    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

    Looks typical of a graphics card issue. Try updating the drivers. Radeon cards and their drivers are well-known for their inadequate support of OpenGL. With previous versions of SketchUp this could be mitigated by turning off Hardware Acceleration and using CPU or software rendering. With SU2017 having a graphics card that is up to the job is critical because there is no CPU or software rendering.

    Both (SketchUcation PluginStore and Trimble Extension Warehouse) have functions to automate this task. With these, most of the plugins are already covered and the installation of the newest versions only take some seconds...

    Using large coordinates is a nightmare in most of the 3d programs and SketchUp is no exception. Clipping issues, z-fighting issues guaranteed. The only solution (that I know of) is to use a fixed translation (just write it down somewhere) for your project. Maybe your GIS app can do it for you already when exporting? Otherwise you have to do it in SketchUp yourself. Most of the time I just load the new parts in a separate SketchUp file, do the translation and then copy past it into the main file. edit: typo

    Hello I found the raison on the SU PODIUM website ( rendering plugin ) " This is s known (annoying) bug. Don't worry nothing's lost, you just need to rename the skb to skp. It happens when you save when the oopr is opened. Sketchup will only save backup file. To save correctly, close the oopr before saving. " It's working for me now. I hope to help you.

    It's a resort in Rhode Island called Ocean House http://www.oceanhouseri.com I saw it some where on the internet and had one of those " I can model that" moments years ago. I only recently took it up again. I have a long ways to go and lots of detail to refine but this a rendering I recently did with Twilight . [image: dHz7_OceanHousecopy3_Alllayerson.jpg]

    Yep, we've all been there and it is painful. Usually this happens with imports from AutoCAD. I usually run ThomThom's Flatten script in his Architect Tools set, just to make sure everything is on Z=0. Then I use S4U's Make Face script. Most of the time this works, but you might need to find little unconnected gaps, in this case, try ThomThom's Edge Tools.

    thanks for the replies, I dug a little deeper and found out about the time thing and this link http://www.mediafire.com/file/brjzmnqzbcv38fp/RichSectionv0.5.8FULLByDimitri.zip: where a modified plugin can be found. Works in SU16 and seems pretty good although you can only have one material for the section cut. Trimble/Sketchup so needs to address this issue with sections in my view.

    After erasing the weird 'rod' geometry... I guess the left-over piece of text includes an empty string or perhaps just a space ? Use the Outliner to open that Group in edit-mode. Edit > Select All. Entity Info now shows one piece of text. Press <delete>. That text is now gone. The now empty Group is also gone... Resolved.

    This is only true if you pick a corner of the bounding box. It defaults to uniform. Picking any other handle scales against its opposite point, unless you hold shift.
