got to agree with juju . . . the productivity of the ruby amateurs must be putting the real team to shame!
Procedural modelling? Frankly I would rather see the text tool working properly . . and Layout too . .

dxf export still WIP TIG?

IMPORTING - sorted!
I am trialling Deep Exploration at the moment. It converts dwg to skp complete with text! (something Sketchup cant do currently) so I am happy that I can now get dwg into Sketchup.

EXPORTING - still a problem!
Sketchup - exports skp to dwg (inc dimensions) but no text-tag!
Deep Exploration - exports skp to dwg (inc text-tag) but no dimensions!

I need to use text-tag because 'normal text wont stay flat . . but I cant give copies of drawings to other consultants as dwg without losing text or dimensions.

Oh I do wish the SU team would sort this mess out.

would love to see some examples of this . . .

I also check this thread daily! Adam B for president! (maybe)

Are you drawing inside a group? Try drawing outside it . . . .

I am thinking of buying a laptop with a Dual 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 8700M

Question - my understanding is that dual SLI is really 2 graphics cards? Can Sketchup use both of them or is the second one effectively redundant and should I therefore go for 512mb on a single card?

Same question re the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500. Does Sketchup only actually use one core?

Solo . . you may just be my new favourite person!

. . . . . and I guess you already know you wont get any text importing.

I should specifically say I am not looking for Mac, and not looking for a laptop. I want something small and notebook sized like the Sony Vaio TZ series
http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProductCategory.action?site=voe_en_GB_cons&category=VN+TZ+Series
The graphics card on this seems to be an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 250mb.
I was wondering if anyone is runnning SU on this size of device?

I am seriously tempted to buy a little Sony Vaio notebook. Is anyone successfully using SU on a notebook? I think they have integrated graphics so I am wondering if it works well.
