Win 7 prob. : preview SketchUp files

Post by WardNL » Thu Dec 03, 2009 6:48 pm

Hi guys,

I've got a stupid problem; I would like to have a small preview of a SketchUp file. Like regular .JPGs etc. I'd like to know what SketchUP file I'm looking at!
Is this a map option or what?

Hi Ward,

If you are using a 64 bit version, it is a SU bug. There are some folks at SCF who are trying to find some solution here (started with Vista I think)

Thanks again for your help and quick reply Csaba.
Got 64 bit so I'm screwed I think...

I'll take a look at the SketchUcation thread, thank.

Very annoying, especially when I'm viewing Pete's plant collection!
I just get the names, dunno what they look like! ;)

There is a work around, if you have SU6 installed then save all your components as SU6 models (my plant collection is SU6) and funny enough Vue 7 will see them and the thumbs will be viewable.

With Ifranview viewer and Xnview viewer, you can view the thumbnails. Hope this helps

With best regards
