    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?

    Thanks for the responses. I've use all methods listed other than the boolean. Seems like the suggestion of making a component for reuse is a good idea. Can't believe I never thought of it. Thanks

    4K Monitor font size in some plugins

    SketchUp has known issues when plugins use certain techniques such as view.draw_text on high dpi displays. The text (or other graphic) comes out tiny and the only way a user can enlarge it is to shift to a lower dpi display mode (which, of course, decreases the resolution of everything on the screen). Hopefully Trimble will address this someday, as it make certain plugins nearly unusable.

    First off.. Anything scaled in sketchup is going to export skewed and off.. So, always save as new and explode everything before exporting to dwg/dxf. If that doesn't work. Open it up in Revit and export it from there. Works everytime

    Thanks for the help guys, I got in to see an email from them this morning telling me that they hadn't received my email at all. Not sure where that's gone; lost in the ether of the internet somewhere.

    That's fair, it was just a bit confusing, your "Noobyness" comment suggested that you may have simply downloaded the models and therefore had no real understanding of sketchup, rather than just a gap in your knowledge.

    You won't get the horse power out of a laptop that could get from a desktop, but an ideal 3D system would be running 2x Xeon processors and the best Nvidia Quadro you can afford. You might want to make sure that your settings are optimized for 3D graphics.

    Bump. I think back to the days of model challenges for Halloween and Christmas--which I enjoyed a lot but I don't think I ever felt good enough to join in. Maybe folks would like to make some Christmas cards and share them. Maybe we'll put snow on our current clients' house models for the Holidays and share with them (though the houses will be in California).

    do you mean you wish to see two different folders at the same time? like this on a mac...[image: YSh3_2014-10-1604.03.30pm.png] also I know on mac you need to create a User path 'Components' folder for SU to auto load them... if you don't actually use Dropbox for sharing, move all the folder to the User/Components, or link the content so SU can find them. john

    Using the Upload Attachment can you upload the actual model if it isn't too big?

    Thank you all for the advice. Rich - Well, I'm always being told I'm stubborn! At last it might pay off! Nemerobis - You're probably right, but I don't want to purchase & have to learn a third program just now. I have looked at Blender too - but another (difficult) learning curve. Hellnbak - Good idea, I'll look for those programs. Personally, I like to read a manual read, hence going for the tutorial e-books. Cars are not exactly my passion but a great deal of my business is indirectly for Mercedes-Benz so it would be an advantage. PS. looking forward to seeing the moon buggy!

    @krisidious said: select that plane you created. right click on the face and choose intersect with model. this will create the slice of geometry you want. Before you do this, you should group that face and do the intersection in the context of that group. This way, you can be sure that nothing else gets affected by the intersection.

    I have a similar problem. I built a new machine, changed from a 660 TI to a 270x graphics cards, which are neck and neck in performance. But on my new machine, SketchUp looks horrible. Ive got the latest drivers, hardware acelleration and nothing else checked in preferences, with the highest quality selected. Tried other threads like here like http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=57614%26amp;p=524089%26amp;hilit=Anti+Aliasing#p524089 except I didnt try the registry delete thing,Im a bit nervous about doing that. Anyone had anything similar happen to them, and where they able to fix it? I should say Im using Windows 7 64 bit in both cases.
