    • RE: Use of Mac "command" key for shorcuts

      Don't know if it's changed with time as I am on archaic 8 but I tested changing command M to delete easy enough in System Preferences and shortcut works.

      I would like to allocate a specific folder for my models other than the list presented on the Mac.
      It is possible on the Windows version but I can't find this option in System Preferences on Mac

      If you are willing to pay, I bought many years ago when on sale. ๐Ÿ˜„

    • RE: Keyboard shortcuts and 3d Mouse Pro

      @mwm5053 said:

      And one more thing using modifier keys like command and option aren't allowed. I'm on a Mac by the way.

      That palette issue within SU since day 1 for me, easy workaround in System Preferences. Does need modifier keys though. Can toggle all the different toolbars...plus your shortcuts show in menu in case your memory slips ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

      I would be surprised if you can't use modifiers for keystrokes with that exotic mouse.

      I have a problem :

      • when adding keyshortcut to LayerPanel tool palet it adds shortcut to SketchucationPluginStore tool palet this same shortcut
      • and as result to use of shortcut, command opens SketchucationPluginStore tool palet!

      Weird, it works fine for me on windows. Can another mac user confirm this?
      What happens if you disable SCtools?

      @bimbachi said:

      question:
      is it possibul that LayerPanel window position would be kept as last open location on the screen? โ“

      I haven't figured how to do that on Mac, it works fine on windows...

      I am assuming what you really want is a shortcut to the layers panel itself and not the toolbar(Palette) icon.

      Within SU shortcuts you can open layer panel window in Window menu but it won't toggle.

      The most functional setup is in System Preferences as you can toggle window with shortcut. You do need to restart after setting or else merely toggles icon.

      You guys are funny ๐Ÿ˜„ but I still can't locate the material folder where the default materials .skm's are, not in MacHD or user /Application Support I would like to put SCF seamless .skm's and others I've created with the default material .skm's.

      You really don't want to put yours with the defaults. The defaults are stored here

      @dlp said:

      This looks really simple but I can't get it to work. The Add Location window appears, I navigate to the location I want, I click the Select Region button, adjust the selection box, then click Grab and the selection box disappears but the Add Location window is still there with no options to do anything. When I close the Add Location window there is nothing in Sketchup. I am using Sketchup 8 free for Mac.

      try info here

    • RE: GEO LOCATION

      @gordon greenwood said:

      I am modeling a farm house on Dartmoor, when I try to add Geo location, I can select the area, Grab it, but then nothing happens?
      I can always remember in Sketchup 8 that it used to bring the map into the model, this does not happen on my Pro 13, I am running MacOS lion and all other features work fine.
      the image shows my screen shot, and thats as far as it goes,
      suggestion please guys?

      I'm on Mavericks and everything works fine with no adjustments necessary for 8 and 2013.

      This topic came up before and the link from that thread wouldn't work so here is a screenshot of solution given

      If simplicity counts and your context menu is not overloaded the Extend11.rb at the bottom of linked thread may fit your needs.

    • RE: Orbit with 3 Button Mouse

      @olishea said:

      My logitech rbq124 does this. I have to use the side scroll wheel. I've got used to it now, but it really annoyed me. Changed all the settings, set orbit to middle mouse button to no avail. I changed settings in both SU and mac system preferences but nothing worked.

      Orbit on that mouse works OK for me. If you are not too habituated to what you have now you could try once again...

      On the Scroll Wheel setup, choose one of the start modes of SmartShift other than 'shift manually between modes' as shift manually uses Scroll Wheel Button.
      Scroll Wheel Button arrows will no longer be greyed out and you can choose middle click.

    • RE: Problems installing and running Sketchup on MacBook Pro

      @asrnyc said:

      We are trying to open a .skp file. When we attempt this we are asked for a location to expand the file and an expander icon appears on the desktop. We set the location in our documents folder and say ok, then get an error message that the stuffit engine is unable to determine the file format. Thank you for your help.

      Sounds like Stuffit is set to open application rather than SU. Right click on file, Open With should be SU(default) and if it's not choose 'Other...', applications folder will open and there you can choose SU.

      If that was problem go to 'Get Info' to set which version of SU you want as default when opening .skp files.

    • RE: [Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1

      @jiminy-billy-bob said:

      When you choose another render engine in the list, does your change stay after reopening the dialog? Or does it revert back to Vray? (Which is default)

      Those are not dependent on the OK button. They hold across sessions, in the vid you can see indigo>vray>indigo as I slowed that transition way down...

      So you confirm you're running SU8 pro on OSX 10.9.1 ?
      Do you see the effects of changing these options ? (Like if you uncheck "Display render toolbar")

      Yes, using 10.9.1 and SU pro and tested on SU 2013, no combination of check/uncheck of boxes has any effect and reopening options displays as shown above every time.

      What I mean is, does it hide the render toolbar ? (In the main dialog)
      I want to know if the changes are applied, apart from the options dialog being broken.

      Duh moment when I read warning sign when merging layers and saw I could disable elsewhere. My style of modeling doesn't bring forth that warning on its own and didn't understand why the plugin was until I watched SU's Layers window while merging layers. The warning sign was what I wanted to eliminate and now I know how.

      Warning when merging layers ? There is none in LP. I d'ont get what you're talking about.
      Maybe the warning when drawing geometry on another layer than layer0 ?

      Vid showing your Layers Panel rebuilding and second part shows (control-E)merge layers moving active layer(shown in SU layer window) and tripping warning sign.

      Unticking the warning box yields same results though not shown in vid.
