    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!

    Oh, sorry, I wanted to link to Fredo's and didn't even check the link just copied it. The one I linked to creates surfaces (or grids) based on bezier curves. Great script, too!

    well, maya has quite a good documentation too. and you can literally do anything with it. but the lord of the rings seems a a short magazine compared to this huge manual I love the ammount of control maya gives you though. seperate control over faces, edges, whole curves, or vertexes, together with loads of different snap modes. that is really some nice programm. but by the time you are able to create simple objects, you will design complicated shapes with SketchUp...

    Yeah, also the drape tool. One can never spare some investigation in glitches and some hand work on the model.

    @brokenstaral said: ...in fact i find the section-cut ruby isn't as much useful as i had expected... It is (or can be) indeed very useful. True it is mainly useful for a SU output but keep in mind that section cuts cannot be exported into any rendering apps. SectionCutFace actually creates a group which (or the different faces of which) you can paint just like any other face OR use it as a "saw" to intersect your geometry and still keep a face after you deleted unwanted geometry. Now this cut cafe can already be exported (otherwise you would end up with hollow geometry and a bunch of back faces that export awfully into other apps).

    I think the subdivide & smooth plugin would really help you with this. It's probably the easiest way of building complex organic shapes.

    @spence said: Thats good information Wo3Dan. Now how did you get the 1.66667 number? Spence, You are pulling my legg aren't you? Anyway. Your input (in the copier) is 1:500. The output needs to be 1:300 which is a larger scale. So you need ?:500 to equal 1:300. What more can I say? (500/300):500 = (1.66666667):500 = 1:300 b.t.w. don't underestimate the SU scale tool features whenever you encounter such a thing in SU. success, Wo3Dan

    Deep exploration has a batch conversion option and it converts .skp to .3ds amongst many other formats.

    I think you have to do the same with the materials, all rather tedious really.

    You can either do that or ask them to send the survey in a simple text file showing the xyz coordinates and then you could use Didier's other script: cloud_v6.rb to create a mesh from the data file itself.

    Also, Jim Foltz made a plugin that "Plots the path of the Sun usinng Construction Points." It may be useful if you are thinking about such things.
