    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!

    @dave r said: How did you rename it? In Windows Explorer. I guess I have to rename it in Sketchup Materials>Edit to affect the list order in Materials drop down menu (ie. put at top of list for convenience). I actually just put them in a separate folder. Happy days.

    Create rubbish? There are a few of my earliest models.... Seriously, it's going to be the textures that solve your problem. I did a model of a recycling metals company and I found some very useful (free) textures at textures.com. I suggest you check there.

    @djh said: @remus said: you could always just hold ctrl while your orbiting, this will turn of the 'turntable' effect you usually get. Holding control while rotating should constrain the rotation? No. SketchUp's orbit has a notion of "gravity" by which it tries to keep the horizon line (duh!) horizontal. Holding ctrl (option on Mac) suspends this action and actually allows less constrained orbiting, the opposite of what is being requested!

    Thanks Fredo. Do you think it possible to technically achieve this? In particular, I'm interested in a workflow where all hard edges are rounded for a given object at once. Even better if it can be proxied, so one could continue working in the non-rounded version, then update the proxy. Blender has a great set of plugins called hard ops, which does this. This plugin is amazing, and I think this can be done even better in SU if there's a good enough fillet algorithm. https://youtu.be/MOr0RBraRaI

    I use the axis tool and align it with a wall corner on the plan. So, on the cabinet wall, I can take the tape measure tool and search for a corner of a cabinet door for a reference point from which to measure and it doesn't find a corner to reference. You didn't encounter this? Are you on a PC or Mac? I'm on a Mac Thank you!

    Indeed, the other constants are a little more depressing, so I rarely think of them, personally. I shall give it a miss until something (paid or not) appears - I'm always keen to adapt, but not at too much 'time cost', being self-employed and all. FYI Completely agree with your sig'.

    Also take a look at "MooTools" standalone software to convert between formats.

    Just type... Sketchup.send_action 10624 ...into the Ruby Console to gain access to the Camera Clipping values If you zoom and pan in the viewport you can see how SketchUp adjusts this value range on the fly.
