    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?

    Drag the frame of the dialog larger to see the rest of it. Some systems have a small default setting, once resized it should stay that way.

    An old post but now you have Fusion 360 or OnShape or FreeCad that can import/export for free in formats compatible with SU! This site has more than an half million objects! https://www.mcmaster.com In Moi3D [image: object.jpg] and then in Sketchup [image: plop1.jpg]

    @hellnbak said: Thanks Jim, but if that's the one I came across when I was researching this question, didn't it have a problem working on any version prior to 2016? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. I don't think so since I never released my extension. I just tried it and it works fine in SketchUp 2015.

    Yes, but that box is not checked and it doesn't loop to the beginning. It loops to a scene that is no longer there.

    I thought maybe not, but didn't hurt to throw it in. Haven't done much of this stuff in six years, so a little rusty, as well as being not-too-knowledgeable in the nuts & bolts area. However, I've grown to absolutely rely on SU to aid in making my living and will probably be working on a model on my deathbed.

    Thanks folks!. Yes you can. I've been doing it for years and it works exceptionally well. Matt Donley and I co-authored a book on my process. You can see it here http://www.sketchupbook.com

    Alan, you've dredged up an ancient topic. Things have changed since then. Google hasn't owned SketchUp in over 4 years and the 3D buildings that show in Google Earth are not SketchUp models like they were back when they did. You can search the 3D Warehouse to see if the original author might have shared the model or if someone else has created a model. If you have no luck, you'll most likely need to create the buildings on your own.

    Ok.. tried it and it was a bit too aggressive in how many stray edges it removed on the first run though on default settings... I will play with it and see if I can make it work. Thanks for the suggestion!

    @fredo6 said: I see the issue with the MDI approach (so toolbar must be independent of model window), but I don't understand why the Sketchup team did not address some of the basic issues, such as the icons for New, Open, Save, as well as the size of icons in the main toolbar, the text size in most inspectors. After all, there seems to be many Mac users around, including Pro users. Fredo We Mac users often wonder about the same things (and more). It seems that the Mac GUI has gotten very little attention compared to Windows and things like my.sketchup, starting all the way back when Google bought SketchUp and continuing through Trimble's ownership.

    As srx suggests, you can draw the table top as an array of wedges or you can draw radial lines to divide the top into sectors. Hide the edges after you applied the texture. The top on this table was drawn by making a wedge-shaped sector which was then copied into a radial array. [image: 19208781128_0e5eb9e962_z.jpg]

    @bob james said: Or is this a "duh" that I've missed all these years I guess it's a "duh" moment. Start moving the selection, let go of the mouse and type [0,0,0] and hit Enter. The selection will move to the origin with point you grabbed with the Move tool located at the origin itself. [image: iAgr_move.gif]

    @slbaumgartner said: @bryan k said: I'm still hoping they make a version for Linux. As Apple is now Unix based and there is an Apple version, I would hope a Linux version will be offered one day. This has been discussed frequently on the sketchup.com forum. Although Mac OS X is a UNIX variant, the GUI is proprietary to Apple and is very different from anything available on Linux. It would take a significant amount of effort to port the Mac version to Linux. Yeah, I've seen those discussions and as an IT guy myself, I understand and do not blame them for holding off. Still, one can hope!
