    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!

    @box said: Have a read here. http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/37-beginner/315-edges-bleeding-through-geometry Thanks for that. It's a problem I run into continually relative to a particular product I have to draw in many variations (drum shades for a retail client) so a workaround is very much appreciated. If it's any consolation the problem is more apparent in Rhino than in SketchUp. Not sure why.

    I'm having the same issue when i use the fbx exporter, all object/group/component pivots get default to the origin. I've seach quite a bit and havent found a way within sketchup, to keep pivot position for an fbx export. Havent try the glue modifier in max yet. As the OP i would prefer a solution within sketchup. The collada exporter seems to be ok with pivot but has quite a few other issue when importing into a game engine like outerra. So i really need the fbx exporter to work.

    @box said: I think he wants a shortcut for the toolbar not the tool. Well, he can't have it ! Toolbar states are not shortcut-able. He could write a script to toggle the toolbar on/off and then shortcut to that script's entry in a menu... But he needs to find the toolbar to do that... There are a few better methods for v2014, but it's still not easy...

    I think the only way is to make custom toolbars with the needed tools from the large toolset: (use Ctrl to move a copy!) [screenr:1efh5uvx]0s1N[/screenr:1efh5uvx]

    'salright. Personally I find it amazingly annoying to work in Parallel Projection. Normal humans don't see that way. Why would we draw that way if we don't have to? I would suggest if you need that kind of views, you wait until you're ready to export the images and set up scenes as needed.

    Thanks a lot for the help guys! I've been playing with the Solid Inspector, which works like a charm! It works that great that I no longer need stuff like Netfabb to fix the model.

    Suggest Artisan by whaat and ThruPaint by Fredo6 Edit: if you are still looking, check this thread by "cotty". It demonstrates the capabilities of Artisan. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=335%26amp;t=42938#p382310 I will go get the thread on ThruPaint, or you can search it. EDIT: ThruPaint http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44552#p397448 By the way, there are other tools available. These are two that came to mind. Look at Extrude Tools by TIG and UV tools by ThomThom, for instance.

    I use 3skeng on a daily basis, however, I don't use the Steel work, but the piping libraries... You can purchase additional libraries, so I suggest you write to 3skeng support...

    It was noticed earlier (maybe version 13) that if you place a custom material folder with the same name as a SU default folder into your user/materials folder, then SU will only show the default folder. I rename all my custom folders so then the material browser will show both. My browser is full of cladding (the default) and cladding 1 (my cladding folder that I have been adding to for years), roofing and roofing 1 etc. It makes the browser crowded but it works.

    Have you changed networks since? I know you travel a bit. Did you open SU2014 somewhere else and now you are opening it in a different network? Or did you change you network settings at all recently?

    @draner5 said: bonjour, je rencontre un problème de lenteur avec sketchup pro 2014 avec un modèle de 57 Mo, ce qui est normal vue la taille; mais avec un autre modèle de seulement 700 Ko cela devient une éxtrème lenteur (plusieures minutes quelque-soit la commande utilisée) ce qui n'est pas normal vue la faible taille du modèle conçu de la mème façon que le modèle 57 Mo. Bonjour, Il s'agit d'un forum anglophone, donc s'il vous plaît poster en anglais, ou post dans le forum français. En outre, votre question est sur ​​SketchUp 2014, ce qui n'est pas approprié dans ce fil de discussion, ce qui est pour SketchUp 8. Néanmoins, vous devez savoir que la taille du fichier et la complexité géométrique ne sont pas les mêmes. Petits fichiers qui ont de grandes quantités de géométrie ou qui font usage de modèles sommaire de pointe peut être plus difficile à utiliser dans SketchUp que les fichiers qui sont grands que parce qu'ils contiennent des textures photo. Merci! Andrew

    I never see any ads here that are not sketchup related. I often hear about or see things for the first time in these ads. I would add an exception in your blocker for SketchUcation.

    Here is an example of a messed-up solid, and how to create it. Works every time. I'm astonished that such a basic operation would cause a problem. In my experience, if I work an 8-hour day doing complex mechanical assemblies with SU, at least 1 hour is spent fixing solids. Happened again yesterday, with very simple parts: flat plates or angle iron with holes punched through them. Seems as if every other time I move the holes or change their dimensions, the whole thing goes ka-boom and I have to start over. Messed up solid.skp
