    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!

    ~~ @rich o brien said: @dave use the beta forum to log snags but there's been a change in scene mode. in SU if you have a scene with camera location set to NOT SAVE then in EDG3D that scene is a free rotate mode. most of your other points will need chatting elsewhere Please delete my prior post. I also just saw the post from Gabor and just downloaded the plugin again and am trying again. Did not notice that this was not the beta forum. Please delete this and my prior post and I will readdress on the beta forum.~~ My apology. My original posts were incorrect and in the wrong forum.

    if your maintenance is running you should have received already your SUP 2015 license data by your supplier approx. in November 2014. Be aware, that license data of older SUP versions as e.g. your SUP 2014 won't work with the recent SUP 2015. if you do have the SUP 2015 license data and don't wanna user the SUP 2014 version further, remove the license data in SUP 2014 via "Help > License" and enter your SUP 2015 license data either in the splash dialog resp. "Help > License" at the new system. An active internet connection and a LAN adapter as well as a working MS Internet Explorer v9+ resp. Apple Safari is required for doing this. hth

    Toolbars Not stacking 2015

    It may not work the way you'd like it to but it isn't a bug. It's the way the toolbar manager was designed to work. While it might be more convenient to be able to make multi-column toolbars, the benefits of this toolbar manager over the old one make this a very tiny inconvenience. The major benefit of this new toolbar manager is that it prevents the toolbar scramble that was prevalent in SU8 and before. Try making the SU8 window smaller and then drag it out larger again. Do that in SU2015. Big difference. You can also customize the native toolbars and make your own. I've omitted Dimensions and other text tools along with Pan and Orbit from mine giving me more real estate for other tools.

    Smooth/Soft edges gives a rounded appearance between two facets - typically used when the facets form a 'surface'. Hidden edges are not displayed - the junction between two facets is sharp. Having View > Hidden-Geometry ON lets you see such edges as dotted line styles, You can apply these properties to selected edges, but if you want all of the edges in the model to be unseen. then it's easy - make/use a style which has the edges option unchecked. EDIT: Dave beat me to the line ! Your working style will need edges showing to let you draw and edit things but your animation scene-tabs can use the edgeless style...

    Derie: FYI The attached pic shows both the orginal on left and your problem model on right. Each is locked in my skp. You posted model was flattened, then used PP to extrude up to height shown in original and dimension shown at same display resolution for each. As can be seen both correlate. This approach basically replicates your model and one would expect both to be same. However, if the contention SU randomly changed model it seems reasonable errors in x,y which is not case. Detail look at steps in model creation can hopefully find where error was introduced. [image: ByiR_Component_134_original_mac1.jpg]

    You could give Handbrake handplane (now free) a spin, however I think the main application for it is a little different to what you have in mind. EDIT thanks for pointing out the error

    @oceanembers said: Projection will cause distortion at the extremities of the cylinder, so it maybe isn't the best idea for any graphics/decals that aren't decently central, unless you want to start sectioning off areas for different projections. Other than that, yeah projection will work in OP's instance, it was probably overkill for me to suggest UV tools. Working with one of the UV plugins would indeed be the best and most accurate approach - no doubt... However, although the OP have set his SU experience to advanced, he seem to have limited knowledge about UV and how it works - as far as I can tell - hence I suggested the projection approach before jumping into more complex plugins and ways to apply textures on cylinder shapes... You need to learn how to crawl before you know how to walk...

    Ok, I see what's happening. I cannot edit the library of materials. That's the way it should be. I am able to edit any materials that are used in the model, which is also the way it should be. All is well! Thanks.

    You could also go on to Layout and have more control over .dwg export, and less control... but you could use the layers there. Kenny's method is better...

    @box said: There are many ways, but you might need to be more specific about what you need. Rich's tutorial on the very basics may be enough to get you going. http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/beginner/24-how-to-make-a-spiral-stair Then again you could make the stairs straight and use shape bender to curve it. http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=clf_shape_bender_v055 Or have a go with one of the Stair Maker plugins http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=gkware_stairmaker http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Stair_Maker and a simple one using Fredo's Radial Bend, part of Fredo Scale. Thanks BOX All of them are usefull to me
