Not sure why it would change on you from 6 to 7, but I had to apply program specific setting to my mouse in the windows control panel to get the center wheel to orbit and pan.

Well now, that was helpful. I'm using a Logitech cordless mouse and what I did was set the scroll wheel to "Generic Button" and now it works fine.

Thanks so much!!!!

Here's the older versions

Strange why it deletes all geometry instead of want you want deleted? I presume it's not 'Grouped ' or a 'Component'

As for the mouse, sometimes supplied drivers can cause conflict, especially on Macs. Did it work fine with SU6?

Thanks so much! I downloaded and installed V6 and it works well. I still can't get the mouse wheel to orbit and pan but that's likely a mouse driver. I'll work on that. But I'm up and running thanks to you.

What's the problem?

SU7.1 is fairly stable, maybe you can give more info?

1. I can't get the mouse wheel to orbit or pan by clicking or shift-clicking the wheel.
2. I have drawn a small floor plan for a basement and now I'm drawing in details. I'll draw a square, for example to locate a line for pot lights. Then I draw in circles to show the locations of the pot lights. Then, I want to erase the square and just leave the circles. As I start to erase a line on the square, the entire drawing vanishes. I click "Undo Erase" and it reappears.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having trouble with version 7 on my new PC. I have version 6 on my old pc for the last year and it worked fine. Can I still get Version 6? I have work that I need to finish and these problems are really slowing me down.

I have been using Sketchup Ver 6 for about a year. When creating a design I really like to be able to click on the scroll wheel on the mouse to orbit and then shift-click for pan.

I just installed Sketchup Ver 7 on a new pc (WinXP) and the click or shift-click on the scroll wheel doesn't do anything.

Any ideas?
