go into properties on your desktop and turn off one of your monitors... uncheck where it say extend my desktop onto this monitor...
then go into sketchup and check and uncheck the windows you need... they should come up centered...
and don't lose them again...
Jmac, you're in the right place for sure... thats what I got from the old forums too, I learned something every visit... even if I wasn't looking for it... and here as well we're starting to get the base questions built up... and now a lot of discovery is being done... as you probably know I visit here very often... its a constant learning experience... with some of the most professional and experienced SU'ers out there... we're pretty lucky to have this kind of tech support on call...
the way I fix this is I switch off Perspective View... this will make things out of skew while you work at small space, but it make it where you can zoom in all the way to nooks and crannies. then switch back to Perspective... you'll notice when you switch it on and off your distance from the object will change...
I used to work in a millwork plant... we had several programs that cost 10k that did that sort of thing...
I would like material lists for my houses, and cost break downs... in SU...
but remember you can always make "pages" in SU and then batch export dxf's for your "cutsheets"
yes, the hide all dims would be important or just simply put all the dims on one layer... or beter yet allow us to decide what layer and how many...
looks like a nice script when you need beta let me know...
Awesome chair... this could be a great addition to a SketchUcation component library...
that night shot is incredible... love it... very contemporary
first select everything you want to move, then right click on the highlighted area and chose "make group". this should allow you to use the move tool with out stretching out your model.
this would go on the wish list sticky...
nice thinking outside the box or radian as it were... Rick
is this a rhetorical question? cuz you seem to know the answer...
I have 3 monitors and have had this issue with a few windows... I click on and off the check mark for the others and that seems to bring them back in a visible place... but the ruby... never tried...
maybe this thread should be sticky? or does this not affect a great number of people?
sounds good... however the axis lock of the line usage really interests me... there are many times when I need to work in a certain plane and would love to lock it down...
great idea.... for the locking axis' as for how to make a gable line in that mode, simply draw a straight flat line and rotate it up to the angle... may have to put it in a group.
