    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!

    @dave r said: You need to install it correctly first. The best thing to do is get the Sketchucation Plugin Store plugin from the link at the top of the page and install that according to the instructions provided. Then use the Plugin store to download and automatically install plugins you want. [size=150:1hqsuuif]Thank You Mr Richards. That did The Trick[/size]

    Trimble & Sketchup 64 bit

    I'll tell you this. Trimble is not getting the money for Pro out of me until it's 64 bit and multithreading. I am sure I am not alone. Let the market decide if it's quicker and let us find out for ourselves if it will quit crashing on humongous projects instead of feeding us all the reasons it won't be. I'm tired of the thing crashing during every thea render and I don't want to break my projects up into pieces old technology can handle, and I'm tired of excuses, and I'm really tired of script writers who don't want to rewrite their scripts for 64 bit. If music and video programs can do it and Thea Render could do it, sketchup can certainly do it. If not for performance, for mere market appeal.

    I think that 'cotation' is used in the sense of 'dimensioning'. One of those -ion words that doesn't translate well from French ! So, you can do it in Layout. In SketchUp you'll need a plugin - see this one... http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=draw_angle_dim

    glenn: 2013 ok and 2014 issues does not mean it is a foregone conclusion the problem is 2014 although probability higher. It sounds like 2014 is waiting from some entity to release its operation such that 2014 can complete the close action. This can be caused by virus, autoruns etc. You would be surprised the number of programs running on you machine. Make sure you graphics driver, antivirus definitions are up to date and run scan of your system. If your security software has the option check auto runs(startups) and stop programs you do not need and also run registry scan. I have not seen this issue with my 2014 but using free so Trimble will probably have problem duplicating issue although they should be able to have you run a program to trap failure using some of the System Internals TS tools.

    @baz said: It might be several things. Show us a screen shot. Or even post the photo itself? One thing that is pretty important for good results is that the photo should be uncropped. Ideally it should also be undistorted if it shows some lens distortions, because SU does not handle eny distortions. If is heavily distorted it will contain curved lines, which will be impossible to align with the straight red/green lines.

    TIG: I have been doing something similar on a component by component basis. The problem is some of my models have 100's of these skewed objects (the example I show is small). Hence, sdmitch has been looking to help solve the problem in mass. The need for doing so is driven by that fact the skewed objects must be detailed in Layout and can not be done so accurately while they are skewed. So the thought was simple...the solution less so. 1.) reset the axis 2.) de-skew 3.) use the Plugin Parts-->Scene 4.) Detail in Layout Step 1 and 2 were taking forever doing them manually so I asked for help in 1.) Asking if I first understood my problem 2.) Seeking alternative existing solutions 3.) finding help in developing a solution for the problem in scale. Seems like sdmitch has a 95% solution. As you can see from his posts, most of the objects are de-skewed with the script he is working on except for nested ones. This is huge and if he solves the last piece it is monumental for me personally. If I had just a few items to contend with I would use the native menu driven solutions. That works fine...but when many model with many items are in this condition the problem is, well...difficult.

    As far as I know, Sketchup has no relation to Active X, and has never had any relation to it, since the display language used is OpenGL for the program. There may be something else going on there. Probably can't hurt to check your graphics card website for updates. EDIT EDIT EDIT: My apologies. I must have been half asleep. Active X is a Windows operating system feature. I was thinking Direct X. Please disregard this whole reply.

    To draw edges between 2 curves (step 5)you could paste this into some Ruby code editor. Untested.. a=Sketchup.active_model;b=a.entities;c=a.selection;d={};c.grep(Sketchup;;Edge).each{|e|if cc = e.curve;next if d.has_key?(cc);d[cc] = cc.vertices.collect{|v| v.position };end};if d.length == 2;crvpt1 = d.values[0];crvpt2 = d.values[1];unless crvpt1.length == crvpt2.length;puts "unmatching points from curves";else;gps = b.add_group.entities;for i in (0...crvpt1.length);gps.add_edges(crvpt1[i], crvpt2[i]);end;end;else;puts "Select only 2 curves, please";end Edit: Compressed it to 1 line for pasting into Ruby consol..

    @rfox said: I was having an installation problem since the day i purchased, I use "regular" Windows 7 Ultimate. email the issue to them, got couple of feedbacks but it didn't seem help. I try to contact them several times....no respond.such a bad developer. at least they give me some good technical explanation regarding the issue. The problem was a know SketchUp problem regarding a dll conflict between Sketchup ruby standard library and zlib1.dll on your windows system. It toke us some time to figure this out because problems with SketchUp and/or the operating system aren't always easy to find and to solve because they have nothing to do with our code. In this case the problem was also not reproducible on our own windows system. When we found the problem and the solution I've send you a mail about the solution like it was logged in the Sketchup beta forum. The solution had nothing to do with our code. Apparently you were not able to solve the problem yourself. After your complain on sketchUcation we contacted you again to do a join.me session and solved your problem even it wasn't a Skalp problem at all. But we like to keep our customers happy. I hope you can now enjoy Skalp like it's meant to be. The Skalp Team.

    Cotty,where was that?(Edit-Obviously in the sight!) I made the edges coplanar, put it didn't closed. (Edit I have had another go on it, and it worked ...) I wonder sometimes, how can one achieve such a faulty model. Since there are some other open faces that won't close I would advice you to remodel the part entirely. Since it is a symmetric model, I would use follow me tool to recreate it. [image: DxRB_partneededbottomcleared-fixed.jpg]

    Fix problems tells me there are repeated edges, but nothing else. I fixed them. The splats are not frequent anymore. They are not regular enough to test plugins.
