    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?

    I don't know guys, If the edges all around the end of this shape coplanar, you should just select them and do a regular offset without any further hassle and plugins. [image: au9U_Offset.jpg] Now if they are non-planar, make an intersection with a flat face and do it afterwards. Another way would be to fill in that face first (just redraw a segment on the perimeter - again, only if the end edges are coplanar) and then do the offset. [image: oo8v_Offset2.jpg]

    @chris fullmer said: Your color is not a color at all though, its a material. Right? That's new to me if it is. I'll need to investigate. Chris Yes Chris... this is actually the trick! The color can be a material! And just in this second i have some ideas about how this feature can be exploited.

    Yea - File size isn't a good scale for a "light" component. Textures alone can make a simple model be very heavy in file size - since they store the original size - not the 1024x1024 that SU actually use. Max 100Kb & 1000 faces? (Maybe a couple of thousands more?) What's it's going to be used for?

    @thomthom said: Have you purged the model? Yes, even if all geometry is deleted from the model space, used components, materials and even styles can add considerable amount of Mb's to it until you purge everything.

    @khai said: thanks for suggesting slicer, but thats not what I'm looking for.. it's good, but I need 1 slice put exactly where I need it.. TIG, I think Khai is looking for your SectionCutFace Ruby script. Did you forget one of your own precious creations? This is what it does.

    Thank you very much TIG. Although it doesn't do 100% of what i wanted, It's a lot better than manually reapply materials. Regarding the rewriting the plugin, I wouldn't know a thing about it. I will very much appreciate if you could do it (I'm sure others will benefit from it as well) Best

    @takesh h said: @north_frost said: Is it possible to solve it with this model? Thanks! Yes, I said so. Next time, try it for yourself. Why I asked was that the seam is still visible, not nearly as much, I can accept the small joint that is left. Your method will save me many hours of work ahead. @massimo said: Simply explode your two sub-groups. It will work. But maybe a too destructive approach. If the model was smaller had it worked but now the size is 29MB. Thanks for the help you all!!

    @newone said: @jrexi said: Thanks Newone! Can you let me know how you did it so I don't need to bug you when I model some other pool designs Just build your component onto a face . When you will select the geometry and press G (make component shortcut) you will see "cut face" option checked. ah, so that's the trick. Thank You so much!

    Thank you Anssi! Your answer actually helped me alot. I hadn't realized that converting the file to a dxf/dwg actually creates straight lines to make up the curves. If I just add a bunch of nodes into every curve and then export it (or create my vector curves using straight lines) then the results are actually really clean and quite accurate when importing them into SU. This is one of those little things that I wish i had known all along and will help me a thousand times in the future. BIG HELP. Thanks again. scott

    Activate Dynamic Components Toolbar?

    I have now solved the mystery, Gaieus, though I only half-understand.. Turns out it was a ruby of some kind, either purchased or downloaded from the kind people on this forum. Not that the ruby itself was defective - just was either replicated or was residing in the wrong folder. My process was to remove all rubies temporarily, remove Sketch Up Pro and then do a clean reinstall. From this point I had no problem finding and activating the DC components toolbars. And, incidentally the sand box toolbar which also wasn't behaving. I'm now in the process of adding the rubies back in, very slowly and one or two at a time, then closing and reopening Sketch Up to see which was the conflicting script. Thanks for all the comments and support! Nigel

    There is no 11" default when you import them manually. Its all relative and I think its based on the relative zoom of the window. Chris
