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

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

        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?

              And yes - I have the latest drivers installed...

              Similar to the original question, I also seem to have a better antialising when using SU 8 Pro... 😐

                    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.)

                        that's an old hack. i think it is on the su forums.

                          well, when your openGL prefs look like this:

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

                              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.

                                            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"..
