    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?

    @vigy said: Well, you have to agree that the text and dimension preference are very poor in SU, hope they will improve. I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Historically, since the introduction of LayOut, the improvements in dimensioning as well as text and labels have all come in LayOut. SketchUp's Dimension and Text tools haven't changed at least as long as I've been using SketchUp starting with V3.

    @tig said: Why not make two Styles - one with Color by Layer set and the other with Color by Material set. Set up two Scene Tabs, each using one of those Styles. You can remove all other changeable properties from each of those Tabs, so that only the 'Coloring' changes with the Tab. Then simply toggling between the two Tabs changes the 'Coloring'. thank you~ ! this ways is more than speed my work

    For anyone that is having this issue: Trimble team has responded to me that it is a known problem and it is on the list of things to be addressed. A work around I have found is as follows. After opening the file you intend to work on, open a second new session. Do not save the new session. If you want to work with a dynamic component, insert it into the unsaved file, make your adjustments, and copy/paste it into the model you are actually working on. Just leave that unsaved file open and do not save it and you can continue to use it for dc adjustments. Pain in the behind, but at least I can keep functioning while waiting for a real solution. I use dynamic windows in all my home models so I can't live without this feature. paul.

    Glad it helped. As long as you keep edges and faces on Layer 0 throughout your models, you'll find things much easier. Cheers, d

    @bebelamoraes said: I can't find much logic in it... the 64-Bit OpenGL stack of the used video driver is faulty, therefore using the 32-Bit version of SU and its 32-Bit OpenGL API calls helps. If ever buying something new, go for a dedicated nVidia GeForce GTX series.

    Jaguarrh, As an alternative to Procad who seem to just provide a basics course, sketchuptraining.com.au do a couple of more advanced courses; one that covers Visualisation/rendering with Sketchup and a course for producing technical drawings with Sketchup and Layout. The courses focus mostly on architecture and building design but they do cover terrain modelling as well as the use of advanced plugins to extend Sketchup's capabilities. They seem to specialise only in Sketchup unlike the others you mention and if you look at the gallery on the website or follow the link to the Facebook page, they have some very impressive examples. It says that courses are held once or twice a year in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Worth a look... Grice

    If it is already colored you can actually edit the color in the materials list and change it. Yes I know, the color gray is now yellow or something like that. [image: wHus_changecolor.png]

    Hello: Look in Sketchucation Plugin Store for "Flattery" by Pumpkin Pirate. The description seems to fit your need. Otherwise, a related possibility in the 3d printing Category search list. The 3d printing Category list is fairly short, but one of the titles seems to fit your request.

    What Box said. And if you need solid components you can make them from the array.

    If you have to make a lot of revisions, it's generally best to keep the line styles as simple as you can.

    I started using SketchUp in 2001 or 2002 when I went to a ten week course in SketchUp and AutoCAD. I did all the beginner errors but slowly built my knowledge of the program. It's mostly been a pleasant journey but I still think it should have been developed more into a professional tool but I won't go into that here...

    I tried that same beam connection skp and got 56k too, so my other elevation file must have more 'data' on it.

    Do you think he is being truthful or not? By showing your version of the picture we respond to your vision of the story. Does his version hold any ground? Doing what Baz said could either ruin his carreer from the start if he is starting. This kind of delays are typical from someone starting on his line of business, or typical of someone trying to con you. They could also be related to many other things... What do you think it's happening? Going social will probably cause great havok to him, but it could also turn against yourself. Could you show up at his place of work and try seeing his work? If so, I would do what Paul Russam suggests, as I believe your entitled to, but I would also try solving this face to face, giving him one last chance for redemption. But I know nothing more...

    @joe wood said: On my old computer I had Corel Draw and I would mainly use it to create full sized pdf templates of various parts of my structures. I'd export dxf, bring them into Corel, and then 'Publish' them to pdf. You can take that pdf to a printer and get a full sized template printed. I need a similar program on my new computer, so what should I get, Adobe Illustrator, stick with Corel, or something else?? I don't know graphics very well. If you prefer to stick to your previous workflow, have a look at Inkscape. It's open source, you can import dxf files. Install a pdf printer and you're done. Of course, you would be missing all the benefits of having a real-time link between a sketchup model and Layout. So if you want to improve your workflow you might be better off investing time in Layout.
