Track announcement: SketchUp for Landscape and Site Design

Can you give me an example of where you’re struggling or what is not up to date? There will always be version changes but the key principles and tools are still the same. For example, add location has added Bing imagery as an option in latest version, but the idea of geo-locating your model and importing terrain and aerial image is the same. Sandbox hasn’t changed. The extensions recommended are all still active and supported.

The more, specifically, I know about what is confusing the better I can help. Cheers.

Eric
Thanks for the quick response. As it turns out as I discovered the afternoon while working on the examples in the turorial I think the problem may be that my mouse stops working as it should and I can’t execute the commands. SketchUp slows down and then freezes and becomes completely unresponsive to the mouse and I end up having to Force Quit SketchUp. I think this must be an operating system failure.

Thanks anyway!
Tim

Me gustaría poder seguir este curso, pero los videos estan en ingles. ¿hay alguna posibilidad de poder verlos con subtitulos en castellano o con audio en castellano?

Algunos de nuestros videos tienen subtítulos, desafortunadamente, aún no hemos completado los subtítulos para el curso de paisaje. Lo lamento.

Gracias por la pronta respuesta.

Buscare los que tienen subtítulos, he intentare seguir los que están en ingles.

Gracias de nuevo.

Question -how do I restart the course?

You can choose any lesson you’d like, there are no restrictions on access to the courses. Just start from the beginning

Hi there, I am also having trouble accessing the course. The enrolled courses show on my dashboard, & when I enter the course with “resume course” or “replay course”, the lessons appear on the left hand side, but no videos load or play, it’s just a blank center screen. Thank you for your help!


So here, where you should see the video, you get nothing? Is this true just for this course, or do the videos work on some of the other courses?

If you can’t see any videos, I’m sorry, and it’s the most unsatisfying answer, but it means something on your browser is preventing the playback. Try a different browser, try disabling browser extensions you might have, but I’ve checked and everything on the site is working as it should be.

Thanks TysonK, Correct, it is blank where the video should show up and play. The menu on the left is fine. I checked on different courses, and it is the same problem. It’s odd since it worked a month ago with no problems. I will try a different browser. Cheers.

Changing the browser worked! Thank you very much & have a nice day!

Hi, anyone else having problem with the 5. CAD cleanup & Making Faces video?

At 3:05 it turns black and the sound disappears. At 4:00 the movie is shown again but without sound. All the other movies are working perfectly fine.

Thanks for bringing this up, I’m seeing the same thing. Looking into it.

Ah, I see what we’ve done. The video is finished, that is the fade to black and the extra area is just an editing error, but you aren’t missing out on any information. Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll look into fixing it…

Fixed.

Hey Eric I’m getting a notification hat the course is not available (404 error) either when clicking the link above, or when using the menu while logged in and attempting to Enrol)

Is the course still online?

Hi @AK_SAM - It’s currently running on my end. Have you tried different web browsers? Let me know if the problem persists and I’ll see if there’s anything else we can do to help get you going.

Hi,
I am currently running “Creating a base model / 5. CAD Cleanup & Making Faces”. I do everthing step by step according to the instructions but still don’t get all the faces seperated from one another. Se picture, thats all I get.
I have tried several times, started over again and again but without succes. What do I miss out?
Thanks!

Tried to add the file but I am not able to compromize it to 16MG without deleting geometri.

Unfortunately I wont be able to continue with the course without getting this right.

I’m getting a 404 error (Page does not exist) on both Chrome and Edge.
The link in the post above is this URL and generates the 404 error:

https://learn.sketchup.com/track/sketchup-landscape-site-design

Then I found this link by using Google:

https://learn.sketchup.com/courses/sketchup-landscape-site-design

And it works :smiley:

Ok good you found the issues. We originally set up our own hosting platform for Campus…using the term ‘Tracks’. We’ve since migrated to a new hosting platform that uses ‘Courses’ - hence the 404. I’ll have Tyson update the link in this thread :wink:

Thanks for pointing that out, it should be fixed now
