    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!

    Well, if I remember correctly, you can turn off Hardware Acceleration in SU's OpenGL Preferences although that option was removed at some point.

    Hi - To add one ore more files (jpg, skp,...) press "Post a reply" directly here as you have already done it so far. In the reply input window please scroll down a little bit and use the options shown in the added screenshot. (JPGs, for example, get displayed in your post as an image directly, while SKPs get only displayed as a file attachment then. Using the Preview button will show you the appearance of your post) By the way: if you post a SKP, please remember that it is useful to save the file back to a significantly older SKP version - this will allow significantly more participants here to help if necessary since not all members here use a new SkUp version [image: Aq79_selectafile.jpg]

    Someone had this same question recently. They were exploding the image after importing it, too. If you don't explode it, the image will show when the component is open for editing. I showed this as an example. [image: khLX_Screenshot-12_30_20207_28_27PM.png] It's puzzling to me that users feel the need to explode images after importing them. If it's not going to be used as a texture there's no need to explode it. If it is going to be used as a texture, it makes more sense to import it as a texture in the first place.

    Yeah I'm sure gtx 1050Ti does the job. I looked more into it and it seems you're correct. My Cpu's 3rd thread hangs around %80 and goes to %100 sometimes so that's probably the issue here. Anyways thank you

    WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? DOES PRO VERSION PRINT TO SCALE?

    There are simple steps outlined above to print to scale directly from SketchUp but why the heck would you do that if you have SketchUp 2021? It's a whole lot easier to do this with LayOut. In SketchUp, set the camera to Parallel Projection, select the appropriate standard view, zoom extents, and create a scene. Save the file. Open LayOut. Select the desired paper size. Insert the SketchUp model. Set the scale as desired. Drag the edges of the viewport if needed to show the entire model. Print or export to PDF. If you want better quality linework in your output, select either Vector or Hybrid render for the viewport before you export.

    @box said: The query tool might be what you are after. https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/94cdac27-351a-45c6-9059-ea71d72dcc41/utilities-tools Yes, I use it often. What I'd like is the output of the query tool to stick around just like the output of the text tool does.

    Origin loss with points and DWG export / Import

    Sometimes I do preserve the origin if it seems to help bring the raw DWG file into the SU workspace. It really just depends on the file I am sent-- sometimes they are way out in outer space, sometimes not. I did find a workaround in the survey software I am using though.. If I import the DWG file, I can just create a point on the geometry of a known point that I know should line up with one of the imported points from the CSV file.. Once both sets of data are imported and misaligned, I can use an option to reposition one the imported points to the newly created one, thus aligning both of the data sets (point cloud and DWG geometry). Thanks for you help. It does give me a clearer understanding of the origin point that I did not have before today. Ive been using this for surveying for quite some time, but this was the first time I was using actual GPS collected State Plane Coordinates in lieu of just creating all of them locally in SU. Ive been using a traditional Total station and or robot, but the introduction of new GNSS system threw me for a loop and forced me to explore areas of the software Ive never had to. Made my brain stretch.. Thanks again.

    Fredo6's - Fredo Scale plugin should do this using the Radial bending tool. You will find it in the Plugin Store along with plenty of guidance on using it. I would suggest making a copy of the roof element as a spare before starting. Good luck!

    Thanks juju, Wanted to see if you had a good experience with them. I also remember Chipp also saying that he liked their products and had used them on his 'Alamo' project. I downloaded the trials for both Sketch FX and AO yesterday and played with them a bit. I'm planning to pick up FX for sure, but I'm finding using AO in combination with FX taxes my poor old 2014 13" MacBook. The output looks fantastic though. @juju said: I'd hardly say I was active there, probably a handful of posts, if that many. 'Active' is relative of course — in a forum that doesn't have much activity! (You had posted enough times to indicate that you were a user of their plugins.)

    Thanks. Installed that (which I've used on 2017) before finding the old ruby. "Erase Stray Edges" works the same way. So far installing plugins in SU 2021 has been relative a piece of cake. Including the payware without even having to re-register any licenses. @dave r said: You might want to have a look at Thom Thom's CleanUp3. It can clean up more than just unneeded edges.
