    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!

    Revit to Sketchup Workflow...

    I am using a RevitLT / SketchUp workflow. I've tried all manner of programs and in the end settled on RevitLT. The documentation is what sells it for me - grids, schedules, tags for windows and doors, etc. That being said, nothing rivals SkecthUp for the 3D modeling of odd stuff and all the possibilities of presentation. I model everything I can in RevitLT and export the file as an acis solid dwg. This imports into SketchUp without any problems with all the Revit objects becoming components or groups. What doesn't happen is the importing of the textures. I do the texture application in SketchUp. This isn't as onerous as it sounds. I use Simlab for 3D pdfs from SketchUp and find it quite useful. I can't use the Revit plugin as LT doesn't support plugins so I can't comment on that. Not a perfect workflow but pretty good. KrisM

    Does it look the same if you use layers for the control of the visibility?

    Thanks for the explanation. I did wonder what it is you are drawing. I'd never have guessed it was for a musical instrument. Cheers.

    TTF have the same problem in displaying variations on my MAC SU 2015. No there is not an equivalent in TTF as they are being phased out.

    The clipping plane is actually not recognized on the visualization service ... So it looks much complicated. Thanks a lot anyway !

    Dave, is there still an issue with that not working with plugins from other sources? @box said: One small thing to note, Plugins from other sources won't be included in Bundles. It can only recognise ones you have downloaded through the Sketchcation tool.

    Why not just move the group to the proper Z then explode the group. You might also try my Move2Elev plugin.

    Thanks very much sdmitch, I'm not a coder at all, but even failing a programming degree has proven useful, also Notepad++ very helpful for find code bits I can now go and roll this idea across a subdivision and all will look nicely loose and random

    A web-search for 'vctools' suggests that is a resource often used for hacking. http://www.vctools.net/forum/ So it looks like you have a Virus or Trojan that is trying to latch onto SketchUp as you run it... Luckily the author has made an error in his code and it's failing ! It could have come in from almost anywhere... You need to search for and delete it - the path in the error message is spurious - it's not on your network, but relates to something used when the little bugger was compiled... Use a reputable Anti-virus/SpyWare/Trojan removal app... 'CCleaner' can also be used to tidy up your Temp files and Registry... http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    This behavior occurs for exactly the same root reason as the infamous small geometry problem: to allow for floating-point arithmetic, SketchUp puts a tolerance around how closely things match before they are considered "same". In the small geometry case, it causes vertices that SketchUp deems to be "the same" to merge. In the color by axis case, it causes SketchUp to color an edge if it is "close enough". And in both cases, it is not hard to construct a model in which close enough wasn't adequate.

    @deadtaco said: The only way to fix the clipping issue is to zoom way out and then switch to parallel projection for your camera. Now you'll be able to zoom back in without clipping. Turning off layers/hiding objects has zero effect on the clipping plane issue. The only way to fix it is to completely remove all objects on those layers. I set my F12 key to be my switch between parallel and perspective camera views and it's helpful. I was just having the same problem and the above fixed my issue, thank you

    There are several plugins that could help you. fredo's bezier spline and thomthom's bezier surface spring to mind, and will give you the functions you need in this instance. Unfortunately, Sketchup does not have any native support for curves, so there won't be a way to bring in the models and keep 100% of the editability they had in revit.
