If you mean why did I rollback the driver, it is suggested by windows to do this if performance problems are an issue. I interpreted this as one reason for the BSOD and display problems. Using available tools through Windows Control Panel was my first approach. After about 3 reports to wherever it is sent, I got back a response in the "Solve PC issues" system tray message thingy that Hewlett-Packard personnel wanted to have a crack at this. But the dataform presented was all about laptops, not desktops, and this just looked like another deadend backwater path to travel down.

EDIT: If you mean why did my profile say 2013? That was an oversight which I have corrected herewith. I am still using 2014, and this is the version in which I am experiencing this issue.

Conditions are fine, now. I did a Windows troubleshoot, anyway. No system issues.

Yea, I have had that thought before. And that is partly why I asked those questions. However, I have more or less accepted that my security system: firewall, antivirus and antispy ware are operating.

Well, maybe it was for technical reasons or whatever. Maybe they will give it another go. The software certainly looked interesting.

Thanks Rich, Techdave, and DaveR.
After posting and thinking about it some more, I thought oh well let this stand as an admonishment to others in the interest of good methods.
I will read the Sketchup Help stuff on Layers again.
Still, white jacket, room with soft surfaces, delirious happiness?

Most of the third and forth rows in your image are the user selectable icons when they create a new post.
They mean whatever the poster thinks they mean, I think.

But the little dots and the tick have tool tips when you hover, The dot will take you to the post it relates to, if at the front it's the first unread post and at the end the last post. If it is red you haven't read it. Th tick tells you someone has given an answer that the OP or a Mod has selected as a solution and clicking it will take you to that post. And the little square with tiny writting means there is an attachment, such as an image or a skp file.

The last row have their meaning written after them.

I think the google search engine is probably the worst for this, even though perhaps the latest article may be the first you see in the list? I recall posting that request a few years ago about that in their comments page(?), or did I just throw a piece of paper in the sea? or did I try to scare a glacier with a blowtorch? 💚

No, I think you are right, Jeff. Thanks.

Make an image file from the CAD file you get and import that as an image. You can either scale that and trace over it or do as I often do and put the image in the background so I can look at it for reference while I'm drawing.

Here's an example of a table I drew a few years ago. The drawing wasn't anywhere close to being usable for tracing but by standing it up in the background it gave me an easy references for drawing the table anyway.

Problem appears to be solved. I am on Firefox. I cleared my cache. Back to the white buttons.
Thanks.

I don't believe that there's such a thing as a midlife crisis, that's why I bought this last year to prove it...

What could be more normal than a 47 year old driving around in a sports car with the roof down wearing a baseball cap to cover his balding head keep the sun out of his eyes?

I love my CCleaner... gotta be careful with it. registry cleaning and such. but I love it.

Well I'm seeing those alien/Egyptian guys in 'StarGate' - with the animated fan helmets.

Happy Birthday!!!!!
