    @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!

    If your model is very large and/or you are drawing something very far from the model origin, you can get effects like that when SketchUp and the OpenGL hardware can't track locations consistently with each other due to computer arithmetic limitations.

    @baggins said: must be a criminal mind at work when it comes to where the mystical "plug in" folder is lurking--i have looked in evry nook and cranny on my hd--nada--zip--kudos folks for creating the most obfuscating piece of ******* every conceived Evidently you didn't look in "every nook and cranny" because it is there. And you didn't read this thread before posting in it because it has been explained, above. On the PC, it is under your username/App Data/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins. It is located there because Windows set security so users can't install files in directories in Program Files and way too many users weren't able to figure out how to change permissions. The "criminal mind" as you call it also made it so that you shouldn't need to access the Plugins folder directly by offering the Install Extension tool as well as the extension Warehouse. And for extensions available here on Sketchucation, there is the Plugin Store tool which, like Extension Warehouse installed extensions/plugins automatically.

    Have you tried logging in ? It's usually a one time only requirement. Use your SketchUcation membership name and password. Once you have done it, then you should never get prompted again ?

    @TIG, I did ask that at the start but overlooked the reply... @filippobasso said: About OSX install, I've a normal "File System Personality: Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" OSX install, yes @Filippo, this is not a normal OSX install, and many apps will run into problems, not just SU... I believe OS X server and iOS are [Case-sensitive], but OS X became 'Case Preserving' in its standard releases... there are are few threads with reply from SketchUp staff discussing the known problems you will have... your second mac must have the 'standard' journalling if it works... john

    Well, I hope you're right and it doesn't happen again. That Ctrl X would cut the selection to the clipboard where it would still be available to paste until you hit Ctrl C or quit SketchUp. Still, it's worth paying close attention. Good luck.

    TIG, that sounds like a the type of solution I would be looking for, although I was hoping there was an existing plugin that does something similar It does seem like good practice for some scripting though, so I will definitely give it a shot in the coming 2-3 weeks (I am pretty basic at scripting as well, so it will take me quite a bit of time)! Pilou, I am not sure I understand. My problem would be that I would not only have to apply each of the 200 different textures (not repeated as in my example screenshots), but also adjust them to fit perfectly within the hexagons. Could ThruPaint help with that as well? From what I gather from the descriptions I read, it doesnt really have functionality for this purpose?

    Matt, sorry for not replying till now. No, I don't think the naming would be an issue, just that the Xref itself may be a problem.

    @slbaumgartner said: Does Windows SketchUp support assigning any F keys as shortcuts? It doesn't on Mac (you just get a 'ding' if you try). Yes. I have F2, F3 and F4 assigned to the three component flip commands and Shift+F2, Shift+F3, and Shift+F4 to the Flip along model axis commands.

    Warning! "It will realign North in each processed view, but all recent versions of SketchUp allow only one North at a time, so you'll need to copy the model's SKP for each shadowed view and use the scene-tabs to get proper shadows..."

    I had no issues with El Capitan and SU Pro 2016 however the OS wouldn't recognise my Brother Wireless Printer nor my Epson 4490 PhotoSmart Scanner. There were no available drivers that were compliant, so reverted back to Yosemite.

    Subject: Making measured drawings from warehouse drawings @daddywoofdawg said: I'm using 2016 make and have downloaded a "drawing"from 3d warehouse.I can run the tape over it to get measurements,but what I want to do is make measured drawing with measured components/parts to print out. So my question is how to Make measured drawings from warehouse drawings? The full answer to you question is very long and it depends on how the "drawing" was created. Did the author use components when they drew it? Did they make them correctly and precisely? Assuming they did do those things, you would be able to place copies of the components in the model and use the Dimension Tool to add dimensions and the text tool to add callouts and labels. Scenes will provide you with views you can return to and layers will provide you visibility control. If you want to make professional-looking plans you could use LayOut and add the dimensions and text there.
