Well in case it can help someone else out, I got it to work by exporting to a preferences.dat file then importing that file. Somehow that made it work so go figure...it's just nice to have my shortcuts back.

Nope this is a laptop so it's not a keyboard thing. It's really weird honestly, I have v.7 installed on my desktop and it works flawlessly so I'm guessing it's a Vista thing. I'm also having that issue where if I open the program directly it doesn't respond but if I open a file it works (known issue but still could be related).

Thanks for the input,
Peter

Ok, hopefully someone can help me this is driving me nuts. I installed Sketchup 7 on my new work laptop (hp 17" w/vista) and it opens up and works fine, but my keyboard shortcuts don't work. I've checked the shortcuts menu and they are set correctly but sketchup just doesn't respond to any of them. Escape only works when I have the selection tool selected, otherwise it doesn't even escape correctly...any ideas?

Thanks

To me it doesn't look like a style problem, it looks like there is a plane covering all the openings like a big ceiling plane that isn't supposed to be there. Did you draw a big outline around the ceiling areas possibly creating a plane that you didn't mean to?

Well congrats, I was really hoping I'd get an invite but I got the rejection letter yesterday as well . Oh well, there's always the chance that I'll be chosen in the second round after the chosen few that can't go are weeded out.

I was one of the lucky ones ! I was invited & they give you until May 6 to respond.

I've been wondering the same thing, been checking periodically all day.

Wow, looks great! The detail is incredible, did you model all the mechanical equipment or were you lucky enough to have models from the manufacturer? Do you have any shots of the interior?

Those look great Tom, quite a complex there. I like the layout of the ball fields. Where'd you get those trees? And what tutorial are you referring to?

Keep up the great work!

do you know what video card you have, or do you have an integrated card? From looking at the Acer website, it looks like you have an integrated video card. Have you looked over this list?

It has the driver links for your laptop (page 3).
Not sure what else to try.

I just recently got one of those for Christmas. I'm starting to get the hang of it, it takes a little while having not used a device like this before. What I mostly see this coming in handy for is showing clients a model in SketchUp since it allows you to rotate and fly around the model without the jerky nature of the mouse.
