I noticed the icons in LayOut2015 are quite bigger compared to LayOut2014. I prefer the largest workspace so always disable 'large icons' in the customize options.
The top bar in the image is LO2015, the bottom is LO2014. Both with large icons disabled. Any way to get the smaller icons back?

Is this with any SKP? Can you share that SKP?
Any skp will take longer to load with that code in SU 2015 compared to SU2014.. at least on my system. Would like to see if anyone else could confirm or even better, have a solution.
I just noticed in one of my plugins that loading a single small skp file (to use as a component definition) seems to take almost 1 second whereas the same code in SU 2014 loads the skp instantly.
t = Time.now f = "c:/box.skp" d = Sketchup.active_model.definitions.load f puts (Time.now - t)
edit: added some test code.
It's half a second difference but it gets annoying fast if a user has to pick & load multiple components (and don't want to pre-load all of them). It breaks the snappy flow of the plugin.
Question: any way to avoid this. Looked in the changelog / bugfixes for 2015 but can't find anything related.
600k edges and 300k faces might be too much for embedded gfx? Ever tried putting a gfx-card in your system? The fact SU is now 64 bits doesn't mean it will use more than 1 core. That's something totally different.

help?
Maybe post your system specs? Details about CPU / GPU / MOBO / RAM etc. Maybe there's something useful in there.

- faster saving/auto-saving (!)
Have you tried disabling 'redefine thumbnail on save' in Model Info - File? Should make it save instantly (on an SSD).

On the attached image I get 3 lines created at the top of the opening instead of 1. Why would that be?
I guess some hidden lines are breaking your new line. Try <view> --> <hidden geometry>
When making a multipage presentation in Layout, the list of external references can get quite long. Would be nice if some tabs / filters could be introduced for faster selecting of the desired category file(s):

We're looking for powerful, small laptops to run SU files larger than 60mb.Suggestions?
I also just started looking for a replacement for my current 12" Thinkpad. Ideally a very portable laptop, if I need more workspace I will link it to a monitor.
Options:
... still looking, haven't found the right one yet...
Not considering but maybe an option for some:

It is magic but soon everyone will be a magician...
wow - which plugin are you showing here? a new version of Artisan or a new quad tool by TT or...?
also, I think re-installing V8 after you installed V2014 will put the default link for skp files back to V8. The solution above is better though I think.

Now, a few questions - I don't seem to be able to get my plugin toolbars to show up. In R8 you just selected them in Preferences, Extensions, like so..
try: view -> toolbars
@hellnbak said:
Also, in R8 clicking on the Plugins tab shows this

Maybe you only have installed 2 plugins that install themselves in the plugins tab?
@hellnbak said:
As far as specific plugins, Model Location is one that I use a lot, but I don't seem to be able to find a version for R14.
cant help you there. I use the pro version and this feature embedded. Maybe post a message / mail the author of the plugin?
@hellnbak said:
And what happened to Toggle Shadows String Fix, can't seem to find it.
That nasty bug should be fixed so not Toggle needed anymore.

premium discussion maybe? I get a "You are not authorised to read this forum."
you can install R14 next to R8 without any problem and if you still run into problems, just saveas R8 and no harm done...
@hellnbak said:
So have the bugs been pretty much fixed by now? Is is safe?
safe for what? And do you have specific plugins you absolutely need to function well? Maybe read in the forum topics if R14 has any problems with those plugins.
There has been one maintenance release for R14 so maybe the bugs you've read about are already fixed.

Do not know how you guys know all of this stuff..
We all run into the same problems (with importing files / SketchUp / etc) and for most of them, multiple solutions already have been found in the past here on the forum. Just passing the info along...
not sure if this is the solution buy maybe it might help:

nice, maybe have another look at the mapping of the sides of the wooden frame? It looks a bit strange to me.

I am importing a DWG file into SU but I do not see all of the details. I have a PDF version of the file that shows tons of details that I cannot see in SU after importing the DWG file.
Is there some type of setting that I am missing or is this the standard behavior?
Have you tried changing the import scale settings in Sketchup? Maybe the details are merged into 'nothing'.
If you do have a pdf you could also convert the pdf to dxf using Inkscape and import the dxf into Sketchup.

Thanks for the link, very interesting. Also, I'm curious if anyone here overclocks their cpu / gpu and if the extra (20%?) speed really makes a difference.
