John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

I don't know where to put this topic so I throught I would throw it in the wombat hole and see what happens???

I have a few bugs on my Mac to do with this forum

1. Whenever I goto reply to a thread I get redirected to the Index. I then have to find the thread again (which sometimes I've completly forgoten what thread I was reading)

2. I've tried to load my Avatar about 6 times. I'm getting a question mark where it should be. Is everyone else seeing a question mark or is it just me?

This last bug is about sketchup. When I have been working on sketchup for a while I start to get the pointer tracing a permeant, strobing type of pixilated line/pattern where ever it goes. It makes a very pretty patter and as soon as I zoom in or out it disappears but it is very hard to use sketchup once this starts happening. If I close the program and open it it still does it. I'll post a sketchup file and see if any of you guys get the same thing. Try and draw a line and you will see what I mean??? Maybe???

Can't attach the file. It is too big. Maybe that is why it has a bug. Too much stuff on my sketchup. Maybe because it is a trial version?????

Any sketchup experts out there?
Any computer experts out there?

Aloha,

Sorry to hear about those issues. I'm not a Mac user yet, but perhaps a PM to John, Knightfly, Keith and/or Aaron might prove fruitful.

As far as Sketchup, I've been running the free version for a couple of years now with no problems. Perhaps you could post a 2D image (700 pixels wide, please) of what you're describing. I think I understand what you're saying but need to be sure. They also have a lot of help at their website.

Aloha

Can't seem to show you what I,m talking about.

I draw the pixels all over the image and as soon as I export it to 2D they all disappear.

No really aunty bertha, I saw a wobmbal in the back yard. honestly, it was there

I'll try uninstalling my SketchUp and reinstalling?

Aloha

Does it look like this? ------------------------------------------------------------

G'day,

Kind of. ----------

It looks more like --- --

Its like a wake left by the drawing tool, ohh, and its colored, different colors.

I think it maybe because of the way I'm putting components in my sketchup? I don't know how to put a new component in the component window so I just cut and paste them from another file and after a few times doing that....Bam!!! the wired little trail starts appearing out of the tip of the drawing tool.

Thanks Kendale.

PS - I'm really impressed by your craftsmanship. I have a goal to build a cloud as good as yours. No....better

Well....It is not the way I'm pasting components into SketchUp.

I just did a design and did not import one component and it eventually still did the funny colored dotted wake following after the pointer.

I'm still getting redirected back to the index when I post too.

Can anyone see my Avatar???

I have that issue sometimes, on a pc, usually I log in, making certain my browser is informed to keep me logged in and it goes away.

Log me on automatically each visit:

good luck

Aloha,

I've copied & pasted from several different components many, many times and haven't experienced what you're describing...yet.

No avatar to be seen on this end.

Aloha

the free sketchup started doing the same thing on my macbook..worked fine for awhile then went to the same wacky stuff you're describing.

Anyone know a fix for this yet?
