    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!

    In the link provided, it suggest searching for 'Materials', but that isn't the best choice... SU should have two Material folders but only makes the 'User' one when you make a new material inside SU... so it better to look for a redundent [still included] folder that has always been placed in the User path... to open it in Finder you can copy/paste into Ruby Console... `open "#{Sketchup.find_support_file('OldColors')}"` on mine that's /Users/johns_iMac/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/OldColors In that SketchUp folder add a new folder named Materials [it will not get deleted on upgrading]... add any material sub-folders into there, they must contain skm files to work... once made drag it into the Finder sidebar for easy access [image: TKpz_mac_mats.gif] there are other gif mini tuts about add materials from inside SU... john

    Is it possible you are turning them off in the View menu or you're using a style that has them turned off? Are you really still using SketchUp 7?

    can you give a few steps to how you got there? also, I am guessing you push and pull on certain nodes once the general shape is there but that results in all different sized triangles. Is there a more rigid approach to maintain uniform dimensions to skin?

    With such a geometry is also easy to make it tile. You can also export a background black and tiles white and use this as a mask so you can blend with other textures/grunge maps and you can make your material.

    You're welcome. I periodically run into the same thing after I've had Use Maximum Texture Size enabled for a project and forget to disable it again. I rarely need it enabled but once in awhile it comes in handy.

    The "first" part worked because the "Name:" was changed. The "second" part changed the "Definition Name:" which is apparently what you were looking for. So just ignore the first part. My apologies, I forgot that SU8 doesn't accept multi-line input. But since you have Aerilius' console, you can save the snippet and recall and use it anytime you need it. Be aware that, as written, the code expects the components to not be aligned with or along the "Y" axis. Otherwise, it should always work.

    @ridation said: another question is : I have to make a 3dsmax export to render it from , because my render guy do not know SU very well . You can simply import the skp directly into max. It should come in incl. all layers, materials, texturing and scene settings. To be able to work on the geometry later in max you should weld vertices in max. In my opinion the easiest way to texture curved surfaces is ThruPaint.
