trust me, I teachĮdit : if, however, you maintain her on a mac… does the problem happen only with trebuchet ? other too ? can you show us screenshots of the pc/mac difference ?įonts, like softwares, have different versions. Sell the mac, buy a PC, and with the extra money, buy icecream. Training will be simpler for you, as well as interoperability. So yeah, if she had been a competent SU on mac user, she could have remained on a mac, but from what you describe, I would recommend putting her on a PC. It’s easier, same machines, same language, same tools, no weird thing like you describe. I have a client whose firm is on PC, when I meet them, I bring the PC. This summer I’ll work on a furniture project for a school, I’m giving a hand, I know they all have macs, so I’ll bring the mac mini and a screen. but whenever I have to work in a team on a project, I’ll use the same as them. I work on both, with a preference for my mac, muscle memory and all. Teach her the basics of windows, teach her your workflow on a PC.Įdit 3 : I realise the tone of my initial message was sharp, I just argued with an idiot. Īnd you’re already sold on the idea to not use SU for mac anymore. it’ll solve your problems, and lower your stress level. Any time a text box or the text itself is edited while on pc, we get a font subsitution box pop up which recommends Verdana instead of Trebuchet (which is obviously already installed). The file will open with no errors on the windows version and all the text looks ok but not perfect. It’s as soon as anyone tries to follow behind her on a PC. When our new user opens the file on mac, there is no problem. We have drawings going back years that use the Trebuchet MS font. I’ve also worked as an audio engineer and greatly prefer mac for that and most other tasks. That’s the end of my rant about the abysmal port to mac. Fix it yourself like adobe, autodesk, blender, open office, librecad, reaper, gimp, inkscape, corel, avid, steam, PureRef, Firefox, Krita, ClipStudio, Presonus, Ableton, and Afinity did. The mac supports none of the cool toolbar features windows has. ![]() It will only take one year max and everyone will be happy afterwards. If free software like Blender and LibreOffice can get the interface the same all platforms, sketchup is just being lazy. We’re trying to show her how fun and freeing it can be to use sketchup and layout, as opposed to what all the other software on the market has to offer, but instead, she just sees us getting frustrated at the poorly designed interface and nonsensical shortcut keys. ![]() You take a piece of software that’s all about gestures and muscle memory and make it completely different on a different platform. ![]() How would you like the fonts, colorpicker, and document settings to be completely different interfaces? How would you like all of the keyboard shortcuts to be completely different with no consistency at all? Sometimes, you press the option key instead of the CTRL shortcut. How would you like to be limited to a handful of icons in the single row toolbar? Personally, on my PC I have 4 rows of icons. We spent $3k on a horrible user experience. In case you haven’t tried switching to mac, don’t just don’t. We, based on Trimble’s lack of transparency on the major differences between mac and PC versions, decided it was best that we buy her a mac and install the mac version. She has always used mac, but never sketchup.
