the installation has been without any problems, The graphics card is Nvidia GF T1080. All drivers are up to date!
Are You suggesting that there is a path missing in the pre settings?

AutoSave-Files nowhere to be found
Since SU2019 Pro the really rare BugSplashs of previous versions have become more often. There is always some reason why and most often it is an exeeding load factor of some kind. What really bothers me is that although settings provide 15 Min between save-mode there is no such file as AutoSave anymore to be found. Not on either volume that I work with. I very well notice the interruption of the work flow when it saves the file in the background between the set time lapses. But where and how ist the file saved? After a few hours of work that is a really frustrating to discover. The windows system provides alot of search modes. I have searched the whole system for *.tmp save Auto, recent skp and more. Well nothing that would suggest a recovery file. Since I work on a system with german language I am not sure if you can provide any help with the shown paths on the preference-settings. I remember vague the possible setting for the placement of AutoSave files. No such thing anymore. How do you set the path for that? Strange by all means is that sometimes the relaunch of the original .skp will provide an offer to jump to the newer file on the system which must be the saved version. But more often it wont provide this option. I feel very very uncomfartable with this uncertainty and it already pushes me into a crash anticipation mode when working on heavy files.
I would really appreciatate any help here.Michael

RE: [Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024
Hi Anton,
I certainly got captured on my desktop rather than fetching Easter Eggs with the kids during the holidays. I can only express my admiration to your work. So fine done! Thanks so much!Michael

RE: Section Cut Turn disabled in 2018 PRO
@dave r said:
When you installed SketchUp 2018, did you right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator? Or did you just double click on it to get it to run? If you didn't use Run as administrator from the right click Context menu, SketchUp isn't installed correctly and all sorts of weird things can happen.
I run this PC on WIN7 SP2 and always install as Admin. I must also admit that since I installed SU2018 this is the very first issue that I encountered without having a decent explanation. Most of the little'Bugs' are self constructed and I usually find out why soon enough. With some you just cant help, because they seem to be related to plugins.
We have a saying ofer here going: Never value the Teeths of a horse givin to you for free!
If I should encounter this little mishap more often I will report it.
Thanks alot

RE: Section Cut Turn disabled in 2018 PRO
@box said:
The section tool rotates the same way in 2018 as it has always done.
Perhaps if you show us where you are having an issue we can show you what is wrong.I have rebooted the Workstation and it is working fine now. I will probably never find out, what the heck it caused to misfunction this way. I am glad anyway!
Thanks for the reply!Michael

Section Cut Turn disabled in 2018 PRO
After installing SU18 I was pleased with the new feature Filling Section Cut areas. But then I tried to turn a section in order to align it to the geometry of the building. I cannot get it working with ordinary tools. Is there a workaround? It worked fine in SU17 by the way.
Glad for any reply

RE: Assigned Key just does not work!
@tig said:
It's not a bug.
The 'Make Component' tool actually has a default shortcut preset - G.
But before it appears in the Preferences > Shortcuts dialog's filtered list, you must have something[s] preselected that could actually be made into a component, you must make the selection prior to opening that dialog...This occurs in many situations - e.g. if you want to make a shortcut to Reverse faces or to Orient faces, then these will only appear in the filtered list if a face or faces are preselected...
Now this is rather awesome! But thanks so much, cause it works. It never occured to me with other shortcuts and I really have many assigned. Sometimes U just have to ask someone who knows!
Thanks again.

Assigned Key just does not work!
assigned Key just does not work
Hello to All,
I am wondering why I cant set a Key-Assignment to 'Make Component', well I should say the assigned Key just does not work. I am using BILL of Material quite frequently and there U need to have Components in order to have a decent report of the items used in the drawing.
Can anyone give me a hint or do we have a bug right here.Michael

Layout PRO 2016 Cannot find Autosave-File
Hello All,
I just lost 3 hrs of work in layout bauaus a crash occured. Relaunching did offer older files but nothing recent enough to help. I checked the box autosave in presets where it should be saving my work every five minutes. Is anyone come along a similar problem or is there a certain sytems folder where such files will be stored?I would be happy to have a hint here
Thanks

RE: NVIDIA OpenGL driver detected a problem with the display

NVIDIA Quadro 4000 crashes in SU14
Now that I am working a few days with the seperate installed SU 14 I discovered few bad issues. Most of them regard plugins that worked well in 13 but wont do it in 14. That alone is reason enough to wait before trashing the earlier version.
Really bad is the crash of Nvidia which will terminate SU 14 instantly. It occurs when shade is applied with a large drawing. Since the same drawing is doing fine in SU13 I wonder, what the reason might be. After looking into the crash report from Nvidia is says that the application is asking to much of the GPU. I cannot really fathom how a Quadro 4000 wont do the job!Even after a restart of the machine SU14 is absoltely solely running, I have no trouble reproducing the crash. However, there is no problem with it in SU 13.Time to think better?

RE: Trim along a sandbox outline
To BOX,
that would indeed be very easy. You are implying that all bordering entities are groups with vertical faces to it. Else it would mean to cut intersections of two planes lying above each other. That most likely wont work. Much more i deal with flat surfaces connecting to one another. That would always leave me to producing some extruded shapes first and then follow your path. Which is basicly the same as my little work around.
Besides, to my understanding: Solid tools is not an option for sandboxes.

RE: Trim along a sandbox outline
Thanks very much TIG,
Well, I did all this pretty much all the time. Still it remains hard work. By showing hidden geometrie 'ON' I can at least use window/crossing for the selection of the many faces to delete. The final tidying is what bothers me. What I dont understand is why is the sandbox surface is extending across the defined borders in the first place. And then, I even tried to
intersect the entities by its tool and divide them into seperate surfaces. But it wont find any intersections to cut along. That should tell us, there is already a divided surface, but it surely acts as one. My conclusion is: The surface is in fact not really preciesly edged by the drawn border but only nearing its verteces. Thus an outer line is helpwise created in order to accomplish the surface task at all. But the work, wich manually has to be done afterwards could already be done in the script.There is one workaround which I will mention shortly, but I am a bit ashamed that it is not really much more than a big detour.
When done with the the outlined border
step 1. I simply copy it twice vertical above each other.
step 2. The two new borders I group and draw a vertical surface between them using the Curviloft Tool.
step 3. Then I draw the sandbox using the original remaining outline border
step 4. I drop the outline skirt to about its half on the sandbox
step 5. I use the cut intersect tool (this time successfully)
step 6. The surfaces are precisely divided and with two clicks the unwanted elements including the skirt are erased.
Done, but also not really fastI added the Pictures here: http://neyses.com/sandbox-workflow-skirt
I am not into programming but from what I see, you guys all do much harder tasks with effort and ease that I simply deeply admire. Like I initially suggested there should be a tool that cuts along the defined borders and dump the outer remains into space. That would be it. (For all the many rather helpless landscape graders)

RE: Trim along a sandbox outline
Hi TIG,
here ist the typical flow in my work.
Example: Creating a rather simple lawnsurface (which is never plane!)- draw outline (usually along walls or borders of walkways)
- make group
- run sandbox
- isolate the group for better view and access
- run unsoften
- start trimming all unwanted edges and surfaces (there is alot to clean off manually)
- run soften and apply material.
done.
Point 6. is where the the clock runs off! especially with real complex shapes
have a look at the screendumps!http://neyses.com/sandbox-workflow
I appreciate any hint

Trim along a sandbox outline
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if any of you would be able to write a script/rb for a task that occurs very often in my workflow. I do draw alot of sandboxes using rounded and well shaped corners and edges. The so emerged sandbox leaves me to alot of work trimming all those 'overdrawn' unwanted faces.Especially when arcs along the borders have like 48 increments for smooth shapes. Sometimes they fold into each other and are really hard to pick. All the sandboxes have on thing incommon: I always only use closed shapes as edges. So there is actually a well defined border to where the trimming has to follow. I dream of an automatic 'clipper' that crawls along the border and snips off all outer faces. It would be such a nice tool to have. Any idea?Michael

RE: [Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1
Ive got some problems with the layer panel.
- It is asking for me to update the current ie explorer. But i already installed version 10 although it is not my standard browser, which is firefox.
- When I use the features as explained s. a . creatíng groups and layers and sort the whole structure, then i will not be able to open this very drawing again after saving and closing it properly. The comment is: ²wrong file format!² , the file is actally lost.
I am glad i did not blindly change any important file and put too much time in doing so.
Glad there is a thing called .skb! I think this is a rather serious issue.
I wonder if i am the only one with this experience!

RE: 3DConnection Space Navigator an SU13!
Hi Charlie,
thanks again for the reply. I was so frustrated today, I removed all of SU2013 and since it is a new machine running on WIN7 Ulimate there was no previous SU installed. I also removed 3Dconnexion completely and reinstalled 3D first, then SU2013. And what you say, it works just fine! Thanks alot for standing byhappy sunday!

RE: 3DConnection Space Navigator an SU13!
Thanks for the Tipp. I was aware of it and installed the latest driver but somehow did not do the job.
Now I found out, it would not do anything in AutoCAD either. I initialized the device by
pulling the cord, push both buttons and hold them while plug in again. Then it would regain
action in AutoCAD but not in SU2013. I took the device and it worked well on another machine with SU8. All the internal updating would not show SU2013 as a configurable device. I dont know what else I should try.Thanks for any help

3DConnection Space Navigator an SU13!

RE: Lock toolbars
I just cant fathom, what you guys are doing with your toolbars, I closely watched the progress of this discussion. I almost feel guilty by not having this genuine problem at all.
If the bars are disturbed, which very rarely occurs, I hit the ALT/F9 Button that I have set on the 'Restore Toolbars' command and all the boys are back in place.
I dont have any explanation for this good behavoir other then maybe that I am using a 30" screen which gives me planty of room not to mess in the vicinity of the bars.
I rely very much on SU during my workday and produce at least 50 projekts a year. I would have never stuck with this software, if there were such instances as the need of rearranging the landscape of toolbars 5 times a day! Maybe choose the plugins I am using a bit carefully but I have learned long ago that being a gearhead and jumping on any train is the least splendid of all forthcoming methods.
