    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!

    @inpro said: exporting DWGs from layout is everything but precise. They don't need to be imprecise. I'd guess it's an incorrect setup that could be fixed. It would be interesting to see a LayOut file that gives you this imprecise export. @inpro said: Thank you for reminding me, I did update my profile: SKP 2022, win7. Thanks for updating.

    There's a few options... Transmutr - https://lindale.io/transmutr Skimp - https://skimp4sketchup.com/ Fluid Importer - https://www.fluidinteractive.com/products/sketchup-extensions/fluidimporter/ Universal Importer - https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2275-universal_importer ...the best, that's another discussion. Fluid is fast though. All can be trialed and the last is free but donating to author is good karma

    [image: Q3U7_Centralpointdetermination-1.jpg][image: pNb1_Centralpointdetermination-2.jpg]Dear David, Thousand apologies, my sloppiness and Sketchup's inferences caused the inaccuracies of my initial central point's graphical determination (see corrected drawing). In a second attachment, the superposition of the original photograph (magenta edge), the yellowish cropped image), the greenish reconstructed uncropped photo show the usefulness of the method. Since I am dealing with 1900 photos, LIDAR and other techniques aren't really helpful here... Many thanks for diving in after so many years!

    @dave r said: I didn't remember so I had to download it again. I just called Joint Push/Pull, made sure it was set to thicken, clicked and released on the surface, moved the cursor, let go of the mouse, typed the thickness, pressed Enter. Click on the picture. [attachment=1:3hfjd8zx]<!-- ia1 -->JPP.gif<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:3hfjd8zx] Yeah, that's kinda what I did. But it was easier to just pull from the bottom. Thanks for your help. [image: EoWw_SS.jpg]

    @cstewart said: @dave r said: What extension exactly? What exact version of SketchUp 8? Version 8.0.15158. So with that version you'll need to do as TIG indicated and download the .rbz file, change the extension to .zip, extract the contents maintaining the file structure and then add that into the Plugins folder. Then quit and restart SketchUp. It's too bad you didn't update to the latest version when you had the chance. Installing extensions was made much easier as TIG described. Please complete your forum profile with SketchUp version, operating system, etc. That information helps us help you.

    @correy said: I'm assuming tags are the new layers? Yes. Layers are now called Tags. As with Layers, tags are applied to the groups/components in the model. @correy said: I was just trying to show a two scene animation of a tenon entering a mortise. Same as a drawer in and out. Will give it a go, mahalo. Good deal.

    It also sounds like you've assigned tags to geometry (edges and faces) which is not good practice. Only objects (components, groups, labels, and dimensions) should get tags. Edges and faces should be created AND remain untagged.

    Uncheck Merge Coplanar for the DAE import... [image: H9piLYC.png] Or use Thomthoms Quad Face Tools OBJ importer which support Blender quads and UVs. A better solution is Fluids Importer which is not only faster but also respects UVs and can do poly-reduction too.

    Rich - thank you for re-creating and posting your file. However, it gives me the same result that I am trying to resolve. I want to drag a text label off any of the groups within the parent and that text label must display the name of the parent, not the name of the group within the parent from which the text label is anchored to. I suppose the only solution is to have an unobtrusive unnamed object, such as a guide point, within the parent to attach my text label to.

    with a recent SU subscription licence tied to an email address (and not the discontinued classic licence w/ serial data): if resetting all devices via the Trimble AMP ("My Products > SketchUp Pro > ...") as well as logging out, closing/restarting SU, logging in fails, you may want try to delete the according SU license status file "login_session.dat" from: • Win: C;\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 20##\SketchUp\ • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp20##/ ("Finder > Got To...") w/ the recent user name for "<User>" (Win) and the appropriate version numer for "20##"

    Have you reached out to Lumion staff with your issues? They have been super helpful for me in the past when I ran into hardware issues. I do not have any special settings that I have done with my GPU. Pretty much the default settings. if I remember correctly I just asked the lumion forum for advice on specific settings for my gpu and followed their diections to just change one or two setting to either off or on. I was not having any issues when I asked and did not see any changes in performance when I adjusted the settings. I would Highly recommend reaching out to the Lumion staff. p
