Sketchup 2015

garystan

Hi everybody :

               I'm new to Sketchup 2015. I switched over to Sketchup 2015 (Free version) just recently.   I noticed that when I save a model, I use SAVE AS, then select the location, type in the file name, click SAVE.  I manually went into that same location, and I noticed that, instead of a thumbnail, it shows a "blank sheet of paper".  I tried right-clicking on this file, selected OPEN WITH, selecting Sketchup 2015, and the file opened up correctly.  Is there a setting for "showing thumbnails" ?   I'm running Windows 7 Professional/32-bit.

                                                                  garystan

Are you on 32bit windows? I think it only works on 64bit.

Krisidious :

           Sketchup 2015 (Free version) works with my 32-bit machine. It seems all the tools are functioning correctly.  It's just that when I verify that the file has been saved (to the location I selected), it shows up as a "blank page", instead of a thumbnail + file name (the filename shows). 

                                                                  garystan

What Kristoff is telling you is the thumbnail generation is a 64-bit thing.

          By any chance....is there a 32-bit version of Sketchup 2015.  Other than that, I guess I could try re-installing Sketchup 8.

                                                               garystan

Yes, there is a 32-bit version of SketchUp 2015. You already implied that you installed the 32-bit version on your 32-bit machine. Why would you want to go back to SU8?

Oh... the 32bit issue!

8 had working thumbnails... Just use a program like XnView or Majestic Thumbs.
