    @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!

    @rdx007 said: Hi all, I have a skp file which displays different parts of a design using layer manager. I want to make a form with drop down boxes in webdialog which is user friendly and performs the same function as layer manager . Is it possible to do so? If yes please let me know how go about it . There are numerous plugins that do things such as you seek. Search the Extension Warehouse and the sketchUcation plugin store for "layer". Steve

    Just remember if you use two different versions of a material (horizontal and vertical), you increase the file size and potentially reduce performance and speed. If you have to edit the materials, you have to edit them both. You waste even more time that way. Applying and aligning a material isn't at all difficult to do in the model and once you've set it to each required orientation, you just sample the needed orientation when applying the material to other faces. Still, as with most other things in SketchUp, you can choose how you want to invest your time and how much to invest.

    The manual way of doing this is much faster if you have already a model with all scenes. 1 - You save 3 copies of the model that has all scenes. 2 - You delete everything in that model 3 - You open copy 1 and import model 1 4 - Do the same for copy 2 and 3 and you now have all models with same scenes. If you haven't got every scene in one model you can copy only the scenes you need from other models into the model with most scenes and save some work, and start from line 1 after that. Besides Eneroth's plugin, if you install Thomthom's "camera tools", you can also easily copy camera properties from one model to the other. If you use a plugin to copy camera positions between scenes you can, after that, copy properties between scenes by ticking/unticking the scene properties boxes on SU native scene manager. I hope this helps. JQL

    How do you know it is a component near the origin? CutList doesn't report coordinates.

    I've had what sounds like a similar problem over the years. Mainly when I zoom in close to an object. Large file size makes it more likely. One fix appears to be: Zoom Extends. And then reset the field of view. The problem is more likely with wide angle of view.

    It looks like you need some anti-aliasing. This seems like an issue for someone well-versed in Artlantis. Do they have a forum you could use to ask your question?

    With a lot of crashes you can try to copy the wheel in a new Sketchup instance by using paste in place. Work in there without the whole model and copy it back. ( delete the old one ) Maybe you can reduce the crashes...works a lot better. Just a try

    Thanks Rich, Techdave, and DaveR. After posting and thinking about it some more, I thought oh well let this stand as an admonishment to others in the interest of good methods. I will read the Sketchup Help stuff on Layers again. Still, white jacket, room with soft surfaces, delirious happiness?

    Thanks pbacot. I looked into trying to make the walls and floors of the modules into solid groups in order to use the outer shell tool. But I couldn't make them solid. I assumed it was because I had gluey cutting windows and doors nested into the walls. Does that sound right?
