    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

Please tell me it is the PCIE version and not the SATA version, it's much quicker. No, I'm just sticking with the SATA version. Yes, the PCIE is much faster, but it's speed that I don't really need. I do no gaming or anything like that. Just old-fart stuff

    Thanks Dave R. Now that you mentioned it, it could be an outdated extension. I been meaning to do some cleaning in that area. I will start there and see if the crashes stop.

    On a PC the model's backup files [named xxx.SKB], and on MAC [named xxx~.SKP] are saved with the model's xxx.SKP file. The model's Auto-Save files usually get put into a default location... This is set on a PC in: Preferences > File > Models - its default is ../Documents/ On a MAC it is always saved in your: User > Library > Application Support > SketchUp NNNN > SketchUp > Autosave ...folder Named as AutoSave_xxx.SKP ?

    What's the best way to learn SketchUp Shortcut Keys?

    Like this: [image: hHvf_Context_Menu_Shortcut.png] open the group/component and select a face only go to 'Preferences/Shortcuts' and filter on 'select'. grab this bar and drag right to view the full menu item name (you can't modify the Preferences window size itself) select the 'Bounding Edges' item from the list enter your shortcut The main thing to remember is that to add a shortcut for a context menu item, you must be in the specific context that loads it into the context menu flyout (you can check that by right clicking and seeing if your desired item shows up in the flyout: if not, you're not yet in the proper context). Otherwise it won't show up as an option in the 'Shortcuts' list. It's not obvious that it works this way, but once you understand how it works it does make sense. Hope this helps. Doug

    You can view the meshed objects in plan, or elevation view and then use the Autocad command "Flatshot" and it will create 2D a block of what is visible on your screen. Then you can explode the block and delete out any little bits that you don't want. It's still a bit of work, but it's way faster than exploding an entire 3D object and sorting through the garbage that happens when you do that. JP. Bernier Draw! Studio @carrye said: The .dwg I have received are not good at all. They are wire mesh and not only do they have to be gutted but smoothed out. I can only smooth them so far or I end up losing too much detail so I go in and hide lines manually after a certain point. Can 20/20 models be exported as smoothly-curved AutoCAD solids instead of meshes? Is it better to export to .dxf than to .dwg?

    If you wish to control units for areas independently from the model unit, and use 2D Label to assign the text to faces, then you can have a look at FredoTools::ReportLabelArea. [image: yr5X_ReportLabelArea-Labelling.png]

    I may have got the image orientation a bit muddled up on that first model I uploaded. I think Right is Left & vise versa. I now have some little labels to put in the photos with a scale on them. Saves having to remember what photo is what, which I obviously failed to do the first time. It does make it a little less confusing if the photos are arranged correctly....doh! Can also scale more accurately from now on, which also helps with accuracy.Helps to have some ortho photos of it open to use for comparison whilst modelling too. Wasn't really expecting anyone to actually go to the trouble of "the challenge". But here's mine anyway. I think it's pretty close & didn't take too long to build. It's a lot easier when the images are ordered arranged correctly. Might become a texturing challenge next....lol. RockSS007B-SU17.skp

    Cool to see the other ways to "skin this cat" A shout out to Box... I tried to run Solid Tools on the whole text and it threw up an error message, that's why I exploded the text to the individual characters. I wonder if it's a "Mac" thing ?

    I started having an odd thing happen with the new 2018. The inferencing stops working on the red axis every blue moon. The only way to get it to work in session is to use the arrow keys to force it. Restarting SketchUp always solves it. Weird.

    @jakemm said: Update: Ok, it looks to be that because it was a simple model, that's why Sketchup got confused. Once I'd started adding some internal walls, everything magically worked as it should do! Without seeing it. That's what I figured. You can always just add a temporary flat roof or something. SU doesn't know a house from anything else. It's really just set to find some sort of negative space it seems.
