seems to me this 'siteGrader' is the same function as the stamp function within sandbox (standard plugin)

Fredo,
Amazing plugin.
Your plugins really help my work flow go smoother.
Thank you,

Windows keeps being a mystery to me.
Not so long ago Tig mentioned the fact that being logged in as administrator not necessary meant you had full rights on every directory. So in order to overcome this he suggested all the usual directory's (sketchup, plugins,..) should all have this full admininstrator rights attributed to them. I don't recall anymore according to which plugin this was mentioned. BUT I then made sure all rights where given, and in the end the plugin worked. Seems that, for what ever reason (microsoft?) this now isn't anymore the case (altough all the other plugins work), for the plugin folder!
So again I changed the rights and "hoera !!" it works.
And may I say, fantastic plugin !!! So often when moving things (even after checking in x-ray mode) you missed a face of a vertex in the background and therefor messed up your model whit out noticing it. And when you found out later there is so much correction to be done (or some times it is virtual impossible timewise).
So for this great plugin. (not to mention some other great plugins you made) Thanks,
erikB

Seems like a really, really!! useful tool.
But auto-install with sketchUp plugin manager (I even tried it twice) doesn't install it ?
Am I missing something, or is something missing ?

Hi,
I am a firefox user, but updated IE with link above,... and it works !! Great plugin.
One downside now my layer panel doesn't work anymore with the caption, "update your IE" ?
There is definitely something wrong with my settings but no worries, I will try and get both plugins to work.
erikB

same here.
also SU8 pro and win 7 (64)
I also think I have all the administrator rights set on every subdirectory.
Strange, I can see the icon but can not click on it nor can I change the number.

Great plug-in !
thanks,
erikB

thanks for the update, great plugin I use it regularly.
erikB

continuous to be a mystery. Without any plugins it seemed to be OK,... but suddenly, bingo, 1 core to 100 %. Uninstalled SU, installed the previous version. Same result.
Perhaps it is a windows 64 thing ? Strange is that although the core is at 100 % even if I am doing nothing, but when I switch to another program, say Exel,the core drops do a normal percentage.
erikB

great idee
why didn't I think of that !
thanks thomthom

Odd. Does your graphics card share memory and/or processing power with the processor? Is it integrated graphics on the processor? This could be the reason for the high demand on a single core, I have an i7 desktop that has no such issues. I have another computer with intel integrated graphics I could test SU on if needed to see if that's the issue.

No, it is a separate graphics card (so I am told) but is in laptop and both the I7 and nvidia card are M(obile) versions of the desktop versions.
Seems unlikely it has anything to do with the hardware since I ahave been running these programs on the laptop for at least 2 years and never had that problem before.
@thomthom said:

I'm going to guess it might be a plugin.

This was my first thought to ! So I unloaded the SU4Thea plugin since this was the latest plugin I installed and because it apparently rely s heavy on observers I thought it might trigger something. But with the su4thea loader name changed so it wouldn't load it still occurred. So I will have to try all my latest plugins one by one.. trial and error.

but thanks for the head up, guys.

I have following system :
i7mobile, 8GBram, nvidea GT330m, win7 64b, sketchup 8 pro.
Here is my problem. I have only noticed it recently, but when I am working in SU (not even a big model) suddenly one of the core's goes to 100% ...and stays there! Even if I stop doing anything in SU it still stays at 100 %. It can not be a ram problem.
I don't know exactly when t started but I recently upgraded my SU, some windows updates.
Any thoughts anyone ?

hi,
back online with sketchucation !
I thought it wasn't going to happen. Seemed I couldn't get past the ad blocking thing.
Searched trough all my windows settings, all my firefox settings, all my norton settings nothing seemed to work. Finally I found a small add-on (I completely forgot about) DoNotTrackMe from Abine where buysellads is mentioned in the list of to block tracking cookies from. Allowed it, just for this site, and ... presto ! Slow but it works again.
@notareal,
with this add-on I could allow buysellads to have permission for just the site of sketchucation. I am not technical enough to know if this overcomes your objections towards allowing bysellads in sketchucation? But perhaps the info could help.
greetings,
erikB

congratulations, especially to your wife because she had to do all the hard work!
Hopefully not to many sleepless nights ahead !

I have been on this forum since the startup and even on its predecessor in the ...@last days.
But I guess it will not be possible anymore. Win 7, firefox, norton security suite and its is impossible to see the downloads. Tried everything, even shutting down norton completely, allowing all cookies and installing adblock just to turn it off for the sketchucation site. Nothing worked so if there isn't anybody who knows some secret place I have to change some mystery settings it is (sadly) bye, bye.
greetings erikB

ps. what is weird is that the add banners at the top of the site are visible, that the admachine add at the bottom also is visible, but that the images or download are not accessible.

Thanks TIG, very handy ruby !!!
erikB

thanks TIG, very handy!
erikB

ones again, many thanks for this very useful tool.

If you haven't saved it twice you can always rename the skb file to skp and you have the previous saved version.
greetings, erikB

nice render, good lighting but I think the steps of the ladder are out of scale.
Compare them to the height of the Eames chair and you will see what I mean.
