I was a member of the old forum but seldom participated there. When I tried to register here, I was told that I should introduce myself by answering a profile questionnaire; however I could not get the page to load so that I could enter the information. Obviously, there are many things I don’t know about the new forum environment - and about SketchUp. If someone could point me to the “introduce yourself” url, I’ll provide the info and keep on pluggin’. Also, I have some questions but don’t know how or where to post them. Thanks, rh ---

> [@rabbithutch](#): > > Also, I have some questions but don’t know how or where to post them. This forum engine puts all posts into a database and displays them in category listing. So if you post in the wrong category (it only assigns that category as a property of the post or thread,) … and this can be easily changed by Admins and Sages so that your post displays in the correct category. Sometimes it is easier to approach a question posting task from the category listing page. From there choose a category, and perhaps then a sub-category, etc. Notice that the default “landing” page is the posting list filtered by “ **Latest** ” . Choose the “ **Categories** ” filter next to it (on the top row.) Once you become familiar with the filtering lists, you can use the category filter downdown on the top row as well as tags. Or click on any category link in the category column of posting lists. If you find yourself nested down in some sub-category, the top row changes to display a “breadcrumb bar” of clickable categories, ie: “toplevel category” \> “sub-catgeory” \> tags ---

Do not click on the Measurments box. After clicking the start point, and moving the mosue to indicate direction, just type the dimensions. The Measurements box is already active. ---

Hi All, I’m Ray (Reto)Marti and new to Sketch up pro. Slowly learning about the new options tricks and tools that are now available to me. I’ve used sketch up for a couple of years before buying the pro version. I’m looking forward to learn more about the relevant topics that are now an option to me from you experienced people in the field. First of, I’m curious if Sketch up Pro offers an interior lighting option tool? Any one? cheers Ray ---
