YES PLEEEEEEEZZZZEEEEEE! Having just redone mine for both my macs for SU14 upgrade...I was just thinking how useful it would be to have this automated!!!!!

Genius Tig, it works!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help

I've copied it from my SU 8 and pasted it into the plugins folder, but it doesn't show in the draw menu. It does show in Sketcucation plugins manager. Have I loaded it incorrectly, or maybe it's not SU14 compatible?

Hi Jiminy,

thanks for your speedy response, whilst looking for where it said it was for "windows", I realise I was being very dim!! I saw usage window layers panel and my brain made it mean usage for Windows!

I'll give it a try, it looks great. I'll let you know if I have any problems. All the best, Sally

Hi Rich,

Thanks, I did see that when I searched but thought I was supposed to load plugins via Ext warehouse or PlugIn store. Presumably I just put it in the plugins folder as before? All the best, Sally

Hello,

this looks great but I'm not sure if it is compatible for a Mac, it looks like people have tried it, but it does state on the download page that it is for Windows. Will it cause me any problems if I try it? have any Mac users tried it, any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm just sorting out all my plugins as I'm upgrading to SU14 from SU 8. I have a plugin in SU 8 called trilateration, which was available through the DRAW menu (Mac) but I can;t find this in the Sketchcation plugin store or the extension warehouse.

Does anyone know where I can find this invaluable tool please? Thanks,

Hi,

to anyone on a Mac who wants to know more, I kept having problems even after Box and Wind-bourne helped me so I played around a little more and discovered what I was still not doing completely right. I have summarised the steps you need to follow in the attachment below. Hope it helps!

Best, Sally

Brilliant, thanks to you both, problem solved and new things learned. Great!

I tried that but you can't click on it, just drag style icons onto it.

It must be somewhere else, but I can't find it! This is the mix panel in styles on a Mac.....

Are there any Mac users who can help?

Thanks again Box.

Hi Box,

thanks so much for your help, which has mostly solved the problem (I don't know how I'd managed to get the template soooo large!)

However, when you say

@box said:

You need to set and save the axes in the styles.

I can't see anywhere within styles to set whether the axes show or not.

I wonder if it's the same on Windows and Mac. But it makes sense that I have to set it somehow other than just ticking or unpicking axes within the view drop down, and this would explain why I have had so many problems with this previously.

best regards, Sally

Hi,

I've noticed a few times that when I save a scene with the axes off, they often re-appear the next time I go to the scene, even after un selecting axes and updating the scene.

I've just been setting up some scenes for a template file, with 4 scenes. On the 1st 1 of the scenes I want to see the axes, and on the next 3 of these scenes I want the axes not showing.

Despite changing them and updating the scenes multiple times, they come out the wrong way, ie the 1st scene has no axes but the next 3 have them showing. I've checked that the axes are ticked or unticked when I update the scenes, it shows correctly but as soon as I change scenes, they keep reverting.

I've also set up different styles for the scenes, but even though I've set up scenes 3 & 4 as 'shaded with textures', the textures don't show if I draw a face and apply a texture.

I can't work out what's going on, can anyone help? Has anyone else had this problem?

I've attached the file.

Thanks for any help you can offer, Sally

Hello,

I'm attempting to make a SU animation (on a Mac) of a model with lots of 2d face me plants and trees. When the animation moves from one scene to another, the components take a long time to appear and so the transitions don't look smooth. Are there any tips for this? Many thanks, Sally

thumbs up from a mac user, seems to work OK!
PS And I could up vote my own post

A wonderful share, thank you so much Leo

Hello Earth Mover!
These look amazing, but when I try to see the files I get a 'file not found' message on the Rapidshare site......am I too late?! Thanks, Sally

PS I've just realised who you are! You are amazingly generous and talented. Best wishes from Sally - Special Gardens

Thanks Paul, very useful

Hi,

sorry, I don't have the answer but would also like to know, so I'm commenting so I get a message if anyone else posts on your question!

Hi,

I do my planting plans in Layout and have created my own scrapbook of scale plant symbols, but they are fairly basic, I'm wondering if there are any ones that can be downloaded? Free or paid for? Does anybody have any suggestions ?

Thanks, regards, Sally
