Hello Didier, will you be updating this for SU 2020. I am lost without it!! Complement perdue!

Merci beaucoup

Hi Yoni,

when I looked at the CF screen and clicked on all the icons, (I think it was the eye one) I saw a message saying please re-start SU to rebuild the toolbar. So I restarted and voila, there they all were. I had 6 lots of the same folder, presumably they had loaded each time I had tried but just didn't show. Su version 18.0.16976 by the way.

Happy bunny now, looks like a great tool. Many thanks, best, Sally

Hello Yoni (?)
1 it has never worked
2 I see the interface normally
3 purging made no difference

When I click on add folder, I can navigate to the folder I want, but all the SKP files within the folder stay greyed out. And nothing loads. I think I will uninstall and re-install the rbz file.

Thanks, Sally

Hello,

I too have installed the rbz file, have the toolbar and component browser window but can't load any components or folders. I'm on a Mac running Mojave 10.14.1. No messages on the ruby console.

Thanks, kind regards, Sally

Hi Emerald,

thanks, as simple as that? The LO file scale was 1:100, when I changed the scale to 1:100 on the SU model view panel in LO on ORTHO, the measurements were correct. I don't remember ever having to do this before though, and I've done a lot with LO! Oh well, happily I noticed the dimensions were wrong, otherwise it might have been a nightmare!!

The scene was saved correctly, so I don't know what happened there, but it is now saving correctly, I think it might have been to do with an imported model and its imported layers....but thanks for taking the time to help, all sorted now

Hello,

I have imported a model into Layout, but when I dimension it, the dimensions are not correct. I have not had this problem before. I have tried re-linking and also re-importing the model, but get the same, incorrect dimensions.

In this same LO file, I also have had problems after importing the SU file getting it to display the scene as saved, in terms of view, layer visibility and style. None of these corresponded with what showed in the saved SU scene.

Any ideas what is wrong (or what I am doing wrong!) gratefully received.

best regards, Sally

SU version 14.1.1283

Quicktime all the way. It works fast and does a very good job.

Hi Chris, do you mean Quicktime pro? And can you add still photos in between video clips or would you need to import the quicktime edited video into iMovie and do that in there? Thanks, best regards, Sally

Great, all sorted, thanks Jeff.

Thanks Jeff,

I'd already had a look at that thread, but still can't work out where to add style files. They're ones I've downloaded rather than created myself, so I presumed I had to put them into a style folder, but can't find one. There is one in my ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 8/SketchUp folder, but not in my ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp folder.

I've tried by opening an existing collection, and then navigating to the downloaded files, but I can't open them. I think I'm missing something here! I've tried looking at styles help on SU help..but can't find the answer.

Hi Jeff, no, I wasn't getting the cursor in the input field, so I couldn't assign anything, but I've just checked again now (on my mac book ) and it's working fine again, so I don't know what happened. But thanks, all is well! best regards.

Hi,

I've just finished loading all my plugins onto my imac & Mac book, but now I can't assign shortcuts, to any of the new plugins but also the standard ones, on either the imac or mac book. The command initially goes blue when I select it, but then immediately goes grey, and I can't assign anything. I had added some since upgrading to SU 14, so it was working, but now it seems not to be......any ideas what's happened or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Sally

Mac, Mavericks, SU 14

Just for info if you're reading this thread, on the advice of Dave I changed the name of my plugins folder and created a new plugins folder, then re-installed sketcucation tools, re-started SU and then re installed my plugins. All is working fine now and the bundles are present and have transferred between imac & desktop. Problem solved.
Thanks all, especially Dave, for your help and suggestions

Hi,

I can't find my styles folder! Where is the styles folder on a Mac (mavericks) for SU14? Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Just to clarify, I have an imac and a macbook pro. I have skecthucation tools loaded on both. On my MBP I could see a bundle for the MBP, but not for the imac. On my imac I had nothing in the bundle window.

I uninstalled the Skectucation tools on my imac and re-installed it, and it now shows me the bundle on my MBP but again, there isn't one for my imac.

I have one or two plugins on my MBP, but I have been concentration on getting the imac set up, so most of them are on that, and then I was going to transfer them to the MBP.

It seems strange that the imac isn't seeing them....

Sally

Hi again,

I've noticed that in my plugins folder, the Ruby scrip file name for Sketchucations loader .rb starts with an exclamation mark (see attachment) Is that normal, or does it signify a problem and could this be why my bundle doesn't show?

thanks Driven,

I've managed to sort it with Dave's help, the problem was that I'd put all of Tig's folder in my plugins folder, where as I should have opened his folder and just copied/moved the folder within the folder, (i.e. the one containing all the skm files) into my plugins folder. Once I'd done that it worked fine.

best regards, Sally

Hello,
I've downloaded Tig's RAL file with English names (thanks Tig) and placed it in my materials folder, where all the colours are in a second folder and show as SKM files. It shows as a collection in the paint bucket but it's empty....I've tried a re-start a couple of times but still no joy.... help please

Aha! Not quite so dim then....I had got that far, even without coffee, but when I click on 'bundle', my bundle cupboard is bare! However I do have lots of plugins installed. That's when I came across the Plugin sets menu, and presumed I had to load them....

What now?

Hi Dave,

hmmm, bundle? I haven't just taken the easy way out and asked without trying on my own......but I can't work out how to do this. I've found the Plugin sets menu, which i'm guessing I would navigate to my plugins folder and 'import all', but I can't work out how to navigate there as I can't get to the hidden folder through that as I can't use the alt key..... or am I being dim?

I also can't find any help reference.....again, am I being a dimbo? Quite possible

Hi,

I've spent ages setting up SU14 on my desktop with all my plugins etc, (some great new ones, you plugin peeps are amazing, thank you! ) I am presuming that I can just copy the whole plug in folder to my laptop, but thought I'd check first! Any advice?

Thanks, Sally

PS I think I've read that I can copy my materials from SU 8 ......is that right?
