    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!

    Of course you can share the output freely. "Sell, rent, lease or lend" means for profit; money or other exchange of goods. So if you are a spaceship designer and wish to boast with your renders in the gallery section, please, continue doing so.

    @chris fullmer said: Hi Gerrit, double clicking on the left side ...... Thank you Chris. Once the toolbar showed up (top left underneath first current toolbar) I had no problem to (double)click > pull it > dock it at my favorite location below the modeling area. My problem was to find it. Once you know...., well, not likely that I'll ask this question again. Thank you and I hope you can find how to overcome the 'hide and seek'-toolbar bug.

    Thanks TIG, I had no idea, overall SU is so much more user friendly: in Acad and Vectorworks if something like this happens a reinstall is the norm.

    @tig said: AND if you did have to give your SKP models to 3rd parties... and your were of a devious disposition... then you might use 'save_as' into a v8 [or even v7] SKP - taking it back when there was no restriction on 'commercial use' - and now the there is no objection or [probable] 'traceability' of the original SKP version in that copy... Im thinking that Trimble might soon disable the ability to save in lower versions (free versions) especially if new functionalities are introduced in future updates. This will then give the Pro subscribers advantage over the SU free users. -another way of making free versions obsolete. Not that I dont want to subscribe to pro for my own personal freelance work,but until I see a difference in functionality in the SUv8 and SU2013 (apart from the import export formats, and Layout which I dont use at all) I wouldnt mind going back to my SU v8 with the useful 3rd party plugins Ive always been using. Then I will uninstall SU 2013 altogether if my conscience has to hunt me about the terms and condition I agreed with.

    3DMax has in it's subscription tools a sketchup tool. I don't know which direction it goes but it may handle this task. otherwise check this thread out. http://forums.cgarchitect.com/62917-best-way-go-3ds-max-sketchup.html @unknownuser said: From Max though I had to make sure that any detail was removed from my modelling, any object stacks were colapsed to an editable mesh (poly was okay but SU liked mesh better) and all materials were Standard Max materials with just basic colour (no maps). I think that's how we went about it. It was a while ago.

    Well you're doing very well... It's a good drawing. I don't know who or what this is for so just take this as you need it; One thing I've begun to add to most of my plans is 3D shots. Either in black and white or color. For instance, the bathroom elevation at the bottom could be moved over and a 3D shot could be placed there of the interior. Perhaps from the entry looking in. It adds some punch to the drawing.

    Glad that helps. By the way, if you haven't done it yet, install the Sketchucation PluginStore plugin and then auto-install Recurve and the other plugins you'll wind up with eventually.

    Another issue. Due to the new pricing system I miss the yearly fee to our developers, which allows Trimble to set up the extension site with foreign Plugins. Without these Sketchup is a bit useless in commercial work. Maybe 50% of the upgrade price should be enough The new Extensin site is a good idea, but is basicly done by others and just a collection, rather than a new upgrade achievement.

    @chris fullmer said: Thanks for posting this. I've submitted the model and the materials as a bug to be fixed. It is the dark wood material that is actually causing the problem. Do you know anything about that jpg or how it was created? Chris Yes, you are right. That dark wood texture pic was downloaded from Internet. Then I screetshot part of it to use as surface texture in my model.

    @ely862me said: But then I suppose you can't replicate the inner wall to match exactly with the outer wall, because the curve is different! So the only way is to use scale tool to match as much as you can . this is good enough for me. the more control over it the better but its what looks good - figure out how to make the bugger later!!! great c

    Going to post this question here as it on the same subject. So 3d scanned a panel ready to unfold but currently the mesh is to complicated to unfold. Tried terrain reshaper but it does not seem to change. Trying to achieve a more consistent mesh which is not to time consuming to unfold. .skp is 8mb so put a share on dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/ur1su2eyv9eutyn/side%20panel.skp Multiple cookie or bottle of Scotch donation is someone can help!!
