    SketchUp model based on Dave's demo

    Here's a zipped version of the armoire which I drew in SketchUp based on this thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=43655

    All I get is computer stuff, no download of file. Am I the only one?
    Thanks,

    Marion, the zip file downloads correctly for me and the SKP file inside opens fine in SketchUp. You do have to have SketchUp on your computer to be able to view the file.

    Nope, I re-booted and I get the same stuff. I have a zip program, and I have the goggle sketch-up.
    I will try other computer and see what happens.
    Thanks,

    Marion, I'm using Firefox and when I click on the file name I get a bunch of gobbledygook too.

    What works for me is to right click on it and ask it to "Save Link As . . ." then tell it I want it to be named something.zip (where "something" is whatever name you choose), then it downloads to my PC and I can open the zip and see the file inside.

    I'm not sure why it is so complicated.

    John & Marion... I too have issues with saving or viewing the Zips in Firefox 2.x ... not sure why yet, but when I do a save link -- it defaults to PHP which means when you click on it .. firefox assumes it's web page and opens it. When I override the file name to a zip, it's fine. Not sure why this is happening but I will let everyone know if I find out. Or if anyone else has fixed this I would glad to know.

    Yes, I use Firefox. I was able to open file. The armoire looks like it will be beautiful. I am still taking little begining steps with sketchup so all of the help I've gotten here has been great.

    Thanks,
    Marion

    John:

    When I click on your cabinet plans, I get the following message. I've tried several methods, but it always gives me this same result.

    Do I need special permission to download this kind of stuff? Any help would be appreciated!

    Quesne Ouaques, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
