    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!

    Hi folks. If the arch is a regular arc, you can use a radial copy using the Rotate Tool. Just ideas.

    For unzip some files in the same time use this But normaly CTRL + a --> Extract here in a folder must extract all zipped files in one pass ! With WinRar there is no problem! But if some files have same names better extract in separated folder (asked by WinRar)

    WHat you really probably want to use is something like the subdivide and smooth plugin. Solo has a lot of incredible work shown here on the forums where he makes cartoon characters using that plugin. TRy to dig through the gallery for solo's posts about subdivide and smooth.

    Cheers for that So when seeking seamlessly smooth frames per second , SU is bottlenecked at the CPU at a far greater level than at the GPU level. And that ATI has now improved. Btw, I ended up getting a i7-950 and 460m nvidia sli workstation laptop.

    Beware. Bomb.rb can be undone via Edit>Undo but if you make any modifications to geometry after running it, those modifications will need to be undone before you can undo the bomb action. If you explode a component so you can edit it, you lose the power of editing all the like components in the model because the exploded one is no longer related to the rest. It is just a lump of geometry. A better way to edit components is to open them for editing either by right clicking on the desired component or double clicking with the Select tool. Then perform the editing operation. If there are other instances of the component in the model, they will get the same editing which wouldn't happen if they are all exploded into loose geometry. And there's no risk of modifying unrelated components because they can't be changed while another component is open for editing. I know what you mean about bartering. It's easy to get the short end of the stick. Good luck.

    @oneturboneeded said: Ok now i have my 4 groups extruded by rails how do i combine into one group eliminate the lines between groups and smooth? Im just getting lazy now that you are all so helpful and guide me strait to the right operation but im learning lots thanks. Select the 4 groups [hold down Ctrl to add to a selection, Ctrl+Shift to remove from selection and Shift to toggle in/out of selection!] Self right-click context-menu 'Explode'. Everything remains selected, immediately right-click context-menu 'Group'. Everything is now in one group. Select that group and right-click context-menu 'Smooth' - adjust the settings in the dialog that opens so it's smoothed. If there are an edges that won't edit the group and smooth using Erase+Ctrl OR if that fails hide them using Erase+Shift... As you have only made a 'half' you can them copy the group to one side ans Scale it -1 about Y/green so it flips. Move the two groups so they snap together correctly, when you are happy Select both groups and Explode, re-Group, and re-Smooth as before.......

    OK, Its related to drawing with "Spaces" in 3d using the extrusion option for each space ... See attached drawing for example of what I have setup below... Using property sets and property data format options iv created a multi-view block to use as a tag for each "space" block ... which would generate the following information for each space ... Footprint: - [Automatic from Space] Floors: - [Building Height] / [Floor Height] Floor Height: - [Manual Data Entry] Building Height: - [Automatic from Space] GFA: - [Footprint]*[Floors] **All was well until I realised that its not quite perfect system ... What I would love is:** Floors - Manual Entry Floor Height - Manual Entry Building Height - [Floors] * [Floor Height] Footprint - [Automatic from Space] GFA - [Footprint]*[Floors] ..... Does anyone know if this is possible ... Chris GFA TEST.dwg

    Cheers, so it is a known bug of sorts? I thought I was doing something at first by accident but it just kept happening. I will keep an eye out for that and try to avoid minimizing. Maybe its worth taking off autosave as I am used to saving often anyway thanks to using in house tools.

    This thread seems to deal with the same issue (amongst other things): http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14353&p=108605 It seems not, which is annoying. I'm going to see if Layout can do something for me.

    @gaieus said: Edson, Was the texture not applied to a back face (and on the front face inside the wrong one)? That would explain also (and probably explain why your workaround worked). csaba, it surely could. I was using this and other context elements from several older projects thus I do not remember when I modeled that. one of the things I did was to reverse the face before trying the other steps.
