Etaoin: I found out I was not using the correct arc tool, and when I did, it behaved correctly. Sorry to bother you all with a dumb question, but that's what Newbie forums are for. Thanks for your reply. JA

Greetings! I'm having difficulties with the Arc tool. No matter where I click to start the arc, 9 out of 10 times it draws the part of the arc I don't want, i.e., if I want an arc from A to B clockwise, I get A to B counterclockwise. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to print a very simple 2D drawing to scale in Layout. My SketchUp file (attached) consists of a vertical line with horizontal hash marks at 2mm intervals. I need to print this at an accurate 1:1 scale. How the blazes can I do this? When I import my SketchUp file, I get a window that shows only part or none of my drawing, and I can't change the borders of the window without changing the scale. I'm completely confused as to why it's so hard to do such a simple thing. Help! (Please don't assume I know anything about Layout.)

Right! Thanks.

Just got a license for Sketchup 2019 Pro. When I click on "3D Warehouse" I get a menu with Share Component greyed out and Share Model in black. I don't want to share. I want to import 3D Warehouse models. Can't figure out how to do it, just as I've been doing it for years with previous Sketchup versions. Help!

Dave R,

Fixed it. Thanks.

Have you added your custom components folder to the favorites list in the Components window?

No, and I don't know how to do this. Above the "Favorites" sections is the following list: In Model, Components, My Models, My Collections. I have set the address for "Components" to the folder that contains my components, but it doesn't work.

What version of SketchUp are you using?

Version 17.2.2555 64-bit.

Did you installed it correctly using Run as administrator in the menu that opens when you right click on the installer file?

Don't remember. I think I double-clicked on the installer file and let it run.

Greetings! I can't get the Components window of my Default Tray to point to my components library. I have set the components folder location correctly in Window/Preferences. I can Import from that folder. In Sketchup Preferences, when I click on the printer symbol for Components, I get a correct listing of all the components in the folder. But when I select
"Components" in the tray sidebar, no files are listed. What am I doing wrong?

Finally found it. I had everything set correctly under the File/Document Setup and File/Page Setup menus, but didn't realize that there are also settings under SketchUp Model in the Tray. Thanks.

I'm trying to print something very simple (a rectangle 2 x 4") in its actual size. My units are set to inches, scale is set to Full Size. The dimension tool gives dimensions of 2 x 4", but no matter what I do, the printed object comes out at about 90% of actual size. What is going on? This should be simple!
