Trimble, and Sketchup...

[Cozzer]

Exasperation.
That's one word for it. I can think of (many) others, but I suppose this is a family forum, so....
No matter how I try, I can't get Trimble to accept that I actually know my own email address and am perfectly able to think of a password following their rules.
But no. Apparently even my email address is incorrect, even after only inserting the first three characters....I've been down the road of "forgotten password" and inserting a 6-digit "verification code" three times, and still it enters some inane loop!
All I'm trying to do is download a sketchup plan - basically a ply cutting list - courtesy of a design by the Canadian School of French Marquetry, as mentioned on the following page :
https://www.thecanadianschooloffrenchmarquetry.com/sketchupandbuildinginstructions.html
It doesn't look like I can get it anywhere else, which makes the whole affair even more ******* annoying!

Only the other day I was looking at Sketchup, however didn't want to have stuff online only so I tried to download a trial version and hit a similar problem whereby it asks me to sign in/create account but takes me to a placeholder page that looks like it is failing to load some necessary fields -

...which is the same page ultimately that your link leads to for the sketchup plans!

This is why I try to avoid any hosted app or storage and have everything hosted locally - and I accept the responsibility/risks of doing so!

I have a feeling that that sort of download might only be available to those using the professional (paid-for) version of SketchUp. I'm not sure, just a thought. . . .

I suspect it's either a problem their end, or they don't like Google Chrome browser, either way not a problem for me as I downloaded Siemens Solid Edge instead !

Thanks, Artie. Sketchup desktop viewer does the trick...

If the above attachment doesn’t work, I downloaded the Sketchup 2023 file and sent it via WeTransfer for easy download. Link below…

If you search for the 2017 version, that's available as a downloadable installer for the standalone version.

This is the one I use , it's good enough for what use it for and everything stay on my computer.

This is caused by adblocker, I suspect. Had the same in Chrome with AdBlock extension, but worked alright in FireFox without adblockers.

Thanks for that!!
