    @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!

    All, Thanks for the advice on the .csv file. I'm pretty familiar with excel and its capabilities, and what I have works OK, but I have to do a lot of fiddling with the spreadsheet before I can get it into a useable state. What I found works really well is to pre-format a blank worksheet with all of the headers and column widths the way I want them, then hide the columns that I won't use. I then copy and paste the data from the .csv into the blank (cntrl+shift+end from the first cell of the .csv, then cntrl+V into the first cell of the .xlsx). So, no problem with getting the results I want after a few steps. I was just wondering if a plug-in existed that would do all of that output management up-front so I could export exactly what I want into the spreadsheet and save a few steps. Thanks, again, for your help! Frank

    @gisdude said: @drafter x said: I can tell your working with architectural drawings. I'm going to say what most will not, and that is that architects are some of the absolute worst when it comes to drawing things precisely in autocad drawings. I beg to differ - engineers are the absolute worst at snaps, trims, etc. Not to mention there redlines on drawings... Agreed. Although many Architects are just as guilty.

    I got the edges cleaned up on the face of the letters. Is it possible to deal with the ones on the edge of the letters? So far every time I remove one (fn click with eraser on WIN) the whole surface is removed. Thanks again

    Hey I found this tool Point Merger Tools v 1.2 (25.81 KiB) Downloaded 1021 times [image: O4Kh_pic_0094.jpg] [image: fhUw_pic_0089.jpg] I would like to have your example but since i don't here you can soften inter edges to make two surface of the mesh terrain select inter terrain max distance of gap [image: zKQy_pic_0091.jpg] [image: b7Uh_pic_0092.jpg] now it shoud be good if the poly code count to high it will also lower the count, then do what I did above

    Hi Gai, Thanks for the advice. I used your curviloft method from the link and it works really well! I made a solid group with a contoured top in 5 minutes... after a few failed attempts ofcourse. When the penny drops its quite simple. Cheers Mal

    In addition to John's list, there are a bunch of online functions of SU - maybe the most relevant (as one would often use it) the Component dialog box which is directly connected to tjhe internet to search models in the warehouse.

    Yes i meant the frustum. No, you can only toggle the layers for "Camera_FOV_Volume" and "Camera_FOV_Lines". But switching these off will not avoid the clipping problems - like any large geometry in sketchup. But i have found another solution now to avoid these problems. I use the ACT-camera only to set up the scene and then i add a normal scene with the same settings and delete the ACT scene...

    Thanks for the responses. I neglected to save the version with the problem, but I think I might have had a tiny corner "nipped" off the lower, front corner that was stopping the face from moving back. Can't know for sure due to my error in saving.
