Greetings, Masta !! (and Hi, y'all !!)

Nice picture, nice model..... so nice I couldn't refrain from clicking the center button, ...

Merci, Jean-Franco...

Apparemment, le fichier va bien et ma machine aussi. Je pense simplement que ma base de registre avait pris un plomb et que cocher et décocher l'option "accélération matérielle" a remis les paramètres en ordre. Maintenant, tout va pour le mieux !!

Merci pour tes conseils.

François

Hi people !!!

Another problem apparently solved by accident...

I uncheck the hardware accel box : model's view jammed, no way to get it back but to exit the program... Then I started SU again and I got a message about my incoherent OpenGL settings being reset to default, and tadaaa !! view OK, I can export a JPEG, preview and print !!!

Probably my registry was holding wrong settings... or another bad trick from the mean little man hidden inside my computer...

BTW, Jean-Franco, what is this "purge unused thing you're talking about ?

Well thanXX anyway, folks...

Hello, Eric !!!

1. too big to upload : 1.2 MB, limit here is 512 kB
2. available for you on my FTP server : ftp;//guest;ta31laBoT@www.dufau.com/data/sketchup
3. this happens with every model, even the 2D guy on a blank new model.

I really think there is a problem on my machine : as I wrote, this doesn't happen on an old P3.

Thanks for caring,

F.

Bonjour !!

Y'a du francophone, dans les parages ?

Hello, you Sketchup Doctors...

I installed SU 6.0.1099 (french) on my XP/SP2 machine.... Works fine and quick, but....

When I want to print views or export 2D pictures, I always get solid black rectangles... I tried different printer drivers (Epson CX6600, Brother Laser and the virtual PDF creator printer) and different export formats (JPEG, BMP, TIFF,...), every time the same result.

I installed the same version on a very old PC (P3@450 MHz and 256 MB RAM) : it terribly slow (you bet !!), but it prints and exports OK.

Any ideas ?

Hello, you fellow Sketchuppers !!

I'm François, 49, from Toulouse, France.

I work as a cabinetmaker ( is it the right word ? In french, I would say "ébéniste et agenceur"), making furniture, shops, kitchens,... I'm a new user of Sketchup 6, with the free version, for now...

I used to work as a senior consultant in computer centers infrastructure and security, but I got tired of computer people... so I made myself a new job, with my bro. I'm not as rich as I used to be, I'm not driving a big german car, but I wake up much happier every morning

Looking for advice, and hoping I can sometimes help, too.

F.
