    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?

    Unfortunately, if your GPU isn't up to the task, as it appears is the case, your CPU has to pick up the slack and work harder.

    I want to announce that the login problem is gone. I didn't do anything, in fact I didn't even use sketchup since i posted this issue... just today I tried again and it logged in. Seems the problem was at trimble's end... and is "nice" how they keep silence all the time...

    Yep. You begin to organize with components or groups. Sometimes you make layers sort of follow the groups or components. Scenes help to quickly show the layers (with the components you put there) that you want, in the style you want for different uses (e.g. "working" scenes to simplify and isolate parts, drawing-output scenes like each exterior elevation) I use dynamic components for windows--things like that only,so no help here. Just use the most natural or simple method for the walls until forced or inspired to something different. Look at Valiarchitects InstantRoof Nui. Once you get the hang of it, you keep a horizontal plane in the model (study the height for the plane--its' not the top plate, so that's odd), you can quickly rework the roof and details for changes to design, save roof styles.

    Hello Pixero, You are right, LSS Arch is very good. I have been in touch with the author of the plugin for quite some time as I suspect it could, in fact, be outstanding. I have been very keen to find out how soon a stable Mac version might be available. He said only a couple of days ago that he hopes with SU 2017 he can clean up the Mac version. I would certainly buy and use it, for sure. In fact, I was encouraged when he implemented my suggestion that all components (particularly walls) have an editable 'Z' for the base level so that one could work comfortably in plan knowing that the height will not change unless modified in the dialogue box. I will get either parallels or VMWare and try out Pilou's suggestion. Thank you both.

    Well... Blender is giving me the most flexible approach. I set the camera and then paint the texture. Any solution involving geometry projection would make editing (change of position, change of texture...) painful. I considered buying Blendup (a Sketchup to Blender transfer add-on) to import my Sketchup cameras and geometry to Blender, paint in Blender and back to Sketchup. Eventually, I chose to do everything in Blender (model, texture and render). I will let you know how it turned up! Thanks a lot for your help, gentlemen!

    @watkins said: Dear Nick, I am not an architect and so this might be a dumb question, but is your book centred on American standards or would a UK/European architect find this book useful too. If essentially written for the American market, do you plan to publish a companion book that would meet the needs of UK/European architects with respect to standards, symbols etc. People are so busy these days that they want to hit the floor running when trying something new. Kind regards, Bob Certainly. The book is more about the process. Yes it is in American standards, but that really isn't discussed at length. What is discussed is the simple process of model configuration, layout setup and overall concept of producing full CD's with only Sketchup and Layout. The book includes a full sample project in both SU and LO as well as, all the templates I use in both SU and LO.

    Well I played with it a while on my son's Chomebook and I must say it was pretty smooth. I built a small house exterior and noticed no slow down at all. I will do a bit more playing with it but so far it seems to be a great addition.

    This would be really useful as I have to show studies to clients and a date clock running in the animation would be great

    @bryan k said: I'm not sure how to frame this question. I have colored individual faces in my component and would like to know if there is a way to undo this. It has created a problem when I try to color the entire component when selected as a group. In other words, when I select the component and try to apply an overall color or material, it will only color some faces and what seems to me, not the individual faces I colored when I was in edit mode. Thanks. Something like this? [image: pttD_RemoveFaceColors.gif] Remove Face Colors.rb

    @box said: Make sure internet explorer is up to date, has a clean cache and isn't too restricted security wise. Thanks for the tip! It worked. I am using Internet explorer 11. I reset my settings to defaults for privacy and security. Now my extension store is working. I can see the lists, etc. However, this version of store works slow. That is the search and the opening of pages is slower than the previous versions. It seems as if I am using this store on a very slow internet connection which is not the case. Moreover, I have not changed anything as far as interference with my internet is concerned, i.e. my antivirus brand, firewall settings, etc. [image: z7d9_explo.png]

    Your profile shows SU2013, still. So you can look under User/App Data/Roaming/SketchUp... for materials folders. Or you might just try running a search for all folders with "material" in the name.
