Hi,
Since the upgrad to SU 2024 text is disappearing as soon I push enter. First I thougt it’s a problem of the model. Then I tried a new model from scratch using a simple rectangel. The textbox appears with the area information and even the arrow is shown. But after pushing enter or clicking next to it it disappears.
Intrestingly text made by SU 2023 are shown but as soon as I’m editing again same thing.
If sombody know whats going on here I would be happy.
Thanks in advance for some advice.
Matthias
Also have the same problem. Would appreciate some direction on this.
We need more information. What kind of text are you talking about? What tool are you using? Is this 3D text or labels or the tooltips or the VCB info? Take a screenshot of the text you are asking about?
Decided to apply myself and just figured it out. I think this must be a new glitch or something with SU24 as I know from years of habit when using the text leader/text box that when I was done typing I would just go and select the next tool and continue working, whereas now you have to click outside the work area with the text leader tool in order to save it. I have attached a video link with me trying a few different things. It appears that clicking any of the orbit tools will not delete the leader but any other tool will. I am also having an issue with measurements disappearing where I never had that issue in versions previous to SU23. (I currently have SU24. Need to update my profile.)

I see what you mean. I think a couple of things are happening here, possibly unrelated. The leader text not completing may be a windows only problem? I can’t say for sure as I’m unable to recreate it on my Mac, starting a label and changing tools mid operation does not erase the leader to text but leaves it complete for me. How far is your model from the origin? Can you upload your model for us to test?
The disappearing dimensions appear to be a problem with your dimension text set to be aligned with the dimension line. This happens with all dimension set like this when you orbit to be viewing them on end as they have essentially 0 thickness, although your disappear at more obtuse angles of viewing than I have seen, and the longitudinal dim of the bench is behaving oddly, which might be due to your integrated graphics card. Again, upload your model so I can have a look on my end what’s going on. You could try Model Info > Dimensions> Dimension > Align to screen to see if that helps. Also, Sketchup > Preferences > Graphics > Use Classic Graphics engine might be a better fit for your graphics card, hit the Graphics Engine Details button to see if there are any warnings on your card
I’ll give that a try. I appreciate the prompt help. Thanks
