first one is xformclone.rb second: I don't know (i didn't find it in my database)

@rc5 said: @bob james said: @unknownuser said: sketchup gives a bug splat when i close the window. This happens to me often I also am continually plagued with the right-click menu being greyed out. So I have to weed out the conflicting plugin(s). I've seen this grayed out thing very often, but not the component browser. May I have the list of plugins that are the culprit? It's not a 'culprit' plugin or two. It's a result of the number of plugins you have loading - the context-menu etc can only support a certain number of 'commands' - if you exceed it by having hundreds of plugins vying for space it will 'gray-out'. This is a discussion about it AND even a plugin that tries to optimize 'command' usage http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=252413#p252413 . However its success will be limited if you have too many plugins loading - you can 'spring-clean' and disable the ones you never use that are contributing to the 'critical-mass' that's tipping you over the 'gray-out' limit - rename the little used .rb files with .TXT suffix, and then if you find later you want it to revert you can just remove the suffix and restart, OR to load it for that session only use ' load "xxxx.rb.TXT"' in the Ruby Console - where 'xxxx' is the tool/script's name. Note that if you have the latest version of your plugins then this will also help - a few scripts [including several of Fredo's] were found to contribute to this 'gray-out' issue by making 'duplicated' commands - as far as I know they have all be updated many months ago to avoid this contributory factor... Look through your Plugins and the Plugins Index to ensure you are up to date too...

@rock1 said: @pbacot said: Sorry it's not working. And you ARE in perspective camera view? Yes I am in perspective. 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' you have another post for this question... try to keep your posts together and not spread out. this is a known issue called clipping. your model has extremely small geometry and extremely big geometry... and the origin is to far from the farthest point.

Now I tryed to do what you did and found and easy solution. open paint bucket tool Right click texture object - make unique texture Then bucket paint it to the other sides

So they gave you no answer but the one you got was confusing? Do you have a link to your question over there please? You must be registered under a different username.

It's not really a "hack". There are a bunch of file types that work the same way. skm, kmz to name some from this SU/GE domain. They are simply "packed" files and are only renamed so that applications and the OS can identify them

That would explain my readings that said that when an SSD is installed readyboost is disabled by default. I'm not real clear on how disk caching relates to rendering though. Is it possible that a renderer might use disk caching? -Brodie

You can try Infrarecorder, free and efficient alternative I'm working with : http://infrarecorder.org/ Regards.

@solo said: Ummm... Try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136075 More than you need and all that you need. thanks lot man, but i'm really broke, i'm gonna participate in landscape design competition to get 50,000 bucks as a first prize. @charly2008 said: Hi, I already had this problem with MS Office and Photoshop. Try downloading the missing msvcp80.dll from a legitimate website (Microsoft) from the Internet and copy them into the Photoshop directory. This had worked for me. Charly thanks a lot charlie. But the problem is still there. I found the dll files as advised by you by doing the search thing in my nimbuzz[a chatting app] program files folder and snagit[screenshot utility] folder Actually i had this problem with google sketchup too when I was having XP but not the dll thingy. sketchup used 2 crash the moment i used to start it in windows xp sp3. i used 2 get a bug splat. but this happened two or 3 times only. and this used to happen more if i had an autocad/coreldraw/media player classic window open. many times media player classic also did the same teasing thing. i.e. the screen came 4 a fraction of second then disappear. But this has been resolved now, inspite of the facts that no virus found. "I'm not having any invisible-kick-software-startup a##" virus am I?

It won't automatically make dashed lines. You have to set them to be dashed. You didn't ask but if the section view is coming from SketchUp, explode it and then change the desired edges to dashed lines.

@mitcorb said: Hi, rock1: Look in Plugins Index, red button at top of this page, navigate to author "-BTM", look for link to Sculpt tool. This might help. awessssssome!! didn't know such an awesome freeform deformation tool existed

I've mailed to the geosketch guys as advised by Rich. Awaiting reply

I thought perhaps Geosketch from Cogent3d.com would have some relevance. This is what I mentioned, but couldn't remember. Another part of the name is TacForge. It is not a simple tracer.

Read the help files.

@jean lemire said: Hi folks. If after searching the help, you are still unable to find it, use Menu Window --> Preferences --> Extensions. Use the check boxes to enable the utilities. While at it, why not enable all of them. After that, close SU and restart to make sure that all extensions will load completely. You do this only once, normally. With the extensions enabled, the contextual menu for an object, will show, as the last choice, "Point at center" for circles, polygons and arcs. Just ideas. Cool!! thanksman

I think what most people have been trying to politely say in most of your threads is, If you try learning the basics first you will do so much better. Trying to use a plug in before you understand how to do something manually will only slow you down in the future.
