Hi all, my name is Michele, I'm from Italy but I live in Japan since 2007.
I am still a beginner of SU but I really enjoy using it both for work and for hobby.
I use it at work as a presentation tool for solar business and then at home I just model common objects for practice.
Thank you all for putting so much knowledge in this forum.Here is a simple rendering I made of a moka coffee pot.

Hi, Alfonso, and Welcome:
Post a question in the Sketchup Discussions Forum. Give as much detail as you can about the symptoms. Likely, your issue has been discussed before.

@Alf
Have you used Model Info > Statistics > Purge Unused... ?
Check for things that are hidden [View > Hidden Geometry > ON] and/or on OFF layers: switch them 'ON'... decide if you need to keep them...
How big [kb] are the images you have used as textures for materials ? -

But I am getting my wife to sign up too, and she might be the most active, as she is the real designer in this little family

Hi All,
I'm a newbie SketchUcationer and this is my first post.
I work with a landscape architect, and use SU to help work out design ideas and create final presentations to help clients better visualize projects.
I'm interested in honing my skills as a SU modeler, and look forward to learning more about SU from the folks at SketchUcation.
Looks like a great site! -
Hi,
My name is Eliana. I've been a website designer for the past 15 years, and looking for a new career. I just started learning SketchUp, and I wonder if one can make a career out of it, without being an architect, landscape designer, product designer...
What's the best way to get started? Does this site have a series of online courses, or do you pick and choose from the tutorials?
Thanks,
Eliana -
Halo.. I'm from Malaysia and would love to learn as much skills as I'm allowed.
I'm currently a student in product design. Still new to all 2D n 3D software so I'm having problems doing my work, especially presentation panels.
Anyway, what is a mood board or concept board? Fashion lecturers say it is something that tells a story about our product and made into 3D form (this is for minor class on footwear design) but Industrial Design lecturers say it's a compilation of pictures that explains about our product (this is for major class on product design). I'm confused..
2nd question is what software should i use to open sketchucation's plugin downloader? My computer can't open it. Something about .rbz, I think.
Nice meeting everyone. Thank you for your time. -
Hi, I'm Adey. I am just starting out in SketchUp, purely as a hobbiest. I have no experience in Architecture or Design, but plenty in learning software, so the plan is to play around with SketchUp and to just have some fun, and see where it leads.
Regards

Hi Adey and Nur. Welcome to Sketchucation. Have fun!
Nur: load .rbz within Sketchup under Preferences / Extensions "Install Extension"

I'd say until you pass the course the concept board is whatever your professor says it is.

Hi, I'm Reekardo. I'm trying to make plans for my house remodel. I'm a newbie in drafting, construction, and Sketchup.
I've bought Sketchup Pro 8 and naively thought that Layout 3 would be adequate for this project. It seems to me that Layout 3 is pretty unpolished and I've been struggling with it.
I've been trying to proof my ArchD sized drawing on my HP LaserJet printer. Everytime I print, it only prints the upper left hand corner of the drawing. Is there someway to get tiled pages printed so that I can tape together a full size drawing?
I've tried to export to a PDF and have used two different third party PDF print drivers without success. I've tried to do this on a Windows 7 64 bit computer and my ancient Windows XP desktop. I'm upgrading to a much hotter desktop with a boatload of memory very soon running Windows 8.1 and hopefully that will help.
Ultimately I might just use InDesign because I just bought a 64 bit version of Adobe CS6 and I'm kind of familiar with Adobe products.
Any suggestions for successfully printing? Is it possible to layout on a letter size drawing and then somehow scale it up to a D size (36" x 24") drawing?
When can I join the forums as a member in good standing?
Thanks!
