Tutorials for future use

Thanks for the recognition Brad and nice tip. I did not even know that folder existed until now.

Dear Brad,

Where exactly is the folder? I have looked in the Google Sketchup folder and all other folders, but cannot find a SelfPaceTutorials directory. I am using the free version of Sketchup 6.

Kind regards,
Bob

Dear Brad,

Belay that request as I have just found the directory. Thanks for the tip.

Regards,
Bob

Isn't that clever.

Here's the directory on my PC:

C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Tools\HelpContent_en\SelfPacedTutorials\

[dylan]

Is this working for everyone else?
If I drop a skp in the Self Paced Tutorials folder, I cannot see it from the help menu.

Do you restart SU? (I haven't tried it yet...)

Yes I restart.

The tuts are sat in the same folder as the Introduction skp which show up on the menu.

[Gaieus]

Are you using thispath:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Resources\en-US\selfpacedtutorials
or maybe you just copied things from SU5 when upgrading and maybe it was located somewhere else?

[bellwells]

I'm having the same problem as Dylan. I've placed the file into the right folder (with the intro.skp file) and restarted SU but, alas, no love.

[Gaieus]

Hm. I tried and it shows up as a menu item.

I went to the tutorial, right clicked and save link as (Firefox) and put it in the same folder that SchreiberBike mantioned, started SU went to Help - SelfHelpTutorials and it was in there.

A great tip.....
