Thanks Rodman....I looked at it, and I am using Hole Punching by TIG. It works great.

Hello All,

I know this is super basic, but I am having issues getting my door component to cut both sides of a wall. I am modeling a floor plan, and my walls have thickness (0.15m). I have made a door component that is 0.15m in depth, snaps to any face, and cuts an opening. I have the axis set to the front, but when I place it on the wall, it only cuts one face. Is there something else I need to do?

Any tips on finding which ones get altered?

I did start that. The textures I am using are from a library, and they don't cause any problems on any of the other models. Could it be how it is mapped to a face?

Hello All,

I am having an issue with two SU models. When I export to a DAE (I have tried this in V8 and v2013) the model will get to ~99% complete and then crash when exporting. I have changed the options to see if there is any difference. I have found that if I do not export the textures, the model will export the geometry. However, I need the model to be textured.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thanks...

Thank you Derek, but I am running a Windows 7 Asus tablet. The hard drive is ~32GB. Windows is taking up the majority of that, hence why I am looking to convert to Linux. But I do not want to loose the capability to view/show SU models on the tablet.

Thank you Norbert. I have looked at Wine, it had mixed reviews. I will look at the other options. I have a Windows & tablet, which I am thinking of converting to Ubuntu, but I don't want to loose the ability to show clients SketchUp models on the tablet.

Thanks...

Thank you for your reply. I have looked at SketchUp with Wine on Ubuntu, but it was getting mixed reviews. I have noticed that there is nothing other than SU for viewing files, but I was hoping that there may be some secret option out there. Usually, I have exported my files to Collada, but some applications drop the textures.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed, and run SketchUp Viewer on Ubuntu. I am looking to switch a Windows tablet I have to Ubuntu, but I would still like to have a viewer for showing SketchUp models. Side but related question, does anyone know of an open source viewer for SU models that will run on Ubuntu?

Thanks....

A manual process that we found was to use the Make Unique Texture. Now it would be to run that in batch on all horizontal faces with an elevation greater than zero. Thoughts?
