Here are Gene's instructions copied from the retired forums:

"Got a solution. Install the flush pull in the door in Sketchup, and then save and import the .skp symbol, with its pull already there.
Put your pull on the L side of the door to make this work right, as shown in the overhead view of the .skp model.
Hey, Chief, fix this, will ya? Pocket doors need pulls, and while you are fixing it, add a couple of different kinds. One, the kind that wraps the edge of the slab, another, one that installs flush into the middle of the face of the stile. We know you cannot recess them flush into the door, but you can surely fake something."

Hi Steve,

What model number is your iMac and what version of OS X are you running?

Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner and select about this Mac.  This will show the OS version.

Then click on the More Info... button to get to the model number.

Here is another thread with different solutions:

The old file wasn't "open" per se, as in a PDF viewer.  But just having the file showing in a file folder in a Windows Explorer window seems to be considered "open" as far as an overwrite goes.  The preview pane in Windows Explorer, I suppose, constitutes that file being "open", but that is rather counter-intuitive.

Yes, MS needs to address this at the OS level and they should have done this long time ago whenever they introduced file preview in the explorer. Other OSs deal with this much better. In OS X you can even rename or move an open file without any issues.  If you overwrite an open PDF file you can see the changes in the PDF right away without closing and reopening the file.

... We recently acquired a new low end Mac Pro. Our first use of it indicates that the performance doesn't really justify the cost. However, it seems to run Chief well. We have a higher end on on order that should be here soon. Perhaps it will provide better benchmarks.

 

From a compatibility standpoint these seem to get an A. From a return on investment standpoint I would give them and F.

Yes, the new Mac Pro does not fit everyone's needs and some software packages don't take advantage of it's strengths.

Architosh just released a good article as a buyer's guide for those trying to decide between the new Mac Pro and an iMac.

Another extensive Mac Pro review was recently done by Ars Technica.

I find it very beneficial to keep all original packaging and accessories in a tidy condition.

Most Apple hardware has a really good resale value and this makes the sale and shipping of the product that much easier when you are ready to upgrade.
