Hi Dave, thanks for mentioning it. We have been seeing some reports of this, and we have been able to reproduce it on about 10% of our Macs. We'll be working on a fix for this. Thanks!

hi

you can read the file from the confort of SU's Ruby Console using

`defaults read -app /Applications/Google\\ SketchUp\\ 8/Sketchup.app 2>&1 | grep "ShowInferenceTips" 2>&1`

that will return "SketchUp.Preferences.ShowInferenceTips" = YES; or No
you can change it from here as well with

`defaults write -app /Applications/Google\\ SketchUp\\ 8/Sketchup.app "SketchUp.Preferences.ShowInferenceTips" YES 2>&1`

if you want to read or change any preferences, you can read all with the bit before grep, the 2>&1 just sends error messages, to check it's working...
after you can restart from 'Ruby Console' using

Thread.new{`sleep 5 && cd / && open Applications/Google\\ SketchUp\\ 8/Sketchup.app`}; Sketchup.send_action('terminate;')

you can change 'most' things from here without them being overwritten on close or open, and you can check on re opening and use Terminal.app if it fails to stick... [slightly different code, report back if you need it]

yeah, but I am pretty sure I made the mac ones from a windows set I downloaded once, so I thought they might be out there all done.

Do you still have the menu?
Things to do are:

check the Toolbar visibility Check you have the subfolder JPP_Dir in your Sketchup Plugins folder (it precisely contains the icons)

... The Polygon Tool then works as it should, but that's not what's described in the Help/Knowledge Center...

I don't know what the help center says but the story is:
Either with the 'Circle' tool, the 'Polygon' tool or the 'Arc' tool, when first selecting the tool you see "sides" as the expected input at the 'Measurements' box.
Only at this time you can omit the s for sides. Right after the first click you'll need to include that s when you would like to change the number of sides used by these tools. You'll see radius (or length/bulge for arcs) but this is ignored due to adding the s. The order of entering radius and sides does not matter. The included s is important for SketchUp.
After drawing the entity you can still change your mind for both radius or sides.
With the arc you can still change bulge or radius (include r) and sides (include s) in any order.
After selecting anything else the story is over.

you can solve this problem by using an app like "the unarchiver" instead of compression utility, This way when you unzip the file it'll be a exec file with the .style extension. hope this helps you 😄

P.S. sorry for my bad english 😞

Boy, is this an old post to dredge up.

There's no need to extract the contents of .style files. They should be placed exactly as they are into the Styles folder.
