    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    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!

    You are not completely clear in your explanation... If you have two Graphics-Cards on your computer, then if you are currently set up to use the 'poor' one, then you need to open the NVIDIA Control Panel and ensure that SketchUp is set to use this better GC under 3d-apps, and also let SketchUp choose its own settings... Having had a major system failure and rebuild has probably meant that your computer's GC settings are set up wrongly...

    @gábor said: @alvis said: Maybe someone knows why I can't export to EDG3D. Version 2017-2019 does not work Hi Alvis, At the moment the EDGE3D server is down due to technical reasons. If it is important to publish your work with EDG3D, please send me your model by PM and I can set it up for you manually. Thank you for your understanding. Hi Gabor i just need to know if this is a temporary problem or if this project is planned to close. Why do I ask? my customers are very happy to be able to view the models in the browser. A very simple and easy process to share a 3d image instead of a model.

    You can access advanced camera settings in SketchUp on the PC and adjust the near and far planes manually. Experiment with those settings. You may be able to reduce clipping but you may also find you create worse problems for yourself. [image: 2u9E_Screenshot-6_5_20208_32_49AM.png] In the Ruby console type Sketchup.send_action 10624 And hit Enter Someone made a little plugin that adds an item in the Camera menu. I disremember who and they didn't put their name on it. Probably TIG is the one to thank. AdvancedCameraSettings.rb

    @tig said: ...What path does the Preferences show for template files ? Thanks Tig for your clarifications and these exactly reflect my preferences. For my custom templates I have set: C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\SketchUp\Templates for the tempates directory. While these "annoying" templates had been actually located here: C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\Resources\en-US\Templates First and 0nly the complete deleting of all the original templates within the program path directory made them disappear from the welcome window.

    Hey LeCorb here with exciting update to the Construction Documents book. These are in fast mode but are great for speeding through the process to stop and view each step. Enjoy!

    Hi, I am having the same problem using USGS DEM files from høydedata. I have tried converting them to UTC projection and save as ASCII dem files in 3DEM, but get the same result as filibis. I have also tried converting GeoTIFF from høydedata with the same method. Have you found anyway around this problem besides using Civil 3D?

    cmd_auto_invisible_layer - When adding a new layer you it doesn't make it visible in every scene. ene_texturepositioning - Quickly change texture orientation with Shortcut Mirror - Self explanatory PutOnLayer_sortname - Easily cleanup someones messy layering in a model SectionCutFace - To create sections that you can then draw on tt_selection_toys - Select only face/edges/hidden lines etc... su_solarnorth - Change north position RoundCorner - Self explanatory TIG-weld - Weld edges together into single edges SU Podium Browser - For models / materials etc... 1001bit_freeware - I only really use the fillet tool on this. But it's really useful.

    @mike amos said: You said "Preferable", not that it was essential. Is this your script? Have you self promoted? It's preferable because max 2020(21) came with a new skp importer which in some aspects was worse than the old one. However, I just can't predict all PEBCAK scenarios. How often do you use SU\Max combo? It's odd you are not familiar with this error (could be easily googled BTW). The plugin is it's not mine of course- I'm too dumb for scripting. I'm just extremely appreciated to the author of the tool which solves astronomical quantities of problems.

    Look in Finder. It should be able to show you the last saved date/time for the file.

    Splines Beziers gives the maximum smooth surfaces for a less number of points! I have many Right Clicks on a curve on Contextual write BZ - ... for convert etc... I suppose that in Fredo Bezier Splines or in Fredo SPline or in Fredo Tools in any case load all that! Advantage of Extrude Tools by Tig is the facility! And you can keep curves for next neighbour patch! You can also look some modelings of Jo-ke! He had modelize objects like your! And don't forget to inspect your curves by the Fredo Tools (Lonely vertices)

    Clipping plane extension does not resolve the problem, (bought it) which has actually become a problem just recently with the 2020 SKP update. I mean, yes this has always been in SKP, but recently it's absolutely impossible to work, I have no idea what has happened.... Could it be anyhow problems with personal templates or file settings...? I have noticed that some files work better when I copy and paste them into the older templates I used before. p.s. it's clear for me that itis something in the SKP templates I used. Since I have restored some older ones and use them, it's +/- "fine" again.... but still very disturbing..
