Thanks Tig,

I thought i was being clever removing V-Ray as I'm pretty sure that was the cause of all the problems I was having.

Anyway I decided to cut my losses and totally uninstall and re-install sketchup. Followed all the instructions as per the sketchup website.

on opening the new install of sketchup, still got the error message as above but weirdly also had scatter and podium still showing in the plugins dropdown. I thought by uninstalling it would remove everything and i can just start again with a fresh copy. what should I do? any ideas.

Hi Guys,

Decided to clean up some of my plugins as have been having lots of performance glitches with sketchup 2017 for a long time, I am at the end of a contract and have removed a lot of incompatible plugins and things which I believed were causing problems.

I just restarted sketchup and got this message about v-ray. any ideas how to fix this issue. I have looked in application support for rogue files. pray not showing in my sketchup extensions so don't really know what to do. any help appreciated.

thanks

Another help post, this problem started happening a while back and is becoming a real pain in the ass I hope you can help me. Since it stated happening I have re installed sketchup and its still happening.

My entity info dialogue box doesn't respond!! if i click on a group or component to see if its solid etc it doesn't change, then once or twice a day it will work for a few minutes then go back to a frozen state. its driving me mad - any help greatly appreciated

yep all up to date OS X el capitan 10.11.6

I'm using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB

Don't think so, i can't find hardware acceleration in my preferences, am I looking in the right place?

Hi Again,

Second post this week, I have recently re-installed due to this and other problems. The other problems seem to have sorted themselves with the reinstall however I am still getting a hang when I try and turn on shadows in a scene, not a complex models but for some reason I get the spinning wheel of death and have to force quit. This is going to be a problem as I need to present the models in Layout with shadows.

Any known bugs - this has only recently started happening, I have cleaned up the model, everything is solid 10mb file down from 36mb after clean up. don't know what else to do.

Any help greatly appreciated as always.

no I'm on 2017 can't work out how to change my profile thing any help with that would be good. I always put "I'm on Mac Version 2017 pro user etc" at the top of my posts now.

Thanks guys,

Anyone else have to force quit sketchup in order to exit the program, since upgrading on day 1 I have had to do this, and now that i have re installed this morning it still does it. also ruby warehouse is painfully slow to load. is this a known issue?

Hi,

I have been having lots of problems with sketchup this past week, shadows not turning on in scenes causing long freezes, layout not updating scenes correctly and then not being able to export pdf of the drawing. Just freezing constantly. So this morning I took the plunge and uninstalled sketchup, deleted the plist etc, re installed, all the same problems are still happening so I have abandoned the drawing and have put it down to some sort of glitch or corruption in the file. I have tried to export the drawing from layout as a pdf from other peoples machines and the same problem so it must be a dud file. I have spent two days trying to sort thesis various problems and I am going to move forward now. So i start working on a new model, all fine until I need to weld some lines, I go to sketchucation to re download my sketchucation extensions, I find in my sketchup preferences that the extensions heading in the left pane has dissaperaed, how do I now install the sketchucation plugins without this option!!!

2017 VERSION, ITS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I UPDATED ON DAY ONE OF 2017 BEING AVAILABLE. LAST WEEK I UPDATED TO LATEST VERSION AS HOPED THIS WOULD SOLVE IT BUT IT HASNT. NOT WORKED OUT HOW TO CHANGE PROFILE DONT COME ON HERE THAT OFTEN ANYMORE. NO NEW PLUGINS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.

My entity info dialogue box does not work!!! when I click on a component or group it remains blank causing me endless frustration - this has only started happening in the last few weeks so I updated to latest version and it still is happening.

Any help gratefully appreciated

I should say that I am using Layout 2017 on a mac, so the layers panel is normally floating on my second monitor. I don't think i have moved it into the edge of the monitor as that has happened before, but I can't see it anywhere. Is it possible to reset panels

My layers panel has disappeared in layout 2017 and i cant get it back by clicking on window-layers nothing happens. Is there a reset? Anyone else having massive problems with this program, every upgrade seems to get glitchier and glitchier

Hi any ideas what combination of edge filters i need on round corner in order to just see the border lines. look at the image. On the left is how I would like to see it on the right is the best I can get and I end up having to do loads of clean up. any help greatly appreciated

thanks guys, its a real bugger this one, just gonna have to fudge it I think. The plasterers have worked it out on the set and even they were scratching their heads as to how best to achieve it. Ill put this one down to experience and move on, Still annoying though!!!

Thanks Panixia, tried most of what you have suggested already, will try helix along a curve, is that a separate plugin?

Dear all,

I trust everyone is well, I am having a real nightmare trying to suss this out. I have a curved wall in my model, off of this curve I have some niches around the opening of the niches I am trying to run an extrusion profile. The profile needs to twist around the curve and remain perpendicular to the face. I have tried everything, upright extruder, loft along path, follow me, extrude edges by face, extrude along sloping curved path, I have blown the model up to a massive size and am at my wits end. Please see the pictures below that show the curve of the wall, the niche area and a section through the profile - you will see how its not twisting to the correct plane. I am using the outside face as the extrusion path but as you can see by the time it gets to the top of the arch its twisted in and overlapped with the shell of the niche, see the last picture below. Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Thanks dave, big help

Hi Dave,
thanks for the reply I am actually after this look as shown below, where the outer edges of the Radius are shown only so that when I put the model into Layout I not only have points that I can snap to for measurements but you can also make out the edge.
