Using MAC for Sketchup

Hi Colin, did you have the opportunity to test this on your new iMac ? Did you solve it ? Thank you.

I tried on my M1 Max MacBook Pro, and mirroring to an external monitor makes the dimensions text show upside-down. Running only on the internal monitor shows the text correctly.

As SketchUp isn’t re-rendering the scene when connecting another monitor, it seems like it’s the way the Mac is displaying text elements. I am running macOS 13, it looks like Apple didn’t fix the problem on their side. I did report the problem months ago.

Incidentally, 2017 does not stay open for very long on my M1 Max machine. That might be more of a problem than the inverted text.

Something else I tested, connecting a second monitor, not mirrored, show the text correctly on both monitors.

iMac on its own screen shows the text correctly.

Thank you VERY much Colin ! I never tought about testing without the external monitor, and yes it works on my macbook’s screen :-)))

And yes, it works as well if I don’t mirror. Thank you for your help, problem almost solved for me !

Another trick:

If you start your drawing on the macbook screen and then drag it to the external, it works as well :slight_smile:
