Thanks TIG template sorted.

When I open Layout I get a choice of paper sizes going up to A3. If I wanted to save paper sizes A2 to A0 how would I do this. Can you also make editable text blocks like you can in AutoCAD?

I need to make some terrain, just a garden but I want to make it look more natural. Any tips or "How to's"?

Thanks for the chair message!!

The lovegrove model is amazing although I'm not a fan of his work.

Where can I buy your tutorials please?

That SoapSkinbubble tool wow just wow! Do you use that for cushions? I would be interested in when and how to use it.

There is another really good furniture designer using sketchup he often makes jigs that he uses when he builds the furniture if I recall correctly.

I'm with James I'm reasonable at SU but the gallery is full of mind blowing stuff! I guess you use a few plugins?

Thanks Dave!

I feel I'm missing the obvious in fact I'm sure I used to know but how do I stop tiling, as you can see the grass looks terrible. When I drag the green pin it makes the grass to big! The grass is just a standard SU texture/colour.

Just a quick thanks, I'll try to take it all in at the weekend. I'm going to meet up with the Shaderlight people soon as there doing an open surgery type event soon.

Hi people, I imagine there are a lot of people who sketchup for fun, who here works using sketchup?

I draw small garden buildings generally speed is preferred to detail, prior to this I designed exhibitions using sketchup and autoCAD where the opposite was true.

I'm thinking of freelancing in my evenings, preferably furniture/small scale architecture. Is there much work freelancing as I don't see many sketchup jobs, usually sketchup is required as an additional tool to say Adobe/CAD.

Would be great to hear your experiences? Thanks

Hi, Think I have solved this if it's of interest. I removed both SU 7 Pro and SU 8 Pro using a app called appcleaner, I then reinstalled SU 8 Pro typed in the license info and all seems good.

Yes we paid real money!! Thanks for your advice!

No I only use this forum. Perhaps I can download SU 8 again and start from scratch but I'm hesitant to as it is an upgrade so could these cause problems?

I recently upgraded from SU 7 to SU 8, I'm on an imac. I don't have the option to import DWG/DXF this is quite import for the work I'll be doing next week. The copy of SU says (EXPIRED) but I know it's not.

Any ideas please guys and gals?

When you download the SU8 upgrade should I wipe SU7 from my machine??

Thanks for your quick help!

Okay I'll give it a go, it appears to be working again now. Although it says it is running evaluation copy, despite me putting in all the license info. . .

So i import a set of components, only for the components to not show up. What's happening please? SU7 on a mac, we have had countless computer problems at work, but it was fine yesterday. Image attached.

Hi,

So I finally got around to using the tool and it worked fine.

I have now tried to insert the skp in layout, it has imported all the lines but none of the text.

Any answers?

Thanks
