    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!

    Fixed it. If I extrude the face by a cm or two, then apply the texture, it works. Then using the push/pull tool, push the face back to it's original height/ position.

    Hi Antonino, It will be interesting to see how you get on with Multitouch. I see that the app producer, Will Henderson, has a good sense of humour also. http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think-about-you-i-touch-my-cell/ I must add it the the List of Mac App that I have goinge here.

    Hi Sildeman, Have a look at some of the car modelling basics among these tutorials: http://www.sketchucation.com/intermediate-tutorial-index/ Indeed, such "organic" shapes are not easy in SU but with some prectice, you can get ever better. Also, here is a tutorial about placing 3D text on a curved surface - you will get the basic idea and from there on, can do it on any kind of surface: http://www.sketchucation.com/creating-3d-text-on-a-cylinder-in-google-sketchup/

    Hi Poonam, This is definitely not a LayOut question. Edit - are you referring to the QHull plugin by the way?

    I don't know guys, If the edges all around the end of this shape coplanar, you should just select them and do a regular offset without any further hassle and plugins. [image: au9U_Offset.jpg] Now if they are non-planar, make an intersection with a flat face and do it afterwards. Another way would be to fill in that face first (just redraw a segment on the perimeter - again, only if the end edges are coplanar) and then do the offset. [image: oo8v_Offset2.jpg]

    @chris fullmer said: Your color is not a color at all though, its a material. Right? That's new to me if it is. I'll need to investigate. Chris Yes Chris... this is actually the trick! The color can be a material! And just in this second i have some ideas about how this feature can be exploited.

    Yea - File size isn't a good scale for a "light" component. Textures alone can make a simple model be very heavy in file size - since they store the original size - not the 1024x1024 that SU actually use. Max 100Kb & 1000 faces? (Maybe a couple of thousands more?) What's it's going to be used for?

    @thomthom said: Have you purged the model? Yes, even if all geometry is deleted from the model space, used components, materials and even styles can add considerable amount of Mb's to it until you purge everything.

    @khai said: thanks for suggesting slicer, but thats not what I'm looking for.. it's good, but I need 1 slice put exactly where I need it.. TIG, I think Khai is looking for your SectionCutFace Ruby script. Did you forget one of your own precious creations? This is what it does.
