    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!

    Could it be a plugin/extension in 2018 causing the issue, that is not in 2020? I would recommend using 2021 if possible. There has been a lot of 'under the hood' improvements with bug fixes etc.

    I still not 100% sure what are you trying to get. Understand: You can drape any object on any surface. If z values are not ok, then adjust the surface

    You can use the 3D Text tool to put text on faces in the model. Keep in mind that it can add lots of geometry and bloat your model file. Or you can use the Text tool to add labels that have leaders anchored to faces.

    When I tried that I was able to open my model file but only in read-only mode. I went to my File Explorer and clicked on it to open and was able to edit the model and save it. Don't have any idea what I did to start. Thanks for the feedback, guys!!

    Naturally I agree with everything slbaumgartner says about assigning tags to edges and faces. I had disabled the recursive part of the plugin as I did not need that. I've been using this successfully over the years. Following recent helpful discussions with slbaumgartner and anotheron the other forum regarding ruby coding, for my personal use, I have reworked the code and wrapped it in modules.

    TIG has such plugins i think. Go to 'PluginStore' here, filter plugins by author (TIG) and read descriptions.

    @bruorlando said: I've once run into something similar - not being able to save files .styles I use Sketchup For MAC and what I have found out was a sort of bug-ish: I normally use the LIST VIEW for my style window. That was the problem. I dont know why, but SU won't save any style if the window is with LIST VIEW... I just switched to LARGE ICON view and it worked. How knows?... It might work for you as well. I had this problem for ages. You nailed it! Thanks! It is working perfectly.

    ... again an other simple playing with geometry, done with a set of equal cube-components (21 x 21) and it´s transformation options. Here again using Alexander Schreyer's "Scale By Tools" plugin for their automated pyramid-like distribution. After that I essentially used Julia Eneroth's so cool plugins "Random Select" to form random groups, which I made unique each time and "Erode" to achieve any "rocklike" appearance. To let the whole thing "wobble" a little bit, additionally Chris Fullmer's "Random Rotate" was used. [+ SketchUp 2017 Make / Enscape] [image: YDJ5_RenderHXEnscs2Collage1600.jpg]

    Those CAD entities that are ignored by the importer are not edges. As Kenny indicates, exploding the text converts it to edges which can be displayed in the SketchUp model. TIG has a .dxf importer that can deal with text but you'd need a dxf file instead of dwg.

    What graphics card in the new computer? There were numerous reports of problems with recent AMD GPUs. If it is an AMD card, go to the AMD site and get their latest drivers and install them.

    I could see an advantage to this for typical details, or details that can be modified for the current projects. Engineers that I work with seem to have a numbering system, almost every detail in the drawing has a number below the title. I think it would be useful if the number included the year it was created or modified, or an abbreviation for the job it was used in, for custom designs. I don't consider it useful in my work, the way that details and drawings are usually one-off. I can find work by saving in the computer under the project name.

    SU MAKE - 17.2 - The newer versions of Sketchup are a little pricey for us non-professionals who don't make a living from it. On the other hand, I have to pay for Photoshop and Illustrator as I do use those to earn.
