    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!

    Yes. I guess that's it in a nutshell. If you choose the tool first, the offset will occur along all the edges that bound the face. Notice the face will be highlighted when you hover over it. Pre-selecting the edges gives you more control when you need it.

    Thank you guys for the suggestions and replies. Unfortunately, I need the model to not have just 1 texture but to retain it's original tile texturing. Do I have any other options? Does Thrupaint have anything here that can help me? Is there any way I can paint through surfaces to all faces that are under the drop bucket tool?

    Section cuts in mirrored geometry

    I had a similar issue with a horizontal section plan through a house model getting flipped upside down after I used the scale tool to mirror the model right to left. I noticed that the section plane arrows went the wrong way and the cut showed the wrong half of the model. I was unable to select the shown geometry correctly. In Layout, the object snap feature wouldn't select geometry that wasn't right on the section cut. The Sketchup scene with the cut in question kept breaking: it would show the wrong half of the cut from time to time, and I would need to switch it back. My solution: I noticed that the axes of my house got flipped along with the house model when I used the scale tool. I used: Tools>Axes to change the axes of the house back to the default configuration. This change made my section plane and section cut work normally again.

    Thanks Didier, I actually do have that plugin (it is a great time saver!) and it was the first thing I tried after the fog disappeared. What I did not realize though is while my view appeared to be the same my cameras were way different in distance to there respective targets, so the fog planes were copied but they were not showing up because the fog planes are based on my "off" camera location. Thanks!

    Ctrl+drag does indeed work for moving tools from the native toolbars to your custom toolbars. If it isn't working for you, check your keyboard. You do have to have the toolbars window open while customizing the toolbars. You can also just drag the tools over without holding Ctrl. If you want to restore the tools on the native toolbars, click on Reset.

    If for some reason ctrl isn't making copies for you, could be a keyboard problem, drag them and build your custom toolbar. Then go to the toolbar dialog and use Reset on any toolbars missing tools and they will be replaced. Don't use Reset All as it will wipe your custom toolbar.

    @ntxdave said: Depending on what you want to do, you could look at TIG's 2D Tools plugin but there are some restrictions on how you use it. sure it depends on what I need to do... It was a 2D drawing for clarity. Well, I know that SU isn't primarily focused on that. It's about understanding and acceptance of philosophy. thanks for all the responses guys greetings Peter

    For the benefit of others who may come across this topic: WIndows update has been quietly bundling the plays.tv app along with an update to the drivers for AMD graphics (most likely AMD initiated this, as plays.tv is a project they co-sponsor with Raptr). This app causes graphics conflicts that crash SketchUp. Uninstalling Play TV has cured the problem for many people.
