I really appreciate how you can take multiple sections cuts by nesting groups and components. However, I recently tried to take three sections cuts of one object by artificially nesting as necessary to make this possible. On the third cut, the second section cut would lose functionality. The line of the cut is shown, but it isn't taking the section.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Sk13 on Mac

Is this a general Sketchup 2013 issues forum? I'm going to go with that and ask...

I installed a plugin that causes my SK13 to crash frequently, which led me to discover that upon crashing Sketchup will lose my shortcuts. At that point I figured I would just get a standard sketchup shortuct list and copy it into the application folder, but I could not find it.

I have been able to find it on PC's no problem and previous verions, but much like the Plugins folder, which I can't find either, it doesn't appear to be in the Application Support drive. In fact, I can't find anything SK13 related in there, unless I seem to have done some strange custom intall by accident.

So the main issues amongst those problems is that I keep losing my shortcuts and it is making modeling incredibly annoying, and I can't find the shortcuts log to install my standard list.

Help would be appreciated.

Okay, I was working with it some more, and so far, it seems the split command works fine if I split, join, split, join...etc. However, if I split a shape then try and proceed to split it again without joining it with anything the splitting continues to cut from the shapes (leading to what I showed in my attached image).

Is there a way to "end" the command? Or split something in multiple places without necessarily joining it with something?

Those shapes do have a stroke outlines, sorry if the images isn't clear. However, I have tried it both ways to no effect...

Issue,

I seem to be able to use split on a shape once, then the tool starts acting erratically. If I try and split a shape a second time, the tool will act as if it is cutting the shape from a random point. It will not longer separate the shape into to other shapes rather it just cuts and deletes.

It is a bit hard to explain so here is a visual...

Top shape - Separate Shapes
Middle Shape - Split, but not joined
Bottom Shape - A second attempt at splitting with the new circle, the split tool continued to "cut" the rectangle rather than trimming out the overlap. Joining doesn't seem to effect the process one way or another.

I'm probably just missing something simple here...

...wow I feel kinda embarrassed. Thank you Dave, I kept hitting enter or tab to set the shortcut like you said. It's funny how something so obvious was completely unclear at the time.

Thanks,

Shortcut issues,
OS: Mac OSX Lion
Sketchup 8 Pro

I cannot find the shortcut.plist file on my Mac, does this even exist? I looked all over the place including, Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 8/Sketchup...

When I try to assign shortcuts I repeatedly get the warning that the desired key cannot be assigned. I seem to be able to overwrite my Sketchup.dat file with one that has settings that I like, but if I ever want to change a shortcut assignment I get the same error. Sometimes it lets me reassign a used letter. For example, if P is used for Push I can reassign it to Perspective, but after that change I cannot reassign P to Push (and get the same error message). Once I reassign a letter it becomes unusable for future changes. If I reset all my shortcuts, I cannot assign shortcuts to anything...and get the same error message.

I have no idea what is going on, but it is incredibly annoying.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

When I said I installed the plugins into the administrator's HD I meant I was using the Administrator's access to the system HD so the plugins would work for all users on the computer.

I had thought by installing plugins while a "user" you are creating a path to the user's data not the system HD, which is what Sketchup uses for its supporting files...so I installed them on the system HD using admin access.

I ran your path into the Ruby Console and it came up with what seems to be an accurate location for the plugins. The Plugins are located right where it says Sketchup searches. When logged in as the user or the admin the plugins show up in the Application Support right where they should be, but they file but cannot be found by sketchup.

I apologize if I'm missing something obvious here.

Have begun downloading plugins and have received loading errors with my Mac Plugins.

Error Loading File array_to.rb
no such file to load -- array_to.rbError Loading File pageExIm.rb
no such file to load -- pageExIm.rbError Loading File SimplifyContours.rb
no such file to load -- SimplifyContours.rbError Loading File weld.rb
no such file to load -- weld.rb

These Plugins function fine when logged in as an administrator, but produce errors within a user's account.
They were installed by being downloaded then copied and pasted into the administrator MAC HD as you can see from the image.

If someone could help solve this problem I would really appreciate it,

• Thanks
