    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!

    Marin, It's important to be as accurate as possible when creating surfaces. The manner your floor displayed (flashing surfaces) suggest geometric problems with its construction. I raised the non-floor surfaces, recreated the ground surface, replaced the non-floor surfaces, and the floor stopped flashing. [image: pY9s_temp.jpg] One rule is to avoid using the line tool to create surfaces (unless the surface is a triangle). When some non-coplanar surfaces are joined, their combined surfaces may take on the appearance of a single surface until you attempt to orbit, or render. When you draw coplanar surfaces, pay attention to the colored axis of the surface that is being drawn. When you have two non-coplanar surfaces separated by a space, and if you draw a surface between them (using each of the original surface end points to create the joining surface), unless the original 2 surfaces are perfectly coplanar, the combined three surfaces may resemble, but not be a proper surface.

    It could be done... Why not PM Didier and ask his advice/help - he's a master at importing .csv data and making geometry AND 'arc' making...

    @unknownuser said: Looks as if I have lost the ability to make components. Recieved the following error code, however, not a bug splash. Google I hope your out there. Thanks in advance for your help. Ken Ken, Unfortunately, this is a very generic error message that is generated by the Windows runtime system, not by SketchUp. It may reveal a bug in SketchUp, but it also may be a configuration problem with your machine. I can try to look into this, but I need a lot more details. What version of Windows? What version of SketchUp? When did the problem start occurring? Have you upgraded the system recently or installed any other applications? (That is important because another application might have accidentally modified the C++ runtime libraries, which would adversely affect SketchUp). Please also provide a specific list of steps to perform that result in seeing the error. If possible, save the model before you perform the action and send it to me in a PM so I can try it on our systems. Thanks, Andrew

    Thanks all... It appears that my new IE8 installation wasn't "all the way" completed. Instead of selecting "Ask me later" with my latest update attempt - I let it "install" the default settings... All working now. Thanks again. But there is some chatter about IE8 and SWF... not applicable here though.

    It might not have been 40 for the stones, but it was considerably more than 10 for each of the textures. and I downloaded this with the standard free SU 5 or 6 and then had to download the components packs separately, I know when I used to go into the textures it was enough textures for each surface to have to scroll down the choices with the scrollbar, and you certainly do not have to scroll down anything with only 10 choices

    Flash, I do not entirely understand your first dilemna; as Toby suggested, could you please post an example or image to illustrate the problem. Regarding your second problem, you can always edit the size of the texture in the Create Material window. [image: 6ryO_CreateMaterial.jpg]

    Oh, that's so true! Every model done (finished or not..) and the model folder is full with every step imaginable of the entire "development history" - for now, a manual process. This autosave configuration is a must have, but I think that it must be integrated with Sketchup. And yes, I too think that crashes are related to certain operations when saving, like plugins.

    Thanks Mitcorb. Hope I didn't confuse too many readers. The only reason I am familiar with this stuff is that I used a solid modeler before switching to SU.

    You DO need Jim's 'Construction Line Tool' ruby that lets you draw construction lines as if they were normal lines. http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2008/02/plugin-construction-line-tool.html Note that if you use the tape-measure tool and start at a vertex and pick another point then it makes a construction line between the points, with construction points at the end... Picking a edge makes the infinite offset construction line...

    Thanks for that Andrew. I can appreciate what you are saying about incremental updates. And clearly folders containing plugins, components, materials, etc are unaffected by updates. Thanks for the great work...always appreciated.

    @chris fullmer said: That British guy is the brilliant Adam Billyard, a regular on the forums (AdamB) And I go back and forth on whether I think SU should implement lots of new features, or leave it to developers, or have rendering, or not, etc. But lightup is definitely one of the great 3rd party apps out there. My vote is for more power to the core and API.
