    @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!

    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?

    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.

    Yes, a simple solution. I don't need to create a new texture, just subdivide the surfaces I want to cover, apply the texture to each section and flip the texture on each section as needed. Should have thought of that. Thank you Dave and Pbacot. I've been working with Sketchup for several years for hobby woodworking and it's nice to know I can get help like this.

    Thanks again for the Ideas. Turned out to be the graphic cards driver. It was up to date, but the current driver somehow created a problem with su2017. The previous driver also had the same problem, so we had to roll the driver back two releases. Probably not coincidentally, two drivers ago was when I installed "the gforce experience" application that is designed to prompt you when new drivers are available so you can stay current with the actual manufactures latest and greatest. I actually thought it would be better to let the manufacture prompt me rather than let windows update handle when and what gets updated. I have had two instances with this gtx1080 gpu in the recent past where windows has changed the driver for me and it has caused problems so I was trying to be smart by going to the gforce experience. I guess i will just let windows do its thing and put the fires out after. p
