@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!

Images into a Movie?

@mark said: I downloaded Virtual Dub, but am a bit overwhelmed with the amount of options. And the one series of images that I did manage to make into a movie clip was about 1.5 gigs. compared to 20 mgs coming out of Movie Maker. Obviously I am doing something wrong. Any suggestions? I assume that you haven't used any codec when assembling the video...?! The Cinepak codec by Radius, is perhaps the safest choice of codecs for general usage... Cinepak's main advantages are that the codec is already installed on most machines, and that it can play video reliably even on older machines such as Intel 486 computers... Its disadvantage is that, when compared to other codecs, it tends to produce lower quality and larger file sizes... You can get free codecs at Codec-Download.com... Also - you need to make sure that you're using an appropriate output size as well as using an appropriate FPS setting... To get a smooth animation I recommend that you use 24fps... (Expert setting 23.98fps European PAL – 29,97fps full NTSC) Resolution should be set to 768x576 You can read much more about proper video settings on the Internet http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/conversion/

Rather buy the Smustard plugin, it pays for itself by the second time you need to use it.

I've had similar problems using download managers, most of the time they work, but sometimes all they do is frustrate. If you try downloading without a download manager it will work fine.

We haven't even had snow this winter but the sun is shining at the moment. I haven't even turned on heating yet (the adapter of the lappy is nicely warming my feet under the desk) So where are those icicles?

Whilst it's sometimes quicker just to double click, if the faces you are push-pulling are all painted with the same material, or all on the same layer, you can firstly right click one face and select all faces with same material/layer, then use JPP. It's then only a two step operation and very fast. Kenny

I have a script which I used in V6, and since loading V7 it has stopped working properly, and I was trying to run it in the console to see if I could find out where it was breaking.

I've been using it on a current project, it was working fine but now the gml texturizer window won't open and it crashes SU quite alot. I've tried reinstalling it but it still does it. Crashes SU7 too. There are no installation notes on their website. Good app though when it works.

I just got a program from here http://www.kissmyimage.com/en/download/ It will keep the pixel size of an image the same but reduce the file size to one you input. I am using it for panoramas on virtual tours and it is amazing. I am dropping files from 3mb to 900kb without any noticable difference. There is a free version with a very small water mark. Full version is cheap. I highly recommend this, the people on the panorama forums say it is way better than what PS can do.

@richcat said: Thanks - I was beginning to wonder. I tried importing the same brick texture into 6 and 7 with same sized squares, but created separately in each version and got the following result below or am I missing something when importing Is this what your getting I'm guessing that the change is so textures are imported more closely to real size. Most of the times when I imported textures in SU6 they where much too small. ..but that's just pure guesswork... But in your examples the textures at least appear to be proportional.

Thanks Scott for the heads-up - indeed a strange issue but it's good to know in case someone gets into the same trouble! (I cannot comment on the Vray part of it )

I think it would work fine. I've used sub/smooth plugin on some cartoon characters. here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=13476 and http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=9859 Solo has a ton of them at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=9675 Teezer's Raptor is here. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=9920 and Coen has a sculpture and tutorial here. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=9148 These aren't buildings but might give you some techniques for the sub/smooth plugin. I think kwistenbiebel has a thread on an interior and an exterior in which he used the sub/smooth plugin on, and MonsterZero has a video on how he uses plain sketchup as a polymodeler. I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with.

It only shows up if you have plugins installed and or enabled. Go to Preferences and look for Extensions. Then turn on everything in there. One of those is installed in the plugins menu, and will therefore add it. Otherwise just copy all your plugins from 6 to 7 and the menu will appear on its own. Chris

Thanks modelhead. Are you familiar with the Trim feature in CAD? If so do you know how to do this in SU. It seems in SU that if you make a mistake and try to change it later it causes more of a problem and ends up deleting more than you want.
