Hi TIG,

Unable to get it working....... SU2014. I create csv file. Run Converter, shows me the options I can change, but nothing after that..?

Regards

HI Guys. I have finally found the answer. The problem was the ACtiveX control on my PC. I went to internet options, security and reset all defaults. That didn't work. Then I ran a fix: Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Expand the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\ In Zones there is a folder "L" with 2 keys in. Deleted the folder and everything started working again. It is apparently a bug in the Adobe Flash download, but we are up and running again. Thanks for all your help. Dave, don't forget my Sheet sizes now, hey.....!!!

I am running IE8 and .Net 2. It has something to do with an "engine" that runs the drop downs. (An executable file that cannot find what it needs to work.)Other plug ins I have work fine. I am running the free version of Vali Architects " create roof" with no problem. Hence the reason I think it is something that both Cutlist and Ve-ware need, that is missing off my PC.

Rich, what .Net Framework do I need to be running.
Is this an issue...? I have checked and updated Java.

Hi Guys.

I am running SU8 on Windows 7 and I am having the following problems. I recently tried to load Cutlist4.0 which would not work. The plugin loads and is available but none of the buttons in the pop up windows work...? Dave R and I spent a lot of time trying to rectify this for Cutlist 4.0 but I could not get it to work. Disappointedly I wrote that off, however I recently loaded the IES Ve-Ware plug in and have the same problem. I do suspect that it is something missing from my computer but I am not sure what it is. The previous versions of Ve-Ware worked fine on SU7, but that doesn't either anymore...? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why can't you get Cutlist 4 to work? And what board sizes do you need?

Hey Dave. Cutlist loads fine to Sketchup 8/Windows 7 and I can see everything and change setting but it does not run...? SA has 2 standard board sizes 2750mm x 1830mm and 2750mm x 1220mm. I do run an external optimizer but I could speed everything up if I could optimize straight from Sketchup.

HI Guys. I have not been able to get Cutlist 4 to work on my PC, but I am not to concerned as the standard board sizes are not the standard board sizes in my country so it would not work for me. What I am looking for though is a basic "cutting list" plugin that could create a board/sheet optimization based on the boards in a model/component. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All. I am very new to DC's and trying to create a component that once I have scaled it, it will automatically create additional components that are not longer than a set value. Attached file is a "lattice beam" which has a manufacturing length of 4 meters and is used as floor plate for building. I would like to scale along red axis and automatically create a new beam every 4 meters. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Chris.

Hi All. I am able to export an animation, however I am getting a really poor quality avi file. I need to do a presentation on a projector. How can I increase both the size and quality of the exported avi...? (SU7 free version)

Thanks. Next question if you don't mind. Scale shows as a size of the original scale. 1:2 etc. Anyway I can type in a size ie: 2600mm...?

Hi All. New to the wonderful world of sketchup and am having many sleepless nights learning as fast as I can. I have run into a problem though. I cannot for the life of me change 1 dimension in a component. I have created a component that I need to resize the height frequently as I add it to a design. Scale changes all dimensions....?
