in emmissive i guess you have to change the multiplier then.

when will the training sessions start? will the users get pdf files [ebooks kinda] for lessons? What is the fees of these courses?

I'm using windows 7 32 bit. over past few days when i start my computer i get the following box.

I originally had google as my default search engine but now windows automatically sets yahoo as default on startup inspite of changing it to google numerous times. i've played with both the tickbox options in this box but i fail to change my setting and this box popups upon startup . what should i do ?

can anyone tell me what are these plugins? i don't need them as they are cluttering my context menu.

Note however that in most cases, JPP is used for complex surfaces where the standrad push pull would not be effective. So the continuity of surface won't really happen.

I suggest you simply erase the unwanted lines.

Fred

In the case shown above is it possible that the pulling is like a normal pull? My shape isn't complex enough :lol:

With face and tool selected...

Press TAB to open dialogue box

Choose Finishing Options

Pick option

I chose thickening, then erase original faces, then keep original faces. All the options are giving the same results with the lines :?

using this plugin when i push pull a curved surface i have to manually delete the original surface that was push pulled. is there any way that this plugin jointpushpulls just like a normal push. and not like a ctrl+pull that makes a new face? For example i just want this yellow extrusion to be a part of the whole solid.

you should uninstall sketchup and move on to another program.

My friends
There ain't no any alternative for 3d modeling for sketchup. SU is very user friendly you know. Besides, people at SCF are soo intelligent, helpful, genial like Krisidious to the point that they are always ready to help others. The fantastic job of quick rate of replies to the queries of this forum has been possible with people like Kris. So if I switch to anyother 3d making app, i will have to find other forum where I won't find people like Krisidious who are extremely kind and down to earth. So I'm not gonna uninstall SketchUp. I don't believe in escapist attitude. I fight the battle against all the hurdles that come in my life with determination and confidence. Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. And if there are persons like Kris helping you out then no one can stop you from becoming successful.Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. :enlight:

it's part of a known SU bug that has something to do with a combination of plugins. meaning it's not really sketchup's fault. it has something to do with some plugin or another or a combination of the two. if you save the file and re-open that will fix it or you can do my lil trick of selecting a sizable piece of geometry, cut it or copy it and then paste in place. this should bring it back. if you'll notice your right click menu is probably gone while you have this issue as well.

well as i mentioned when i restart sketchup this problem disappears. doing the trick of cutting and pasting doesnt bring the good behaviour of component browser back. I tried reinstalling, repairing sketchup but the problem persists. I used Ccleaner to clean my registry. My right click menu is working fine. However i've been noticing something since past few weeks, sketchup gives a bug splat when i close the window. i've saved my model and clicked closed, the window gets closed, i see the desktop wallpaper and i get a bug splat. when i restart sketchup, everything works fine.

I saw this problem when I was using windows xp sp3. [I was also facing strange behaviours from other softwares like photoshop welcome screen flashing for a moment and photoshop doesn't start].

but this problem [sketchup bug splat] reoccured yesterday only. It was frequent in xp sp3 32 bit version after which i formatted my drive, this problem is very rare in windows 7 32 bit. but it occurs. i guess it's my plugins that are causing this havoc. there hasn't been any sketchup virus isn't it

Sketchup is really troubling me sometimes in the components browser, on clicking the down arrow drop down menu in it when I click components, it gets stuck. i.e. for e.g. if I have the landscape library opened and i want to go back to the architecture pack it won't show up. When I restart sketchup, it starts working fine. Looks like my system has a sketchup virus or somethin'. Scanned my pc thoroughly to find no malware, virus or anything.

Sorry it's not working. And you ARE in perspective camera view?

Yes I am in perspective.

I think this is the bit you need (from the Help link):

@unknownuser said:

This can also happen if your model is very far away from the origin point (the point where the red, green, and blue axes intersect). In that case, you can move your model closer to the origin point following these steps:

Select all of the geometry in your model by typing Control+A or Command+A, or by clicking and dragging the Select tool across your geometry.
Change to the Move tool by going to Tools > Move.
Grab a corner point of the selected geometry that is on the ground plane and start to move the selected geometry.
Type [0,0,0] (including the square brackets) in the Measurement toolbar (which is in the lower-right corner of the SketchUp window). This causes the selected point to be moved to the origin point.

Move your house to the origin (and you may have to move again if you are working a lot on another part of the 11 acres (nice size lot).

Peter

I did this too but still getting that cuts man moved to the origin, changed perspective angles, deleted autocad stuff, still getting failed

Is there a way to create a structure in google sketchup like the bird nest? I mean all the solid extrusions intersecting each other but

when they intersect the intersecting square doesn't come at all, i.e. to say the coplanar lines get deleted. I don't want to use the cleanup tool. I'm in a search of a way that makes me do like this

if there are 2 sqare extrusions [that is two cuboids], I make them intersect in a crisscross way, thereby making a plus sign, so the centre portion doesn't come as square.

this model is really driving me nuts, when i enable shadows, the view gets divided in half, with the buildings showing up in the upper half, and the brown ground colour in the bottom half

Did you do any of the things that were recommended in the link Gai posted? It doesn't sound like it.

Mr. Dave R I did everything that's mentioned in that link. If it doesn't sound like it, then what can I do

@unknownuser said:

Sign up at the CadTutor and ask your Autocad questions there. You will get a better response.

well i already did, cadtutor gave me no answer, autodesk forums gave a confusing reply

@dukejazz said:

Try useing projection, hideing, layering tool and/or bar-windows-outliner.

i didn't understand what you are saying

my site is 11 acres

That's the problem. See here:
http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36261

i changed the perspective angles a lot of times, moreover deleted the cad file that my model had, the ugly cuts remain

@gaieus said:

Are you clicking on the face (not a group or anything)?

yes on face

@gaieus said:

It's projected and on the left face it appears correctly but the perpendicular face it only repeats the last pixels. Right click > texture > uncheck projected.

all options are locked

@chris fullmer said:

Is this a very large file in dimensions? Does it cover a few square kilometers?

If not, do you have some stray geometry, maybe hidden or on a layer that is turned off? Or is the model far away from the axis origin? All of those things will make the clipping severe on a model.

my site is 11 acres, i have stray lines deleted with the plugin that's made 4 it, applied cleanup by thomthom. the problem persists.
