    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!

    if "C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\ShippedExtensions\su_webtextures.rb" (and according subfolder) is not avail or blocked by a security solution resp. missing user rights, this may result in the described effect too. install SU again by "right-clicking > run as admin" in connection with the Windows user account which should be used for running SU (i.e. not e.g. an admin account). ensure, that plugins are not disabled at "Window > Ruby Console" by: is_disabled = Sketchup.plugins_disabled? ensure, that JavaScript (not Java) is not blocked by a browser plugin of your security solution.

    DropBox has this feature for quite some time. If you want to do this locally without the cloud storage you can use Tortoise SVN to manage the version control. I just use CloudUp or Save As Copy to keep a history of files

    I often find that it helps to disable "super rounding at corners" and enable "respect strict offset as far as possible" in the grey settings bar at the top of your viewport when using roundcorner

    I don't know that that is true Trog... rFactor was built for a single thread, before dual or quads and the game engine is actually even older than that. They actually used the -FullProc to turn off a thread. Then it was reversed to turn on threads for the single thread software. So there could be some key to it. That's why i want to see the actual Microsoft writeup and description the actual tool and not the proprietary named command. I saw a 100% increase in FPS with it on as opposed to off. as can be seen in the following screenshots. So there definitely is something to be had in there.

    Thanks Tig, I'll try some of those tips. I always open a SU file through SU by the way UNLESS it says it's locked. If so, I then navigate to the file via Explorer, unlock it and start it from there. I do nearly always have Windows set to detail or large icon view, so perhaps I'll try different settings like you say.

    Not sure if this id relevant. But i was having the same issue, and kept getting "Invalid File" a later noticed i had the file i was trying to import referenced onto my cad file, in other words i was beings used elsewhere. Once i close the Cad file it allowed me to import the image without any issues.

    Your beam does not need to be so poly-heavy! You can achieve details like that in a render using a mix of normal/bump and displacement maps, with only enough geometry detail to define the silhouette. It doesn't matter so much for this model, maybe, but if you created an entire scene like this, I'd not be surprised if your computer gave up the ghost.

    Just a thought, but do you have any abnormally large textures that could be causing issues? Otherwise, I'd say delete things until the weirdness stops (in a backup obviously), add things back in until it starts, and try to diagnose it that way. As for why it's fine in a new model, I'd say perhaps the issue is within a group/component and doesn't kick off until it's accessed?
