What's Wrong with the Tape Measure Tool
-
Why don't you use a more recent version?
-
And does it have styles?
-
well part of the reason is, 5 is what I'm familiar with, and it does everything I need it to do, but mainly, Ver 5 is back when it was still @Last Software. There weren't that many users back then, I was probably one of only 5-10 other builders in California, active on the forums, using it. I felt almost betrayed when they sold out to google and all of a sudden everyone was using it.
but if I was to upgrade, which version should I go for?
-
Get current and install SketchUp 2016. You can still download SketchUp 2015 but I don't believe you can get a license for it anymore. and you don't want to go back any further.
-
Are you still using the computer from back then? With win 98! I miss that computer but I miss ZX Spectrum even more!

-
XP wasn't that bad! -
yeah I'm on a blazin hot computer now and win 7, which isn't as much of a change from xp as I feared,
I could live with needing to use the ctrl with tape tool, and stay with ver 5, question, why should I upgrade, 5 does what I need it to. What do I get, better performance? I never use plugins / whatever. Don't need to take my modeling to diff heights.
say, how do I Import all my XP textures to this new machine? Go to Library, copy all the skm into a new folder, send it to the new machine, then Import> skm, and select all the skm files at once?

Joe,
Could be a graphics card issue too........might try disabling hardware acceleration under preferences........though I am just guessing that is/was an option in V5.Charlie
-
no, that didn't help Charlie,
-
Joe, Did you do as JQL suggested and look under 'Styles/Guides'?
-
No, there aren't Styles in ver 5 Baz. Can't find 'Guides' anywhere.
say, can someone explain how I transfer all my old materials into this new SUp?
I went to my old machine, SketchUp 5> Library, copied all the jpg and skm, then put them all in the new SketchUp 5> Library folder, restarted SUp but I don't see them.
