Bulls Eye!! 👍 Thanks Richard

Thanks... I must have done something right the problems has disappeared (for now)! I will check with NVIDIA on recommended settings for additional monitors... they advertise this card model as being able to handle up to 3 additional monitors...

Thanks for you quick help

Cheers
David

I hope that suggestion works for you. I forgot to make a couple of screens hots that would have helped. I hope you got the idea well enough, though.

Now you'll have to find some other reason to sing the blues. Did you dog run off and leave you, maybe? 😄

Hello, is it possible to use sets like in this video?
Please start at 0:40

In Cinema4d you can combine any icon (not only Sketchup's own functions) into pallets and save them as layouts.

The handling of Plugin-Sets and Extension-Sets is not quite clear to me yet.

Thanks a lot and stay healthy.

Thanks for sharing this juju... can't wait to get my hands on this beauty of a plugin

Glad it helped.

As long as you keep edges and faces on Layer 0 throughout your models, you'll find things much easier.

Cheers,

Hi John

Windows does not provide a system wide spell checker it's on individual software level.

Cheers David

Sketchup compatibilty is top priority for me as this is the software that I am earning my living with.

adhering to the system requirements seems to have the highest priority then...

Call me old fashioned but I just don't like the idea of having to ... re-learn the operating system...

which would be required switching to a Linux distribution...

@davidmreinbold said:

I am not to keen on the every worsening hidden privacy issues and unwanted data collection side of things either.

you can just disable them... and there are already free tools for doing this in one central place.

in short, sticking with W7 until end of life (beginning of 2020) is the choice of pragmatism.

Hi David, this is Drew from QA on LayOut. Would you mind sharing a copy of the file with me directly? If we have it in house we can run some diagnostics on it and hopefully tease out the error. This issue is nearly impossible for us to re-create from scratch. You mentioned that is has been occurring for some time for you. Do you recall the earliest version of LayOut you saw it on? Also, what type of machine are you using? Thanks David and I'm sorry for this frustrating issue. My email address is drew@sketchup.com if you'd like to talk directly or send a file.

Happy to help. 😄

Thanks Dave that sounds reasonably straight forward...will work through it...cheers

One feature I requested for working on my laptop was the ability to switch on/off dialogues!
The great guys at sketchup wrote it in under >Windows>Hide dialogue.
Using the shortcuts key, I have programmed the "D" key to temporarily toggle the dialogues on or off - great for floating dialogues and maximisng screen real estate - so location of dialogue boxes on my laptop is less of an issue now!
(For the oldies - GDS running on Prime used to have this feature!)

YES PLEASE!

Thanks Tig & Krisidious

Just had a look at Autohotkey. However I decided to go with a nifty little software (644kb) called TinySpell.

This is a great "as-you-type" correction tool which automatically learns from your mistakes adding your preferred corrections to a windows wide dictionary that applies to all programs and browsers. It is very customizable too... see screen shot.

have attached a trial zip, which can be unlocked for U$10, well worth it...it's a keeper! 😍

I still think an inbuilt spell check within Layout is a must.

Thanks again for putting the heads together on this.

How did you make it work in Layout?

Ah I see. You have to go through FILE>PAGE SETUP this happens a lot in Windows where software doesn't retain the paper size and adjust the printer for you. I tend to favour the export to PDF option which gets around the problem in the paperless age but even Adobe Reader needs you to configure the paper if you want a hard copy.

Hi Burkhard

I don't know but this worked!!! Thanks a lot you saved the day.. 😄

Mach's gut!
