I have made a new venture work...Got SU to work on Ubuntu . Are there any users who can share where to keep the customized SU files that were posed in Programs/GooGle...in Windoz?

.. i dont want to work with ca dprograms anymore. . i want to do everything i can in skethup ,,

HEAR HERE!!!!!

answer:
java wasn't updated when Sitebuilder was installed. The latest of both programs was downloade, then the old versions removed, and Java was reinstalled prior to Sitebuilder being reinstalled. Works fine.
Revit is next....

I have two programs that are not booting...
I recently reformatted and reloaded windoz XP on my notebook. Everything is working fine except Revit and Yahoo Sitebuilder wont boot. Both programs start to boot, flash an hourglass for about a second or two, then show no other signs of running. I have installed the flashplayer plug-in, cleared cookies, allowed firewall settings, turned off virus software, un-installed, cleared out all folders in the Programs Folder, and re-installed, etc.

I am at a loss for remedies, does anyone have any ideas that may help? Is active x causing trouble.....?

Thanks for your advice,

Edit: Sorry for entering a non-SU topic on the forum, just hoping someone else may have experienced this same problem.

Many thanks Tig. Have a great day!

try turning your resolution down to the lowest setting. Errant stuff will usually reappear. That is what brought back a missing RPTools menu on my old machine.

ets say you have a concrete wall. you define the solid object to be made of concrete. when you now place a section cut right through this wall

good point Paris,
I've been thinking about this aspect of rectangles also. If a secton's cut edge could be selectable, the surface could be made and then a material used (or poche'd).

I think dimensioning in LO is a mute point...because the LO screen isn't reading or registering the SU model to dimension, and it proibably never will. I too would like dimensions to work in LO. My model gets too heavy when I dimension on SU, and then the dimensions dont show consistently in LO.

Revit does all this doesn't it?

Fan-Damn-Tastic!

Couldn't say it any better...Wow...great... off the chart! both y'all.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Tom,
Just wanted to drop in and thank you for the great trees. Peace buddy.

Hi Gai! You have to be super busy....hanks for a reply.
So I download SU7, and load a current project, I want to pdf it to see if I can read the SU text. The text is a little bit better at High Resolution than layout Beta, but I dont think I can collect money for it...
I found the print selections, and tried them out. I like my resolutions and dpis high all the time, so when I have to select High, and the test that is 2'-0" tall SU text on sheets is still chunky, I started trying to reinsert all LO text instead. Kills the keep your text live concept.

I am seeing a few issues like:

1. when I print to pdf, some components dont show up in the pdf.
2. The SU area of the LO sheet has a purple tint to it, even though the background is selected to be white, and this combines with missing components
3. I used a default LO 24x36 sheet and inserted my SU file, The LO sheet will pdf but the contents dont (it's blank).

i can navigate layout beta pretty well, though I will admit I had to revert to ACAD to actually publish anything. I'm seeing there are some changes in LO2 that will need to be learned, (like where did the right click UPDATE Command go?) I found Update Reference selection; but it doesnt do anything, and going back to the setup? menu to update is cumbersome, and actually forcing the issue causes Bugsplats...

Anyway , I see LO2 is better, and after trialing it for about 2 hours I am just wondering...Does it work?

What is the resolution output to pdf in LO2 is? Is it higher than the 300pdi in the previous version? I've been reading the Google documents and haven't seen it.

matteo,
I too, have been considering using Stokeit for programs that dont have this great functionality...I use a CAD software called Arris that has a intensive mouse gesture interface to invoke commands...I can draw and navigate my CAD with barely a keystroke.

Does Strokeit interfere with other softwares that have an internal mouse gesture command structure? I have been hesitant to experiment w/ strokeit for caution it may not behave with others.

Thanks for the great demo..

Hey,
It is working now...The Script is RPTools, and there is a "load at start" selection in the working menu under the hammer

Thanks Voder,
So I'm assuming I have a problem with the loader script...

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out something I've forgotten....
I am setting up a new computer, and getting SU to behave on the new pc like it did on the other one. Everything is o.k. except one of my plug-ins doesn't load at/when SU is started. I would like it to load automatically.I have saved it loaded into the default template...didn't work... any suggestions?

I think I have obviously eliminated the possibility of .dae being the import to GE file type. Export Still killing my pc even after eliminating most of the model trying to debug it.

So...New question: when adding a model file on Google Earth, and when the dialog box is opened all I get is the option for .dae file...How does one get the selection for a .kmz file in the drop-down box if it isn't showing up?

Hello,
Is the export from SU to GE .kmz or .dae? I can export from SU to .kmz, but GE doesn't give that selection to add a model...but, none of my machines will export to a .dae file...they all Bugsplat at 36%. I used GE extensively in April 08 and was bringing the model into GE but I dont remember having to import .dae files...The only directions I can find now involve snapshotting a GE terrain, placing the model then sending it to the 3D Warehouse... I could have sworn there was another way to do this...

fionmacool,
repost the attachment please. I would like to see what you have been able to accomplish. and I would be interested your description of line weight composition too. Thx

Bubba,
Here is one a simple word format I use on my letterhead. The line items were for a specific project to itemize the final amount.
