Graphics card issue? Try changing settings such as hardware acceleration.

Seems odd that it's one wall in one model and has never happened before with this machine and this graphics card. I saved the rest of the model as a component, opened it and built a new version of the troublesome wall. No problems so far.

I been working on a simple model that is a rework of an older simple model. When I printed one wall was missing. Exporting as an image gives the same result. Then I realized that I cannot select the problematic wall. It displays as it should on screen, but when I try to select it, the items behind it get selected. All layers are on. Is this some "D'oh" moment that I've never run into this before.

I was just asked by someone how to align multiple objects along their centers. I believe he meant selecting multiple objects and they align there center points. Methods? Plugins?

I run into this all the time. I create a new layer after multiple scenes are already made. Usually, I only want the new layer visible in a few scenes. I now have to switch off the layer scene by scene and update each. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this. I thought I saw a plugin somewhere?

Duh. Thanks guys. Amazing how I always assume things are more difficult then they are.

I've never needed to do this before in SU. How do I set a non-standard view? e.g the equivalent of AutoCAD's Face UCS or Object UCS. I set my axes to the object, but the views don't realign to it.

Every time I restart SU the printer settings return to 8.5x11 letter in portrait. I almost universally print 11x17 in landscape. I made the change in my template, but it does not hold once I restart SU. Is there a way to set this as the default in SU, or must this be done in in the printer driver?

I believe there was a plugin "Unfold" that did what you need.

I've been working on a model and got the popup to fix it. I did. Then every time I save, it pops up again, says it been fixed, then repeats. The details show the same error elements. A short while ago SU crashed with the message that the "model is corrupted and cannot be fixed. Is there a way to find which elements a problematic, then delete them?

What is the "standard" degrees for perspective field of view?

I've had this happen a couple time over the years. While rapidly clicking I inadvertently change the field of view degrees and end up with all kinds of odd looks. Is there a reset to get correct perspective view?

Solved. Found ExportScenes.rb from smustard.

I make lots scenes for views on my models. I often have to generate .jps of the scenes to email to assorted people. I do it scene by scene and this can get tedious. Is there any way to export all scenes/views to jpg? (Or other format. Dwg?) A plugin for this? I tried selecting "print all scenes" to pdf the Adobe pdf printer, but Acrobat/skecthup would not allow it.

Anyone contemplating making Visualizer compatible with SU2016? I understand Visualizer has stopped development. I recently downloaded it but it would not install on 2016.

Odd. My 3D Connexion space mouse is not working in Sketchup, but it works in Rhino and other programs.
When I got the space mouse I had SU2015 and it worked fine. I upgraded to 2016 but had not been using the space mouse. I just brought it back out and only had 1 axis working. Now it does not work at all with Sketchup, but it work in my other programs and the included training exercises. Ideas?

Over the years I sporadically used the Windowizer plugin by Didier Bur. I don't think it's been updated to the new .rbz install format. Is this correct? If not, is there a similar plugin for quick loose window generation?

thanks

I am a SU and AC user. Every now and then I fire up LO and there is always something I can't get right. Today. The dimensions with extension lines that go into the viewport object are hidden behind that object. (See pic) Why?

Also, The section plane shows up in the viewport, even though it is switched off in the model.

Further, trying to snap to a point of a section with the dimension tool is guess work. It never snaps.

Ok. I'm now getting around to configuring the LO2016 like my LO2015 as in the image in my OP. So I accept that I have to rebuild my toolbars. At least I have the image of the tools to follow. However, I can't find where to add the icons that I made. Options to edit icons are grayed out on commands that don't already have a button. If I recall, in 2015 there was an option to assign icons. Where is it?

Since moving to SU2016, I'm having a problem saving Profile Builder 2 profiles to the
libraries. Not sure why I'm locked out. I assume it's something I need to
configure.

I have an extensive library that I copied over from SU2015 to the
equivalent folder in SU2016. I can access all the profiles in the
libraries, but I can't add new ones. See Error pic. both SU2015 and SU2016 are on the same Window 7 machine.
Suggestions?

The email address I had for the PB2 coder, is no longer valid. The only communication avenue I found was the FaceBook page. Anyone know if there is a better way?

I've made custom toolbars with custom icons for use in Layout 2015. Is there a way to export these to LO 2016? If no builtin feature, it there a folder or file where this info is stored that could be copied over as a workaround?
