Hi Dave R,
Thank you for asking why the file is so BIG...
I think it could be linked to Intersect faces with Selection
This is what I did to find the section line between two selected objects.
It could be some hidden geometry added.
I have to inspect the model...

massimo,
The model looks great...
The metal and paint are even better

Looks good...

Really 'Warm' and 'User Friendly' interior...

I found the file and TIG is right...
Unique Watermark for each Scene

Hi Dan,
They have to strip the Full Version again but not too far
The Free and Viewer Mode (2 in 1) make sense - you would save SKPV in PRO Version and open in Free Version as View-Only.
I have seen that somewhere. Can't remember where

Hi alexschreyer,
I would like to see the Full Screen 'button' in Full Version not just in Viewer - good idea

AutoCAD - Ctrl + 0
Photoshop - Tab
Various Software including IE, FF and so on - F11 or
we could have even more sophisticated button mode Professional Mode

Draw the required line

Hi pbacot,
Only a to b doesn't work for me.
Rest is fine. I'm using auto-fold.
I have noticed that you have snapping ON under Model Info -> Units - Sometimes it doesn't help.

Dan,
I think artmusicstudio is talking about 'Global Shadow Override Button' in SU Viewer (ON or OFF) regardless on how the SU Scenes are set - good idea.
At present SU Viewer is reading Scenes settings set in SU.
If shadow was ON - is ON in the VIEWER - you cannot override the settings or update the Scene.
Of course you can Switch OFF but, is ON again when you jump to the next Scene which has shadow.

Dan, I agree with you on Animation.

Overall, SU Viewer needs to get few more buttons (ribbon would be nice) to have 'more room to maneuver'.
The buttons exist - somebody needs to switch them ON

14. Read-Only Encrypted SKPV File Format
    ONLY the SketchUp Viewer can open this file format.
    ONLY the SketchUp Pro edition(s) can write out this format, ( ... but cannot open / edit a .skpv file.)
    A Protect feature that prompts the user for a password in the SketchUp Viewer, when a protected skpv file is opened. (The password is set when the file is created in SketchUp Pro.)

Wow...
SKPV, similar to AutoCAD's DWF - supposed to be a Read-Only format like PDF to protect content from 'Copy and Paste'.
I'm not sure about the protection - people would come with own ideas to access SKPV file (like they can access PDF or DWF).

The easiest way at present is to explode everything in SU and make one 'MASSIVE GROUP'

With regards to password - you could integrate ZIP Archive with Password when saving *.SKP file and UNZIP with Password when try to open.
SU + 7-ZIP = 2 in 1

Hi Dan,
From personal experience and from watching our clients' 'habits' we would like SU Viewer to have the following:

1. Select tool icon should be available like in SU
2. Tape Measure tool icon should be available like in SU
3. Protractor tool icon should be available like in SU
4. Display Section Planes + Display Section Cuts tool icon should be available like in SU
5. Dimension tool icon should be available like in SU
6. Layers tool icon should be available like in SU

NEW !
7. Entity Info tool icon can be made to get some basic info.
(we would prefer icon rather than context menu under 'mouse right click' - something similar to Model Info tool icon in SU)

And the last request:

• all icons should be loaded by default (no hidden options available) and
• loose as many top menu items (especially all the duplicated by icons/toolbars)
• keep File and Help

At present we are asking anyone involved in our project (or 'happy to have a spin with our model') to download Free SU Version but:

• they are overwhelmed with the amount of options available or
• they are starting to change the model

Reading my wishlist again, it sounds like completely NEW SU Viewer

Hi Helmi,
Do you know or use AutoCAD ?
I did some short guideline on how to vectorize PDF -> AutoCAD -> SU - assuming that PDF has linework.
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=45500

I was checking other options using Free Inkscape - from PNG directly to DXF R13

Hi Guys,

This is the 19th September 2012 Grand Design - Series 7 Episode 4 with CNC in action...
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/grand-designs/4od#3414075
CNC + REVIT = BUILDING

I wonder if that could be done with SU - I assume it could...
CNC + SketchUp = BUILDING

They are using MultiCam 1000 Series

I'm not sure if you can watch outside UK - maybe you could use some proxy servers to 'overcome the hurdle'...

PS. I'm watching the topic closely

Amen...
