    V8.0 is released https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=2Dtools Or via the ExtensionStore dialog. It fixes a glitch with v2026 whereby some MAC users could not get the TAB key press/up to work to open dialogs in some tools, and some PC users had to press/up 4 times to make TAB work. But <=2025 users had no issues. I've now improved the onKeyUp methods to optimize TAB use in v2026, but it can still be flaky for some users. including me needing 4x press/up! So as an additional option I've added one press/up on the Shift key which will also open the dialogs, in certain tools like LineStyle and Hatching. The Help pages explain this dialog opening more fully. Please try and report back issues...

    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!

    SpaceClaim seems like a better version of SketchUp But too pricey!

    Hi I know that this is old theme but the problem is still here. I try to rend file and same error183/ temp file error and so is showing. One of my decision was to install older Google sketchup 7 and it helps but not every time. Next I have to rend the scene as animation and don't want to thing what problems I'll have. So any decisions? Thank you.

    Thanks for the responses. I think I will draw in the lines. I didn't mention that the reason I didn't want to do the intersect command is because the potential of adding a lot of geometry, like ''beginner' mentioned. I was hoping there was something in the styles command that I didn't know. Cheers, have a great weekend.

    @tig said: No screen-shot ? In the first post. The group of the cylinders inside the rectangle. My english is very bad, sorry I'll search some plugin. Thanks TIG. Jean Lemire: Thanks for the explanation. I know this method. My doubt is about to align groups, like in my first post. It seems is necessary some plugin.

    @cmarievb143 said: When i export the animation i have set up it doesn't export the full animation... only half of it. Is there a setting i am missing? or could my animation be too long? any ideas? A couple of things; Are all your scenes selected to be in the animation? How are your exporting it? .avi or Images? How big is your model? Can you post it for us to take a look? Does it take a long time export?

    The point is that inference does not work for dimensions. I miss that too. Its much easier to dimension without using guidelines, like in Autocad.

    have a look under prefrences and open GL, make sure high quality textures are off and also if hardware acceleration is on, turn it off, or off, on. Finally are you trying to pan with shadows on? the model moves faster with them off.

    I think you have to align your hinges on the same axis , then take the protractor and place it in the center of a hinge's bolt and rotate. It should do the job ! Take care ! [image: IrHl_1.jpg] [image: iD16_2.jpg] [image: X64g_3.jpg] [image: CpJz_4.jpg]
