    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!

    Here's the SKP file, in case anyone wants to give it a shot. Guess I should have included it at the start. 1.skp

    This sounds like a feature I might want to add to [Re]Scene Plugin. Here is the link so you can check it out to see if next update includes this feature. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=52203 Cheers!

    Maybe you can use the geopositioning of SU and import the better mesh afterwards and use the google earth terrain as a reference for the positioning?

    Well, last year John Bacus of (now already Trimble) said in his presentation at SketchUp BaseCamp in Boulder, Co. that the new SketchUp will be called "SketchUp 2013" so SketchUp 9 is unlikely to happen (and those screenshots seem to be a hoax too).

    Well, let me know when you are around, and you'll get that beer. A promise is a promise (and, who knows, I might have more problems with SU by then)!

    If the plugin is warning have not been removed I presume its because it still can cause some problems and maybe conflicts with other plugins so it is wise to follow the advice of not installing until it gets fixed. Most of the issues regarding plugins comes when modifying a global variable and not putting your code under unique module so that no other plugins gets affected. I am sure there is more reason though so if you are unsure of a plugin maybe ask in the developers forum if its safe. Also 'SketchUcation plugin store' is great place to find safe and up to date plugin and a very cool feature is to unload plugins you are not using and load them up when you do. Here is a link to that plugin.... http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download Cheers!

    Mine is not so bad on a Mac (using Simon's example). But how can we compare complexity of work? I can say that it is mostly use of plugins that can cause it and I know which ones seem to be doing heavy lifting and sometimes drop the ball so I save before these. But I can definitely get screwed sometimes. Don't get me wrong.

    Well, I do not use Sensiva anymore. I replace it with Stroke-It and AutoHotkey I use a pen tablet to draw gesture holding both left and right button*. These are the gestures I use with SketchUp and AutoCAD : [image: 5Rnv_skp.jpg][image: pDSa_aCADabra.jpg] *And Here, the script for AutoHotkey : With AutoCAD and almost softs : ~RButton & LButton;; send {MButton down} Keywait LButton send {MButton up} return With Autocad and Sketchup (which uses right click differently with context menu): RButton & LButton;; send {MButton down} Keywait LButton send {MButton up} return RButton Up;; send {RButton} return It works fine !

    That's another way of doing it. I'd not thought if that way. The outliner is a very useful tool in many situations.

    @hellnbak said: .......... But, what I'm looking for is an explanation of why it happens, and how to make it not happen anymore. ...... Hi, attached file / model may somehow explain what is going on when creating similar weird faces. There are certain "conditions" that have to be met to create them. Don't ask me why SketchUp can't handle them. It probably has to do with the order of creating loops and the sequence of edges and their endpoints that confuses the program to decide which faces have to be created and where to split them. The model shows two situations that you better avoid when modelling. Although dragging endpoints accross an opposite edge isn't the most likely operation. Often "intersect faces with....." doesn't help. And you can keep on adding edges, only shifting the profiles to some other little face. Delete the corrupt part and/or re-create it with a workaround (like in the second scene) I hope this somehow helps in understanding when and why this issue occures. weird faces

    Maybe you didn't install it correctly. I have 2D Tools on my Mac and it works perfectly.
