    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?

    There is an old one called massmaterialimporter which may work. I'm sure someone can update it if it does not. Edit - it stil works in 2017.

    Beware, I have used this data in the latest version of Lumion and it's not really that great. Seems to have no 3D topo information and the buildings heights are limited or non existent for most areas.

    @otb designworks said: @mike amos said: I also find the additional reference points when drawing to be a thorough nuisance rather than helping. I have to agree with this statement. I feel like the "improvements" to the inference engine over the last two releases have done nothing but make the modeling process more cumbersome and confusing. I agree with both you and Trimble in this regard. More inferences are very useful but things need to be fine tuned to a point that they work flawlessly. I'll add that some of these inferences are, in fact, only visual cues. Those are, imho, useless.

    I agree with Dave. If you put the line and curve on the xy plane and aligned with the x axis, it works everytime.

    I'm glad that helped. Notifying nVidia may or may not help. They are always releasing new drivers so the next release might take care of the issue. If you didn't manually download and install the driver update before, be on the lookout for it to get updated again. Or turn off auto updates.

    thank you very much for the explanation. This means that any type of classification can be assigned to components, even custom made ones, for other purposes that are out of the building standards, if I want to use those classifications to make some reports using the built-in report tool that is in SU PRO?

    Extensions "unsigned"

    Version 2017 introduce yet another signing regime, which means unless you use an 'Unrestricted' loading policy you might get issues if it's not been re-signed for v2017, if an extension or plugin is 'unsigned' it should usually work when 'Unrestricted'. However, some unexpected changes in the way that SketchUp v2017 deals with an entity's ID etc have meant that some extension are now broken in v2017. Sadly one of these is my Extension-Tools... I am working on fixes, but a few of the tools are proving particularly recalcitrant... Watch for updates... If you find any tools which have been installed from their latest RBZ, and which seem not to work in v2017 please report them to that tool's author in its main thread. Please remember to provide any Ruby Console messages or on-load messages as might be relevant...

    My goal is to connect two offset rectangles with the speed and simplicity of using Curviloft - but without a reduction in aspect ratio. Want to avoid the extra step of manually drawing a path between said rectangles.

    Following up on this. Apparently in my system turning off antialising of textures made the issue go away. I am laying blame on the graphics card. [image: RvcM_Antialiasing.PNG]

    Windows 7, SP1. I didn't have any "critical updates" due, and "Hotfix KB299926" doesn't seem to exist. All searches for this Update come up with "KB2999226" which has an extra "2". I've now been trying to install the latter, but the Windows Updater always hangs during the install. Having to shift my priorities elsewhere for the moment, but will report if/ how this is fixed. A graphics card update may be in order (as you suggested on SU's forum). Thanks.

    The cylinders need to be a fixed size as they already exist. It's a matter of finding the ideal diameter where there is equal spacing @ all edges.

    I generally use TIG's TIG-Weld plugin to weld edges together to make them easy to select. This other benefits, too, such as when extruding a face with Push/Pull or Follow Me.

    pbacot/ntxdave Thank you. I was able to place lights based on your suggestions. It's been log enough that I forgot how that worked.
