    @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!

    @alexschreyer said: I still think that the DXF ... export should be baked into SketchUp Make... neverever, with the the key difference (= DXF/DWG data exchange) between Make and Pro removed and already lots of users using Make commercially this would probably have a big impact on Pro sales... au contraire, strip down or better discontinue the Make version.

    I can see partial automation but, for total automation, you might look at ValliArchitects Instant Roof.

    I think if you are trying to duplicate what the Leica laser is doing, you would need to "replicate" what the laser does automatically. The laser must be "fixed" in place and "shoots" let's say target #1on a wall, then pivot the laser tool (vert/horiz/etc) and shoot target #2 on same wall. The laser takes both lengths recorded, and references the angle of pivot to report the "height" (if vert/assuming plumb wall) You could easily do this in sketchup using a fixed point/protractor/tape measure tool, but the distance from the wall and the elevation of the laser tool must be known. (Assuming you are trying to replicate laser info) You likely know all of the above and more, so I think to help answer your question more specifically, can you provide a simple example of what you are attempting? (Is this for something like photo match?) Best regards, Charlie

    Differences in SketchUP 8 Pro Layout & 2017 Pro Layout

    Differences between LayOut 3 and LayOut 2017? Wow! There's a lot of differences. Some of the most noticeable are: The ability to create tables directly in LO. Import XLS/XLSX spreadsheet files and retain a dynamic link form the original file. Similar to the link with inserted SketchUp files. Auto-text for things like page number, page name. Auto text in labels can display component definition names and/or description. Dimensions linked to the SketchUp file so changes to dimensions in the SketchUp model will be reflected in the dimensions displayed in LO. Smart handling of small dimensions. Arrows outside extension lines, text placed outside the extension lines when the text won't fit between. Automatic leader inserted. In general more stable and a whole lot faster rendering in Vector and Hybrid. There are other things as well. And in SketchUp there are many improvements over SU8.

    Thank you TIG for taking the time and replying my question! And also BIG THANKS to you for all your plugins! I couldn't stand it anymore and so I decided to reinstall the whole damn windows 10 because my system showed all kind of funky behavior. I suspect there was something fishy going with visual C++. I don't know I am not that splendid computer expert. I have reinstalled SU and fredo scale and it's behaving nicely, let's see how long that will last. Have a good evening!

Do you see the menu entries for both LibFreo6 (Windows > LibFredo6 Settings....) and Curviloft (Tools > Fredo Collection > Curviloft)? Fredo

    To match the images you show you need to either UV unwrap the mesh and texture paint. Or sculpt the mesh and bake the high poly to a lower poly mesh. Both non-novice topics and activities. For displacement to work properly in rendering you need tessellated surfaces and SketchUp isn't suited to too much tessellation. The most efficient way to do this is to trick the eye with texture detail rather than mesh detail.

    @paul russam said: If youā€™re looking to have your models viewable on a web page then you might want to look at SketchFab, hereā€™s a link to models Iā€™ve uploaded https://sketchfab.com/dma-ni/models and hereā€™s one in action on a page https://www.dma-ni.com/dma_projects/dma_view_proj/maghereagh-kilkerley-dundalk (click the ā€˜view in 3dā€™ button) Yes, I have some test models out there also. It is a good product but I am looking for a little more flexibility than what it does (at least currently). I have been testing SimLab Composer. I like it because of the following features: Allows me to host the pages on my own server (not tied to their portal) Allows me to add a fair amount of interactivity to the model and the web page: Animation of both scenes and geometry Links to display annotations (they call them message boxes), URLs, change object materials, and show/hide objects. These items can be achieved with both links within the model or via links on the web page itself. Pretty powerful stuff IMO.

    @sjotcher said: I am using SU 2016 pro... for evaluating if the issue is caused by a faulty OpenGL support of the used graphics card driver, disable in SU v2016 "Window > Preferences > OpenGL > Use Hardware Acceleration", close/launch SU and print again. If everything fine than the graphics card driver is causing the issue. If the recent driver version doesn't fix the problem, swapping to a recent GeForce GTX 1050Ti/1060 (or better) might be opportune. Norbert

    Perhaps you could share your file so we can see exactly what you are trying to do.

    Did you try Blender to import it? 1GB is a big ask for any app. But Blender might be able to better segment it to export more manageable chunks. Is the 1GB purely mesh data or mesh and texture data?
