Tutorials "does not appear to be a model"
-
Where did you get these tutorials? What file format are they? Could you provide a link so that we can check them out?
-
I downloaded them from the 3d warehouse. My computer at school is now blocking that site for some reason. Here is another link to a school site that has them on their webpage.
http://aisdmsteched.wikispaces.com/Google+Sketchup
The files on my computer say sketchup model and will open fine from my computer. The problem is when I link them to my site
-
Perhaps there's an issue with the school's firewall?
-
The self-paced tutorials at the AISD site are SKP files. I downloaded and opened the Part 3 tutorial with no problem. I looked at your school website but I can't download the files. Strangely the links show different file types depending on the browser. Chrome shows files as SKP but IE doesn't show them as SKP files.
-
yes I can't get sketchup to work on IE at all. I've been opening in firefox.
-
I can download any from the AISD site, because they are 'locally' hosting the skps...
href="http://aisdmsteched.wikispaces.com/file/view/SPT-A_Start_Drawing_Part_2.skp"if you are 'linking' to 3D Warehouse you will run into cross domain download security issues...

So how do I fix that? I have downloaded the models to our school server and I am linking to those files.
-
The path in the html code for the page to that SKP [accessible using right-click 'View Source', which depends on your browser ?] is:
href="http://aisdmsteched.wikispaces.com/file/view/SPT-A_Start_Drawing_Part_2.skp"
so now the link [without thehref=and"] becomes:
http://aisdmsteched.wikispaces.com/file/view/SPT-A_Start_Drawing_Part_2.skp
pointing to the actual file itself.
So you need to establish the path by copying it from the 'source' text-string, then paste it into your browser, then edit it to remove the unwanted parts, then press <enter> to open than URL.
You should be prompted to download the SKP.
Once you have that SKP downloaded, then you can do what you will with it... -

the path will need to be something like they used but with your 'server path' to the files...
href="http://<your_school_server.com/your_directory/our_sub_directory/SPT-A_Start_Drawing_Part_2.skp"what 'code' are you using now? there may be an easy to spot error, or you may need to have 'IT' create a folder for your stuff...
It can vary greatly between servers, so it's a bit hard to guess...

right now the section of code looks like this
</p>
<p class="style1" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><a href="SketchupIntro.skp">Sketchup Intro</a></p>Thats where I have linked it to the file on our server.
Here is a code that shows where I've linked to a sketchup pdf file. It works fine. It's just the interactive models that wont's work.
following practice exercises, click on the links, one at a time, in order: </p>
