    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!

    Default material for a component

    @gaieus said: When you save the component only from the model, right? Like right click > Save as...? True - I can see the same (never thought of this so far) but I think this is how it should work. By saving a component, you only save the component definition into a new file, i.e. what "defines" the component (everything but only that is inside). Imagine you have a bunch of instances of the same component - some are painted this or that way (from outside), some are scaled or flipped - which one would you "save as..." if you, for instance, do it from the component browser (where there is only one definition of them)? All in all, whatever we do with a component "from outside", is only part of the model it is used but not part of the component itself. I was afraid of this! I'm building furniture from melamine faced boards with banded edges and I wanted to make basic panels with default face material and default banding material which I can chance according to the progect. But CutList plugin gives a panel material based on the "from outside" material of the component. So I gonna deal with layers again.

    Yeah, they don't have a centimetre template to begin with so I am already used to start with this every time I encounter a new SU version (BTW have you seen the new SU version? )

    Yup - practically you can use a (single) license on any number of computers - just of course, not simultaneously. Network licenses are indeed "tricky" from this point of view (but I understand you use a single license anyway)

    I cannot say for sure, but traditionally, colons and semicolons are not "legal" characters to use in file names. Anssi

    I found a way - just open the component for editing and then draw the guides inside that component, close it and then paste

    The thing is the format, while relatively new, is used by some of the biggest 3d users in the world. I'm not talking about 3d visualization as is common here. I'm talking about Boeing, Siemens, Intel and the likes for sharing their huge amounts of 3d data.

    If you don't plan to render it, you can use Morisdov's "Video on a SketchUp face using textured material": http://morisdov.googlepages.com/

    @anssi said: @unknownuser said: SU seems to be very persnickity about drivers too. May be that when you try 6 or 7 that it might help to update your video card driver as well. On the other hand sometimes the newest drivers aren't the best so if that still doesn't help you can post to see who else has your video card and see what driver they're using. -Brodie My other PC has an old ATI All-in-Wonder card with a driver I downloaded when I bought the card. I wouldn't dream of upgrading the driver that has now run all SU versions from ver.3 OK (if I keep Fast Feedback off). I have tried to keep the "if it works, don't fiddle with it" rule. Anssi If you're one of the few lucky folks who's got an ATI card running SU with any degree of stability then I'd say you're spot on to leave it the heck alone! You've got someone up there looking out for you -Brodie

    problem solved... Michalis was so kind to explain to maybe. I was a bit wrong about OBJ not supporting uv maps. I'll explain the workflow quickly here for people who are intrested: unwrap your object in Modo. make an texture in gimp/photoshop. apply it in modo. export to OBJ. import in blender. export as 3ds in a different folder with the texture in the same map. Remember 3ds files can only contain 3-5 letters. import into SU
