    @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!

    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...........

    @lersince1991 said: I need the outer bounding edges rather than the inner. I think everyone understands you want the bounding edges. Are they on the same plane? If so, retracing any edge will create the face which will then allow for the identification of the edges that form the boundary. If you can share a sample model, it will help us help you.

    UPDATE: I figured out how to get Sketchup cameras in Fusion. In the 3D scene import options of Fusion, the title starts with FBX so naturally I thought that format was a necessity. Turns out I could use a 3ds, obj, dae, etc. through the same import options so I exported a 3ds from SU and it worked. Just reporting this in case anyone is also interested.

    I did a quick test. Unfortunately, it seems to me the image quality is pretty bad in exporting at high resolution. Here's a small crop of a larger render. I exported the full image at 5000px (both originals are PNG, saved as jpg in another program for upload here.) It appears any time SU has to compress or enlarge the image, the image quality suffers. You might have better luck using a rendering engine, most can handle rendering large textures with much better results. [image: EYh6_grace-interior_v6b-Scene6.jpg] [image: fYDe_grace_st-from-png.jpg]

    There are several topo plugins, none of which I have used, Toposhaper for one. But off the top of my head I would say have you tried Tig's Slicer. It will create multiple slices and even lay them out flat as individual contours.

    Thank you David, I accept what you say. I will try single columns. The dividers can be a waste of valuable space but when used with 2 columns wide they can be useful for grouping commands IMO. Kind regards, Andrew

    @krisidious said: Not sure... I don't have it. Did you have pro and then the trial ran out? Seems like you wouldn't have had enough time for your trial to run out though. You might try installing with the internet disabled. Just a thought. That would be pretty irritating and would push a bunch of people out of the range of Sketchup and that would be a mistake IMHO. Actually I installed it without being connected to the internet. I should do the otherwise now, hehe, installing it while my net is still active. @jason_maranto said: I had the same issue when I installed using my removable USB wireless adapter -- if I removed the adapter I would get the "SketchUp cannot start due to a licensing error" message. What I found to be true in my case was I needed some type of network hardware active in order to start SketchUp -- but did not need to be actually connected to the internet. Something to do with the SketchUp license being tied to that particular machine as identified via a MAC address. In my case I had some Ethernet ports on my computer that I usually keep disabled (because they are not connected to anything) -- by enabling them and re-licensing SketchUp I was able to remove the USB wireless adapter and still start SketchUp (because the Ethernet ports supply the needed MAC address, even though they are not connected to anything). Best, Jason. You are saying really technical stuff to me. Please explain step by step what you did.

    Try changing the OpenGL setting for Hardware Acceleration. You may have to quit and restart SketchUp after that.
