Hi I would like to ask what edge prop filter, border and inner edge settings need to be on to have the effect below (I have had to soften all edges and then redraw the lines to show what I need) where the outer edges of the round are visible and the inner edges are hidden. I have tried every kind of variation I can think of and they all end up showing all the additional edges created. Please help if you can

thanks

Luke

Hi All, I am not very computer savvy in terms of how to download and install things on a mac, how do you get this new build for the bug fixes, do you uninstall old version first. please help.

So I have posted a few times regarding Sketchup Hanging and crashing but I have a few others that I wanted to share to see if I can get to the bottom of this.

1. Extension Warehouse...

does anyone else have this problem. When I go to the extension warehouse and click on my extension the list of extensions I have loaded versus what I actually have loaded is completely wrong. For example it says in the extension warehouse that I have Fredoscale but that I currently have it disabled, not the case I use this plugin all the time and it works fine. This happens to about 70% of my listed plugins.

Also when I remove plugins, that is disable them and remove them because they say not compatible with 2014 such as select and isolate. Why then no matter what I do and no matter how many times I click remove does it remain in the list of extensions. I quit the program and come back and it's still there.

One other small problem with the warehouse is that I like to occasionally browse the extensions, I'll see one I like click on it then when I click back to the list it reloads the entire page and I have to scroll back down to where I was often losing my place. I find this very annoying.

2. Sketchup 2014 hangs

No matter what I do sketch up will not quit at the end of a session. It times out and I have to manually force quit, it then has a pop up with send to apple. When it crashes which is quite often I no longer get bug splats but send to apple pop ups instead. I have uninstalled all my plugins to see if this helps but p[lease see above problem regarding remming plugins. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times each time being careful to remove plist etc. But no luck and I don't seem to be getting much response from sketch up.

Thanks

Luke

I am having the same problem, Its very frustrating as I need to vector render most of my stuff, Hybrid rendering is fine but I crash every time when trying to vector render

Hi Jeff,

Thats what I thought also, I had the same problem on my macbook. I changed the settings in system preferences but it seems that sketch up is the only program that doesn't adhere to these settings. Since I got my iMac about two weeks ago, I have had the same problem. The system preferences box (close windows when quitting an application) is ticked - see screen shot below. But again it does not appear to work when using sketch up - This has only happened since upgrading to 2014, On both machines this happens.

Hi Driven,

Here is the new code

puts Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
Dir.foreach(Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins"))do
|f|
puts f
end

thanks for this by the way.

@ Driven
here is the list you asked for

puts Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
(Sketchup.find_support_files("","Plugins")).each{|f| puts File.basename(f)}
nil

I will try disabling all plugins soon, at the moment I need them for the job I am on. Will report back if no change.
Thanks

Here are some screen shots of what I get

A) SHOWING HOW SKETCHUP DOES NOT RESPOND TO SHUT DOWN

B) THE GREY BOX I GET, I GET THIS BOX ON CRASHING AND FORCE QUIT, SINCE UPGRADING I DONT SEE THE OLD BUGSPLAT REPORTER OF OLD.

just looked up and realised its all in capitals, I'm not shouting just can't be bothered to type it all out again.

Thanks

Luke

Hi,
I have the same problem with crashing, however my problems are slightly different, I can open sketch up fine, but if I try to open recent it crashes. If I have an open file and want to open another file, I can navigate to it on the desktop and open it but then it crashes. when I re open sketch up it opens all the crashed files. this is 80% of the time. Also I can't ever quit sketch up, it just does not quit. Close a file fine, quit sketch up not responding, constantly have to force quit which can't be good. Also no longer get an option to send a bugs plat like the screen grab above, I now get a grey box that says sketch up quit because of a problem - send to apple??? is this the same as a sending to sketch up are you receiving these oh and saving a file takes ages even a small file can take 30 seconds to save. I have section cut face installed. I recently purchased a brand new iMac with top of the range graphics hard drive, ram etc I'm running mavericks and the version of sketch up on this mac is a complete fresh install from the website, I have not migrated anything from my previous macbook, which I replaced with this IMac because of the problems I was having with sketch up. I thought it must be because my macbook was getting old. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Luke

Hi All,

My version of Layout is crashing every time i try and resize a viewport. I can't get any work done because of this. I updated to OSX Mavericks recently. Could this be an Issue. Any help greatly appreciated as always.

Luke

Cheers Jeff,

I know about the checkbox in preferences and checked it a long time ago. However sketch up is the only application that still exhibits this behaviour. Its like its immune from it. Any other ideas?

Hi all,

Thought I would post as the last few weeks my sketch up has been causing me many problems. I am running sketch up pro 2013 on a mac.

In the last few weeks bugsplats have gone from being an occasional annoyance to happening every house or so sometimes more. It is very annoying and has interrupted my workflow so much I am thinking about going back to manual drafting. I work on movies as a draftsman and have over the last few years made the transition from traditional drafting to completely doing everything in sketch up and layout.

These bugsplats became more frequent after I downloaded a trial version of VRay. I have since deleted all trace of VRay and last week I did a complete fresh install. I deleted all the plist files and old version of sketch up off the computer. Hoping this would be the end of it, but the bugsplats still happen 10-30 times a day.

Also since doing a maintenance update a few months ago whenever sketch up crashes and I re-open the program it reloads all the files I had open before the crash. This never used to happen!! I used to just go to the most recent autosave and open that. This new way of things opening is annoying as when I have 10 or more crashes in a row i end up waiting for ages for the program to reopen all the files. I hope this makes sense. Can someone please tell me if there is a way to disable this behaviour. If sketch up crashes I just want to open the last autosave and that be the only file that opens. Im getting very frustrated with this now. Also Layout has become so slow. I have used Layout hundreds of times and know all the tricks to keep the file size down while editing but even a 23mb model is making Layout painfully slow. I'm used to working with models that are at least 55mb. Any help on these matters is greatly received.

Thanks

cheers guys, I'm rubbish at computer related things like downloading and installing things. does it automatically update stuff or is it a long winded process of removing the old version and putting the codes in and all that annoying stressful stuff that never works when I try and do it.

Hi,

Something that has been bothering me since I upgraded to 2013 back in March is my custom toolset.
I have a lot of my plugins in my toolset (see picture below of untitled 1) and sometimes when I open sketch up I get a blank document without my custom toolset. Sometimes when working on a previously saved file that had the full toolset the said toolset reverts to basic when i open and close the file. Its a random thing so sometimes it will be fine for ages and other times it does it all day long as I am open closing files. Does anyone know why this might be?

also I randomly get a message saying "A new version of Sketchup is available" but when i click the link it takes me to the 2013 download which is the one i have. I do have previous versions of sketchup loaded going back to sketchup 6 so I thought this was conflicting the file but I started checking the About Sketchup tab whenever I saw this prompt and it everytime it says I am running 2013.

Its just a small issue but it can be frustrating haveing to sit there and re-open toolsets all the time.

Thanks

Luke

here are the pictures illustrating my point.

thanks

Hi,

Love this plugin however wanted to ask about rounding corners. When I try and round corners I end up with all the edge lines visible. I know you can turn these off in the drop down menu but I have tried every varuaition I can think of and cant get the desired results. can someone please tell me what parameters I need to set in order to get smooth rounds with edge lines at the radius points only like in the picture below.

Thanks

Luke

Hi, Does anyone know of a tutorial video for this plugin. I have downloaded the pdf manual but cant work out how to use this plugin. I want to transfer all the layer states currently in the default sketchup layer dialogue box to this new layer manager. can anyone help me get started?

Thanks

Luke

Thanks Dave,

Just good to know its not a bug.

Regards

Luke

Hi All,

Just a quick one to see if anyone else has this problem, I am using Fredos round corner tool to bevel some edges in my model. When i use the tool it creates a strange gradient effect on all adjoining faces - see attached video.

This does not effect the output in Layout but it does annoy me when things seem buggy. Anyway Im on a mac with latest operating software, I have a pro license for sketchup 2013. It does this all the time whther Im rounding the corners or bevelling. I would love to know if anyone else has this. Oh and shadow settings wise - in the video shadows are off, but i get the same effect if they are on and if i use sun for shading or not.

Thanks

Luke
