    • Trying to install version 2023

      I downloaded and tried to install version 2023. Received the following error as shown in the file. Tried again, same error. Removed all the download files and started over again for the third time. Still have the same error code.

      So a little help would be nice.

      Thanks in advance.

    • RE: About Sketchup Free and Sketchup G

      Well, darn this is a copy-and-paste menu. I Saw that menu but just didn't see that it was copy-and-past. On iPad, the icons look different.

      Guess it's going to take some time to get use to this program.

      Thanks for the feedback

    • RE: About Sketchup Free and Sketchup G

      what irritates me is the iPad has some plugins that the window version doesn't have. What I don't know is do I actually have Sketchup Go or Sketchup Free. There is no place in the program to determine what version you have.

      As an example, the iPad has copy and paste in a place where the window version does not have these plugin.

      OK, will let you alone, sad, I can't contact anyone at Sketchup.

    • RE: About Sketchup Free and Sketchup G

      Thanks, Rich for the reply.

      If you have or are using Sketchup Free, there is a place asking you if you want to upgrade. Sketchup Free was so bad, I thought maybe the upgrade would be better. Extending your time is not an upgrade by any means.

      If that all the upgrade is, I want my money back. I would be ashame of putting the Sketchup name to this very limited program.

      Will, I am going to keep trying to get ahold of the Sketchup personnel.

      To tell you one of the problems, if you have a box, and you want to draw a line so you can extend on part of a side. It is very hard to get the new line to connect to the box lines. Frustrating for damn sure.

      Again thanks for your help.

      Last question, has anyone used the pro version? Can you use your plugins?

    • About Sketchup Free and Sketchup G

      Yes, I know this forum is for the paid Sketchup. However, after using Sketchup for years and making money, I decided to retire now that I am 78. However, I did have an idea for a tablet mount for my car and so I downloaded Sketchup for Free. What a waste of time. So I paid the $119 to get the upgrade. So I have two questions. I know, you think I would try their site? However, every time I have tried it, the program comes back with, "Sorry there seems to be no one here at the present.

      Questions:

      1.I paid the $119 for the upgrade. But nothing changed.

      Was the $119 just so I could us the program longer. Because I find the program an embarrassment to Sketchup team. A small drawing that normally would take me 5 minutes to finish and have a STL file read to print, has now been 3 days.

      1. I also found that the Sketchup was installed on my new iPad - (note I didn't install this program, just found it on my iPad). Still doesn't work worth a damn. But the layout is different and there seems to be other options. So, my question is do I need to pay $119 for the iPad and another $119 for the desktop.

      Very disappointed in both programs, but can't get any one at the Sketchup site to answer my question.

      I mean this is not a hard 3d object to make.

      Do wish you guys to know that this forum has been very helpful over the years. Thansk

    • 18650 cell for e bike battery's pack

      I am in the process of buying an e bike. I am hoping to learn how to make a spare battery pack for the e bike.

      So, here is a one cell, 18650 battery that is the go-to cell to use to make multi-cell battery packs. such as, 36v 20ah, 48v 20ah or other typical battery packs being used.

      I made a one cell battery, with alignment circles on the top and bottom to help in aligning the batteries in the available space. The alignment circles are there because very few packs are square or rectangular in shape.

      I am hoping to use the 3d battery to allow me to layout the cells and the connections such that I can check my work before I actually start making the battery pack.

      Also, I would like to know if anyone is also making or would like to make their own battery pack.

    • RE: Migrating to a New Version of SketchUp

      Well, I am installing the new ver. 2022. However, I get the notice, "You have exceeded your allowed activations". I have signed out of ver. 2019, 2020, 2021. Signed in to ver. 2022. However, still get the notice.

      I do have the viewer installed on my laptop. But I don't see a place to sign out.

      So, what's the problem. I am paid up until 3 Nov, 2022.
