I am having issues seeing the leader text and dimension text properly. I tried skimming the forum, but can’t seem to find any issues similar to mine.
I assume its to do with the settings of my graphics card. I have a Lenovo W530 with a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA Quadro K1000M display adapters. I opened up the NVIDIA control panel and it looks like sketchup is defaulted to use that one.
Please reply if more information is needed.
Unfortunately, Dan, that did not help my problem. Like I said, I think it’s a graphics card problem. Just not sure how to set the graphics card to not display the text inside the model like that.
The NVIDIA update according to the control panel is up to date (version 354.13). I’ve also played around with the OpenGL settings. That is not helping. Still have the same problem that is showing up in the pictures.
Can you post a model showing these problematic dimensions? Maybe the cube in your screenshot? Looking at that would make it easier to see if the problem is with your dimension settings, or maybe a font…
Actually, your graphics driver is not the newest one. The latest Quadro driver is version 362.13, released on the 19th of last month (looked it up from the Nvidia website). Lenovo-supplied drivers are often much older and do not get updeted for “legacy” systems. At work I have a W520 (the previous model to yours) with the same GC and I have always used with it drivers directly from Nvidia without problems. I am not at it now so I cannot try to reproduce what you are seeing.
Yeah, its weird. I talked with Sketchup tech support and they pointed me here. Don’t know what else to try. Thanks for everyone’s help. If there is something anyone recommends trying in relation to settings/configuration… let me know.
And if it shows the Intel HD… chip, you should open the Nvidia control panel, go to its 3D application settings, and set SketchUp to use your Nvidia card instead of “Automatic selection”.
I am not at work so the image displays a GeForce control panel. The Quadro panel is a bit different, the option might read “OpenGL-rendering processor” or something like that.
