    Hey guys I am desperate for very high resolution/quality satellite maps, I use Placemaker and I also use Nearmap but the resolution is not that great, I have tried using AI to upscale but that too does not really solve my issues. Is there another solution?

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    If you turn off the tags for the parts you don't want and set up a scene to show the object(s) you're interested in, you should be able to export the view. Or use LayOut. It would be better for setting up the view and getting the desired export.

    I tried it with my very old ImageTrimmer, and it took a very very long time ! Then I tried it with Fredo6's new https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Pic2Shape It took 25 minutes, and I had to manually hide the edges and stand it up, but it worked well. Here's the SKP v2026... trimmed.skp [image: 1764023259784-trimmed.png]

    Did you change the number of segments in the corners from the model you shared? I used the geometry in your model and didn't make any changes other than fixing the location of the axes and moving the model to the origin. Out of curiosity what are you expecting for the outside diameter of the round part? What are the expected dimensions for the rectangular part? You say you want the walls to be 1.2 mm thick. If you are selecting 1.2 mm for the offset in your model, the walls will have practically no thickness.

    Hardware wears out and software updates change things. When using old software that isn't being updated you need to look at the things that are changing.

    Issue with curves glitching in model

    @icorrea I don't think it has anything to do with the number of curves in your model. It's a fairly simple one. I agree with Rich. If you are having problems it's most likely the graphics card or its drivers. What version of SketchUp are you using? Share a screen shot of what you see. This is what I'm seeing. A few exposed back faces (blue) but no problem working in the model. [image: 1763125116883-glitching.gif]

    @Leggy said in help with a thread: it seems to be in hidden sections, so would have to select every faucet on the plane and line Likely you need to weld some edges first. @Leggy said in help with a thread: what I found is a difference in tolerances, I printed 3 nuts with 0.1/15/2 offsets in petg and tpu, 0.1 was good in petg, but had to go to 0.2 for tpu Not surprising. They have different shrink rates.

    @MLUY you could select all the geometry and do the same thing. You'll only soften edges in which the angle between face normals is less than or equal to the angle set in the Soften Edges panel.

    @Mike-Amos Yep. Agreed, many of the tutorial videos are so fast.... not well organized, messy... this is the way I learned the Blender modeling: Targeted the toolbars, I see in Layout and Editing UI, read the document, learned one tool at a time. (if needed, watched Youtube), moved to the next tool. Otherwise, it takes ages and seems hard (and it is to be honest). If they also do not adopt the new trend, I think will vanish as well.

    @joshvt said in Measurement window location in 2025: for some reason was having trouble floating/ undocking it. If you untick the box for Measurements in the View>Toolbars panel the window should be displayed in the default lower right corner location.

    If you change it does performance improve? Vector looks great in the viewport but it’s not ideal to work with it.
