    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

    @atrodler said: Did you ever find a fix for this? I've been going through the same thing, following your (and some others) threads here and on reddit. Extremely frustrating bug. I'm getting the exact same results as you. Currently having to export textures in .dae format anytime I need to edit one. Then re-import, resize, replace, purge old, etc etc etc.

Hi Box Forgive me about the name mistake I downloaded the model and I understand now thanks. now I am off to become a "scenes" star lol Thanks again

    If anybody is interested, here's a link to the thread started by my post on this subject on the Sketchup Community forum. While the issue isn't totally "solved," I'm satisfied with the answers I got from the SketchUp team, and particularly some of John's explanations were quite helpful. http://forums.sketchup.com/t/2016-push-pull-double-click-pulls-in-opposite-direction/23140

    ... maybe also Renderiza´s [SU]Ch plugin could be an interesting option as well? In addition to the option to decide which content should be exported (i.e. shadows, lines, etc.) I really like the possibility to export images in any resolution, regardless of the currently used SU viewport size. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=482123#p482123 https://extensions.sketchup.com/de/content/such

    Orbit and Pan / Snaps 'Jerky' after OS X 10.11.4 (15E65)

    Similar problem. OS X 10.11.4 SU Pro 16 New Wacom Intuos Pro med. Wireless space mouse - JFTR, works incredibly well with SU. Massive speed improvement for me in navigating 3D. However finding Wacom really inaccurate for picking up points and moving. On small projects the move tool stutters and jerks around. Thought it was human error at first... tried every setting in Wacom config wasting several hours... Picked up 2D outline of basement to move with Wacom - useless!!! Really wasting time and effort to place. Put pen down - picked up mac mouse without de-selecting object. Object moved and snapped perfectly!! Would appreciate any suggestions - close to boxing Wacom and send back for refund. Thanks

    The reason for this is because your new iMac has a very high resolution display. There are many threads on this subject here on SCF. As a workaround you can reduce the resolution of your display or see this where slbaumgartner has offered a set of double-sized images for the tools and other graphics.

    @dave r said: But the text portion is very useful if you need a cut list. I also find it useful as a quick check for problem dimensions. I agree completely on both points. The printed parts list is my go-to to take to the lumber yard when selecting boards. And I embarrassingly often discover parts that were drawn just a bit out of whack when their dimensions come out on the printed cutlist with the dread ~.

    @involute said: @pbacot said: Use the scale tool? Tried that. It scales the whole object, not just the image. Pick the image, not the object. This makes it sound like you DID import as a texture. There's a difference.

    Dider hasn't updated his plugins to work with the newer Ruby version. TIG has edited a few and you can find them in the Plugin Store. I don't think this is one of them, though. I fixed it load by changing unpack("m").to_s to unpack("m")[0]. It still doesn't appear to work, though.

    Hello Kenny, just checking if you had already worked out your problem. I'm in the same need for a way of importing this new 3D imagery into Sketchup (or any other CAD software) to work with it. I'm a PhD student working with augmented reality applications, and this would be a great thing to work with. Please let me know if Google had made this available.

    Google 'smoothing groups' (soften edges controls in Sketchup). It has nothing to do with Post.

    Welcome. the geometry in your model is wrapped up as a component. In fact, it is double wrapped which it probably doesn't need to be. You can open the "wrapper" by double clicking on it with the Select tool. You'll need to do that twice to get in to the geometry itself. I would be inclined to explode the outer wrapper and leave only a single one. You can right click on the component and choose Explode. [image: TriC_Screenshot-3_29_20167_46_02PM.png] [image: jVQm_Screenshot-3_29_20167_46_50PM.png] FWIW, in the future please upload your SKP file here by clicking on Uppload Attachment below the window where you type your text.

    The last section extrudes turning less. Overlapping etc. Well the plug-in is still very useful when I can cut and join the halves = solid object. This was (the last twisted torus) extruded from an involute gear. 12 tooth. A quite heavy task.

    Thank you, John, for your help. I will immediately put your naming-convention suggestion to use.
