SketchUp 2016 is here....
-
hey guys, quick question - where can i set maxium texture size? before version 2016 there was unter windoe/model info/rendering the possibility to use max texture size!!
would be very nice if this was there in 2016 too - maybe it is but i cant find it:/
-
It is (and was) here: preferences -> OpenGL
-
found the solution - ... sorry
i must sleep i think -
Not sure how to hide trays, like Paul did, so just their tabs are displayed. All I can manage to do is dock them with the help of those blue and white arrow glyphs that pop up when I drag a tray around the screen.

Brad Schell and Joe Esch need to start up a new company. They had a huge following, they sold out, they retired, and they should be tired of retiring by now and do something meaningful like come up with a better Sketchup!

How about SU for the iPad Pro ?

create your new tray -( window-new tray ) then follow prompts.
once you have your new tray floating on your screen do the following.
You can then click the little staple thing again to undock it when you want to, and just double click it and auto hide it again to put it back.

thanks!
(Isn't it fun using a mouse to write words on a clipping tool's screen cap?)One thing I noticed with the materials tray - when you strike the B key, the tray does not automatically pop open.

Did you bind the B key to the tray-toggle?

Go to windows / preferences / shortcuts
add the letter of your choice.
I noticed many of the old default shortcuts to have gone missing in 2016

I have not installed 2016 yet. However, I've just read this thread and there much talk about the LO styles "Tray" in SU. This has me very apprehensive. (I do not like the tray system of LO.)
I have a Dual 30" monitor set up. In the software packages I use, my Right monitor is for the actual work screen, and the Left has all my panels open. e.g components, materials, layers etc. Am I understanding correctly that the trays can only be docked to main work space (my Right monitor) and I can't move them to the second monitor? As it is, I don't expect much from Trimble. But really, for me anyway, the trays are a backward step.

You can have multiple trays. They can be docked left, right, top or bottom, they can float and can be moved to other monitors. They can autohide or remain static.

Hi
I tried to use Trimble Connect, made a Login and tried to share a file. But allways when i "Trimble Connect - open or publish model just nothing happens. If i open Trimble connect there is "no Project". Did anyone tried this out? -
Obviously the people developing Sketchup doesn't use it at all, the same annoying bugs are still here, and the new features are just inexistent.
This is so frustrating, puzzle games on iPhone have more improvements on each updates than Sketchup releases.
SKP 2015 (14.1 really) was already poor in innovation but 2016 (14.2) just got a +1 to its current name.
What have they been doing for 1 years, gathering crappy jpgs for the "new" textures ?
I could post a full list of bugs and needed features, but they obviously do not care as many people already done that with no results. -

V 2016 is unusable for me, the inability to reliably move a group or component by locking the axis of movement means that ANY movement of components and groups is slow and tedious. I will wait until the first maintainence release and see how it goes from there. Even drawing a line by locking axis of the line fails.
-
Your comments suggest to me that you aren't understanding how to move things.
Click and release on a suitable part of your group with the move tool, this will attach it to the Cursor. You can freely move around with it or lock it to an axis with the arrow keys. Only when you click and release again will it be placed.
-
Short reply, yes mate I DO know how to do that.

Mike you CAN lock the axis of movement on a group, I do it all day long.
Most frustrating part of 2016 for me is the increase in bugsplats with such simple operations.
