    • SU files crashing Windows Explorer

      Hi,

      I am having this strange reoccurring issue MANY times a day where I go into my 3D work folders where I keep SU files. Then if I click on a SU file-not even double click but just click to highlight-windows explorer crashes. I am talking Explorer as in the folders structures not Internet Explorer, just to be clear.

      Usually it just says that Explorer crashed and needs to be reset but last time I got the attached message.

      Any suggestions or settings changes that you can recommend as this is driving me crazy.

      Thanks,

    • RE: Swapped components come in at reduced size

      Very interesting, thanks for the reply. That tool looks handy but I see it warns that 2D objects will not work with it and my trees are such.

      On aside I have figured out that the downsizing of the original sphere component is what causes the trees to come in smaller. Obviously that history remains when the component is swapped-FYI for anyone having a similar issue.

    • Swapped components come in at reduced size

      Hi,

      I have a fairly large master plan scene with hundreds of trees. I decided to use instances of a small sphere to place in the locations I wanted these trees and used the replace instances feature to replace these with a model of a tree I had in the scene-yet they all come in at about half the size.

      When I go back to component tree I am using to replace the spheres and re-place it in the scene it is still as large as it originally was. The only thing I can think of is that the sphere I used for my placement was originally larger than the downsized version I used as place-markers but why would that affect the size of the component tree I am replacing these with?

      Can anyone suggest a solution for this issue?

      Thanks!
