    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 have SSD and 2TB HHD like you and I cannot see any significant difference although speed test would probably show some. Unlike x86 where the RAM is split between the kernel and su so each would get 2 GB, for 64 bit SU can use all of 4 GB. Some M boards have some BIOS option you can set that may help; look for some thing like"use max memory" and turn off( prevents the kerenel for hogging memory), look for " use shared memory and turn on". You best bet is to reduce the rendering load when you are modeling like use layers, monochrome, scenes and use textures for show and tell. Previously I have found turning transparency off helped a lots but have not checked for a long time.

    Hi Frank. First, thank you so much for working with me and having a great test case from which I was able to "fix" closeopens to work more efficiently. As I rewrote closeopens, the first step, as you know, was to modify progressbar to allow the user to choose to cancel the process. After I did that, I went to rewrite the algorithm used by closeopens to make it MUCH more efficient. IIRC, the processing time for your model went from INFINITY (as in, it never did finish) to 52 seconds. I was excited about modifying progressbar to make it V2, and have it apply globally to all the scripts that used it, but I was not able to crack that nut without also having a requirement to also modify each and every script that called it to allow the canceling of the process. This is where Progressbar 2.0 died. However, closeopens does have Progressbar 2.0 functionality built-in, and, I have stalled bring closeopens to market, for some time now. And, while some attempts have been made by me to get it ready for packaging, I have broken the new copy. This is where I stand. I need to fix it, again, and then publish it. I will do this - but cannot promise when right now. My day job is demanding, and so are extra-curricular activities. Todd

    This may also explain why opening an older model after some time shows some edges which you swore were previously softened?

    Cannot reset file association after SU 2013 install

    @mgfranz said: I currently run SU Pro 8, I wanted to trial run SU 2013, my OS is Win 7 64. By default my .skp files are all associated with SU 2013, but I want to change the default program to SU 8 however no matter what I try to do they always open with 2013. I have done the Open>Default Program route, I have gone through the registry and changed the default path to C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8, but when I double click on a .skp file it still opens with 2013. When I right click and try to change the Open With>Browse> and select Google 8/SketchUp.exe the only option I get it 2013. So the only way I can open a .skp in SU 8 right now is to open the SU 8 program from the Desktop or Start and manually locate the file I want to open, is there a way to change the path in Win 7 or do I have to just uninstall 2013? I have faced the same problem and have also looked for a solution here before. As there was no simple fix. I uninstalled the 2013 version. Only to find out today while reinstalling SU 2013 that during installation of SU 2013 if you clear the check boxes for creating new file associations in Windows for skp files, then windows lets sketchup 8 remain as the default application for skp files. Try that, it is so far working for me. Hope it works for you as well

    In fact it is an OpenGL problem, it seems. Meaning graphics card issue. I just had it in SU 2013, Windows 7 (in Mac Parallels). I fixed it by : SU menu, Window- Preferences- OpenGL, uncheck Use hardware acceleration.

    Well, those were just suggestions. I sometimes get quirky behavior with selection box left or right. Seems coincidental but I hear my processor fan kicking up at about that time. It could be Sketchup autosave, my security software updating behind the curtains, or something like that. Yeah, I know this is kind of random off topic.

    I've had the same problem many times. I've found that it is more reliable to use "MOVE/control", but I'd love to see a real answer to your question. Chris

    This is my first try at previewing my model in G.E. G.E. opened but the model didn't show up. I'm guessing it's a permissions issue, but what folder, file do I need to have permission for?

    I am not sure you will get a resolving answer here as this is something that should be addressed to the Sketchup Team . I would send them a message with my problem, perhaps here : http://help.sketchup.com/en/contact/pro-sales . I hope you can get this fixed soon ! Take care !

    Dave, Just had a "DUH" moment. I couldn't figure out why you said the post was 290 feet tall but when I measured it with the tape measure tool, it was the correct height. Scaled. Yah, I get it. Anyway, problem solved. Kris

    Hi. That plugin also appears in the Sketchucation Plugin Store by the late Honoluludesktop. I salute his memory.
