    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!

    You can't apply multiple styles in a single scene in SketchUp but it wouldn't be difficult to combine different image exports using different styles in an image editor. In fact I do that quite frequently. There were three or four different styles used for this image if you count the shadows as a style. [image: 6743292439_e1e53c5165.jpg] Four different styles on this one, too. [image: 5601922220_e0c573092b.jpg]

    @dave r said: Open SU8 from the icon. After it loads you can close it. Then you should be able to open files in SU8 instead of SU7. Yeah, I seem to remember something about it opening in whatever version you used last. Tried that but it didn't work, so I just uninstalled SU 7, problem solved

    I managed to find my issue. When creating a surface from contours, I did not realise the resulting entity is a group. So I was actually applying the texture to the group, rather than the actual surface. When I went into the group and directly applied to the surface, it worked properly.

    Thanks make that fixed it for me regarding dof circle & arc sides etc. I really thought i was going mad or that sketchup now was different. I was even hunting for a guilty plugin. Let's hope an update patch will soon fix this.

    I apologise for going AWOL, i posted this in work (while looking for the solution) and then went and took an extended weekend. Anyway, you guys are incredible - Pilou, your method is perfect for a gentle column angle and Takesh h, your method of using the intersect curve from Round Corners.rb will prove perfect for more acute angles and Box, your advice about trying to take a component and re-use is well heeded. Your collective enthusiasm to help us mere mortals is inspiring. I admit I was hoping for a quick fix plug-in (since I have about 25 unique geometry columns to model) but both your steps are very clear and reproducible so shouldn’t take too much time… as long as the scheme doesn’t keep changing like it did today Oh, and Rich O Brien, the Blender demo makes me wish we used something more advanced than SK in my office. Cheers all!

    Use the axis tool to localize ea line before making ea group (to fix - explode -make axes along the line - make group - repeate for ea line) Boxes should be gone.

    @mike lucey said: @willpittenger said: @hellnbak said: Ah good, another chance for me to demonstrate my ignorance. Could somebody please explain a little what you guys are talking about? IRC is Internet Relay Chat. Like the forums, but a bit more real time. The link is for the Wikipedia page on IRC. Its an interesting read Will. It also cast some light on my ignorance Could you bullet list the main advantages of such a system of communication? Mike Compared to the forums? Well, there is one main advantage: How quickly you get a response. We are talking about near real time. That might or might not happen here. Also, I used to use the forums at space.com. Those are long gone. But the space channel at Freenode has been there for 8 years and and still going strong.

    @frederik said: I wonder if Jason Maranto decided to upgrade or just leave it... I haven't changed my POV -- I still have 8 Pro and use it occasionally, but I will not pay for any more SketchUp until there is something released which is worth paying for. That said, since nothing is new with me, and I've already said my bit on the SketchUp 9 subject, I've refrained from posting until such a time as new news is forthcoming from Trimble. In the meantime I've been focusing on other software. Best, Jason.

    Well, a car might be smooth, yet technically hard... but a pillow may be soft and not hard yet still smooth... Too literal?

    Downloaded it and couldn't find any problems. Some suggested corrections/changes: the meeting rail on the upper and lower sashes should align (on a traditional window, the are narrower than the other stiles and rails. Likewise on traditional windows the bottom rail on the bottom sash is wider than the others. But I noticed on most vinyl windows this isn't the case.) Create a generic color such as "window frame" for the frame and sashes so people can simply edit it to get the desired color, without having to repaint the components. Likewise with the window glass.

    Can you make an html page that opens and immediately closes itself using js ? Something like... <html> <head> </head> <body onOpen="window.opener=self; window.close();"> </body> </html>

    @dave r said: No. It didn't become a Pro only feature. It is part of the Utilities Tools which, although no longer packed with SketchUp is available from the Extension Warehouse. You just have to go get it. Thanks. That helped.

    @hieru said: Kaas, I think you would still get good results using your approach if you further reduced the number of circle and bevel segments. The trick here is to use just enough segments and make sure that the block doesn't intersect with the tube along segment edges. Hieru, Thanks for your reply and the trick you mention. I'm going to test it soon.
