thanks, I'll contact trimble & post here.

ok, dug through my notes from the last time this happened (with a 15.x update), and did this workaround Option 5: Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015. Right-click on the file “ThumbsUp.dll” and select Rename. Rename the file to “ThumbsUp.old”. This will disable the drawing of SketchUp thumbnails in Explorer.
Did it to both 2015 & 2016.
Rebooted, hopefully this will fix it going forward.
If any Trimble employees are here, PLEASE FIX THIS
Thanks,
Glenn

Fixed.
Just tried geo-locating & it works as normal.

SU doesn't support multiple monitors.

This should work

I know this is a bit of an old post, but we at Twilight Render wanted to let you know that after a lot of hard work we are bringing satellite and terrain back to SketchUp Make through Twilight Render Pro and the Terrain Tools AddOn package. We've posted more about it here https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80%26amp;t=68220 or you can visit our website announcement here: https://www.twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10%26amp;t=5861

We hope this provides a useful workflow for all SketchUp users who have been missing their terrain since May!

glenn:
2013 ok and 2014 issues does not mean it is a foregone conclusion the problem is 2014 although probability higher. It sounds like 2014 is waiting from some entity to release its operation such that 2014 can complete the close action. This can be caused by virus, autoruns etc. You would be surprised the number of programs running on you machine.
Make sure you graphics driver, antivirus definitions are up to date and run scan of your system. If your security software has the option check auto runs(startups) and stop programs you do not need and also run registry scan.
I have not seen this issue with my 2014 but using free so Trimble will probably have problem duplicating issue although they should be able to have you run a program to trap failure using some of the System Internals TS tools.

Interesting!

From the article,

According to Globes, a report from Genie’s development team, addressed to Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, describes the invention as a cloud-based collaboration platform with “planning applications to help architects and engineers in the design process, especially for skyscrapers and large buildings. The platform includes planning tools of expert architects and engineers and advance analytics and simulation tools.”

There are some fantastic claims being voice in the article in relation to elimination of waste ...... hope this is the case.

Has anyone seen my wallet?

+1 for a SSD
it should give you a real speed boost (and it's noiseless)

thanks again, I will keep this in mind for the next one.

Alan & Boofredlay,
Thanks for the replies,
hmmm…perhaps I was wrong….. maybe that’s why I can’t find it????
Boofredlay, the kite link you posted is similar, I thought there was one with open cells/chambers (more of an acrobatic chute)?
perhaps I have went over to the 3d warehouse & put the two together in my mind…no offense intended Alan.
On another note, those xxxxxx tufted sofas come in very handy for interior renderings, keep ‘em coming!!!!!
Thanks again,
Glenn

Thanks, interesting comments.
Seems this industry is similar to my prior, manufacturing design. Very cyclical.

Hi everyone!
It's been 5yrs after last post on this topic. Is there any improvement in achieving different paper sizes in the same Layout file? Is this possible?

hahaha ha haha

erm, no, unfortunately

I'm hoping this happens in the new update due sometime later this year

Sad thing. I hope it will change in the future. Thanks for the answer anyway! Cheers!

It's impossible to say what is happening with your DWG file contents without taking a look inside the file(s) themselves. One common error is that a file contains objects that were produced in an add-on, like the walls and other construction objects created with AutoCad Architecture (previously called Architectural Desktop). These must be converted into standard AutoCad 3D geometry in the originating application before importing them into SketchUp.

When importing, SU also ignores entities that do not form geometry, like text and dimensions, imported images and hatches.

SU version 7 cannot read the latest (2010) DWG file format.

Thank you Tig, works like a charm !!!!!

I re-downloaded the zip file, unzipped & it's there.
What a great plugin.
Thank you,
Glenn
