    @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!

    Dave, Great example of the variety of line effects you can get just by adjusting the image's export size. All of these tips and tutorials have been very valuable and I appreciate everyone's help.

    @dave r said: If the selected objects are components, you can save each of them as separate SKP files by right clicking and choosing Save as... Or you could make a nested component containing the objects you're interested in and again use Context>Save as... Or, if the objects are components and you want to save them separately, you could drag their thumbnails from the In Model components library to a desired local folder in the Components window. None of those options work, though, if you are using groups instead of components. This was helpful! Thanks!

    When you have the feet selected you see the available modifier keys at the bottom of the screen. They have their uses. Like moving up the face of a building etc. Set the eye height at any time simply by typing the value and enter. The Eye tool is basically looking from your head, so you are able to look up and down as well as side to side. Whereas the feet keep your eyeline level until you change it.

    The blank thumbnail may well be caused by you saving the 'Model' component in a different view. If it's an external component and you have edited the file it may have 'Redefine the thumbnail on save' which is an option in the Model Info.

    Double click. The bounding box should turn from solid blue to dotted grey when in edit mode.

    This might be a good suggestion to post on the SU wish list. For the stuff I do, a lot of my models end up in a printed 2D format, and I suspect this would be the case for many of us (especially architects) so it would make sense to have print quality 2D images instead of the jagged line stuff we have currently.

    Thanks to all for your assistance. Had to do a design work around due to time constraints. Will have a play with all suggestions when I get time. Interesting technique, Dave, Never would have thought of that! Cheers
