    @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 have this in my drawing program (PowerCADD). You hold a modifier key and snaps disable, similar to ortho constrain / un-constrain toggle.

    @cuttingedge said: I have a model with lots of faces (less than a hundred) which i need to jointly extrude. i run Joint-push-pull and while the preview is almost real-time, the process took so long to complete. But when I wanted to undo the command (which is supposed to be one command). It simply wont undo and therefore messing up my geometry. Wish there's a better way to do this. Well, difficult to tell without seeing the model and having something reproducible. In any case, this is not intended and would be a bug Fredo

    You are referring to the Tray in SketchUp 2016 on the PC. There is no tray on the Mac version. You can open the individual windows from the Window menu and you can stack them on the side if you like.

    Thanks, I have had a look at the components but they do not have what I would consider small parts. It's still a bit of a mystery.

    Excellent thanks for your help. I also figured I could get rid of the background with an alpha channel in photoshop, but your way easier. Thanks Nicola

    Sorry to take so long to respond. I appreciate the responses from you guys. I went with DaveR's approach since it would be the easiest (IMHO) to use when a new version of SU is released.

    Yes. The Save_As... option will save back as far as version 3. Use the drop-down list.

    @hellnbak said: I don't know if SU itself has a fork in it's future, but I do know that these forums are not what they used to be. For several years it seems member participation has pretty much died down to just a predictable few. Sad Can't argue with that. I joined the SketchUp forum only fairly recently, so I'm barely past newbie status yet...but I'm spending far more time over there now.

    Discovered that if I export as a 2D graphic (dwg) and then import that, it has got rid of all the rubbish. All of the layer controls have gone, but I don't need those anyway. This method has the added bonus of truly flattening the file as well.

    In the early days of SketchUp, before there were any renderers at all, one method I used for depicting a more ambient light in an interior was to go to the Shadows control (now part of the trays setup) and reverse the position of the sliders. Move the Light one way down and the Dark one up. As long as you don't slide them clear to the end (which is effectively the same as turning shadows off) you'll still have shadows, but they'll be far more muted.

    Also, if you don't want the profile edges to appear as thick lines, don't turn off Profiles. Instead, set them to 1.

    There is no secret. It is just photogrammetry tools gotten that good. Take thousands of photos, dump them in,a few days later get the result.

    There is one definite advantage of having the corners mitered. It simplifies outside wall textures. A number of plugins do miter for this reason.
