    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!

    That's fair, it was just a bit confusing, your "Noobyness" comment suggested that you may have simply downloaded the models and therefore had no real understanding of sketchup, rather than just a gap in your knowledge.

    You won't get the horse power out of a laptop that could get from a desktop, but an ideal 3D system would be running 2x Xeon processors and the best Nvidia Quadro you can afford. You might want to make sure that your settings are optimized for 3D graphics.

    Bump. I think back to the days of model challenges for Halloween and Christmas--which I enjoyed a lot but I don't think I ever felt good enough to join in. Maybe folks would like to make some Christmas cards and share them. Maybe we'll put snow on our current clients' house models for the Holidays and share with them (though the houses will be in California).

    do you mean you wish to see two different folders at the same time? like this on a mac...[image: YSh3_2014-10-1604.03.30pm.png] also I know on mac you need to create a User path 'Components' folder for SU to auto load them... if you don't actually use Dropbox for sharing, move all the folder to the User/Components, or link the content so SU can find them. john

    Using the Upload Attachment can you upload the actual model if it isn't too big?

    Thank you all for the advice. Rich - Well, I'm always being told I'm stubborn! At last it might pay off! Nemerobis - You're probably right, but I don't want to purchase & have to learn a third program just now. I have looked at Blender too - but another (difficult) learning curve. Hellnbak - Good idea, I'll look for those programs. Personally, I like to read a manual read, hence going for the tutorial e-books. Cars are not exactly my passion but a great deal of my business is indirectly for Mercedes-Benz so it would be an advantage. PS. looking forward to seeing the moon buggy!

    @krisidious said: select that plane you created. right click on the face and choose intersect with model. this will create the slice of geometry you want. Before you do this, you should group that face and do the intersection in the context of that group. This way, you can be sure that nothing else gets affected by the intersection.

    I have a similar problem. I built a new machine, changed from a 660 TI to a 270x graphics cards, which are neck and neck in performance. But on my new machine, SketchUp looks horrible. Ive got the latest drivers, hardware acelleration and nothing else checked in preferences, with the highest quality selected. Tried other threads like here like http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=57614%26amp;p=524089%26amp;hilit=Anti+Aliasing#p524089 except I didnt try the registry delete thing,Im a bit nervous about doing that. Anyone had anything similar happen to them, and where they able to fix it? I should say Im using Windows 7 64 bit in both cases.

    @twdant said: .........I keep having an issue where only the innermost plane will actually cut, the others make lines on the geometry where the cuts should be, but don't actually cut and hide the material on the opposite side of the plane. It seems like this might be a bug because the material that should be hidden is not clickable. I've attached a screen dump picture for reference....... I can't make anything of the uploaded file. But in general, see if you have mirrored groups or components with section planes inside. They won't work like they are supposed to, this is a bug. Top level or nested, doesn't matter. It's that section planes just do not work properly inside the grouped environment. The wrong side is visible but not selectable while when being in editing context all seems to be correct. See if this applies to your situation.

    I switched hardware acceleration off briefly and didn't notice the effect... but anyway, I started noticing a couple other weird graphical issues outside of SU, so I figured it was a graphics driver issue. I had already tried updating the driver, but this morning I did a full wipe and reinstall of it, and it seems to have worked. Thanks for your help, Dave.

    Oh well sorry If I upset you. Could you pop back when you have a minute and delete the threads that you think you have already deleted so that other people don't start replying to them too. Just a heads up, posting in the General Discussion forum actually limits the number of people who see your question as it only visible to premium members and above. So for a wider audience unrelated to premium issues you are better off in a different section.
