    @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!

    If you mean why did I rollback the driver, it is suggested by windows to do this if performance problems are an issue. I interpreted this as one reason for the BSOD and display problems. Using available tools through Windows Control Panel was my first approach. After about 3 reports to wherever it is sent, I got back a response in the "Solve PC issues" system tray message thingy that Hewlett-Packard personnel wanted to have a crack at this. But the dataform presented was all about laptops, not desktops, and this just looked like another deadend backwater path to travel down. EDIT: If you mean why did my profile say 2013? That was an oversight which I have corrected herewith. I am still using 2014, and this is the version in which I am experiencing this issue.

    That's kool Seasdes, it does sketchup thumbnails and you can drag in drop into sketchup? Looks like it's free or €10 donationware http://www.irfanview.com/ Good news pbacot... @unknownuser said: Q: Can I use IrfanView on Mac? A: Yes, probably. There is no native-Mac version of IrfanView. However, you can use IrfanView in conjunction with Mac program like WineBottler/DARWINE. Take the ZIP version of IrfanView and unzip it or copy your existing Windows IrfanView folder to Mac. This is easier because the installer may need additional Windows DLLs to run.

    @beaubeashore said: Edit. I know how to Copy Along Path --> Copy To Spacing and enter a set spacing. What I'd like to do is divide the arc into a set amount of equal parts and then place a component at each newly created point. The problem is, if I use Copy Along Path --> Copy To Path Nodes, I can't seem to select multiple paths, so then it only copies for one "segment", giving me just two components instead of moving around the entire arc. Hope this makes sense. Thanks! The issue you are having is easily fixed by welding your segments together to form one 'Path'. There are various welding tools, Tig Weld, Curvizard or plain old Weld are just three that spring to mind. So however you go about getting the correct number of segments afterwards remember to join them together so that other tools will see them as a path.

    Why there is no multithreading? Why there is no support for alembic files? Why Sketchup is so slow in terms of saving large files? Why there is no support for fast import of obj files?

    @mwm5053 said: I've been using SU 8 Pro and skipped SU 2013 but started using 2014 because I saw big improvements that were worth checking out mainly faster shadows. So my 8 hour time expired but won't let me use a free ver. like 2013 SU Make. Till I can afford to upgrade assuming I can jump from SU 8 to 2014 for the 95.00 upgrade fee {can I ?} wondering why it won't let me use free ver. SU 2014 Pro trial ends after 8 hours use. But remains on your computer. You need to uninstall first, then install SU 2014 Make (trial). I guess you won't get the extra 8 hours now. It reverts to the free version. You can upgrade later to pro by entering the license key.

    Gareth, it's been talked about a lot around here and migrating your plugins is not a good idea for this incarnation of sketchup. The ruby version has changed and a great many plugins needed to be updated to work with it, some still haven't been updated. Copying your plugins means you are potentially using out of date plugins that will cause you problems. It is best to start again and load them fresh therefore ensuring that you have the most up to date versions, and you can clean out those plugins that you never really use. It is very easy now with the SketchUcation plugin store, auto install what you need as you need it. Or the Extension warehouse. The few plugins from outside these places can be installed in there own way but be aware they may not yet work with 2014.

    Solar North Toolbar -- Where is it in SU 2014?

    Thanks, Thomas, for your help and response. For some reason, I thought the Solar North was included in SU 2013 (much like some of the camera plug-ins). But my memory is getting feebler by the minute, so I'm sure your're right. I think that the idea of better integration of the EW with SketchUp is really good and it seems that the ability to truly customize SU without a bunch of features that you won't use much is forward thinking and useful. I'll go about getting the Solar North plug-in and installing it, and while I'm at it, I'll look around to see what other customization options might be available. Thanks again!!

    I emailed Trimble yesterday with the same request, Still haven't heard back from them. Tomorrow it's taking my current reseller already 1 week to send me the new code for release 2014. Their response until know: "we're waiting for them to send us the codes." Very strange and not happy about it... 8 hour trail period was already 90% gone on the first day... High hopes for tomorrow. edit: at last, on Friday I get my new codes from the reseller & Trimble a few hours later.

    Hi: I think this is right: When you create a new template based on an existing one, you will notice in the style large image a circular arrow imposed over the image. Click on the image, as the arrow represents that you must update in order for it to save.

    fyi; Think you will have to look at % systemroot%\memory dump. If not getting dump paging file maybe set too low; c:\windows\mini dump look at with debugger. If memory not failing me the little box is set to allow ok to send data to MS OCA?? Service will need the dump files

    That's a good list Fredo. Many of those are on my own personal wish list as well. There certainly isn't a shortage of things to do. The hard part is figuring out where to start. :s
