    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!

    Box made a nice animated GIF that shows the process very well. It may not be obvious in his clip but the first intersection results in a hole as evidenced by the profile edges around it. I use this process of copying or cutting geometry to the clipboard and then pasting it in place inside components in almost every model I draw. I use Edit>Paste in place enough that I created a keyboard shortcut.

    use latest SU version 2015 (profile shows 2014) do install and first launch with admin rights e.g. by "Right Clicking > Run as Admin..." disable all plugins at "Window > Preferences > Extensions" or by moving away from the SU plugin directory especially if using older ones and activate one by one for finding the culprit disable "Window > Preferences > OpenGL > Use Hardware Acceleration" if using an incompatible/lame video card as e.g. intel GMA/HD/Iris hth

    I use Vali Architects instant roof. It has a feature to add details to a roof. The slate option looks like cladding. The script requires you to rotate the wall like a roof before it will allow you to add it, but then I just tilt it back.

    I've changed my method, now using the Bitmap to Mesh plugin from ThomThom. One word. Amazing. Saves me a lot of hassle in illustrator, live tracing etc... or installing Maya for displacement map. Case Closed

    As I said, it isn't the installation of SketchUp that required the permissions change. At some point under Win7 you had to change the permissions for the Plugins folder to be able to install files to it. That wasn't the case on XP, though. It shouldn't take so long to get SU2015 set up the way you want it. it isn't meant to be difficult. It should actually be easier. It would probably go faster, though, if you keep up with the version updates. Maybe I should start offering a SketchUp setup service. I could do it with remote access. SketchUp can pick up shortcuts automatically although I haven't tried that with such a big version jump.

    I never understood why these "advanced" cameras have these stupid huge frustums and contruction lines. And there is no way to disable them so that the camera is created without them (or at least i don't know how to do it). If you delete them, they are coming back. Who "invented" this sh*t?!? It must have been someone who never worked in Sketchup. I mean... how long do we have to deal now with these OGL clipping problems? Yes, since the beginning - more than 10 years! And the ACT was added in 2007-2008? And another annoying point of the ACT... i don't know how many times i have lost a view because i accidently clicked in the unlocked viewport. WHY can't this camera just work like the standard camera and get only updated when you click "update"?!? I only need the ACT to control the tilt of the camera - if there would be a simple plugin where you can set this value or simply set it to 0° i would never use them again...

    What I left out of the mix is Apple's 'auto restore window' functionality... I think this can come into play if switching between models in the same session... I have no hard evidence of when or if this occurs, but it would explain some of the seemingly odd folders that pop up... Like many, I no longer use 'AutoSave' or 'Save Backup' and prefer 'Save Copy As' over 'Save As' and religiously use S... even with this I get caught out... john

    @bob james said: @bmike said: Does the Space Navigator stall if you move the mouse at the same time as trying to orbit or Zoom with the navigator? No. And that's one of the great features. well then something is wonky with mine. if my mouse is moving, the orbit / pan / etc. is really choppy. if i keep the mouse still it flows nicely. Video: https://youtu.be/MU7Y9EZ_cnk As soon as I bump the mouse, or move it, the flow gets choppy.

    @pilou said: At the "pause" Save your file! So if you reload it as a new session of SU, you can change anything before relaunch a new simulation! Thank you Pilou! That works although I cannot press file>save when in pause. I Ctrl+S but was not sure if it worked. It sat there long enough to give me an autosave so I wasn't worried. When I restarted, it launched normally with my bowl of cereal the way I left it.
