Thanks a lot for your files & comment Dave. However if I open your Layout file the justification is lost and all text is simply left aligned. Same happens when I try placing .RTF files.
Can it be that there is a difference between Mac and PC? I'm using SU8 M2 on Windows 7 64.
Hi all,
Text can be aligned left right and center but I can't find any option to justify text to form a nice block. Any work arounds for this one?
I'm trying to convince my colleagues to use Layout rather than Indesign for SketchUp presentations - but the limited text format options really make it difficult to sell. Layout is great for presentations of models that evolve and need frequent updating or drawings in scale. But the general work flow issues, limited export resolution and missing text features leave Layout behind the competition.
Having said that- I personally like it and use it a lot.
cheers, Thomas
Are there any new solutions out there the full screen presentation problem? I tried both the Layout and SketchUp Viewer work around but neither lets me use my Space Navigator which is crucial for fluid movement and freedom during the live walk through presentation.
Aren't there any plugins there that let me show the SU window in full screen? If you have any other smart workout I'd appreciate your help. The ability to go through the model, talk, stop, go back and discuss details makes a quite powerful presentation compared to a rendered animation.
thanks, Thomas
Hi, just noticed that a save as version 7 doesn't work when trying to open SU7. If I save as version 6 instead it works.
Another problem is if I save a version 6 or 7 and then use the normal SAVE the file gets overwritten as Version 8 again. PC SU pro version on Windows 7.
The good old noisy scroll wheel mouse just died and now I wonder which mouse to invest in. I model a lot in SU (Windows 7) and use as well a 3D Navigator- which btw works fantastic with SU.
Thought about something touch based but the question is if it's impractical or just needs getting used to. E.g Mac mouse or the new Microsoft Touchmouse. (which doesn't have a middle mouse button so no orbit and out of the question)
Is it worth having a few extra buttons to program on a mouse? I travel a lot so something that works on all sorts of surfaces would be good too. Looking forward to suggestions, thanks guys.
