintended consequences..
Right. A change inside SU on Mac...
-
So Tomasz, would it be better to hold off on upgrading until Thea is fully functional on Mac?
I rely on Thea for work, and deadlines usually mean no time for screw ups.
Is there a timeframe on the Mac fix? -
I am working on it as we speak. It is a highest priority for me to fix it.
Please hold off with the full switch to SU2013.
This shouldn't stop you from testing the new version, but at the moment Thea is not correctly reading materials inside SU2013 for Mac.
I hope the fix will be ready in few days. -
Thanks Tomasz, both for your quick reply, and all your hard work.
Think I'll just hang on. -
I reinstalled Twilight and it seems to be working as expected. Profile Builder's preview window is broken.

I have a bit of a problem with which I hope you guys can help . .
I downloaded 2013 for a minute, but changed my mind and off-loaded it immediately. (Nothin' against 13 per se I just didn't have time to play with it and decided to download it later) I did nothing else with my file structure. SU 8 still in tact, etc.
However . . .now all of my SKP files have been Hi-jacked by Google as the Default program and the "open with" won't let me changeit back to SU for some reason. So I have to open SU first and then hunt for the file thru the "Open" pull down in SU rather than just double-click on the file itself to open it.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thx in advance.

use that browse feature to find the SU V8 exe and then make sure that "Always use this application is checked" it should then default back to SU8.
-
It doesn't remember your setting after you've browsed your way to Sketchup.exe?
-
You also might try the down arrow just under Chrome, (Other Programs) it may show SketchUp with out browsing to it.

Tried that several times. . .and it won't let me select Sketchup.exe or remember it. I will give it another go based on your suggestions.
Thanks guys.

Not a bad suggestion. Its too late at this point, but it could be a feature for the future. For now, you can differentiate by the default tool icons, if that helps.
Chris
in macs, if you have 8 and 2013 side by side on the dock, you can see that the 2013 icon is noticeably smaller thanthe previous one.
