    @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!

    Obviously the file itself needs some bytes (save an emty one to see how much) and additionally, the info about where, what size, how rotated etc. of the individual instances are also takes up some space. Obviously, with more complex components, the "profit" is bigger.

    I usually make my parking lines 100mm wide by say 5500mm long and construct one of them using the rectangle tool.... I then fill the rectangle with White..... then I copy the White filled recatangle to create each of the carparking spaces and then soften (hide) the black lines. You are then left with a 100mm wide white line with no black line borders. Seems to work well but it can be tedious if you have a very large carpark. Cheers, Gareth

    Thanks Ron I have had a look at it. It looks complicated and I am not sure I fully understand it, but I've saved it and will study it. Thanks again. Paul

    When you print a vector PDF, either by clicking on the "use high-accuracy HLR" option in the Print dialog, or by exporting a PDF via the Export>2D Image function, the SU view is exported as a 2D image with vector lines and flat-colour fills. It seems to me too that no settings in the shadow settings dialog, like the light and dark sliders, or the "use sun for shading" have any effect on the darkness and colours of the generated fills. I don't know if it is a bug, or just a feature lacking... Anssi

    I have often wondered why a shadow couldn't be expressed as a material. I think you're on to something here, Tim. I'm sure the SU gurus have pondered this, yes?

    gai and dan, i apologise for my moment of stupidity. of course i know the move/copy sequence but somehow i totally forgot the control+C way. what i was probably after is something like there is in vectorworks: control+D duplicates the object and leaves it on the same spot. then you can move it by a specific distante through a dialog box. but one can do basically the same with move/copy. sorry and thanks.

    When you are exporting to 3ds...or anything else for that matter...you need to go into the export options (small, hiding-in-plain-sight button on lower right of export dialog box)and uncheck the Export stand alone edges box. You should only need to do this once.

    AndyC, I experienced the same with ATi HD 2xxx series cards... not the best solution to use with SU... For my new machine I chose a Nvidia Quadro (FX2500 / 512MB). It works perfectly for SU.

    Well thanks guys, I really thought I had tried that before, but I never did because I thought it always would say "Save As" instead of "Save Link As". For some reason i thought that "Save Link As" would save the internet address. Thanks again. I should have known better.

    Get another mouse for your laptop. One laptop friendly mouse is the Logitech VX Nano cordless laser mouse http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3271&cl=us,en. On the downside, it needs batteries and forward/back buttons work with the index finger instead of the thumb. On the plus side is the stubby USB dongle, small size, and the Set Point software to control its features. You can assign SU keyboard shortcuts to its programmable buttons. The software even has a plugin http://www.mstarmetro.net/users/rlowens/uberOptions/ for more control options. I have the MX Revolution pictured in the uberOptions page. It's larger than the Nano and has rechargeable batteries. Sales and rebates can knock down the price 20-30 USD on both.

    Hi Jean, I know the file is supposed to be under Help>Self Paced Tutorials. All I have there are the 3 intro videos above the separator line. I'll try an "erase and replace" and see what happens. Thanks.

    I have ran both SU6 and Leopard together since the initial release. I have had no problems... even on my antiquated mac. I'm an early adopter, living dangerously... hasn't bitten me yet.

    I think my drivers may have been the problem. I had v6, latest version was v14. And it seems to be handling a 16MB model rather easily now. Thanks!
