    @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!

    @tig said: Have you got the Units of the exported dwg and then matched them in the Imported geometry - set in the Import 'Options' sub-dialog in SketchUp ? Measure something in the imported geometry using the Tapemeasure tool and see if it's the size you expect... For example, if you have jumbled up m & mm the SKP components might be 1000x or 1/1000 of the mis-sized imported geometry - thus making you think that the components are not adding but they are either so big or so small you can't see them Also check your imported geometry's origin is set NOT to be the CAD origin [again set in Options], otherwise the imported geometry could be located many miles from [0,0,0] and thereby cause graphics glitches etc in SketchUp too... Oh snap. So that's where I went wrong. Thank you so much. I rescaled my door and it automatically rescaled the building too. You were right, the components were too small.

    Weird Display While Trying To Print

    Ok. I have some updates. The block shadows does not appear when I select "Standard" Print Quality under the Print Preview dialog box. Shadows appear when I select "High Definition" or "Ultrahigh Definition". Currently I am sending my print output to a Canon Pixma iX4000 on A3+ glossy Canon paper. All sketchup models with complexity of this drawing level display the shadow problems on the Core i7 PC. Simpler models goes through ok "most" times. My thoughts are, once the cpu/gpu has successfully sent the high res print output to the printer, video should not be affected on the display. They almost use different paths altogether. Most times, the block shadows are very stubborn and I could be toggling the texture faces/shadows on/off for like 10 mins before it returns to normal. I have to do this and hope it reverts back to normal. Off Shadows, switch to hidden lines face texture, then switch to shaded with textures. And repeat after trying shadow on. Included one of my older models. Just tried and voila. Printed on high definition. [image: A5hM_photo1.JPG] [image: csww_photo2.JPG]

    Yes. I found it. BTW IMO the index should be as it was - in the pull down menu on the sketchucation website: Resources - Plugin Index, just below PluginStore.

    Having Troubles With Rendering

    I had a similar 'plight' with a design I was creating for a very large model of a bespoke hospitality (tensile/inflatable) structure being built on the beach at Cannes - the model was constructed in SKP to show a beautiful pitch render (to the MS client) via Lightup, as well as serve as technical layouts, construction details, and work-in-progress sign-off scamps in Layout. The necessary additional detail/model (including glowing inflatable cell-structure) size was killing my renders (and my soon to be updated PC), so I came to the state of breaking the model down and 'sub-render' (eg the exhibition zone) elements. Sketchup & Lightup work brilliantly - it is just the scale of my designs that sometimes get in the way!! I would concur and suggest 'pretty house' and 'real house' models! There are limits with all of this. Good luck with it!

    Thanks for the recommendation! I don't know what I did but I just textured a track segment perfectly within 10 seconds. There must be magic involved. Edit: I made a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E0k-t5qEEg

    Thanks to both of you! can't believe I've been using su for so long and didn't notice the segment count. anyway, I extended the lines and then used stray lines to select and delete the edges - guess thats the best it gets and thats not too bad thanks again

    Thanks, that is perfect. Our plugin's installer doesn't look for SU 2013 so users not wanting to use our beading edge developer release can't easily use 2013 (without hand moving files). Having the SU 8 link is good solution.
