I was recently forced to reformat my hard drive and in the time between creating a Sketch Up model and reformatting, Sketch Up has changed. Now I cannot access my Sketch Up file.

I use the 3D Warehouse a lot to populate my drawings with kitchen accouterments.
For example, right now I need a bunch of dinner plates to put in a curio cabinet.I start by entering the keywords : “Dinner Plate”.
This takes me to some images and I select one to download directly into model.
When I go back to select another I have to start back at the beginning and wade through aesthetically pleasing images of motorcycles, mid-century modern desks and cabins in Tahiti.What I would like to be able to do is return to the last place I jumped off at.
It seems to me that Sketchup used to remember my searches and take me back to my last one.
Is there a switch I need to flip to make this happen?MY SECOND QUESTION has to do with the paucity of dinner plates. It used to be there were gazillions of examples of everything I might need. It seems like since Sketchup released it’s last version that there isn’t as many examples of anything anymore. Has something changed in the3D warehouse or am I just being grumpy? I use Sketchup Pro 2017 if that makes a difference.

I’m creating dynamic components that spawn copies of themselves, and include geometry that separates the copies, but hides itself if it’s the original. It’s working correctly in the model, but I want to generate reports off these components. I can’t find a way to exclude hidden geometry from the report generator, so the quantity includes copies of the separator that aren’t in the model. Anyone know a fix for this? I suppose I could add my own variable to do spreadsheet wizardry after the fact, but someone has to have run into this before with dynamic components. Hoping for a better solution. Thanks

I had 2017 on my laptop and tried to install 2018. I would get a bug splat crash notification when I tried to run 2018. This was a couple weeks ago. Today I uninstalled both. I tried to reinstall 2018 and it won’t install. My virus protection (company managed) is saying that the software has Adware/Caqjk virus attached to the installer and won’t install it.
I will find out from my admin about the adware, but I also am concerned that even with that, there is still something wrong with the installer.

I want to be able to collapse all sub-trays with a tray. For example, Adobe Lightroom for the desktop has a “Solo Mode” in which opening one sub-menu (sub-tray) collapses the others. This saves a great deal of screen space.

Morning all
So I am trying to create a slightly distorted plan view in perspective.
This is the true view …
But what I want to do is tilt it slightly (as below) but keep it ‘striaght’ in the view. So what I’m getting is a tilt like below. Is there a way to lock the UCS while orbiting so I can tilt and still stay straight ? That was horribly explained but I hope you get the idea.

I am a devoted SUP user since 10+ years. After releasing SUP Shop I am really worried that SUP Pro will follow and become a web product, losing main features like plugins and many other things. This makes me hesitate about my entire future use of SUP for the first time. What is the most recent opinion of the SUP community about his? What is the intention of the Trimble/SketchUp?
(I know there are threads about this, though I can’t find them. Maybe someone could help me move this topic to the right place)

SketchUp software quality in one image
I just stuck on launch without any reason. On 3,5Ghz core i7 proc and 32Gb RAM. Such a lightweight 3D sketching software. No other 3D/2D/Video editors was launched in that time.
Five attempts to force quit and launch without success. I know what the support will say: “Restart you mac”. I do not need software which require restart my machine to lunch it.
More complex tools like Cinema 4D and Modo never stuck like this on my mac.@DanRathbun and @Anssi i glad to see you have no problems with the UI, usability and performance of this product. Maybe it’s need to be a distinct type of mind to use and like the way sketchup works and do not see the roughness.
The bad thing is users who paid money for the bad product and come to the developers side with arguments like “they do the best they can” or “this is core limitations” or “this is company policy to make bad software” or “this is OpenGL” or “place here you exuse”. In that case developer feels community support and continue ignore pitfalls.My luck this happened on trial period.
Goodbye and be happy with this software.P.S.: Why this post is here?
I am a software developer by my first job. And as software developer i always want to know why my users left my products and what they dislike, what make them angry.
Do as you want to be done with you.There are a lot of small features which make SketchUp stand out of other 3D sketching tools. But there are a lot of strange UI design and patterns which prevent me to purchase full product. To be purchased, software should not stuck on launch at last. SketchUp failed in that, for now.

Evening
So this has happened to me a couple of times now.
I’ll be completing a task in a component and all of a sudden all of the geometry will shoot off in a weird direction. The even weirder thing is - If I click undo it un-does the tasks before it and not the strange geometry distort.
Is there a fix to this - having to re-draw whenever this happens.

I do a lot of push pulling, usually starting with 2d faces.
Sometimes i pull a face upward, then want to push it back downward to make it 2D (flat) again… Then sketchup deletes the original face and bounding edges.
How can I ask it to stop doing that?
Thanks

you should watch this video.
SimLab Soft VR technologies will allow users to take advantage of the amazing power of VR.
Horatec from Germany created #SketchUp model of a kitchen, in just 3 hours using #SimLab Composer one person created this interactive VR scene.Service still available here.

I just finished drawing a complex mechanical device and as I was using the ORBIT tool and scrolling to zoom in and out, the project became so small I can no longer find it on the screen!!!
Is there any way I can pin point where it is and zoom in on it?
Thanks,

Here is what should be a simple task, but is giving me trouble. I created a square and used push/pull to give it some dimension. Then I created 3 arcs, one on each of 3 faces. When I deleted the outside lines from the arcs, not face was created, nor can I find a way to get the face created. Any ideas? Thanks!

When I paint a component, the color or material does not display on the model. It only works if I edit the components faces individually…
The strange thing is that the Entity Info shows that the component is for example “red”, but it doesn’t show red of the model itself…
What am I doing wrong? Is it a display issue? I imported the model from Revit, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem with the import itself, because if I build a new component from scratch, the same problem occurs.test.skp (274.3 KB)
