    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!

    Another thing : with the plugin Mover (this is Mover 2 : I have made the animation with Mover 0 ) I believe than you can't see the animation if Mover is not installed mover.skp

    jacequay, Again, thank you. It is now working as I wished. Jeff Hammond, I had previously checked Logitech drivers. However, they do not allow modification of the primary mouse buttons. Thanks to all. Snead

    I had this problem awhile back with a file someone sent to me. It was the same thing. The other person had set Extensions to 0.

    Well, thanks and that's very good news that it ain't nothing to do with SCF. I only saw it that once for awhile, perhaps while another (bad) tab was open. ? . No bad browser extensions found, no such programs installed, but there was an offending cookie, so I blocked the sites in FF. I am mindful of the third party piggyback installs and do not allow, but some others may not be as mistake-proof as I am. @unknownuser said: Mozilla Firefox Extension (XPI): Step 1: Open Firefox, and navigate to Tools -> Add-ons (Ctrl+Shift+A). Step 2: Select Extensions and find the Text Enhance extension, and click disable and remove. How to block the Text Enhance cookie From the Tools menu, select Options In the upper section of the Options window, click Privacy In the Cookies tab, click Exceptions In the new Exceptions – Cookies window, enter Text-Enhance.com and Textsrv.com in the Address of Website field and click Disable [image: kKsW_textserve.com-1.JPG]

    Thanks @ely862me, it was able to be hidden by clicking on it and saying "Hide", easy fix! Strange thing is SP is installed to the plugins folder but no toolbars are present in SU. All components were modeled by me (not taken from 3D Warehouse or online). So I am not sure what the deal is, at least if we can hide it then it should be OK for now. Thanks!

    Hi Jeff I think what you are experiencing may have to do with a bug I ran into recently. Apparently windows and mac versions of sketchup have different ways of measuring text height! Simple test. Create a 3d object on the pc, using arial for example. Note the text height used. Save the file. Open that same file on a mac. Try and recreate the same text, using the previous parameters. Compare. ,!!! No matter what you try, they will not match.

    Subgroups To Layer

    GREAT, thanks a lot TIG, i'll give it a try in a minute @dave r said: Why do you need the subgroups to be on a layer if their top group is on that layer. Turning off the visibility of the top group's layer will have the same impact whether the subgroups are on that layer or not. It's about importing a skp-file to 3ds Max where 3ds splits up all groups with subgroups into seperate objects- and puts them to the layer each group was put on in SU. For toggeling visibility it would have been enough to change the layer of the top-group, you're right.

    Hi folks. Be aware that the Generate Report function works correctly only if you use the dot as the decimal separator and the coma as the list separator. I was set like in many European country, using the coma as the decimal separator and the semi-colon as the list seprator and was never able to generate a usefull report. When doing so, all the info was dumped in only one column. Not very usefull. Just ideas.

    I don't know about Maxwell but it seems to be a bit tricky. Searched Sketchucation and found: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=44406 Maybe that helps. Good luck.

    If you already have a face shape that's part of something else... select the face and Edit>Copy. Now edit another component/group [make it if you need to] and Edit>PasteInPlace the face is duplicated inside this other 'container'. Now you can push pull it in that edit as desired and it's separate from the original geometry. If you want yo 'remove' the original face from its original context and put it inside a component/group you can select it and make the component/group from it and a 'hole' will be left in the original geometry. You can also use Edit>Cut + Edit>PasteInPlace on a face [do not select its edges as that might affect other geometry unexpectedly] to 'move' it into a new container, rather than replicate it...

    I see that from time to time when I'm working on imported geometry - it appear to be some small inaccuracy issue which compound eventually to problematic inaccuracy.

    I have made a few tests where I gradually use the 'outer shell' command to combine chunks of cubes, it works better but the weird 'artifacts' are much higher this way (see new attachment) and I don't think it's a good way to do it :-S [image: AbWL_outhershell2.jpg]

    I only use a fraction of them regularly. I "disable" many, too (renaming the extension or temporarily moving them into another folder) but when one is on the forums too much, often help with those plugins is needed and I keep many active.
