    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!

    That is what I was afraid of. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I am trying to find a job based in part on my ability to model in SketchUp so I may need to invest in the home desktop/media centerI've been wanting. I've always been supporter of Nvidia over ATI anyway. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the heads up Mike. I'm assuming it's all live in person training....are there webcasts also? Personally, they seem like another company who started doing vis-work, mediocre vis work at that, then the recession hit and they decided to go to plan B. I'm not that impressed by their portfolio and I doubt spending $500 would teach me more than 2 or 3 hours on youtube could. Just my opinion.

    I already covered this for 3D trees in V-Ray last week. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=20102 It's the same for cut-outs.

    If you question was about how to round quickly the corners of 2d shapes then you can use the "2d fillet" plugin that you can find here http://www.ohyeahcad.com/download/. Select all the shapes you want than just input a fillet radius.

    I think speed vs. size of model is very important. For large models bring down space navigators speed (most of the time I have it on the 3rd or 4th tick). Oh, and my first klick after opening sketchup is on Camera Mode. Flying around is 100x easier for me this way. Like MuseumMaker said, you'll never ever want to model without it once you get used to it.

    Here is an example (made with RP Tree Maker suggested by Chris above). Load it directly into your SU application (if you browse the warehouse from SketchUp) otherwise if you download it as a file and import it like that, you have to explode the outer shell first. I hope it's not a too complicated description - if you have problems with it, I can rephrase.

    Hi, Thanks for the info, it worked alright but now that i know laptop is not much use for modelling larger models i'm gaining leverage for the boss (herself) to get me a new one!! Anyone got suggestions on which laptop is good for modelling on? That's within €700 or so

    Thanks for confirming. From the model already intersected, I couldn't tell 100% sure (as I mentioned above).

    I did it by hand. I just made one full coil, then copied and pasted it to make a full series of coils. I've never tried any of the helix rubies. They do seem useful though, Chris

    Hi folks. SU cannot close a face when one side is less than 1 mm approx (1/16 inch). Of course, with a 4 mm diameter sphere you will end up with very small facets and these will not close. Simply pretend that your sphere is 400 mm in diameter and then, after you have drawn it, scale it down by a factor of 0.01. Just ideas.

    When V-Ray 2 comes out with Proxy objects this will be very nice. Though, without proxy rendering this would be too much for a scene unless the scene is only a couple of them shrubberies. I really can't wait for VfSU2 so I can use models like that. It looks really good!

    Thank you, I found them. I did take the steps to select the texture in the tool pallette then try to edit it. They still weren't there. I then, uh um, extended the top half of the palette and found them there. Sometimes it so simple, yet so far away. I figured all options in that section would have been displayed. They have been before. They just, just disappeared. Thank you for your advice. Z
