    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!

    [image: a3Zt_divide.PNG]Ok, so for those who need to do this in the future, my best solution is as such. Install two extension. 1 = 1001 points 2 = CLF Vertical Line tool Use 1001 points to divide edge by a given length. It will place a construction point at those division. Then, use CLF line tool and define line height and pick the construction points as you go around. This is the fastest I could do it. 1 floor took about 5 minutes. Not bad.

    Yep, I use inferencing a lot. Do not use the locking mechanism other than moving though. Will practice it more though. I appreciate your information though. I promise I will use it more often.

    I think the best way would be to double click the component several times until you have selected the faces you want to paint. With this you have been able to edit the component. That is the context you want to apply the new material, applying it to the faces inside the component instead painting the component. The difference is that when you paint a component, only the faces that inside the component AND have no material assigned, receive the new material. All faces inside the component that have a material directly assigned, will ignore the component's material as box described.

    The lines dont show in shaded mode because I unmarked lines in view mode. "Anyway I think the last picture is just an "optical" artifact. The profile edges on a curved shape should not be affected" When I exported the hidden line model to Illustrator the lines were cut just like in the screendump. "if you intersected faces as you said, you should see the edge where the top of the knob intersects the shaft all around" Yes, I did that and the top line showed, like intended.

    I don't quite follow your question either, but, you can right click on a line and select divide.

    When I say frustrated its just that everything goes so slow. I have always wondered what it is like to control a mars rover with control delay. I could not believe selecting a texture, and hitting the delete button does not work at all any more. I have to right click and "erase" and wait about 7 seconds for it to go. Moving a texture or even something small is almost impossible. So frustration was expected and experienced. Loading the model into the renderer (8.2 million faces)takes about 6 minutes so about 12 minutes from hitting the render button to getting the first frame render. Strangely though the renders only take about 5 minutes to cycle to a good standard. I followed as much of the advice I was kindly given from this forum, and the computer I use is of a high spec so I think this is about the limit of shetchup. So basically it is just a very big model. It did test my patients though.

    Thanks driven, will give it a try but I think this still means saving each assembly one by one. I'd like to find a way to save multiple components at a time. Will try tomorrow. Cheers Sam
