MAC - Entity Info Window
-
I have tried everything including disabling plugins, reinstalling and rebooting, even just loading a standard template but I can't get the volume to display, I can only adjust the width of the info box. I can modify the shape of other windows but this one seems fixed.
Any suggestions for a fix as I use this for quick quantity take offs?
O.S.: MAC OS X Mavericks 10.9.2

hi,
your plist entry is probably broken...
you could bin the whole thing, empty your trash, the do a mac restart...
or you could try to fix it from 'Ruby Console', may not work, but may...
copy/past these into 'RC' and hit return/enter
first see whats already there...
1:%x(defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.sketchup.SketchUp.2014.plist EntityInfoPanel_viewsize 2>&1))mine returns
250, 118
2:%x(defaults delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.sketchup.SketchUp.2014.plist EntityInfoPanel_viewsize)3: run 1 again by using the up arrow twice...
4: add a sightly silly size...%x(defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.sketchup.SketchUp.2014.plist EntityInfoPanel_viewsize '200,800')5: run 1 again
Drag the edge triangle and run 1 again, it should be updated...
YMMV, but report back either way

I've also had luck fixing this using Reset Workspace in Preferences.

@ John. Thanks for the suggestions I do go into panic mode when I see code. The suggestions are appreciated and would have been tried but...
@ Dave, "Reset Workspace" in preferences seems to have cleared it for now and was simple to implement. I was also relieved to find my custom toolbar remained intact.
Thank you both. Problem fixed.
