Btw, is it for anything good now?

vort3@lemmy.ml on 28 Sep 2024 14:58 next collapse

That one misaligned arrow bugs me…

lnxtx@feddit.nl on 28 Sep 2024 15:38 collapse

Where?

KrapKake@lemmy.world on 29 Sep 2024 00:29 next collapse

Probably the one that points to the ram stats in the terminal, under hardware info.

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 29 Sep 2024 21:48 collapse

Lol I didn’t notice that, now it’s also buging me, thanks a lot

Onihikage@beehaw.org on 30 Sep 2024 00:32 collapse

Up in the Hardware Information section of hyfetch, on the left.

Man I used to do SketchUp all the time in middle/high school, so nostalgic.

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 28 Sep 2024 15:17 collapse

I still use it from time to time for 3d printing

Prunebutt@slrpnk.net on 28 Sep 2024 15:17 next collapse

Not familiar with Sketchup. is it analternative to sweethome3d?

IllNess@infosec.pub on 28 Sep 2024 15:54 collapse

sweethome3d is specifically made for interior design.

You can make what ever you want in SketchUp.

geoma@lemmy.ml on 28 Sep 2024 15:27 next collapse

Its working completely offline? You might want to add it here appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applica…

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 28 Sep 2024 16:50 collapse

Yes it’s working completely offline you can’t even access the werehouse, I’m not sure if they allow it on there because you need a pirated version of SU to work, here is my rough instruction

theshatterstone54@feddit.uk on 28 Sep 2024 18:08 collapse

In terms of pirated versions, has anyone managed to get more modern versions of Office or Photoshop working from pirated versions? I’ve been quite curious about it for a while.

noughtnaut@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 2024 15:33 next collapse

Good for you! Seriously!

For the rest of us, a few notes on how you accomplished this would be sha-weet! I think sketch up is the most approachable 3d program, but all my “post Windows” attempts have resulted in crashes and freezes. 😥

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 28 Sep 2024 16:44 collapse

you have to keep in mind that you can’t even install SU24 with Wine, so a portable version is a must which mean sail the high seas is the only way to obtain it (appnee dot com)

  • here is how I did it in order (you need a portable SketchUP2024 and latest version of visual c++ 64bit and 32bit)
  • 1, install Lutris (not sure if it work with Bottles or plain wine but this is the only way I know works)
  • 2, install Wine normally (sudo pacman -S wine) it should come with system 9.17 or higher
  • 3, open Lutris and let it download dependencies
  • 4, create a new “game” entry inside Lutris set Runner to system 9.17 and executable location to visual c++ and install it normally
  • 5, if you try to run SU now (change location from visual c++ to SketchUP exe) it will crash to fix that you need to install a windows component inside winetrick (by click on the glass wine icon on the bottom>winetrick>Select the default wineprefix>install a Windows DLL or component>ucrtbase2019)
  • 6, now you should be able to run it but you might see a black screen, to fix that you just have to restart the app a few time then you should be able to click on the check box and it take you to the home screen, it will crash the first time you open a template/model then you can just reopen it and can create a template just like normal
  • 7, you’re Golden

what do you mean with “set executable location to visual c++” ?

geoma@lemmy.ml on 16 Oct 2024 12:07 next collapse

couldn’t make it work

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 28 Oct 2024 05:01 collapse

It’s excitable inside lutris “game” configuration menu

Twitches@lemm.ee on 28 Sep 2024 16:57 next collapse

What is your task bar on top, I like that?

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 28 Sep 2024 17:10 collapse

It’s KDE panel+application title widget

Twitches@lemm.ee on 28 Sep 2024 18:36 next collapse

Oh nice, thank you

[deleted] on 29 Sep 2024 16:55 collapse

.

ColdWater@lemmy.ca on 29 Sep 2024 21:44 collapse

Yeah it’s just plain KDE panel, for the buttons I use “application title bar” from KDE widget store that’s all I used for the panel customization

ikidd@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 2024 18:59 next collapse

Every place I click to download the 2024 Sketchup portable sketches me right the fuck out.

Ziglin@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 2024 21:29 collapse

I have that feeling with almost every proprietary binary from a website nowadays.

delirious_owl@discuss.online on 29 Sep 2024 06:44 collapse

Fortunately we have a Foss alternative for almost everything

elucubra@sopuli.xyz on 29 Sep 2024 10:17 collapse

Do you know of a sketchup alternative

delirious_owl@discuss.online on 29 Sep 2024 15:26 collapse

I use FreeCAD

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 29 Sep 2024 22:22 collapse

freecad is great but nowhere near as easy and intuitive as sketchup, sadly

riodoro1@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 2024 20:50 next collapse

I literally used sketchup today for the first time since moving to fusion 2 years ago. Had to modify a really old model. It was dreadful compared to fusion and sketchup crashed once when merging edges but surprisingly i still knew how to do what I wanted

voracread@lemmy.world on 29 Sep 2024 19:03 collapse

What is fusion here?

riodoro1@lemmy.world on 29 Sep 2024 22:01 collapse

Autodesks hell in the cloud called fusion 360.

A real* CAD which is free for hobbyists**.

*If you use sketchup long enough, you know I’m right.

**With increasing restrictions and only win/mac compatibility.

leopold@lemmy.kde.social on 29 Sep 2024 18:49 collapse

Sketchup has always worked pretty well with Wine. It’s always just been installing a couple of things with winetricks (like vc runtimes) and then it usually works fine.
