    @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!

    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

    Thank you Pilou! .....I did not fully understand your earlier scaling example (w/o visible dimension)....it is now very clear! Now OP has at least two methods to adjust imported CAD files to scale.....as we understand his needs. Best regards, Charlie PS.....RE: Try it....................I will now use this method as well!

    @slbaumgartner said: To use layers or simple hiding, your "outliners" should be groups or components. If they are edges and faces, associating them with hidden layers is almost certain to cause issues because loose edges and faces on hidden layers or simply hidden still interact with other loose edges and faces! Definetelly follow this advice!

    Your current style is using color by layer. If you edit the style it's on the blue cube "modeling settings"

    If you set the default[s] at the offset of opening the model - separately for circle and arc ! - then they are remembered during the use of that model. But next time they'll revert to the built-in defaults. There have bee attempts [at least on PC] to run a 'macro' key-stroke tool as SketchUp starts to reset the circle/arc segments... This old one probably won't work: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SetArcCircleDefaults This old one [mine!] just might: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=593781#p593781

    Excellent - thanks again. Triangulating the cutting line was what I was missing. Cheers Tim

    Sorry, I was under the impression Sketchup would also triangulate on import because I thought I did it once, but I used blender first, triangulated and then exported to obj again (but could be dae or 3ds) and then into sketchup. It's not that hard. There is another free OBJ importer that is from quad tools. It becomes available directly on sketchup file>import options and it never failed for me, but I used it only seldomly.

    @cms 5ps said: Thanks JQL. I don't think that would work for me, as doing so would give every surface in my model that texture. Which would work for my scope drawings, but will not work for the rest of the design drawings. I will need to play around with it a bit. Well, now you know you can do that, so you can use it someday.
