    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!

    Ah, yes as a developer I can see Rhino's draw. I have FormZ as well and it's taken some time to learn it's way as opposed to SU's way. I do like FormZ's openness to allowing their free and Jr versions to be used for ANY purpose, even commercial. I also like the included tool set missing from SU, stairs, walls, nurbs, etc..

    Hi this is good but first not free and I have lots of sperated roads and connection so not very possible in my case... isn't there a way to just add a form to the edge of a surface?

    When you installed SketchUp, did you right click on the downloaded installer and choose 'Run as administrator' from the Context menu? If not or you aren't sure, close SketchUp and do it now. We're now up to version 2019.3. You might as well download it and update while you are at it. Once you have SketchUp correctly installed, see if you can remain logged in. Do you have a Subscription license or is it the Classic license? Thanks for updating your profile. That kind of info helps us help you.

    Thanks anyway... It's the latest version - I can't see where the error arises... Maybe I'll have to dig out a copy of v8... Although it'd be easier for the OP to update to v2017

    I guess all I can say is good luck. I've seen another example today of a file corrupted beyond recovery because the user was saving his file directly into Drop Box and working on it from there. For files I want to work on with more than one computer, I save them locally and then copy them to a cloud location so they are accessible from the other machine.

    The Standard Views are fixed as is the location of the ground plane. By default the model axes are located such that the red/green plane lays on the ground plane with solid green running off into the distance in the standard front view. While you can change the axis orientation and location, that has no impact on the Standard Views or ground plane.

    Fixed it. The .rb file was pointing to a _loader.rb file in the plugin folder. It's actually a _loader.rbs file. I've informed them. It's still unclear which format will become the standard for AR viewing on smartphones etc....Apple's USDZ or Google's glTF.

    If nothing else works you could try to run this in the Ruby console: Sketchup.send_action 10624 [image: 10115-pasted-from-clipboard-png] A bit down from the middle there is Near, Far and Force That lets you set the clipping planes manually. Beware that this is not an "official" Camera settings panel so be sure to make a backup if you use it. Also you may have to run it again to uncheck/reset this Force clipping planes after.

    Vanishing lines with sketchy styles.....help!

    Another thing to consider when using sketchy styles is that edges that make up curves can often be shorter than the shortest edge stroke. When that happens, the curves tend to disappear as in this example. [image: UUE7_Screenshot-11_13_20199_53_58PM.png] Welding those edges together gets around that problem as shown here: [image: VcPT_Screenshot-11_13_20199_55_01PM.png] The easiest way I've found to do the welding is with Eneroth Auto Weld which welds any edges that can be welded in the selection. TIG's TIG-Weld is also good.

    The Mac previews are presented by a thing called a QuickLook Generator (QLG). SketchUp started including its own QLG only a few versions ago. It's not clear that it is fully stable - I too sometimes see the generic icon instead of a preview.

    So far it's working really well for me with the whole Dave Method and then using the upright extruder with a thread profile. I'm printing at 0.06MM layer height to get accurate threads but it seems to be working, I managed to match an existing thread for a part I'm trying to replicate out of PETG as the existing is crap.

    Hi, I am using 2016...updated my profile. I just noticed that the only 3 scenes that are exporting are ones that i renamed from their generic Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3, etc. The rest are still named as Scene #'s, but also, I noticed they are in brackets??? (Scene 4), (scene 5), etc.... Which I just dug into further, and now see that means the "include in animation box" is unchecked somehow, obviously by accident. FIXED! Thanks so much!
