    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

    @masterpaul said: @ely862me said: replace the lines with components. Is there a plugin that does that? Not as far as I know; I copied, scaled and rotated them manually !

    What? No, I'm not saying that. The highlighted area should be two parts, but it didn't slice through. The lines are there, but it's still two separate areas!!! [image: NZd4_intersection.png] It doesn't matter if it's a solid or not. It still doesn't slice through. I've attached a simplified example. If I do intersect-with-model on the bump that hasn't been cut out (the same one in the picture), it won't split. Edit: I noticed that after splitting, there was a single polygon where the outline formed along the surface of the main object that was not cut . When I drew a line cutting it (the polygon), the bump shape separated immediately in two. I don't know why Dave didn't experience this: [image: aVyB_nocut.png] notasolid 2.skp

    Also, forgot to mention. If the model checks out and everything is true/square, then use the delete coplanar plugin, and all those goofy extraneous lines will go away. I'm not sure how to link you to the page with the plugin, but it is in the plugin sub-forum somewhere here on Sketchucation

    Hi, IAho: Since you mentioned plugin in your thread title, maybe tak2hata's Building Structure Tools? maybe not. What I said in my first reply still holds. When you insert all of those skp's of different parts of your assembly, they are defined as components in your working file. That is because a Sketchup component is basically a .skp file itself. Collecting a bunch of components and defining this collection as a component with a unique name will create an "assembly". Does this help?

    Here is an old post on old post on uncropping a photo. It would also work to fix photos that have had tilt shift done. But I agree, for your example, could just draw a box and then project texture manually, and skew as necessary. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10895

    I tried make terrain meshes but is not what i need. So the only way is exporting the SKP to another modeling software, like solidworks, autodesk simulation cfd and now Xflow CFD

    Excellent advices ! If the material of the printed parts is good enough(won't broke or chip) you could use a tap and a die(which would be like $10) and the outcome will be great !

    Okay, principle taken. However, to obtain and maintain a full fledged ("own") credit card system, it would be burdened with much more extra expenses as it seems to worth. That is: I guess. I have never been good at maths.

    Exporting to DAE or OBJ doesn't preserve components. Anyone know if there is a way to do that??

    No worries. Sometimes it's easy to get stuck because you are thinking about how to subtract geometry rather than to not make it in the first place. Sometimes it's the other way around.

    I have taught SU at a Local college as a side gig and I really enjoyed it. I had to quit due to time restraints. money-wise it wasn't worth it, but it was loads of fun and very satisfying. I wouldn't look to it for income-making --but if you just want a pay-it-forward kind of experience. . .it's great. My students often got better than me after about . . .oh. ..20 minutes.
