For some reason it won't let me. I attempt to drag and at that point my pointer becomes the international symbol for "no". The circle with slash through it. So I will try again, but either way if I right click and "save as" it works just as well, just not as efficient.

Sorry, you lost me.

I imported my file and set as texture. I applied it to a face. I opened the materials browser in SU and found the In model folder, there I see my file. For some reason I could not drag to the secondary window. But I did right click and it allowed me to save as .skm so it didn't work...but then it did. Thanks...again.

How do I convert a jpeg to a .skm file in my materials folder?

I tried to resume a render I had stopped last night. The file type read " igi " and Indigo was looking for " igs ". Is this because I stopped the render rather then paused it? I could not resume rendering it. I assume it is because I stopped render and should have paused.

So I have "more" then the recommended system requirements for SketchUp. But I was wondering how much RAM others have, processing speed, etc. I can upgrade my laptop to 4 GB RAM but the processor is 2.0 GHZ, would it be worth it? I noticed some lag when I added colors and material to my most recent project for a customer. I know to make adjustments I can turn things on and off to move faster, I was just curious if a better system would be...well better. I looked at an HP Turion laptop with 4 GB ( upgradeable to 8 GB ) when I bought this one, I saved myself 150 bucks, but now I am wondering if that extra RAM would help or if the processing power is where its at. I am happy with my purchase and so far it runs alot faster then my old Dell Inspiron with 256 MB of RAM! I have something rendering as I browse the internet and post here, my old laptop would catch on fire if I tried to do multiple tasks. So I am happy...just curious.

Wow...wow...wow.

Wow...

Well, problem solved. I actually installed 1.1.16 and ended up with two sets of Indigo icons on the toolbar. I couldn't seem to shake that .09...until now. Followed your directions and BOOM, one set of tools only now. So now if I wanted to get rid of the whole thing I could. Thanks for the help, now my SketchUp is no longer "quirky" with two tools for the same program.

I'm not sure I will use it much though. I have a 3GB RAM HP laptop with Pentium ( R ) Dual Core T4200 @ 2.0 GHZ and it seems like it takes forever to render. And I don't know if I want my laptop on for days to render a file.

Ah, I figured that but was hoping there was more to the story. Thanks for the help. I will leave my two Indigo tools on the bar, allow my SketchUp to be quirky and try to improve there before pushing the 3D renders. Thanks again,

Ok, so I am rendering a few rail sections just to see how it looks. Its been about 45 minutes, I was planning on going to an hour. At that point ( running 1.1.16 )I can stop render and then use that rendering inside of SketchUp 7?

This is weird, I did remove the files you mentioned but Google continues to search for it on start up. Weird.

I think I am going to install it again. Maybe I will use it, and for now it will keep Google from prompting me to find it every single time I open it.

EDIT:

So I installed 1.16 and now I have TWO Skindigo plugins in my tool bar...wow. I know I removed all the original plugins.

Regardless, its running now so this may just be my quirky setup for now. It doesn't seem to be a problem.

So I removed Indigo entirely form my system but SketchUp continues to look fo rit when i open the program, I click cancel and then receive "Error Loading File SkIndigo_1_0_9.rb
cannot convert nil into String".

How do I get SketchUp to stop looking for Indigo? I even tried uninstalling SketchUp but with the same result. I would just leave Indigo in place and not use it but for some reason it needs to be on my desktop for SketchUp to find it.

Ultimately i would just like to have it gone and not have SketchUp look for it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks,
