    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!

    I'm on mac as well , I can only guess what they might do, but would experiment instead... I'll PM you a plugin that helps set the screen to A series... then select Full Scale 1:1 and Match Screen Display try it on a simple model, first... john

    @andyg said: I dont know about length tho. Ideally, i would like to just draw lines on a layer, and then have SU sum up the lengths of all the lines on this specific layer. What would also be nice, if i could somehow highlight the all the lines on this layer, to visually check if i didnt forget any parts in the model. Anyone knows how to do this? Regards, Andy If you look ½ way down this page http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23991, TIG wrote me a script to add up hedge lengths from a separate line layer I was doing in the drawing - would that work for you?

    You may want to explode the dwg first. Just take the necessary geometry from the import and delete the rest. You may also want to check the scale is 1 to before you get started. I think Dave hit the nail on the head for the rest.

    @pbacot said: [..] do you mean you want to be able to manipulate the textures, as textures or patterns, in another SW? Is that possible? basically, yes. i tried out the Layout's hybrid rendering again, and it's pretty close to what i would like, but the only flaw it has is that the textures (and colors!) are rendered in arbitrary regions in the pdf, overlapping (or underlying) the pdf's lines. [image: PY2B_layout-hybrid-output.png] I was hoping each 'closed face' in the pdf would have its own texture, so in a time crunch i could, say, swap every second floor's texture... The main advantages I see is the ability to edit in post processing, and being able to print at both A4 and A1 formats with textures downscaled appropriately and having the crisp vector output. (or am I behind and in 2014 edition of Sketchup & Layout this already works as I would like it to?)

    There's another approach. Here is a simple example. May be more difficult with a complex plan. Using TIG's extrusion tools. Extrude edges by Vector to Object. Select all edgeds (faces selected OK) in the floor plan, extrude on blue vector, click highest point in the roof group or component. (Picture) [image: UK2m_ScreenShot2014-05-02at9.33.25AM.png]

    Keep in mind you can't do anything to modify the geometry in a group or component without opening said group or component for editing. In fact that is a very important feature you should be leveraging in your models.

    What software do you have? some point cloud files benefit from some pre-processing before using them in CAD such as SU. Have you got Excel and something that both open and save/export dwg or dxf (Autocad, Bricscad etc)? Also what is the data? will it become a terrain type surface, or is it buildings or sensor data? I ask because there are several ways to take a las file to say csv or dxf for SU import, some resulting in a more useful file than others. Goto google cache of old Stackexchange page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache;0j5MxQQhegsJ;stackoverflow.com/questions/13425551/convert-las-file-to-csv+%26amp;cd=1%26amp;hl=en%26amp;ct=clnk%26amp;gl=nz%26amp;client=firefox-a, a useful las to csv discussion there, with some solutions.

    Please search on sketchucation for a plugin which make sketchup layer transform to sketchup materials. Revit export .dwg and generate layers like Wall, Glas, Frame ...These layers remain when import to sketchup. That will help you quickly paint the whole model in the first step.

    @bsquared18 said: Is there a way to copy a component axis from one component to another? I'm not sure if i understand what you want, but to copy the axes you could copy/paste the component with the correct axes or make a dummy component and copy the geometry of the wrong oriented components into the new one (cut+paste - and after making it unique). Or copy a group instead of the component and turn it into a component later, if you need it. The size of the component axes can't be changed i think.

    Alas... that is the life of a plugin developer... You have to roll with the changes of the host program. I will say, though that SketchUp did an excellent job of alerting us to the upcoming changes and gave developers plenty of time to make changes before 2014 was released. Not all software companies give their API users that much time to get compliant before releases!

    I havent seen that one before. I wonder what software they used for the animation as these camera movements aren't easily created in SketchUp.

    Hi Jeff, no, I wasn't getting the cursor in the input field, so I couldn't assign anything, but I've just checked again now (on my mac book ) and it's working fine again, so I don't know what happened. But thanks, all is well! best regards.
