    @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!

    This is a problem with Vray. You should be asking on the Vray forum or better, contact their customer support people.

    Thanks for this reply. I will have to play about with proxies in my next model. It's not something I've done before. I've tended to go the route so far of having complex plants, etc. on a layer I open only when looking at or rendering a particular scene. I am no expert, so I'm unsure if that keeps the SU model as light and maneuverable, (with the layer(s) switched off) as having proxies in place. @hornoxx said: Hi Gary and Pixero I´m using Shaderlight as my main render tool but unfortunately it is not able to handle Skatter files so far. I hope that this will change, sometime As long, as Pixero´s DIY Hedges are finished SU files which no longer need any connection to Skatter itself in the background, Shaderlight will be able to render these. Shaderlight's "Replace Me Creator" works fine which makes it possible at least to replace complex geometry by lightweight proxy geometry within SketchUp as seen in this linked example http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40%26amp;t=67665#p620146 Anyway you will probably have to adjust the used textures within Shaderlight´s material presets, so that these present the desired render result. @ Pixero: if possible Gary and I could make a little Shaderlight testing using a small sample file from you?

    hmm - strange indeed is it possible to share a small part of your model (containing landscape, one building etc.) here? Just for testing this issue of course....

    You can use the factor 1000 and model without units in m (model settings), no calculations needed.

    This is an old post, but I figure if anyone else stumble upon it with the same issue this tip would be quite useful: I have tried out the new plugin "s4u Hide Line" and it does the trick of showing hidden geometry with a click of a button: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/s4u-hide-line

    I'm not sure what other aspects of sketchup may be lost?...But saving as sketchup version 6 or below removes dynamic attributes, retaining the component and sub components.

    Hi Aaron, i downloaded the Build edge Plan and installed it on diverent Versions of Sketchup. it is not possible to test it, allways i get the message "Build Edge pro has expired". 3 years ago i worked with this Plugin and Sketchup 2014, I was very pleased and all worked fine. i also tryed to install my old version, but i think it's not longer working, the last years i had not installed Sketchup and Build Edge plan. Now i would buy Build edge plan, but when i click on "buy" I will be forwarded to a Domain "http://store.buildedge.com/" Where there is no possibility to buy the Plugin ??? Please send me information how i can buy Build edge plan. Attached a Mail from 2014 for info. Sorry my bad englisch, i hope you can help me. best regards Rudolf E-mail from Brendon Studholme 2014 E-Mail from 2014

    It might be an installation issue... If you have set the SketchUp.exe file's properties to always 'run as administrator' [or you right-click it and 'run as administrator'] this can mask issues which resulted from an incorrect installation initially [see later]. The downside of setting SketchUp this way is that you then prevent Image drag'n'drop. Windows Explorer always runs at the base level of permissions. Elevating SketchUp's permissions above that then causes an issue. Windows does not allow an application to affect another application running at a higher level. So drag'n'drop no longer works ! Change the setting[s] and drag'n'drop should work once again... SketchUp needs to be installed properly. Select the SketchUp installer's exe file, and right-click > context-menu > 'Run as administrator' This will ensure it installs and then runs properly later on. Being the admin, or having admin powers, is not the same as running it 'properly'... If you already have SketchUp installed you probably don't need to reinstall it from scratch. Close SketchUp, then run the installer as administrator as outlined above. When prompted choose 'Repair'. When SketchUp restarts all should be correct. Any Plugins etc should be remembered as before... If you still have problems try uninstalling and immediately reinstalling - running as admin etc...

    The issue popped up again recently. Found it to be a Skatter issue after all. I could pull it up on a machine without Skatter plug in installed with ease...would hang forever on my machines that had Skatter installed. Went in and purged/deleted the Skatter reference on the non-Skatter machine....saved then opened in my Skatter machine (no problem) - then redefined the Skatter perimeters...and works like a charm. Unsure what the hang up is and once redefined the problem hasn't occurred again.

    TIG, Thanks, that did the trick! I didn't see those edges in there, until you posted a screenshot showing them, that's why. I deleted the extrusion the way you said and then drew a line over part of the "holes" which caused the face to form and that fixed that issue. I'm not sure why that caused a face to form, but it did. Now I can recess or raise the logo as needed. I've attached what I have done thus far. Thanks for all the help.

    You can also get the transferring rotated axis if you inference your plane with the rotation tool, and then press one time the down arrow on your keyboard. This blocks that inference in place and lets you put the rotation tool in the position you want.
