    • RE: Wish list for Sketchup 2018

      I have seen so much criticism of the tray system, introduced in SU 2015, that I must come to the defense of the trays. If you use two monitors as many of us do it's a great way of organizing windows for quick access. Even with one monitor the trays can be hidden with the auto-hide feature.

      Also the biggest advantage of SU is it's basic simplicity -no new tools please. That's what plugins are for! And finally please don't change nomenclature - I still call it the VCB whatever SU has changed the name to.

    • Wish list for Sketchup 2018

      I will start out with a request for an automated migration tool so that I don't have to waste hours manually migrating form one version to the next.

    • RE: Extensions missing from Preferences in SU Pro 2017

      Thanks Tig! I had to do a clean instal of 2017 and then download 3.0.4 but it's working now.

    • RE: Extensions missing from Preferences in SU Pro 2017

      I have a problem with Extension Store in 2017 in that the Extension store only opens a a minimized bar. Clicking on maximise only changes the position of the title bar and trying to drag to a larger window does nothing. I have been forced to use the native SU Extension warehouse which is both slow and limited. Anyone else having this problem?

    • RE: I need a new mouse

      I've been using my CadMouse for about two weeks now and love it. It is about 1/3 larger than a simple scroll mouse in all dimensions so it might not be suitable for folks with small hands, and I can't imagine lefties being able to use it. It definitely requires the mouse pad. The surprise for me was how useful it is for non CAD applications.
      I note that Rich O'Brian has tweeted about it.

    • RE: Working on 2 screens and sometimes only 1 doesn't work...

      I operate with SU on my primary monitor and keep the windows I use most on my secondary monitor. Ever since SU 7 the arrangement has stayed that way; however the last two weeks both the SU drawing window and the menu windows appear on my primary monitor - I can of course move them to my second monitor, but when the session ends and I reopen SU it goes back to the primary monitor. How do I lock them? I've tried the above solutions but no joy.

    • RE: 2015 crashing windows explorer

      Still not a complete solution, I have to right click and open with SU 2015 to keep Explorer from crashing. And now I can't move groups or components in the outliner. My latest drawing the foundation remains in the "roof", in a couple of days I will try another repair copy of SU2015 - my 4th copy!

    • RE: 2015 crashing windows explorer

      Thanks Jo-ke,

      please post when you get an answer!

      Later: I downloaded a new copy of 2015 and the problem seems to be solved (also a related? problem that drawings would be opened in2014 with a pop up that requested me to download 2015) I am spending more time on 2015 issues than I am drawing in 2015 - frustrating!

    • RE: Plugins Not Compatible with SU2015-64bit

      Scalp is causing my copy of SU2015 to crash on opening. I just tried installing a fresh copy from the plugin store and got the same results
