Wanting to print a simple item 370mm x 107mm and realising that SU is abysmally bad at printing especially on a Mac , I bought an A3 printer set it up and expected to have issues with SU Print.
I have discrete the Canon A3 printer and back to a an A4 Xerox laser printer.
I set up the document set up and change the camera setting to parallel projection and front view.
I set up page setup to A4 and make the page horizontal next I set the document set up print scale to the be the same dimension in Drawing and in Model after turning off the 'fit to Page'. I bring up the print page and elect the Xerox printer.
It indicates that I need 8 pages [having watched enough YouTube's to know to just accept that and return the unprinted pages into the printer, I click the preview arrows and every thing disappears nothing. I cancel out of the print page and click on the SU page and everything disappears as well=- cannot be found. Get rid of that page and go through the whole scenario again New page paste the item onto the page and proceed through al the4 steps again with the same result.
I have rebooted and rebooted the Mac, I have rebooted the printer, I have reloaded SU to no avail.
Is there another set of software out there where one can copy the SU and then print it out - do NOT suggest Layout as if I am having [and this is only one issue] with Make It then why would I be persuaded to pay for there same software with the same myriad of issues???
Excellent drawing capabilities, good to look at and make changes, [woodworking - house plans on and on i.e.] but Oh so many problems and impossible to use what you create especially on a Mac.

RE: Sketchup for Mac
It is like it is two different developers or the under done work on Macs.
I do not have any of these on the PC at work the only problem I have is using a PC.
It seems especially worse when one of the Google tops was on the Apple board. -
RE: Sketchup for Mac
What mac are you on?
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHzWhat are the size of the models your are working on? - Lately about 7MB but that does not seem to matter is is mainly when I try to orbit.
Do you have your open GL settings set with hardware acceleration on? Yep
Have you made sure your drivers are updated? Yes
Are you using a great deal of vegetation? No I would expect with a lot of warehouse downloads and vegetation that I would have the problem hence my question. I work on the same model at work on a PC and never have the problem.
And the eraser as I said you get one crack at it if you just slightly miss then you have to click elsewhere in order for it to work on the first [missed] target again.
I was considering buying Pro but would not with this sort of performance, I don't think Google are fair dinkum about Mac. -
Sketchup for Mac
It is normal to constantly see a spinning wheel when using Sketchup an a Mac and spend considerable time waiting?
Also when deleting with the eraser you only get one crack and if the item to be deleted is not so, you must click elsewhere and then re attempt to delete?
