    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!

    Rich's tutorial is excellent and it'll get you on your way. I do the first part a little differently when I create new textures. I create faces in the model on which to paint the images. Then I import the images with File>Import and paint them onto those faces. My textures are almost never square images. I know lengths of them but the widths are generally arbitrary so the rectangles I draw are to the lengths of the textures but random in width. I wind up with something like this in the model. [image: mats5_xl.png] After the textures are in the model I save them by dragging the thumbnails from In Model to a destination library as Rich showed.

    Ah... You didn't specify all that before. I don't know of anything that's going to give you all of that info automatically.

    Solved!!! I just tried inserting with the "inch" unit rather than the "mm". I was thinking that If I change the unit in CAD to mm and scale the object accordingly. It will be imported with the same mm unit. This model is probably modeled in the inch unit (Im guessing). I tried bringing back the unit to inch in autocad and inserted with the inch unit in the import option (though Im in mm unit in SKP) The size matched very well and the model is no longer broken. Thanks everyone for your input.

    I was troubling with the same issue, but I've found that it was not arise from driver update. By erasing SectionCutFace plugin the problem was resolved. You may try to examine what plugin cause this.

    If you want to try these. Might be a combination of the two. Use follow-me-and-Keep plugin on the the profile and center line. make the profile wider than the road at any point. Then drape the road edges (or intersect).

    Thank you all!!! Incredible how you guys respond... @Gilles: Will take a look at it today. Thanks. @Box: Very helpfull, will take a look at what you mentioned: "You probably need to learn how the inferencing system works and how components separate and allow you to repeat geometry." I'll try and find some tutorials on the inferencing system... @pbacot: By a layer I meant just one part of the closet, for examle one side... I'll let you alle know how I proceed using all advices... Again, thanks!

    Yeah, it's not going to work the same way... but you can still create keyboard shortcuts for frequently used tools. Myself I have 3 screens and I'm in love with toolbars. I want a toolbar for everything... EVERYTHING!

    Depending on your model, Tig's Slicer5 will do that for you.

    @box said: I believe it is related to how the faces are created and their orientation to the global axis. If you redraw the line you are erasing from the other direction you will get the other texture. I just tried... You are right on target. Not too useful tough

    I downloaded it a few days ago - had no problem with download or installation. It looks interesting and it might provide a clue as to where Trimble is going with SketchUp. I'm in the process of splitting a SU model into several separate models which I'll import, perhaps intentionally creating a clash or two to learn how it handles this. Since this a collaboration application and doesn't have editing tools, I wonder if it will work as a SU viewer.

    I've not had any issues with any of Fredo's tools causing SU to crash but then I don't have any of those plugins that are known to cause problems. Maybe the latest build of the Vray plugin is better but it has been known to cause problems for a lot of users. This has been widely reported here on SCF. Another thing to look at is the permissions for the Plugins folder. Make sure all users have full permissions established.

    Don't worry, it's a common mistake. You can also click and move without being attached to the piece. For example, you want to move a vase along a cluttered mantlepiece, select the vase with the select tool, then using the move tool follow along the edgeline of the mantle and the vase will move relative to that.
