      DaveR, what a pleasure to find you still here and helping us great unwashed! πŸ‘

      Can't say that I'm not disappointed that I can't reach 3D Warehouse from Ver. 8 because I have all I need there except the warehouse.

      I've tried again to use 2017 Make without success. When I choose and double click a template, nothing happens. I can never get to the bottom of the window that offers the template options on this laptop. Perhaps it is a function of limited display space on the laptop. I tried double clicking and right clicking without success. I have uninstalled the 2017 Make, downloaded a fresh copy and installed it again with the same result.

      Is there anything else I should try?

      Again, thank you for being here and being such a great resource. You have helped me many times in the past.

    • Need Help Getting Started Again

      I've used SU for years - was there a time before Google bought it? Several years ago my desktop crashed and the laptop I had could not run SU. I've not used SU for 3, maybe 4, years. Things have changed a bit in the interval.

      I now have a laptop that can run SU. I found and installed the last Google version (8.0.15158). All was good as I relearned rusty skills until I tried to access the 3D Warehouse. I got a script error and was never able to get past it.

      So, I thought I'd try 2017 Make free; however, I ran into a problem with it as well. I was able to install it but can't get past the page that says it's not getting any younger. The only active options on the page are to add a license - I'm using the free version because I'm retired and the budget doesn't stretch to the cost - or choose a template. When I choose the architectural template with feet and inches it highlights but I can find no way forward. There is no OK or other button that I find as I scroll. In fact I can find no way to leave that page short of closing SU 2017 Make.

      I am perfectly happy with the functions of SU 8 with the exception of the 3D Warehouse problem. I understand abandoned versions don't get but fixes or updates, but searching turns up a lot of hits about the script error - without a solution that I've found.

      So, the questions come down to 2 . . .

      1. Is there a fix or workaround on the SU 8 3D Warehouse script error?
      2. How do I get past the template selection issue in SU 2017 Make?

      Thank you,
      rh
