    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!

    Rich, I can fully understand your position. I was just struggling to try to find some way to make it easier to find the tips and tricks that people post. Sometimes I remember seeing something but cannot find it. The search facility is OK but many times it does not get me to what I am looking for. The other thing is that many times the search engine will point to a thread but what you are looing for is buried in the middle of a big string of posts. I know there is no perfect solution but I was trying to find a way to organize the many great pieces of information people share in this forum. My original post was trying to find a mechanism, like a flag, that would maybe provide a more efficient way to find/retrieve information. I do not know how the backend of the forum engine works but I assume it is a database. Again, in the back of my mind, I was thinking about a facility that would allow someone (moderator or poster) to add the flag which would popup a dropdown list of categories (SU Tools and Plugin names) that could be associated with the post. Then the search engine would allow you to select by those flags so the individual post could be retrieved without having to find it buried in the middle of a long thread. I like your thought of putting together some way (like a vote) to get feedback on whether people would be interested in a facility like that.

    Yep, I agree with Thom and most of the comments here. I have had mine for years and only use it for positioning 'cameras' and for getting the view out of walls/tables/the floor when it gets stuck. It is also really fun in Google Earth!

    Modified example with a door in 4 positions: The plugin scenes_v2.rb is limited to 4 trigger positions. Scene animation does not work correctly. The properties of the DCs are not remembered in the scenes. They are triggered from 1 to 4 no matter what scene you click on as next and how much scenes you have in the model. With an understanding of these limitations, the plugin should still be useful... door test

    @fabcn said: Great tool, thanx TT! One question though: is there a way to automatically create quad faces on non-quadface planar surface (you seem to do it manually from 1:32 to 1:50). Two classical examples are: extruded plywood chair (such as in your example), or follow me road. I would like to avoid draw lines to make quad faces on the road surface or chair border. Is it possible? It could be very long process, and your tool seem to do great complicated things (likely to 3DSMax), and this simple thing seems not to exist... Maybe not that easy to program though!! Have a look at TIGs Split Tools: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=43376 (Note this is actually 4 small scripts that need installing to make them work.)

    I put all my plugins in a common place and then tell sketchup to look there. For me to go from 7 to 8 to 2013 to 2014 to 2015 to t016 is effortless. Since I am a plugins author and want my plugins to work with all these versions I want all of this to be seamless. If you are interested in how this works then PM me.

    @srx said: You need to be more patient in reading. You missed this : @srx said: Today I found out that plugin has time limit. How to continue using it? @dimitri972 said: I fixed time expired problem. Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download/brjzmnqzbcv38fp/RichSectionv0.5.8FULLByDimitri.zip Author was't answering question for months. I tried to fixing expired issue and fixed. If this isn't wanting thing in this forum, you can delete my post. I don't know forum rules. I did see the link but did not understand that is was a fix for the plugin. The fix needs to be made to the version that is in the Plugin Store in SketchUcation (which is where I got the plugin). This means that everyone who downloads if from SketchUcation is getting a version that does not work. According to the info on the SketchUcation web site, it was updated 03-01 of 2015. There also is no mention of licensing, time out period, or cost for the plugin. Just trying to clarify so that others do not have the same problem although I saw that it has been downloaded over 12000 times. I would like some clarification on what is going on.

    not sure what works for extensions, certainly Sketchuaction pluginstore plugin and Extension Warehouse should do for plugins / extensions, licensing (for PAID content) is going to be your issue though... for models, etc. you can try: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=rob_cloud

    If you want a 'crib', then why not look at my [somewhat old but still working]: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=OBJexporter It exports the SKP's geometry, and deals with 'containers', transformations etc... There are several 'exporters' in the PluginStore which may have additional/better clues...

    For me it takes up more screen space in it pinned state and if it's not locked when the mouse moves away it rolls away till I mouse back over it. The problem for me so far is working with colors and maps and seeing the results, make changes, ect. I have to go back and rollover the area to work with the dialog box or lock it in place and have it take up screen space. For me it's about time, it was quicker before just moving my mouse and seeing what I need to see or make changes and it did not affect my screen space. I could work with it rolled up or not, I could work /render around that space no matter if its rolled up or not. I am old school Autocad DOS and still today I move faster typing/using shortcut and not so much the button menu is newer versions till I get use to the new set up and find what I like to use till the next version. I can jump in to the new version and keep working till I get time or I get use to the new changes. I guess it's my fault, I got on the post because I wanted to work on a project I needed done quickly and I just started working with it in 2016. I should have done it in 2015 where everything was already set up. I guess I need a second screen...a new graphic card to support 2 screen... a newer computer...... Thanks to all of you, I will need to read more of these post and try and understand all the changes and rework my work flow.

    @driven said: it sound like you use 'Align Axis' which is a temporary state by design... for a post import ruby fix, you need to clarify what file types you refer to as the vary greatly... john Maybe that would explain why I haven't ever seen the axes move on their own. If I want to change a component's axes location, I use Change Axes which is not temporary.
