Running SU6 with Vista requires a lot more system goodies , they recomend 2gig ram compared to 1.2 for running with windows XP

Vista suxes anyway i hear

Really?!? that's pathetic.

areks, did you get that bug splat error box? if not it's the inbuilt error reporting tool in sketchup, now we all know the windows one is a joke, but the sketchup one seems a lot more helpful, you can describe the problems you have and send your email address so they can respond to you personally (I think)

that said I've never used it myself.

I'll just derail your thread to post my own problem

in SU5 whenever I click on a surface, it would highlight (turn a shade of blue) so I know what surface is selected. In SU6 it does this for the first few clicks, then suddenly stops highlighting and I'm left guessing as to which surfaces I have selected. Is there a fix for this?

also,to answer your PM question,it probably measuring in inches(or MM). try putting in A Car (under Components). if its totaly outta scale,it just means it not on a realistic Scale. I wouldnt worry about it for now,unless you plan o using alotta Components for detail.
