hi there Im Abdul Mujib from Malaysia.just call me mujzisme..Just wanna learn and explore more about sketchup and other knowledge..nice to meet u all..
-
Hi Mujzisme and welcome. Hope you can learn a lot and soon will help other on this board!
-
Great post!
-
^ agreed
-
okay
so how are we supposed to get any plug-ins if we are not allowed to download them?
that whole thing just seems to rub me the wrong way
i mean what if someone has been using SU for years
and they just signed up online today
but they can dl any of the add-ons
(probably because they dont have enough posts [like me])
my question is whats the magic number? -
Hi disturbed. We have it set that after 2 approved posts you are a full fledged memeber of the community. I guess that until that time you are not allowed to download attachments? I didn't realize that. That is unfortunate I think. So one more post from you and you should be all set,
Chris

Guys I do not understand this as "Newly registered members" are supposed to access all attachments. I did double check all these permissions (and know that some people can download these plugins with no problem at all).
-
hmmmmm interesting
well this should take care of it -
Intersting, I had also thought it was set so that any registered member could download. At any rate, he's reached the 2 post threshold so he is now set either way.

The exporters are the only difference between the free and pro versions.
And the ability to create dynamic components, which alone was reason enough for me to go through the considerable hassle of getting a higher ed license for pro.

don't forget Layout and Style builder which only come with Pro, and the ability to choose some other (higher) resolution for your JPG-output than "View Size". Does come in handy for printing stuff!
-
Martha, it was only in version 5 when you could only export screen resolution with SU Free. Now (theoretically) you can go up to 9999 pixels (and even higher on the Mac).
True however that all the printing (e.g. to scale) havoc can be easily and nicely solved in LO (thus it is in the professional package) although strictly speaking it is not "part" of SU but an additional tool.
-
Well, I'm certain it was version 6, since I've never used 5, but have had to deal with max resolution for jpgs. But I've been using pro now for a while and must admit I'm not very up-to-date on the limitations of the current free version
-
Well, I used the free 5 then the free 6 for a while and only then went to pro but I remember when first encountering version 7, I first installed the free version just to see what it can do and only then I installed the pro version.
Anyway, what can be said is that the two programs are exactly the same and what difference can be found are only done by plugins (DC's are also plugins) and other addons like exporters/importers.
This theoretical concept will probably allow the developers a bit bigger freedom as they do not need to maintain two, different versions of the core application itself.

So I'm fairly new to this program and the virtual 3D world in general. I get a little lost when someone explains something and uses one or more words that are specific to the program or 3D programs in general. I know this would be a chore for one person to do but perhaps a thread of such words and their definitions could later be organized alphabetically which can be updated quarterly or something as the thread grows. Just a thought.
