    @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!

    It's been moved to C:\Users\YouUserName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins Your system may have it hidden, so if you can't find it turn on hidden files.

    The SketchUcation toolset's Plugins Manager displays your Plugins' files by name order, and its Extensions Manager lists the Extensions' by name order too... To order menus by the items' names is not practicable. The files adding them load in alphabetical order, by loaded folder, but the menu item's name will never follow the file's name... Back in SketchUp v5/6, when there were far fewer plugins, I set up a tool that did the restructuring of categorized plugins under plugins submenus, by renaming their files and editing their menu-loading code, but this is entirely unworkable given the explosion in the number of plugins available, and their complexity and the disproportionate efforts involved in updating any such setup, etc.

    Smooth models turn to mesh. Stays that way.

    Plus smoothing the furniture rather than hiding the edges would work too. A simple example of the difference between soft and hidden. [image: bptC_SoftHide.JPG]

    Thanks a gigaton! I've been pulling my hair in frustration for the past two months about this openstudio problem. Then i installed legacy openstudio plugin but got stuck somewhere else. Frustration at peak.. But now, everything is cool... I'm feeling like Tom Cruise of Jerry Maguire movie screaming "Show me the forums . I love SCF people" Thanks from the bottom of my heart..

    Excellent, Thanks Tig, never seen the Klein before. Also the shape I made is not dissimilar to a volute I think.

    @jql said: I prefered the previous numbering and, if they missed the point with 2013 wich should have been 9, then I believe this would be Sketchup 10. Imagine: Sketchup X! Sketchup X with the trimble logo in black! Pretty stylish if you'd ask me! Maybe the X could be the move icon... that's an apple thing https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/ https://www.apple.com/osx/ pretty sure 'X' is out of the name game pool

    @oceanembers said: @slbaumgartner said: Pretty vague, sweeping, and in my experience (I use a Mac) unsubstantiated statement! There are some problems that occur only on Windows and some that occur only on Mac, but neither is "slightly problematic". Ok ok you got me -holds hand in air- I used a vague and unsubstantiated statement in the hopes of convincing this kind man to avoid paying for overpriced hardware in a pretty box with a clunky OS Seriously, not gonna go any further into this because I have a definite bias here, but I really don't think a Mac is worth the price you pay. I'm also not interested in a religious war. I use both PC and Mac. But I object to innuendo offered without any facts, just based on rumor and bias. I would react the same way to a Mac bigot.

    Please also note that it's not just SU Pro which is 64-bit... Even SU Make is 64-bit... I suggest that discussion continues in the SketchUp 2015 is 64bit thread...

    maybe you need to weld vertices? I think I recall a function in 3dsmax that merges all overlapping vertices.

    Glad you got it to work. From what you describe, there wasn't any point in making components from the groups so those were unneeded steps.

    Hello everyone, I am an avid sketchup user for over 10 years(in the profession of architecture) and want to make the break from most other programs in my workflow to really only using sketchup and layout in my own practice. I don't own my own computer, but want to buy one soon so that I can start working for myself. If anyone has any hints and suggestions of what to buy and where to buy it would help a lot. Not much of a tech guy, I can use a computer but have no idea of how to build one. I'm also not interested in realistic type rendering but I do a lot of work with advanced styles in sketchup (which I've found some problems in my graphics card at work related to advanced style manipulation). Mainly want a computer to run sketchup pro, layout, photoshop, photosketcher, and basic office software. Looking for desktop tower and two HD monitors. I do some masterplanning related site annimations also. any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Josh

    Hi dear SketchUppers, A second solution which gives the same result This alternative way is a bit longer to achieve because you need to delete the circle and clean cpoints and clines, but this ancient TIG's set of tools although poorly known can bring great services. The plugin used is TIG's TrueTangents v3.0 The tool used is True Intersections. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=160780#p160780 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TrueTangents [image: odRV_RightTriangle_002.jpg] [image: cMah_RightTriangle_003.jpg] [image: Vu0W_RightTriangle_004.jpg] [image: pMa9_RightTriangle_005.jpg] Cheers, Simon

    Matheos, Just as should have done in my example, you will probably want to increase the segments on your wheel considerably for that close-up, and add rounded edges to the wheel and frame. You'll like it more. Peter
