    @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!

    Thanks for the suggestions Moujiik. I downloaded Rhino 5 evaluation version this morning and it handled the conversion perfectly. ...Plus now I get to play with Rhino for the next 3 months!

    @dave I think the OP is flagging the blurring to the texture at the end of the corridor. I could be wrong though. To me it is a natural artifact because the pixels of the image are smaller than the pixels on the screen.

    @box said: Don't hold ctrl, just tap it, it is a toggle. Guide on guide off,you'll even see the little guide line symbol disappear and reappear. For some unknown reason they reversed the default in 2017. Damn, never noticed that. The toggle on seems to be the default on my puter. Never needed a reason to toggle off.

    Yeah. You nailed it. The smoothing issue is very apparent when using radial bend in FredoScale. Simply entering edit mode nukes the strange appearance. I tried that with this flickering issue but it didn't work.

    Nevermind I solved it. The ramp entrance level was not 100% flat with the rest of the floor. I used the push/pull tool to make sure all the surfaces was perfectly on the same level and it worked.

    I'm familiar with Thea, I actually own a copy. I have not tried it since I now have compatible GPUs installed on my machine. Unity provides animation capabilities that neither Thea nor Octane can currently create in reasonable amount of time. And just in as important for my needs, you can output to a VR headset. I'll be sure and check out Thea soon. Thx!

    Have you checked your FBX export options ? I think they should look like this ? [image: APKW_Capture.PNG] Otherwise the doubled up faces could double up vertices etc ?

    That warning comes from Dynamic Components, doesn't it? Try closing the DC Windows before which ever operation you are attempting.

    Pres, I always resize them, usually to 2000 pix wide, I do this to get rid of the jaggies. But I'll play around with your suggestions about the line weight! I've never messed around with the depth cue before so I'll give that a try too. Thanks for that advice!

    Start here: https://youtu.be/2hSyw6bobpc?list=PL190C90DCE62242C9 and then https://youtu.be/gX4C9To9Oiw?list=PL190C90DCE62242C9 Pay attention to the fact that you need images straight as they come from the camera. No cropping or other manipulation of the perspective.

    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...
