I just check the Sketchucation store, any updates are readily apparent and it is faster when working within Sketchup.

@Rich-O-Brien

Weird, this suggests an error on the E drive which the other scanning programs report as healthy.

@fredo6

I am looking to completely remove lord of the toolbars, not going so well, any tips?

@Mike-Amos

Greyed out, nothing doing anywhere.

@ntxdave

plus ça change.

All sorts of errors with plugins, weird but the samsung disk scan suggested recovery for the drive which has failed due to an unknown error.

@pixelcruncher

Well the South African attempt to equip cars with flame throwers went pear shaped pretty quickly so you have to make do......

I know, nobody appreciates the good things in life......

James at Seeit3d believes the Sketchucation store is broken.

Numerous reinstals and various different plugins fail each time I go through the uninstall plugin folder and reinstall.

@L-i-am

Ta mate. The harpoon gun would have been a step too far, perhaps.......

@Rich-O-Brien

Agreed. IMHO, the ai generated 'stuff' is crap.

@nickchun

Thank you, I am responsible and it is indeed a Triceratop skull as a bonnet ornament.

Light, Irfanview.

While checking into tech issues, I am running a series of Twilight renders.

Partly giggles and kicks.......

This old beast goes back to 2017 or so and this variant is slowly being upgraded.

@pixelcruncher

I'm doing OK, Thomas.

Certainly finding there are system wide issues, no matter how small they are, reduces my "I am so stoopid" sensation a fair bit and I am looking in to ways to understand and work round this.

The disk issue and the visual studio ussues point out there being life in the old pc yet.

I am talking to various people around hardware and software issues and hope to get a solution within a few days.

All jokes aside and despite 'issues'. I am still a lucky barkeep.

@Rich-O-Brien

Another little 'lesson' todays crash provided some ino at least.

Crash #298860

It looks like there might be an issue with Microsoft Visual Studio. The Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Redistributables are required for SketchUp to run and may need to be reloaded. Please try the following:

Check to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date: https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/how-can-i-update-my-computers-graphics-driver

Quit SketchUp (and LayOut)

Go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015 and above Redistributables (there may be a 32-bit and 64-bit version)

Uninstall SketchUp from Add/Remove Programs

Re-run the SketchUp installer. You can download it here if you need it: https://www.sketchup.com/offline-download

Restart your computer

If you continue to experience issues please reach out to our support staff at: https://help.sketchup.com/en/contact-support/technical-question/form

I feel like I am re-learning this dark art. new perspectives on things I suppose.

Health wise stuff is loud. Certain sensations etc which are dementia alike bring a feeling of not really being in charge of the mental process, forgetting stuff for example.

I believe this older pc is just outclassed by Rayscaper so while I try to lay out this flat, post window replacement I will be limiting myself to Twilight and Maxwell for rendering.

For those of you who also have little niggling doubts about 'stuff', you CAN get through whatever the issue is. Noli Illegitemi Carbonundrum.

I apologise for asking questions which probably should be simple to 'know', I'm going to do what I can. This place remains important to me for the joy we share on building and rendering whatever the hell it is we make.

Keep on keeping on, never let crap get in the way of trying to be the best you can be 'today'.

Tomorrow is merely smoke and mirrors.

Well, the result seems to be different but I can search for assets and see they have been 'purchased'.

They can so far be dwnloaded so thanks for the heads up, seems to work in the end.

@Gus-R

I get no error, just nothing happening after about page three.

Twice I have managed to get the assets but there is nothing showing up in my assets.

A bit weird.
