Do you have some OS settings to purge old backup files etc that is somehow mis-set and thereby erasing things you want to keep ?

Well I created a new repertory contaning my newest files, and It still ok
I'll watch carefully my Mac.
I'm running OS Lion...
By the way, ..."no news, good news"...

I've never seen that before. I don't think SketchUp is capable of "cleaning" files. The TX file sounds like a file generated by an exporter for a rendering application or by the rendering application. I would try uninstalling the plugins you've loaded and see what happens. I have quite a number of plugins on my Mac and SketchUp is extremely stable.

Thanks por a fast reply...
Firstly, I thought that Kerkythea was the "guilty", but some of the files haven't been exported. And the Tx is a repertory where I can found all the "textures", no more.
Really it's a nightmare.
Could be an "automatic purgue" from Sketchup, Kerkythea or (even) from Mac?,
Thanks

Hi all.
I'm using Sketchup (free 8 version) on my iMac, wich is running OS Lion.
Suddendly, and depending on some plugins it crash...This bothers me, but worse comes next:
From time to time, the programm (I think so) clean the files, leaving only a TX file containing only *jpeg files as textures. No more.
Unfortunately, the time spent in some projects was unrecoverable except for the JPG placed into Picasa, Flickr, Facebook and so one.
Anybody has experienced a problem like the mine?
I've tried to save the files into another directory and the problem still clean...
Can you help me?

Hi all
I like the new SK may vary the width of the lines and their appearance (dots, dashs, etc.) and that could change the color of the lines without using extruded circles
Sorry if this was asked before. Or there's a plugin (always plugings for all)
In this case, Please Mr Moderator, erase this post.
Thanks

Hey all.
Sorry again. English isn't my mother tongue and it's harder to explain...
When I say "coupling tools" I mean rotating and moving away or upwards AT THE SAME TIME.... For example If you try to model a spiral staircase, you need create a disc, copy x times and then selecte the stair one by one. If you could rotate and move upwards (at the same time) this would be easy...
I've call "hand curves" the traces made by hand (free form), wich is in the "Extended tools" below the curve and above the push/pull. I can't use "follow me" with this
And with the reference to the use of scenes, I can explain more precisely. Again I apologize for my english.
So, anyway, thanks a lot to everyone

But it would be interesting "coupling" tools.

What is that?
Waht you read. Working with two tools together

@unknownuser said:

Imagine: rotate and translate when copying,

What do you mean?
Can you rotate and traslate at the same time?

@unknownuser said:

push-pull following curves

Like the Joint Push Pull plugin?
Yes except if you are using "hand curves"

@unknownuser said:

, move P-r-e-ci-s-e-l-y any object without to be insane

like moving an object in the direction you want to go and typing 1.32"?
No. I'm refering moving any object selecting ONLY origing point and destination point.

@unknownuser said:

and export only the "camera window"

What does it export now?
Yes and not. When exporting, certainly it export what you see. BUT it export also what you can't see. Imagine a block of apartments with 24 floors and you REALLY need renderize only 3 or 4...

@unknownuser said:

And...don't forget render !!!

Or integrating a render engine INSIDE...
Could be interesting in the Pro version. It'd be neat to see how SU would handle something as complex as rendering.

My wish list for the future (?) SU9
I can imagine all was asked....
But it would be interesting "coupling" tools.
Imagine: rotate and translate when copying, push-pull following curves, move P-r-e-ci-s-e-l-y any object without to be insane and export only the "camera window"
And...don't forget render !!!

Hi everyone
New (very new) on Sketchup, and old (62, very old), I've discovered a simply way to modelling 3D. Mac user with OS Lion, I had some problems rendering SKU's files properly. Kerkythea doesn't install on my Mac under Lion, but...I keep my laptop, wich (running the old XP) had received it ok.
