Printing/Export of Materials not working 2013
-
Besides SpaceNavigator being a no show, 2012 Pro will neither print,nor export textures on my Win7 laptop. All I get is line drawings.
I may be missing a simple configuration, but have both Pro 8 and Pro 2013 installed and can find no difference in configuration between the two ... Pro 8 continues to perform/print/export as it always has.
What am I missing?

it seems as if you may be trying to vector print or export to pdf..
these are vector formats therefore will not deal with raster images..
(layout on the other hand has a hybrid mode which can vectorize lines while outputting rasterized images at the same time) -

(layout on the other hand has a hybrid mode which can vectorize lines while outputting rasterized images at the same time)Printing to a printer; exporting to a 2D graphic (jpg), or exporting an animation (mp4); all come out as a line drawing when using 2013Pro, with no textures, colors or materials in evidence.
Same the same actions in Pro 8 with the same file (Pro8), on a paralell installation on the same laptop are all desirable outcomes.
Been using SU Pro in a commercial construction setting for five years with no problems ... baffled.
Gotta be something simple, or misconfigured, a permissions issue, perhaps? But where, why and how??

oh.
in that case, i don't have a clue
hopefully someone else will come along that can figure it out. (but if you figure it out, post the solution here anyway)

Can you post the model here to look at?

Hi Chris, the model makes no difference. A simple rectangle, with any texture/color/material on the face, exhibits the same behavior.

Problem identified, but not solved.
It is an OpenGL problem/BUG with SketchUp2013 Pro.
Turn off "Hardware Acceleration" in Preferences in 2013Pro and the behavior, as described above, becomes normal; IOW, with Hardware Acceleration OFF, both printing and export work with regard to visibility of materials, colors and textures contained in the model.
Once again, I have two installations of SketchUp, Pro8 and 2013 Pro on the same machine.
Pro8 does NOT exhibit this OpenGL problem/bug/behavior on the same machine.
I can visualize a few reasons for this (dual installation with conflicting registry info for starters; a driver issue, or is it just a BUG in 2013's implementaion??)
Whatever the reason, SketchUp 2013 is a total bust for me thus far. Apparently, it is time to test the efficacy of Trimble's $95 support scheme.
OS: Win 7 64-bit
Dell XPS 15
Display Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (driver 9.18.13.697 10/2/12)Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks!
Did fill out a bug report on Trimble's site link in the Bug report sticky on this forum.
Edit: Updated to nVidia's latest driver, to no avail.
