Thanks MIke!

Oh, Ok, looking at the background of your image it isn't in what would normally be referred to as an electronics clean room. Computers are dust magnets and dusk is one enemy of electronics. Your pc case has open slots and significant evidence of dust inhalation. I'd be putting it in an enclosure myself.

Converting an internal hdd to an external hdd gives you an extra drive. Useful.

right on Rich.

How about a monitor wall mount -single or dual, -they can be folded and placed against the wall & can swivel, 360° rotate, allowing you to adjust the angle as you want. With swiveling arms and freely adjusting height, you can ensure optimal viewing is easy to find the perfect spot. They usually have cable management ducting which prevents cables from being scattered and tangled, making your workspace more tidy and organized!

That would have been a hoot PB!

Saw that! Well done! 👍

Very cool! 👍

never mind it fixed itself!

Yeah I'm tired of buying chairs to try out, what I do now is lean way back so the weight's off of my butt, and prop my feet up on my old computer that I put under the desk. It's leaning forward to see the screen better that messes up the old back.

Joe, I'm using a curved Dell U3818DW and I see no change in how my images are shown on the screen or in how they compare printed out. Now this is NOT a cheap monitor ($1,000 and up) and will look better than a less expensive one. I'm running mine at 3840x1600 at 125% and everything looks great in SU, Acad, Adobe etc..

yeah I went online and found a viewer pretty quickly.

Found my Installer for 2021, thought I’d be smart to try and install it again but got this message …

I'd start with Customer Support.

Well, I'm getting those Load Error messages again, not a big deal, doesn't affect SUp at all.

Good deal.

Nice work 👍

There's nothing wrong with 6000 pixel-wide image exports. That's often what I do. As for setting the text correctly, you'll need to experiment a little to get the size you want in the image export. I don't know what size you should set because I don't know how big you want the text to appear. There is no way to set lineweight in SketchUp. There never has been. You can do that in LayOut, though and you can use Hybrid rendering so the lines in LayOut are vector lines and will generally be crisper in the exports. (Keep in mind that edges and text will become rasterized in image exports. If you export a PDF from LayOut that won't happen.) And if you use LayOut's Text, Label, and Dimension tools, you can set font size, lineweight for leaders and dimension lines and other properties to get what you want. You'll also be looking at paper space in LayOut so you can easily compare the size of the text with the overall dimensions of the exported image.
