Hi guys. I have a question for you. Have any of you experienced an error when checking for updates for plugins? I have mine set to check every 15 days. Now it's telling me it can't open the location to check. I have attached a file showing what the error message looks like.

THANX

Hello again guys and gals. Let me just jump right in. Is there a way to rotate a viewport in Layout? Say the default angle of my drawing is 4 degrees off of true north. Is there a way to rotate the view 4 degrees?

Thanx

Hello again. I have yet another impossible question for us mortals, but childs play to ye Sketchup gods. Can you remove paints from an object? I have one that has several paints attached to it, but I only need one.

Thanks guys.

Hi guys. Long time, no see. How have you been? Have a question for you: Can you increase the resolution of the geolocation image that you place in a sketchup drawing? It doesn't seem to be as good as the view in Google Earth.

Thanks guys.

Hey guys and gals. It's me again with another super important question (to me anyway ).
is there a way to "flatten" things in sketchup like you can in autocad?

(Sigh) I'm an idiot. Thanks. I kept think of it as "6" instead of .5

Hello again all. It's been a while. I've come seeking the wisdom of the sages. My question is: Why would sketchup give me a volume that is nowhere NEAR what it really is??? Here's the situation: I have a solid that measures 6719.228 sq. ft. on a face. It's 6" deep. That SHOULD give me a volume of 40,315.368 cubic feet. When I do a entity info on it, it says it's only 3359.614 cubic feet. WHY??? ANY thoughts would be welcome.

Hey y'all. I need some help. For whatever reason, LibFredo6 plugin is starting to crash Sketchup. (Yes I know it's this one because I systematically went through and tested sketchup with each plugin I have.)Anyone know a fix for it?

Now that I think about it, it MAY be something that it activates. All I really know is that if I delete it, Sketchup doesn't crash. But then I can't use curveloft and whatnot. ANY help is appreciated.

Hello again y'all. I have yet another quandry that I need help with. I'm trying to preview a model in GE and it creates the file, but the model doesn't show up. It says it's there, but I can't see it. The file is pretty large (114MB). Would that have anything to do with it?

IT WORKS!!!!! THANKS A TON!!!

ok. thanks. i'll try it and see.

Hello again. I have a burning question. Is there a way for sketchup to tell you how many of a member (say a structural member from engineering toolbox) and get a LENGTH from it (without actually having to pull a dimension). I know outliner can keep track of each member, but can it tell you a length?

Yeah. It seemed to work on a smaller file. I just didn't know if file size had anything to do with it.

Yes. I'm exporting the cuts as DWG's and when I do, the lines don't always show up and there are lots of gaps. Could it be because the file is pretty large?

Hello everyone. I'm Karl. I've recently had the "pleasure" of becoming my company's resident Sketchup go-to guy. I'm trying to make sectiion cuts of a plant site I designed. I can get SU to export the file, but when it converts it into a DWG, there are lines missing. Any ideas why? ANY help is GREATLY appreciated.
