    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!

    Lumion or LumenRT?

    LumenRT was bought by Bentley about a year ago. And, unfortunately, they changed the pricing - not only did they jack the price up, but sell it on a subscription-only basis (under eon, it was like SU - you bought it once, and as long as you paid the modest maintenance fee each year, subsequent versions and updates were free). Now it is too expensive for my modest means; I'll stick with the old eon software version for now. If I were choosing between the two today (or if I ever get a really huge bonus or win a lottery) I would choose Lumion - for the money, you get more bang for your buck, IMHO.

    Here's another keyboard shortcuts site called SketchUp Shortcuts. I tend to use it because the URL is very easy to remember.

    In addition to the other fixes... This oldie script [by me] lets you batch reset a selection of arcs/circles' segmentation: again, that's provided that they are '2d'... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ArcCurve_set_segments

    @SWills Thanks for the log. RoundPushPull is not really designed for this type of surface. It is more for boxy shapes. You should use JointPushPull instead, if it is just to thicken the surface. Fredo

    Using this in the Ruby Console UI.openURL("file:///#{Sketchup.find_support_file('Templates')}") opens your own user Templates folder. The 'shipped' Templates are in the .../SketchUp.../Resources/.../Templates folder...

    Good try at it Box. Fell back to twisting with FredoScale cause my attempts twisting with Vertex Tools weren't working so well. Need to do a little more practice with Vertex Tools since it shouldn't mess up the mesh in the process.....

    There are a number of lined textures available. I think the best way is to use some other vector drawing program and export as sharp a picture that you can with png or jpg format. You want a flat view of the texture. If you use SU you have to orient the view to the face and use parallel projection to get a straight-on view, then export at a graphic. Adjust the light and dark sliders in the shadow dialog to get the tone you want for the background (the faces). Using Sketchup doesn't seem the best way to get a texture pattern, in my opinion.

    @alexschreyer said: I still think that the DXF ... export should be baked into SketchUp Make... neverever, with the the key difference (= DXF/DWG data exchange) between Make and Pro removed and already lots of users using Make commercially this would probably have a big impact on Pro sales... au contraire, strip down or better discontinue the Make version.

    I can see partial automation but, for total automation, you might look at ValliArchitects Instant Roof.

    I think if you are trying to duplicate what the Leica laser is doing, you would need to "replicate" what the laser does automatically. The laser must be "fixed" in place and "shoots" let's say target #1on a wall, then pivot the laser tool (vert/horiz/etc) and shoot target #2 on same wall. The laser takes both lengths recorded, and references the angle of pivot to report the "height" (if vert/assuming plumb wall) You could easily do this in sketchup using a fixed point/protractor/tape measure tool, but the distance from the wall and the elevation of the laser tool must be known. (Assuming you are trying to replicate laser info) You likely know all of the above and more, so I think to help answer your question more specifically, can you provide a simple example of what you are attempting? (Is this for something like photo match?) Best regards, Charlie
