    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!

    Once you sort out your face orientation you may find TIG's Section Cut Face plug works as expected. The only edit I usually need to apply is to delete unwanted faces which obscure the room, all my other voids close as expected.

    Don't worry - Jim has encrypted it as an rbs anyway, making changing it academic - you can't. If you were to PM Jim perhaps he'll explain these things better ?

    TT's UV Toolkit can apply materials added to front face to back faces (or vice versa) even keeping the original texture positioning. [image: dfVf_uvtoolkit.png]

    @kachupp said: Hi everyone; I have just started getting a pop up messages saying the model "current one open" has been modified outside of sketchup ? Anyone else getting or know anything about this. When this happens; components names are changed to the last component I was working in. Only started noticing this when generating reports "beside the popup message" it makes it annoying to not find what you expect in the report. Figured it out. It happens when you add a comment to the file either through windows explorer or a 3rd party util like 4nt/tcmd describe's command. So if you're trying to find out if its a bug in one of your many great plugins i use from many different authors fair not. lol

    Thanks for posting this ... this morning my Win 7 64 machine (Lenovo T400 with ATI graphics) refused load SU 8 without Bugsplatting within seconds. I have win Update set to manual and may have updated something like a Defender file late last night, but nothing major. GOOD NEWS - removing LIBFREDO6_Dir_47 has stopped the crashing. I had already tried removing TT stuff (started there because of the .dll objections posed by Online Armour, not because of any doubts about TT, or Fredo, both of whom I hold in awe for their excellent plugins) and was working my way through when I saw this post. So ... Thank you, again <edit> SU 8.0.16846 Checked update logs ... updated Defender definition KB915597 2days ago (22 Mar) but didn't restart from off until this morning, Next most recent Cumulative security updates KB2809289 and KB2807986 (as mentioned by OP) plus a number of others (Silverlight, MSRT, defimition updates etc.) on 14-Mar but I have restarted numerous times since & using SU each session. </edit>

    There are plugins that draw real geometry around the bounding box and you can measure this geometry precisely with the Tape measure tool: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21427 or http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29377

    Interesting...I unistalled Lumen RT 3 and updated to Lumen RT 4 which was just released today and I still get the same behavior. This is the only SU plugin I have installed at the moment. Maybe it is something unique to my configuration. I'll check over on e-on's forums when I have the chance to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

    Thanks Nigel, I thought this thread was dying a slow death.... I don't use ACAD myself but do import / export to it, hence the question. I have used '.' [fullstop] in SU layers but don't know how it exports. Maybe a test export with many punctuation marks should yield an answer...

    There was a lot of buzz about it back when it was in beta. It looked like a nice renderer but the price tag is just too steep for many.

    @unknownuser said: @aureus said: I see you guys have some fun here. Betting, eh? Is it legal in all your countries? in the u.s it is.. you just can't call it gambling.. call it casinos, bingo, lottery, etc instead... @unknownuser said: I didn't intend to be involved in criminal activities when I started this topic. sure, i can see that.. but your intent was what exactly? . Modest as I am, I hoped to see some guy from the SU team dropping by with a big smile: "We have pleasure in announcing that next SU version is going to be released on May the 16th 2015..." 2013, sorry. This gambler's addiction is taking more and more of my mind. I think I must go dawn to the bet shop. There's a bunch of good matches this week but the odds are rather odd. Beer for you, Jeff. And for the SU team: Give us Chris Fullmer back, or give us something in return!

    Hi Gilles, I live in France but I am English. And I haven't joined the French sub-forum, as it's much easier for me to communicate in English. But I did try to reply (in not too perfect French) to a question recently!! Thanks for your help with my issue. Merci mon p'tit loup!

    Or you can have a set of simpler models (boxes) as components and more elaborate ones saved as skp files. Then either reload each manually when needed or use TIG's xref manager plugin.

    You can put section planes in a group. Then it will only cut through the object in the group or component and not the whole model.

    Trogluddite! What a champ! Thats amazing what you've done. Thanks so much. The TileGrid plugin works perfectly, and the instructions you gave to install it are idiot-proof! Just what I need Thanks also to sdmitch, thom thom and tig for the tips they gave you. Trog I think you're ready to join the Axis of Awesome! Thanks to you too Box. Your input on this was very much appreciated. Cheers Mal
