Gee Tom, That's being a bit negative. But if you have been having trouble with the latest update.well just put it all aside and fix your gaze on something that just everyone of us has been hanging out for.Its.its the Style Builder!!!! er.its beta, but that's OK.every thing Google puts out is beta.yeah and it's free as well There are some negative people out there who would say that we have enough styles already and that they rarely use what there are anyway.but don't listen to them.this is a major breakthrough!and hopefully the guy who was busy doing this can now be swung back to helping putting out the next service release.which maybe wont suck quite as much as this time!.
OpenType fonts like Myriad Pro and Adobe Garamond? I have Adobe CS3 Premium and SketchUp Pro 6.4.112 installed. The Adobe OpenType fonts show up.
A forced upgrade that doesn't even have the correct release notes on the site it directs you to is inexcusable. It means you MUST upgrade if you want to use SketchUp Pro 6 AND be connected to the internet. I suspect that Google doesn't have any hidden motives in doing this - it's some inept dork must have written some code wrong. BUT 'they' have responsibilty for their products and services. This level of ineptitude is pretty worrying. Google as a company expect us to trust them with our potentially sensitive personal data, BUT they can't get a simple upgrade tool right - when will it come out that something far worse has happened. This has echoes of the UK's Tax Dept losing unencrypted CDs 'in the post' that contained the names, addresses, bank account details etc of almost half the UK's population - including millions of vulnerable children - and they bang on indentity theft, ID-cards to 'protect' us from the terrorists, and about their 'data protection act' laws etc, BUT they can't keep our details safe by using basic common sense!
Google MUST buck up OR loose our confidence completely - it's already dented! This is a horrible tactic from Google. I will CHOOSE when i update my sotware. I like to ensure it is stable first and often leave it to hear feedback from other users (on all software not just SU) I've sat here this morning trying despirately to find out how to work around this and have subsequently resorted to working offline to get my work done. The lack of preparation highlighted by others here also shows a complete lack of understanding of how to respect your users. VERY poor from somebody like Google. Shocking move and one that @last would never have agreed to.
Hi Guys, we're looking into the problem. The upgrade was/is intended to be a choice just like all earlier upgrades. We will get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. We still are the AtLast guys, we still deeply care about you and your user experience, and consider how any/every change affects you. Please do not take a problem with the updater as any indication of our dedication to you as Google. Unforeseen problems do occur, and we will figure this out as soon as we can.
Thanks for your patience! Cheers, - CraigD. Not cool Google! Now that my heart is started again.
Came in this weekend to finish a presentation for monday AM. The forced download was a new one, only the first 2 times i tried to run it i only had options to repair modify or remove sketchup. Ran the repair option and still had the forced update when i restarted. Freaked out at that point and uninstalled sketchup and eventally rolled back windows a few days. Still no love.
Third time was the charm. Thank goodness for this forum. I was about to haul our IT guy out of bed. Stu, harsh.yes, absolutely (I was pissed! First forced suddenly to download an update at bedtime so I could add the finishing touch to the rendering I was working on.then having the program be so pitifully unresponsive and, yes, cruel.) Negative.no, just truthful.I think.
(And yes, I'm excited about the sketchy edge creator, as I have lately been delighted with what they add to my DWC's.but the program will have to start performing better before I get into it.) Okay, the technical stuff: First, my little laptop is no wienie.128meg ATI Radeon Mobility, 1.6gig Pentium M, 2gigs ram. The model is huge.22meg, 300,000 faces, 250 components, etc. In SU5, changing display settings takes 1-3sec per change (but as you would expect the program does catch up even though I hit several buttons before waiting). In SU6, the delay has been running 3-5sec per display change (did another view of the same unchanged model just a couple of days ago, so fresh in my mind), and was going to the white arrow before I could hit all the buttons.though nothing I was able to activate was lost). Using the update, SU6m4, all the wait times were doubled, button pushed and showing depressed made no change to the display, the export dialog stopped going away even after I had the black arrow, and I couldn't get the Window's Image Viewer to overtake the screen (to see if I actually did get my export) without minimizing SU.the second time I tried this the program locked.
(All of the above problems were recreated after my restart.but I was quite 'determined' by 1AM and made it thru my desired exports the third time.) It has been my experience that SU6 is a fuller featured program than hasn't the functionality and stability of SU5.so I continue to use 5 every day, and 6 only when I absolutely have to have one of those new features. I am now more than wondering if there are rubies out there for SU5 that can do the cool extra stuff I want at times.? Tom, I'm glad someone is using the style builder. The point I was making is that it would be nice if Google directed their obviously limited resources to getting SU6 right rather than playing around on the periphery. It's all rather a pity but there seems to be a growing consensus that Google is doing a fine job of stuffing SU and that people are frantically looking around for an alternative. The obsessive, fanatically loyal user base that used to surround SketchUp, seems to me, to be evaporating fast.people are frantically looking around for an alternative. Yes but getting to this point, and in behalf of my health I´m assuming not to investigate any more, accept the end point of this software, forget about its development and work with its 4th version.
Google and his employees here are taking us as fools. How can it be said that.We still are the AtLast guys, we still deeply care about you and your user experience, and consider how any/every change affects you.
Who on earth in this community asked for the style builder? There were lots of things asked before without response or care for the users. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Hey Everyone, You think you're upset you should see it from our side. This is an unintentional error, we never in a million years would force you to upgrade.
This product is yours not our, upgrade or don't upgrade that is your choice. It was a process error that is the long and short of it. I'd be upset too if I was forced to upgrade software I used on a daily bases. When I get the FireFox update notices it's my choice not theirs. It is merely a suggestion on their behalf just like it is with us. So here's the deal; this page, leading to this page after clicking on the release notes link is wrong. The information on these pages are correct: Win= and Mac= I'm sorry for your pain and suffering you have endured over the last day.
Please know we meant no disservice or disrespect. I was merely a mistake on our behalf. The good news is the problem has been fixed. So upgrade or don't upgrade that's up to you.
M4 is geared towards supporting Leopard and AutoCAD DWG 2007 import/export. If I had a magic time eraser I'd use it now and erase time back to at least the middle of last week to make sure this problem didn't happen. Rest assure we will work on trying to guarantee this never happens again. If you have further comments about this please post them and voice your opinion. Remember I make my living from SketchUp too.
Note The current (March 08) installer is in reality 4 installers in one and a surprise package. To get a truely silent install (no windows) you need to unpack. GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe - disk1 setup.exe & some data.cab's 2.
Setup.exe - Folder with.ta da.GoogleToolbarInstallerEN.exe & SketchUpInstaller.exe 3. SketchUpInstaller.exe - Disk1 Setup.exe With this last setup.exe you need to (/r) record a response file. The final command is as described '%sketchup% setup.exe' /s /SMS /f1'%sketchup% setup.iss' /f2'%temp% sketchupsetup.log'. Note Google Sketchup doesn't come in an MSI file so I used WinInstall LE to repackage the EXE file. Then I created a new MSI file with the server.dat (which includes the location of the license file on the server). I also created two registry entries to remove the 'learning center' and the 'instructor' so they don't show on start up: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Google SketchUp6 SnappyInstructor Show REGDWORD = 0 0 = dont show 1 = show HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Google SketchUp6 Google SketchUp TOTD ShowOnStartUp REGSZ = 'false'.
Note THIS IS FOR THE FREE VERSION If you don't want to repackage - you can deploy the setup executable. Create a setup.iss file. Copy the installation and the iss file to a network share. ' networkshare xpsoft Google Google Sketchup 6.0' Deploy with the following code. ' networkshare xpsoft Google Google SketchUp 6.0 GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe' /s /f1' networkshare xpsoft Google Google SketchUp 6.0 setup.iss' rem Icon Cleanup del 'c: documents and settings all users desktop Google Sketchup.lnk' /F /Q del 'C: Documents and Settings All Users Start Menu Programs Google SketchUp 6 Uninstall or Repair.lnk' /F /Q If you own a license for SketchUp Pro - do the same setup as above. License a test machine.
