    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 Jim, hi folks. Try this procedure: 1 - Make sure that everything is visible. Show all layers and unhide all. 2 - Orbit, pan and zoom to get all of your model inside the model window. 3 - Select all (CTRL-A). This will select all the model and, normally, the invisible text object. 4 - Press and hold the SHIFT key down to allows adding/subtracting from the selection. 5 - Do a window select of all the model. This will unselect the model but shall keep that elusive text object as selected. 6 - Press the Delete key. If you have the Model info --> Statistic window open while doing this, you shall see if the number of text objetcs decrease by one. Alternatively, you may try to select the model, hopefully without the elusive text object, copy it and paste it in another empty file opened into another instance of SU. If it works, delete the old file and rename the new one. Just ideas.

    Hey, so it took a day longer than I expected, but I got this plugin updated finally. Here is the plugin thread where you can download it at: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=23517 Once I verify that this new version is working on PC and Mac, I think I might send email it over to the folks at logitech. See if they are interested in doing a little write-up on it or anything. I think it does add value to their line of 3d mice. Chris

    If anyone wants to try the Panoramas, the latest versions of IRender nXt have the panorama feature. You can download a trial version from: http://www.renderplus.com/htm/download.htm One of the IRender nXt users, Boothy, has posted a number of Panoramas on his web site.

    @mac1 said: @thomthom said: I'd do what remus suggest. I often set up "working scenes" in my models. Scenes that only changes axis location, or layer visibility etc. Not as elegant as the scene approach but, maybe a working solution for you. The section plane can be moved and rotated and, you can align view to that plane. Sorry tomthom pick the wrong box this should have been for pete

    @mac1 said: @artichoke1 said: I seem to have a problem when working with large models that an invisible "section plane" in front and parallel with the camera face slices into the model whenever I try to view a detail close-up. This is terribly frustrating, as it is nearly impossible to manipulate small details from a distance. Anyone else have this problem? What is the solution? Thanks. try this http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36261 Excellent. Thank you very much.

    Update— It's a mystery, but what was not working for me last night is working this morning. I am able to turn off sections by turning off their layers. When I update the scene it stays updated. Operator fatigue, overheated computer, I don't know what was the issue. Thanks anyway, Jim

    Hi Sheir, hi folks. Very good result for a first animation. The only problem I see, unless my eyes play a trick on me, is that the model seems to float a few centimeters over the ground plane where all the shadows can be seen. For example, there is a gap between the car tires and the ground as well as between the base of the columns and the ground. Try moving the whole model on the ground plane. And, by the way, welcome to SCF and keep up the good work.
