    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!

    Is there a plugins folder in the proper location? Have you tried a fresh install with the 2015 update?

    I did get thrupaint...havent quite got it mastered though. Need to read the instructions:) Just for the heck of it, I tried using the followmeandkeep plugin even though it is a straight forward follow me situation and so far the materials are staying oriented correctly around corners...not sure why that would be, but it works. p

    You can try to rebuild your Windows icon cache (in Vista, Win7, Win8) - worked for me with missing icons in the start menu (Win7): Close and save anything that you are working on. This command will kill explorer and restart the computer when completed. Open the command prompt (cmd) In the command prompt, Copy and paste each command line below exactly as is one at a time and press enter after each command. WARNING: The last command will restart the computer, so be sure to close and save anything that you are working on first. ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A shutdown /r /f /t 00 The IconCache.db file has now been rebuilt.

    @box said: You can get problems with the origin from a cad file even when it seems to be in the right place. I recently fixed a DWG that was causing clipping that the user was adamant that the origin was correct. I checked and in this case it had been imported with retain origin intact ticked, so when I looked for it the true origin of the dwg was 69,000 miles from the SU origin. The times I have a problem were with files I created in SU. I do not import other files, they have a lol been my creations.

    I'm not sure if i understand your question and your problem. But i think - depending on your groundplan and details - simply one or two components.

    usually fredo's topo shaper + trhu paint (quad mapping metod) lead to better results. i strongly suggest to give it a try..

    Thanks jeff for your efforts. I know there is lots of layers, and also I tried moving everything to a Layer0 which is sketchup default layer I believe but nothing changed in that model that you tried. Well I realize something I'm not sure about it but, SU automatically smooths some edges I think? I mean each Height Level (contours) was COMPONENT when I imported from autocad anyway, yesterday I exploded them to make it GROUP to get rid of components, and to make it just single geometry. Maybe that causes such behaviour like this.. Now I think, SU changes or soften some edges in every "make component/explode" situation in bigger geometries, models. [image: ss4.png] This is the model that Im talking about. I didnt tried on this before, shame for me If you still interesting you may check this model with unexploded height contours components. Looks like problem solved spontaneously for me . fyi, this 2nd model that I upload have much more edges than other. Thanks for your time.

    Maybe if you back up the question I have is about how to best organize my model. I'm not really yet fluent with outliner and layers and the best way to show varying model options to clients. I'm modelling my house and playing with new walls. I'll look up some youtubes on it.

    Thanks for confirming they didn't move to the Pro version or something silly like that. Reinstalled as admin this time. Now they're back. Thanks!

    @zook247 said: Ah, the amazing Ms. Eneroth III comes to my rescue yet again! Only problem is I can't seem to save the scene with these aspect ratios which would be a nice enhancement if it can even be done. to do that, one approach would be to keep the window size how it is, use the camera tools to set up your scenes, export 2D files of your scenes at desired aspect ratio, then print that file instead of printing directly from sketchup. i.e. : [image: mxg5_act1.jpg] [image: 0zTf_act2.jpg] [image: gALp_act3.jpg]

    Tricky steps of cones! But some efforts for the same result than shown on my previous video! (and you can't modify the result of the holes by editing a component! ...Try the SuForyou plugins above! Very powerful and versatile! [image: suforyou.jpg] Some fractal forms [image: simili.jpg] [image: simili1.jpg] and others concepts [image: suforyou2.jpg] [image: suforyou3.jpg] Very pleasant plugins! Zaha recommends SuForyou!

    @jim said: @ntxdave said: Again, my biggest complaint (if you want to call it that) is that you cannot specify where you want the shape drawn but as I said before, since it is placed in your model as a group it is easy to move. It would not be difficult to change the plugin so that the generated shape automatically attaches to the cursor for placement. The shapes would just need to be created as Components instead of Groups. Maybe make a feature request in the plugin thread or on github. JWM does not think he can do it (I posted in the thread you suggested). I would like the su_ version to be modified. I do not need the extra two features in jwm's version. The "native" one that works in 2015 would be fine for me...........
