    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 all for your ideas. I gave up and decided it was more trouble than it was worth to do a SU model and try to match it with the bad photo. I just added plants, grass and trees in photoshop. It seemed very difficult getting the results I wanted in the time that i needed. Photoshop was quick and was ok for what the client needed. I need to get better at photo shop;). In any case I have attached my result. [image: 2BMq_IMG00007t-3copyMedium.jpg]

    And how about sending .kmz files to your client? I bet Google Earth has a lot more users than SketchUp.

    @bmccall17 said: ...Now, how does it affect multiple images? Does this only apply to the image face that I am working with? It will always scale the whole context you arte in. Like Chris says (as he's just beaten me); when you are NOT in a group (i.e. in the "whole model"), the whole model will be scaled. If you only want to scale certain objects, group them first > edit > and scale it inside their editing context. It will only scale whatever is inside the group/component.

    SU 7 .kmz should be the same as SU 6 .kmz, as it is the google earth format, which hasnt changed recently, as far as im aware. Another thought: might be worth trying exporting as .3ds or some other format, unless you need .kmz to preserve some aspect of the file.

    @unknownuser said: Does your above mentioned dxf file arrive as a 3d entity when you use the version 12 export, when exported in plan view? Do you have to export using an isometric view? Yes, always as a 3d entity, independent of view. @unknownuser said: although I first thought that having each wall for instance as an individual component a pain, Once I have the walls on their own layer, I usaully explode them all and reform them all into one new group, leaving the windows in their own individual groups/components. Same with the entities that form the roof...explode em and reform into a single group

    if your aim is straight SketchUp export with edges switched on, it makes sense to keep the detail reasonably low (set yourself a limit of e.g. 5cm and never draw anything smaller than that, if possible). and then, as the others said, keep the same level of detail throughout the whole model. if you go for rendered images, as Gaieus said, the more detail the better, because you won't have any lines and therefore you won't have the problem of too many lines creating one dark mess in the distance. silver_shadow just mentioned his 2 million polygons model. I guess he referred to his 'eye candy 2' model. thats a perfect example, how high detail is beneficial for rendering

    Thanks David, I have made the change to the camera angle. I guess it is one of those things that when you work on it long enough I know what is what but others may not. Thanks. As far as the explanation (or idea) I am not sure if that is it, only due to the fact that the same thing happened when a shot was taken from the other side of the glass wall looking in. The tile in front of the wall was messed up there as well. Once I turned off "use maximum texture size" this bug went away. I only turned that on since I had heard it may help the overall quality of exported images. As I know know that is not always the case. Scott

    Thanks Dan, many of us are suffering with the compression of YT and any kind of valuable info about how and what to set up in the video to minimize this is always welcome.

    @unknownuser said: I don't know if i am on target with your question but the new Smustard profile builder and the dynamic component feature seem to give that sort of function. Dynamic components can be useful for stretchable components. For instance if you want to make an arbitrary length piping run with 20 foot pipe sections, and fittings between settings, then you can do the whole thing with one component. But you still have to place the component in the first place and stretch it to the desired size, and if your fittings have an inside (e.g. connection to wall) then you also have to align the component properly depending on whether you are placing in on the inside or outside of a wll. I'll have to take a look at profile builder and see what it does.
