    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!

    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.

    "Cut opening" component linear arrays (using Move tool)

    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

    Yes this has been around since the @last days. I only come across it when I've inserted a siteplan or similar from AutoCad. It used to be reported as a bug a lot, but I guess it's been grandfathered in as something that can't be fixed? Or maybe it just keeps being put on the "next time" list.

    sketch3d.de, the impression I got was that we couldn't use the old network license together with the new stand-alone licenses.

    Dave R Sorry about the missunderstanding. I personally don`t have Sketchup Pro and this issue is more work related (were I use Pro) than personal. Ive used the move tool a lot and didnt found it difficult to use, but also found the locking Z axis trick. The difference is quite noticeable, especially when time, speed and accuracy are crucial. Thank you very much for your answers! cotty I know that method but Im afraid that it would not help me much, only if I can change the attributes for multiple selected components (wich I quess doesnt work). If not, it`s not worth the effort, in comparison with the move tool option. Thanks for the answer.

    The only legitimate source for SketchUp no matter what version and the link you referenced earlier shows the only versions they are making available. If you have the original file downloaded and you are worried about needing to reinstall it, you ought to save a copy of the file somewhere safe.

    In my practice as an architect I have replaced AutoCad completely with Sketchup Pro and Layout years ago. Now my pc is getting an upgrade. This is what I will keep: Storage: Samsung HD 1035SJ ATA Device 1TB SSD-storage: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256 GB ATA Device Windows 7 Professional New: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Boxed Motherboard: Asus Republic Of Gamers Z97 MAXIMUS VII GENE Video Card: GeForce GTX 980 4GB Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C8G3D1608ET3LX0CEU (2* 8gb = 16gb) The budget must stay realistic. Thanks a lot for any thoughts or recomendations.

    Same happens to me. I click it until it lets me open it. Usually about three times. As for the recursively creating skb files, I have found out that SUSOLIDS makes it worse. After I removed the plugin that didn't happened that much.

    I expect you'll find that people do different things but for standard types of construction, I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to draw entire structures with all that detail. Nick uses "canned" representative illustrations for those sorts of things. You should consider the time you'd have invested in placing all those entities and the return on that investment.
