    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 wasn't aware it was fixed but I see that check mark now. I wonder if the suggestion to reset the toolbars was the fix.

    Yea, I have had that thought before. And that is partly why I asked those questions. However, I have more or less accepted that my security system: firewall, antivirus and antispy ware are operating.

    @jeff hammond said: ...i am (sometimes) able to get the red X depending on my zoom level.. if i zoom out of the scene, i'm more likely to get the intersection snap to an outside object.. if i'm in close to the arc's endpoint, i only seem to get the 'on edge outside active' inference. My workflow would be: copy edge (that needs to be intersected) to clipboard. enter the context where the arc neds to be draw. Then 'Paste in Place' the edge. draw the arc which now has an edge in the same context to intersect. delete (one side of) the now divided edge. Or: just pre-draw a congruent edge in the same context where the arc needs to be drawn. draw the arc. delete (one side of) the now divided edge. So no messing around with trying to find an intersection with edges in other contexts. Thanks for the feedback Jeff.

    Hi: I would say that Tak2hata is a very responsive author to suggestions such as "maintain camera height" and, if you post in the plugin thread, he may respond. Disregard this comment if you have already posted there.

    If you're importing CAD data, explode the whole plan - including all blocks - and regroup it. The clipping plane is also dependent on the field of view. Use a higher focal length to get closer (zoom). (i have FOV assigned to "V" to be able to change it dynamically)

    No. Use four or more Scene tabs and toggle between them. You can have different view, layers etc for any of those tabs... Much more flexible...

    Right, I don't think the approach you were trying with SB is going to work--unless I totally misunderstand. With 25 points you could quickly draw edges to make triangles and take it from there. With that TIN mesh you can apply sandbox "from contours" to smooth, "add detail" or use any number of other mesh manipulating plugins. I think you are using the "smoove tool"? Not what it's for. Offhand regarding editing a simple mesh: Try "select none" (this is good to set to a hot key) and then the move tool and move point by point, not surfaces. It is easier if you have "VertexTools" plugin. But you may not need to use this method at all at this point.

    It's off to the D'oh thread for you Ken. It's an easy thing to miss, even for someone of your skill, so a good lesson for everyone.

    Thank you, Peter. I could do the handwork on the Cintiq and will probably end up doing just that for myself. Of course not everyone has a tablet to be able to do this which is why I was looking to get some of it done in SketchUp. Back to the drawing board.

    @joelm3dm said: Ok, my current system ... Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.7 GHz, 4.0 ram, 32 bit, Nvidia geforce GTS 250, two monitors I use it for SU and some light-duty video editing and photoshopping. I had a similar setup a year ago and switched to a I5-3.4Ghz, 8 GB ram, GTX 560 Ti and 64 bit windows 7 and an SSD. With anything similar or better Sketchup works great. @joelm3dm said: Initially I was asking if there's already a sticky or page or post with hardware suggestions. Wouldn't that be a good idea? Of course, it would have to be updated often, but I think many people would use it. A page could list different setups: "Bare Minimum", "Good SketchUpping", "Good SU Plus Others", "Super Ideal" Could be great if it was maintained regularly. Maybe someone will feel up for it.
