Forward

I just got my hands on a Macbook Air and first thing I wanted to do was try out FlStudio's Beta. I downloaded the beta and started it up. I saw this to my dismay:

Solution

Ok, I guess this works. No text but any veteran FLStudio user knows his way around the software, butttt, It really makes it a challenge...so let's fix it anyway.

To fix this, you need to install a missing font: ARIAL.TTF

You have to place this file in 

"/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/FL Studio/Bottles/flstudio/drive_c/windows/fonts"

Make sure you do not place it in your Macintosh HD/Library/...

but wait... there is no Library folder under your username!? That's because it is hidden. Follow these steps to reveal it:

1. Launch Terminal from Mac HD > Applications > Utilities.
2. From within Terminal type the following command and press Return:
   chflags nohidden ~/Library
3. Enter the system administrator password, if prompted, and press Return.

Now you can access the Library folder in your user folder.

Convert Autocad to Hammer for Source Mapping

Do all of your work as normal in CAD or SU. If CAD is first, save as DWG and import into SketchUp. In SU turn all of your plans into 3d masses, but you need to make sure you group your items (or perhaps just insert planes) so that you have no convex geometry (this is geometry that exceeds 180 degrees, a 3D 'L' would have to be grouped into 2 parts). This is easy if you just group as you go. From SU, save you file as an OBJ. You may need to use SU pro (which there is a free trial, I use the trial time only for opening and exporting). Import...
