    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?

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    Generate Report not excluding hidden components

    I guess I should be clearer that this is regarding components with sub-components. If I make separate components for a cabinet and doors, and put them on separate layers, I can hide one layer and select one of them independent of the other. If I make a cabinet component with a door sub-component, I can still assign layers and view them independently within the model, but a report generated selecting the cabinet component will always include the door sub component whether I hide/layer it out of view or not. Just like if the report was made with "Entire Model" instead of "Current Selection" it grabs everything regardless of hidden/layer status. The "Current Selection" logic is selective only to the parent level. Once it has a parent component, it doesn't care if the children are hidden/layered away. That seems like a big oversight for it to behave differently than the logic users work with in the model, and is currently crushing my dreams.

    Well I tried to pull it off effortlessly and sadly they can't be repaired..... RIP those models and created and reformed throughout the years since 2013. I'll never forgive the sudden deletion that day, it happened when I was away from home.

    crashes at startup are typically related to the following 3 reasons: 1.) Win: faulty OpenGL support of used graphics card driver 2.) incompatible or faulty extensions/plugins 3.) Win: faulty program installation to fix: 1.) Win: update to latest version 1.) Win: ensure that SU is running on a dedicated graphics card (preferrably a nVidia GeForce) if available instead of an integrated graphics sub-system as e.g. the intel HD: "nVidia Control Panel > 3D Settings > SketchUp...") 2.) disable Ruby extensions/scripts by adding the following parameter to the SU command line: - Win: "...\SketchUp.exe /DisableRubyAPI" - Mac: "...\SketchUp.exe -DisableRubyAPI YES" 3.) Win: install by: "right-click > Run as Administrator" 3.) Win: ensure that the required SU prerequisites (= MS runtime libraries) are fully installed resp. download and install them manually

    You could export model with WebGL export plugin and get all the textures in a folder. https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/t2h-export-webgl

    Well finally got around to getting the Vive setup. Steam was a bit of a PIA, wouldn't connect to the server from the Vive setup, had to go to Steam, download and install from there which took 3 times for some reason, all in all bout 2 hr setup from mounting the base stations, to installing software, creating Vive and Steam accounts, and going through the setup. As a side note took about an hour to get Sketchup setup on the new rig, why after all these years can't I export a customization file from sketchup and import into a new install? Such a pain setting toolbars up. Oh well tomorrow I'll get Enscape up and running.

    If you want a 45° chamfer using the native tools, offset from the inside edges of the box. Then move the interior edges down by the same amount. No need for a guide line that just needs to be deleted later.

    You may need to look at your 'gamma and LUT' settings. Specifically, the 'affect color picker' check box. You may be operating in 2 different color spaces. Could need to change the gamma. Look into 'linear workflow'...(and if it is new to you...get prepared to be very confused!)

    In SketchUp Pro you can use File > Generate Report. Or for SketchUp Make or Pro you can use Profile Builder, Estimator and many more reporting extensions to satisfy your needs.

    There's no way I know of to replace the image in the matched photo scene if that is what you're asking? You can use Add Scene with Matched Photo to import a new image. Right click the scene in the Scenes dialog/panel... [image: SWwv_2018-04-01_20-28-09.png] This new scene with the new image should match the setup of the original scene.

    Ok Daniel, fair enough. But I'll just add this for the benefit of anyone coming after. This is an unlicensed copy of 2018 3 days into its trial and as you see by moving the toolbar to the edge of the workspace it snaps to vertical. [image: Ct9I_Toolbar.gif]
