    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?

    @mzarja said: Hello! I need an advice. I'm creating a house visualisation in SketchUp Pro. I have various components (furniture) and I need to set one colour to all of them. Is there any way of doing that without changing colour to each and every component manually, like not colouring all component faces separately? Thanks in advance! This one-liner will color ALL component instances RED. Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each{|cd| next if (cd.group?||cd.image?);cd.instances.each{|e| e.material='red'}}

    The ratchet is the pump mechanism, you turn the handle and it winds the bar up to move the piston. Rack and pinion. Another version here. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20933/lot/92/

Starting to learn Ruby is on the to-do list once I'm through my current set of deadlines. Thanks for the link and the recommendation. I'll check it out.

    Hmmmm... It worked for me. [image: 2VKe_Screenshot-2_28_201511_55_47AM.png] I attached the SKP file. When you open it, is the image there? Can you import a different image as a Match Photo? PhotoMatch.skp

    @unknownuser said: To suggest 3 days is going to get you satisfactory results is not realistic. I guess that was a pretty accurate statement. I don't expect you had much luck with this. I certainly wouldn't expect you to. I think it is a testimony to how difficult it is to find off the shelf animation that can do anything reasonable with water. It's doesn't seem to be available.

    The clipping in sketchup is one of the most frustratingly long-standing issues around. Try switching your camera to perspective, that usually works as a quick fix.

    When you do an array of cutting components you need to watch out for copying multiples to different faces. A couple of instances of the same component tend not to cut when placed on different faces, whereas an array of one instance will pretty much cut anything it hits. Here you see an array of 7 cuts even when it only hits the corner of the building, but array more than one to different faces and it fails to cut. There is a specific rule about what works and what doesn't but I can't put my finger on it right now. [image: biNw_CutArray.gif]

    pbacot, I use Podium for rendering. I will have to jump over there and see if I can find a way to do what you are suggesting. I should have thought to look at my render program for a process. Thanks

    So, five years later, SU's handling of toolbars still sucks. What exactly is it we're paying for if the devs ignore user issues with the most basic functionality?

    In vanilla sketchup: -You can create a face in the correct orientation, texture that, set the texture to "projected", and use the texture from that to paint your model with plugins: -Pixero's UV Projection plugin might help you out here, it will speed up the approach I described for vanilla -Marginal's UV editor could also work nicely, albeit with a little more effort -I haven't used ThomThom's UV toolkit, but I believe it could present a solution of some description

    Guess what: that's not the entire ship. As said, that file is just the part isolated. The file size is because of those textures [EDIT] Yeah, it's the texture's fault. I resized it to 25% of it's original size and now it shows up just fine. I didn't know there was a max texture size that Kerkythea could handle
