Sketchup/Layout working on a server
Hi all
I have started working at a new company who stores all their files on a server.
When opening, saving and updating Sketchup/Layout files its very slow.Do you pro's keep all your files on the local disc? Does this make it quicker?
The machine i'm using is a brand new gaming PC, Deets below
The internet speed here is about 80 mbps download & upload
Is there an optimum way of organising skp & lo?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Copy and paste not working between files
Hi Box, yes tried that, turns out somehow the wardrobe door i was trying to move was the problem, somehow it got corrupted or maybe the mb count was to high, it did have quite a big psd texture on it, must try it without the texture and see if that works but i just ended up redrawing it. thanks

Copy and paste not working between files
Hi, can anyone tell me why copy and paste between files has stopped working?
It will still work with a simple shape but when i try with anything more complicated it doesnt work.
I have reset the pboard in my activity monitor to no avail.
Im using sketchup pro 2018 on a mac running high sierra
Many thanks in advance

Round corners in 2d
Can anyone tell me if its possible to chamfer or round a corner or angle just on a 2d plane?
Obviously Round corner plugin on a 3d shape, but does it work in 2d?Sure, use the arc tool and it even trims it for you but if you want to chafer multiple offsets on many corners in one operation.
If not is there a plugin available that does this?
As in the image i want to take the corners off a square thats on a face. A=B
Many thanks in advance.

RE: Model references in layout, copy & paste
Thanks for that Dave.
It seems to be behaving itself now.
And I also hadn't thought to duplicate the page so i will be doing that in future if i run into trouble.
The file is 266mb and the viewport wasn't modified.
I guess you would only go file>insert if you wanted viewports from a separate .skp -
Model references in layout, copy & paste
Hi all
When adding a page to your layout document but the reference is too big for your clipboard to copy & paste from the previous page, do you go file-insert-navigate to the file?
I not sure why some of these view ports are to big for the clipboard, the model is quite small but i suppose the texture sizes make a difference.Is there a quicker way?
Thanks in advance for any advise.

Section cut faces wont stay on layer
I have a problem with section cut faces assigned to layers and set in scenes.
I create a section cut, create a section cut face for it and assign it a layer corresponding to that scene.
I do this multiple times and then when i orbit, the section cut faces are still visible.
I select one and it says its on layer 0 even though i just assigned it a layer.
Doesn't happen to any other type of group/component.Im on a mac
Thanks in advance for any advise.

RE: Wish list for Sketchup 2018
A button for locking the orthographic view when working in 2d would be helpful.
Would make panning around easier. If i accidentally orbit i have to click on plan view button again to align the view again. Also maybe being able to rotate the view locked in orthographic would be useful. -
RE: Wish list for Sketchup 2018
I would like to customise my tools bars on Mac like they can be in windows. Floating toolbars are a bit annoying and time consuming moving them around.
