How much vram on your 4060? What render engine do you use? I have just been down this rabbit hole

@nickchun thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback...

CURIC 2021 compatible plugins were just released this morning. 🎉
(edit: nevermind - i just installed and they are not working....all kinds of load errors)
(edited edit: I emailed Curic the errors and updated package was promptly uploaded. All good now. 👍

Tag folders - I have been dying for this feature for a while...now if they could just switch the name 'tag' back to 'layer'.... 😞

As far as the new logos.....see pic below... 🤣

Of course.... 👍

The Warehouse appears to be back online.

Thanks for chiming, TIG
Yes, the planes were on the ground plane; I never thought to check that!!! I guess I've always started generating line work on the ground plane and wasn't aware that even when hidden style is active, two or more planes won't display...

I know what I'll do from now on; set my floor level above the GL.

Easy fix. Thanks again. 👍 👍

Excellent on the driver update thing. I'm glad that helped.

We had a lot of snow back in February and March. I'd have gladly shipped it to you if I could.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to provide an update on our pricing. Based on the feedback we have received, we have adjusted our pricing to make it much more affordable. I hope you will give Skimp another look.

Thanks!

Found it... would be great for attendees. Just makes the rest of us envious!!

Difficulty of SubD modeling is that you must imagine how your basic form must to be
before it will subdivised! 😄

...and for apply a texture 😉

Thanks Pilou, I'll certainly print these out and have a read through them... applying textures is another question I had so I'll see if I can get through the first stage then work that out after....

Cheers!!

Very likely signing out of SketchUp and signing back in would take care of it. But to get you going, you could go to the Extension Warehouse and download the Trimble Connect 2.0 rbz file and install it with Install Extension from the Extension Manager. I took the liberty of downloading it and attaching it here so you don't have to go looking.

Thanks Dave.
Solved it for me too. 👍

hi there together... its about time for 2019 any day now, or not?

im really excited to see what will be in there 😄

This may not be too important to you, but make sure the m.2 drive is PCIE not SATA, much higher read / write capabilities. Make sure to keep data storage off of the primary drive (the 500GB 970 EVO), only use it for the OS and programs/ apps installation. A secondary drive would be better for data storage.

Depending on whether or not you're going to be on a network with other computers, you may want to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro (it might be a good idea to check the capabilities / compatibility of the OS you're choosing).

I know everything is about budget, but take a look at the 8700K and how much more it costs for that extra 500MHz base clock.

See if you can get better than the standard thermal compound, like GELID, on the CPU & GPU, it makes a difference.

NIce. better get learning then...

Thanks guys, something I obviously missed with upgrading to 2017....

Yes, that don't print read but couldn't work out why some were red and some weren't.
@bmike, pey I have a DIMS layer and that's the workflow to adopt. Cheers to you all.

Just revisiting this thread; when converting colours to vector and exploding down to base elements, any colours with opacity levels altered will come in as full colour.

You could then just reapply the opacity level, though I'd be inclined to change the mode of the colour editor and add white.

And just tried a new model with nothing in it....
Can't find the red axis.

Just tested a model similar to the one in your file, feb 13.
With the camera position you presented I could find R, G and B axes in FOV less than 10 deg upto 120 degrees. No problem here.
The blind spot that seems to only appear on my laptop decreases with a larger FOV.
Weird.

Speed and large file capabilities. They always say we'll just ask for more but SketchUp is always behind on what one needs for working on typical models for typical small building projects, let alone for adding landscape, and other models that are handled easily by other software.
