    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?

    @bob_cp said: "model in place then move to the ground plane" - that just doesn't make a lot of sense, but hey, if it's what works! It was a simple suggestion to help you understand how the axes need to be placed when you are creating them so that you can see what you need to do when creating them in place. But hey...

    Have you got the original contours? If not use SUs native contours tool to make a set and then use Fredo's Toposhaper to make a new surface, this tool will also add sides to your terrain and usually makes a solid. JPP is the wrong tool for this Of course work in a file copy, and at the end del everything else.

    @pbacot said: I would use "component edit" and take screen shots. Could you show an example of how that would work? On my computer opening a component to edit does not make the rest of the model transparent and there's the component edit bounding box and component axes being displayed.

    Ah, yes as a developer I can see Rhino's draw. I have FormZ as well and it's taken some time to learn it's way as opposed to SU's way. I do like FormZ's openness to allowing their free and Jr versions to be used for ANY purpose, even commercial. I also like the included tool set missing from SU, stairs, walls, nurbs, etc..

    When you installed SketchUp, did you right click on the downloaded installer and choose 'Run as administrator' from the Context menu? If not or you aren't sure, close SketchUp and do it now. We're now up to version 2019.3. You might as well download it and update while you are at it. Once you have SketchUp correctly installed, see if you can remain logged in. Do you have a Subscription license or is it the Classic license? Thanks for updating your profile. That kind of info helps us help you.

    Thanks anyway... It's the latest version - I can't see where the error arises... Maybe I'll have to dig out a copy of v8... Although it'd be easier for the OP to update to v2017

    I guess all I can say is good luck. I've seen another example today of a file corrupted beyond recovery because the user was saving his file directly into Drop Box and working on it from there. For files I want to work on with more than one computer, I save them locally and then copy them to a cloud location so they are accessible from the other machine.

    The Standard Views are fixed as is the location of the ground plane. By default the model axes are located such that the red/green plane lays on the ground plane with solid green running off into the distance in the standard front view. While you can change the axis orientation and location, that has no impact on the Standard Views or ground plane.

    Fixed it. The .rb file was pointing to a _loader.rb file in the plugin folder. It's actually a _loader.rbs file. I've informed them. It's still unclear which format will become the standard for AR viewing on smartphones etc....Apple's USDZ or Google's glTF.

    If nothing else works you could try to run this in the Ruby console: Sketchup.send_action 10624 [image: 10115-pasted-from-clipboard-png] A bit down from the middle there is Near, Far and Force That lets you set the clipping planes manually. Beware that this is not an "official" Camera settings panel so be sure to make a backup if you use it. Also you may have to run it again to uncheck/reset this Force clipping planes after.

    Vanishing lines with sketchy styles.....help!

    Another thing to consider when using sketchy styles is that edges that make up curves can often be shorter than the shortest edge stroke. When that happens, the curves tend to disappear as in this example. [image: UUE7_Screenshot-11_13_20199_53_58PM.png] Welding those edges together gets around that problem as shown here: [image: VcPT_Screenshot-11_13_20199_55_01PM.png] The easiest way I've found to do the welding is with Eneroth Auto Weld which welds any edges that can be welded in the selection. TIG's TIG-Weld is also good.

    The Mac previews are presented by a thing called a QuickLook Generator (QLG). SketchUp started including its own QLG only a few versions ago. It's not clear that it is fully stable - I too sometimes see the generic icon instead of a preview.
