A couplee of weeks ago the orbit tool stop working with the middle button on my mouse in windows. It works sometimes now. I have been asking for a way to make item transparent (xray in previous versions). No answers or help on that. Today after not usiing the software for a couple of weeks I can no longer rename a group. I paid for this version so that I might have the outliner. An outline with group, group, group… is useless. Which group is this?
As a fairly long time user and software developer I maust say that I am very disappointed in your lackk of attention to detail. You took the old docuementatioin and called it good enough. This version has a very different user interface. If the software where free I would say good enough but it is not free. I am not a beta tester. If you release a version that is not tested that makees me an alpha tester. Get your act together and stop press “deploy” at the end of the day and hoping for the best. It doesn’t work that way. I have terrible tremors and when I have to spend an hour trying to figure out somethiing it waste my time and more importantly it PISSES me off. I started learning C in 1984. There was no internet only books. No searchh engines, only indicies. I am liing on diablity as though I am going to take hard look befor e I pay for another year of something you are developing as a user tested piece of ■■■■.

P.S. Don’t reply to me with “We’re working on it”. The occasional bug is one thing. This is just wrong the way you are dealiing with the problems. Thr
When creating groups you’ll need to name them each by yourself. If not, they get no name and you see them as “group” in the ‘Outliner’ component and group tree structure.
I could have said the same to you, and stop complaining about things that aren’t true
First, search fo X-ray in Shop version only gives the description. There is no “See more results” since there is only the one.
Secondly, I have my act together. Everything I stated is true and I am not complaining. I pay for the version so I should get at least some bit of support. All of the help is geared towards the Desktop version. Since you’re so familar with the help please tell me how it’s done rather than telling me to search for it.
And SketchUp shop has outliner which allows you to see group, group, group, … group. Or a hierarchy with sensible named groups and components. That is entirely up to you when you create them or later when you (re-)name) them through ‘Entity Info’. See:
If you prefer a more stable version you can still download SketchUp 2017 Make. It also has a more conventional user interface with should some distractions.
On the question of naming groups, it’s true that within the outliner area you can’t rename a group, but just above there is the entity info, and you can rename the selected group. Its name then updates in the outline view.
If the UI required that you give a group a name when you create it, the same people who complain that the create component dialog slows them down would rise in rebellion. The outliner could presumably show the auto-generated sequential names (group#1, group#2, etc.) but that would hardly be an improvement on group, group, etc. Perhaps the inference engine should be extended to guess what you meant each group to be
To me this is largely what the difference is. A component is a specific named objects, like a product you can go and buy, while a group is a quite arbitrary collection of things thay may or may not have something in common. For instance my desk and my chair are components as they are items I’ve bought, while the two of them together is a group so I can move them around efficiently in my model.
Or make. It wouldn’t make sense to use groups for the parts of a project if you need to know what they are later on. Every part in this model is a component.
Bluetooth.connect(:headphones).read_mind do |thoughts|
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
entities.add_desired_geometry(
Sketchup.perceive(thoughts)
)
end
Results in an exception …
# Error: #<NetworkError: `thoughts` cannot coerced into proper data stream.>
