    @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!

    Actually, if you triple click to select all of the geometry inside the component and then apply the paint, you will paint the edges as well as the faces but of course that's because you've selected the edges along with the faces.

    Why not just select the whole handrail, right click and select soften edges and adjust them to an angle that is needed to soften the rail? Or is there a problem i don't see?

    Give your glass a real thickness. View it in Monochrome mode with a Style that uses a distinctive back_face color. If any back face looks outwards, select that face, and use the Reverse... context-menu tool. Now apply your 'stained-glass' textured-material to the faces as needed. You then need to ensure that this material is correctly configured and applied in the Podium Materials editor... Then try Podium again...

    Usually the autosaved file is stored where the original file is stored. You can search your disk for the "autosave" word. What I can say though is that sketchup 2014 kind of have a problem loading the autosaved file and it might have lost in the process..

    It is indeed a very odd thing. I removed the length-snapping in the Units setting to see if that helped etc, but the box will rotate/snap into place, BUT not perfectly as there is always a ~3mm 'overlap'... I suspect it's a tolerance thing. The project is quite large, and very small and very larger geometry will always have issues... Deleting the large surface below the stadium changes the overlap to only ~2mm ! You also have a couple of components ['Gruppe#nnn'] in the browser that seen to have no geometry in their thumbnail - perhaps their origin is miles from the geometry - which can cause weir clicking and snapping issues...

    Thanks very much Dan, That was it - I use a shortcut tool called Clavier and I'd set Alt P to do something specific, and I now see that with Clavier I can set limits on the extent of that system change.

    @dave r said: Do you use LayOut at all? Thanks for the reply. Intermittently. Primarily as a means to export 3D views of SketchUp models, not for CDs which come out of AutoCAD LT in my workflow. LO generates a much better image quality than Rhino so sometimes I'll import my Rhino work to create perspective views out of LO. Therefore, none of the big improvements of the last release affect me much.

    Could you walk me through how to do that? Im new to these more advanced shapes. It was segmented a lot more and made it very difficult to do the extruding so I used a WELD plugin to take the segment out of the line......maybe that was a poor choice

    Thanks john- so far no luck reproducing it. But i was jumping back and forth between Layout and SU, Thea and photoshop so maybe this had something to do with it. Weirdly, the color palettes list is available is Layout as Jeff pointed out. So maybe something switched it on and the pref carried over to SU. (i dont really know what i am talking about here) IF i can reproduce will post the process. thx again, And

    You might try clearing your temporary internet files/Cache.

    I went into the settings for Mystic Thumb and discovered it had a "file overide" enabled. Unchecking it made SU2014 to open skp by default.
