    @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!

    Your beam does not need to be so poly-heavy! You can achieve details like that in a render using a mix of normal/bump and displacement maps, with only enough geometry detail to define the silhouette. It doesn't matter so much for this model, maybe, but if you created an entire scene like this, I'd not be surprised if your computer gave up the ghost.

    Just a thought, but do you have any abnormally large textures that could be causing issues? Otherwise, I'd say delete things until the weirdness stops (in a backup obviously), add things back in until it starts, and try to diagnose it that way. As for why it's fine in a new model, I'd say perhaps the issue is within a group/component and doesn't kick off until it's accessed?

    As driven has said, unticking export two sided faces should handled this situation. So i did some more tests and i have found out that my problem is my sketchup, or version of sketchup. I'm using the 2014 version and no matter what i do it messes up my export file. I installed the 2105 and it works perfectly. I don't have a clue on why this happens, but at least i have found a way to solve my problem. Thank you so much for your fast replies! It helped me alot.

    I've used the tool with a preselection of one group with many subgroups, you too? The tool have many different options, I would suggest to watch Fredos video to see the different possibilities...

    @unknownuser said: Thank you for the offer, however I believe that would be a lot of work that wouldn't be of use to most Sketchup user. Just a reasonable work, in hours, to add the feature with a custom editable list. @unknownuser said: On another note, if you look at the image, you will see that the bottom part of your form is not being displayed. Maybe the box should be a little taller. I fixed the problem in Fredotools v2.7e. Fredo

    @wo3dan said: @aureus said: .... No way through Windows Explorer like in old good times? Security measures, I guess... This may help you finding plugins in newer (SU-2014 and 2015) versions: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/38583 Thank you, Gerrit! This is what I've been searching for. There it is: SketchUp 2014: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins I don't know why it's there but at least I don't have to start the program in order to meddle with the Plugins folder. Now I can finally make a mess again with no much effort.

    Nothing specific. As I've never run any AMD cards w SU, I just wanted to make sure there are not any GFXCard issues. Thx for your input.

    @jql said: I usually use groups/components for this. If you set the axis inside a group or a component it will never revert to the original position again until you change it back or explode and regroup it. You can have as many axis as there are groups and they are independent from scenes and they are being used on the fly as you're jumping from group to another group editing stuff. This is way better than Ortho ON as this is multiple intelligent and context sensitive user driven ortho on the fly. +1
