    @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!

    Have you (or them) tried the 'Import SKP' plugin for AutoCAD based products? Looks like you have to save your SKP file down to a r2013 format, I think. I have it and have used it several times with no issues.

    @tuna1957 said: Walt, No worries. I can relate to the over the head comment. It's where I spend most of my time. It doesn't help that I didn't explain the problem and how to correct it very well. Going to try to clarify it a little better, I hope ! You need to edit the texture that is not rendering properly outside of SU in Photo Shop or Gimp. You change the color mode from "indexed" to "RGB" in the photo editor and then load back into the SU model and then it should render the correct color/texture. I did not know that. I have heard about color being the proper mode, but not the specific problem.

    @utiler said: And just tried a new model with nothing in it.... Can't find the red axis. Just tested a model similar to the one in your file, feb 13. With the camera position you presented I could find R, G and B axes in FOV less than 10 deg upto 120 degrees. No problem here. The blind spot that seems to only appear on my laptop decreases with a larger FOV. Weird.

    @nauzer67 said: I am trying to use Sketchup to give me a report on componets that I am using to model a insulated styrofoam foundation.I have 3 componets: a corner, a standard block, and an adjustable length block which is used to fill in between the standard blocks and the corner. Some of these blocks are copied and moved and some are grabbed from my componet library. When I run a report some blocks are grouped while others are each on a seperate line. Is there any way to control what gets grouped and what is on its own line? I need my adjustable componets to each be on a seperate line so I can add the total length of all these componets and divide it by the length of a standard block to get my actual quantity. Help please.. Perhaps this will help. Rather than putting each cut block on a separate line, I did the addition for you. If this is acceptable I will send you a copy of the plugin by Private Message.

    @pilou said: Tig has shadows Projector ! Yes, I have it. It's a lovely plugin. I recommend TIG to my friends as the Nike, Adidas, Puma, of plugins. He is a brand. Always use his plugins whenever you find yourself choosing between more than one plugin suitable for the same purpose.

    Speed and large file capabilities. They always say we'll just ask for more but SketchUp is always behind on what one needs for working on typical models for typical small building projects, let alone for adding landscape, and other models that are handled easily by other software.

    Thanks for your response. I figured out the issue I was having. I downloaded a new plugin which I assume was conflicting with other plugins. I deleted this and it fixed the issue. I can copy and paste again!

    If you view in Monochrome mode are you sure the material is applied onto a 'front'. If your Style has a distinctively back-face color versus front-face then you'll see it clearly. Most renderers do not render back-faces, even when they have a material... PS: Posting a simple example SKP would also help us help you...

    Well I finally got around to trying this fix [image: h3Vz_2017-02-03_221211.png] and it worked! Set my values at 60 and now even my largest model can be worked with no problems. Unfortunately I had already reset the laptop back to the original factory settings in anticipation of selling it, which meant that I had to do all the updates again (a real pain in the butt), and copy almost 700GB worth of data over to it (including my 369GB Sketchup Stuff folder). Now I get to do all the fine-tuning (again). Fun time. See what trouble you caused me, Rich?

    You should post post your model SU V8 so everyone can open it, also if some of the groups are not solid try Solid solver (TIG) or/and solid inspector (Thomthom). Then select all the groups you want to intersect with the major group, explode them and group, you should have a solid group; proceed outershell.
