Like I said its been awhile , this is exactly what I was looking for!

o/ Dudes,
I am just wondering how you change the displayed dimensions to inches rather then feet and inches.
I've been away from SU awhile but could have sworn there was an easy way to do this.
Thanks for any tips.

Go into Window>Preferences>OpenGL and untick Use Hardware Acceleration. Click OK and close SketchUp. then reopen it. Do you see the selection box after that?

Perfect... Your a godsend Dave

Now back to work I go!

Any advice would be great.
I recently had to install a new version of SU on my computer, now my select tool doesn't display the dashed line box, you know the box that starts to form after you click drag, objects in the box get selected. It is nearly impossible for me to use this with out that.... where did it go?
Thanks guys,this is getting really frustrating and is killing my flow.

Thanks very much! It is in fact a worn mouse, changed it out and it's back to go.
I should have checked this sooner

Hello, I have been using SketchUp for about 2 years now. (V8.0)
Here is the problem that is frustrating me.

I have had my Orbit shortcut key set to the mouse scroll wheel, when I press the scroll wheel I can orbit, simple and I love it.

It has gone back to the default of "o" and I can't seem to get it set back to the scroll wheel.

Something that might explain it, I just tried this, is using the scroll wheel on a long page no longer seems to work. So it could be my mouse, but then why would sketchup change it back to "o" (I will look into the mouse more now)

Any help would be AWESOME I know hitting "o" to orbit isn't hard but my brain is trained to the way I used to have it.
