    @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!

    Maybe triangulate points by TIG if you have a cloud of points and / or Toposhaper by Fredo6 if you have level lines...

    I find that happens whenever I switch from Perspective to Parallel Projection. All I do to solve it is zoom extents, which works a bit like a "regen" in ACAD.

    Here is one solution using DC A cubic with two DC holes (cut2, includes the rim) As for scaling, one requires the insert point to be on the outside otherwise to hard to calculate, therefore place the surround with toggle to inner (smaller) size, place and scale to suit opening then use interact finger to toggle to outer. Cheers Philip PS another method using four cubic components, would be to join them without worrying about hidden lines/ faces. But to incorporate a outer shell/ explosion at some point when happy with the object created. Then one can use "cutlist" or other for material takeoff, as shown in some of my other posts. one can swap the childless component with its original if one need to amend it at some later point.

    It continues to reinforce that SU is capable in preparing construction documents. I haven't made the leap to SU for a complete set of con docs. When see stuff like this I really want to. The workflow and techniques are not all there yet for me. Anytime you can detail a set to this degree it will diminish onsite errors.

    @xiombarg said: If you are going to tweak it anyway, you might want to use one of the ASIMO models in the 3D warehouse. The body has a similar build and you could model a new head if you need to. I was fixated on searching for the VGC and blew by the ASIMO models, thanks for the reminder. I'm using the internal mechanics from some open source humanoids like InMOOV (hands)and Intel's Jimmy (arms/legs), with the VGC head. Since the Tumblr pics available, it will give me a chance to try some of the photo to 3D modelling freeware out there now to start the head. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Sorry it took some time to get back to you. Thanks for the tips! It seems like it just takes time and practice, which is hard to stomach sometimes when you're on a deadline I'll keep at it

    It isn't possible with the Section tool. You could make a cutting surface to cut through and intersect it with the model.

    More on this: Here are examples of the same model and same sketchy line style exported at different sizes. [image: oFed_Massing1578.png] [image: z985_Massing3000.png] [image: IezB_Massing6000.png] Here's a comparison of the three. [image: jVYE_Massingcomparison.png] You'll see that there's more detail in the larger exports although the lines get thinner. You have to weigh out what you need to show and how. You can leverage this to get varying line weights in the same images as in this one: [image: 5IUk_AdirondackChairmarker.png] The styles I make always use the maximum number of stroke lengths and the maximum number of strokes per length so as to make it possible to get the most detail.

    Any chance you'd share the SKP with me privately? We can see what it looks like on another machine.

    I don't know what method you are using to transfer the files, but in some cases (e.g. FTP) you need to make sure that the file is designated to be binary. Otherwise the transfer may try to convert line ending characters between Windows, UNIX, and Mac conventions, and that will surely corrupt a binary file such as a skp.
