This is a confirmed bug that showed up in SU 7.1, but was not present in 7.0. If you have overlapping components, and are editing one of them, you cannot scribe to the line where they intersect. The inference engine will not find that intersection. I use this trick all the time, so I had to back off to version 7.0. It's really too bad, as 7.1 was a lot faster, and you'll notice the slowdown if you back down to 7.0. They promise to fix it in the next release. You can get the old version here. Make sure you uninstall 7.1 first. CB.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm not using SketchUp yet but am in the process of getting a new workstation (or maybe a 'throw away PC') that can run it. I wish they were a bit more verbose in that help section...
A statement like, "At this time, SketchUp doesn't support operation in a VMWare environment.", could really mean just about anything. I'm guessing it means 'we haven't taken the time to find out how or if it works'.

Why VMWare? Why not run it native on the MAC? CB.

I think he's running a Linux box, or some non giganto corporation OS.

I've heard of folks being successful running SU on WINE on Linux machines.

Thanks CB for confirming that bug and helping me feel a bit less crazy, I also use the overlap to scribe stuff and now it is a lot slower.... must try throwing in the shift key to see what happens.

The shift key trick is not working for me, Mike. How are you doing it, exactly? CB.

My old MAC LC isn't going to cut it when it comes to SketchUp it does have a nice (greyscale) Raster Ops layout monitor so if it did I could design windmills and towers. MAC system 7.5 and Win98se (final beta) are about as far as I really went with the mainstream desktop OSes. Somewhere I have an OEM copy of win2k pro server that never got installed... I've been doing a little research and in general it looks like people are having better results w/SketchUp on a vmware virtual PC than under wine. Of course there are a few hurdles and pitfalls to get it loaded properly. I've been B'day shopping at thinkmate for a new workstation, it's a truly dangerous occupation. First system I configured came in well over $5k Dual Quads Baby!!!
