    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!

    I can see that might be a problem to have the box checked when there's no watermark. It may be expecting to save an image which it can't find.

    @rich o brien said: I find the viewport display for that in designer to reflect the render output in Thea. And because of the difference in how metal appears in SD spec/gloss as compared to Thea it's an uphill battle. For straight up non-metals it's fine though. True! PBR roughness/metalic is the way to go with Thea, however Spec/Gloss might be useful for other engines, that's why I posted.

    Has there been any headway made with the mac toolbar situation? Has someone come up with a plugin that helps or is there now a way to group together the separate toolbars (the top custom toolbar line just isn't enough)

    @juju said: Isn't Skalp supposed to manage that automatically? I think so, but I don't use it. What I'm trying to say is that the perspective scene probably derived directly from a scene where the plan layers were active and that's maybe why they are also active on the new scene.

    @rich o brien said: does that mean WrapR failed to meet your high expectations? You set the bar high with Wrap-R.. that's what I meant.. And the Wrapit video I was referring to was 8 years old...so that might be a fair benchmark to begin with...

    For me Save as component (once you've set it where it goes in the master model)works well. .. as noted above. Just be aware of anything you do with the axes for that component.

    I've been looking for an answer to this issue, and this post is as close as I could get. How can I show the volume of a component in the Component Attributes window? It seems to be available in Attribute Reporting and in the Entity Info window, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to the CA window. Once I have the volume, I hope to calculate a cost for that volume. I have the cost per a determined UOM and can figure out how to convert it. Thanks

    Sorry for delay in replying. Thanks for the hints. The Gilles 'follow me' method works the best for me. I havent tried your idea yet Pilou. Thanks again.

    There's no need to copy to a new file? Just use Align Camera as I told you. It works just fine. As for the "red light inside the model", to what are you referring? SketchUp doesn't put any sort of lights inside. The only option for lighting in SketchUp comes from the sun. Upload the model or at least show a screenshot. Give us something to help you with.

    Hi Besides modeling the geometry itself you could use suitable PNG textures as well (picture material from the web or self-made). For my example I have used image material which Gilles has recommended by his link above [image: Rm9S___BalustradePNGTexture.jpg] [image: Pkgk_001.png] 001.skp

    Yes of course it is the same thing! In any case you have all the combinaisons! (with BoolTools 2 ) Addition, SubStraction, Intersection etc...
