Hi TIG, Gaieus,
Gaieus, the first thing I must say you look good on the new avatar.
thanks for your answers. A friend of mine asked me that question. I also read the previous thread on this subject and I have read the license conditions four times but I wanted to be sure.

Hi Cotty,
according to the terms of use, SketchUp Free can be used only in non-commercial areas.
Charly
Hi to All,
would you consider the participation in this contest as a commercial use if you use own SketchUp free models for? Or the question of where the commercial use of Sketchup free begins.

An answer would be highly appreciated.

Hi ArchSol,
maybe there is a code missing. Try the free Windows 7 Codec Pack. You did not mention your
windows version.

Hi Oli,
a very interesting scene. The grass seems very realistic. You're just an artist.

Hi,
Arise to leave the wrong impression, I love Sketchup. I also see it not in competition with other 3D CAD programs.
I think Sketchup has its small place in the field of 3D visualization for architectural objects.
For this purpose, the program was designed for and nothing else. For use in the planning of major industrial and architectural projects, the program has simply not the necessary tools.
That we also can design and visualize other complex objects in Sketchup, is largely due to the Ruby programmers. We also know that SketchUp has its limitations, for example in terms of high-resolution objects. I am also not worried about what others think about Sketchup. If anyone can use the program in his professional environment, it has served its purpose. Only the result counts. And we Hobbyists are happy that we have a tool with which we can implement our ideas virtually.
I think in technical or architectural projects the 3D visualization represents only a fraction of the whole project work. I think that is one of the reasons that many professionals pay less attention to Sketchup.
I also think "Trimble" will see Sketchup only as a complement, for the visualization of objects in his own programs. I can not imagine that "SketchUp" is further developed into a super modeling tool. Rather Trimble will try, to integrate the program into its own existing programs as a visualization tool.
Sorry if my english is not so perfect.

Hi,
I recently had a small problem. I wanted to insert a symbol into a 3D text. I stood in front of question where I can find the icon on the keyboard. Then I remembered the good old Windows character map. With this it was very easy.

Hi,
I have a small question again. I have tried to export the model into Kerkythea but the picture is not visible in Kerkythea. Why?
Hi Chris,
thanks for the tip, I'll try it.

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your help. Actually quite simple if you know it.

Hi,
I have already described that problem in an earlier thread. My SketchUp starts in 95% of cases without this problem.
At irregular intervals Sketchup starts in a minimized window, then the toolbar is messed up.
Sometimes this happens even when I download a Sketchup file from the forum or from Google Warehouse.
Even the reset command no longer works!. However, I put up with this problem and I have only the most commonly used tools in my tool bar.

Hi nestednode,
english is not my native language. Maybe that's the reason that I do not exactly understand what you want to have. Maybe you could give us a small sample in a SketchUp drawing.

Hi to All,
I have not worked much with the "photo match" tool. I wanted to practice a bit. The model can be seen but only transparent. I have looked at the options in the Styles settings but I'm stumped.
What am I doing wrong? Any help is much appreciated

Hi Kindra,
Welcome in the Forum.
This was my first attempt with a SketchUp model in Photoshop CS6 Extended.

In general, the rotation is working without problems. You just have to select the entire model.
Yes, the Skp model shown by me was just opened by me in "Inventor Fusion".
