    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!

    @unknownuser said: @unknownuser said: yeah, component stringer does makes different surface areas while remaining editable so does simple scaling of an individual component.. the method i tried earlier was breaking the link between components but this .skp shows that it's possible to do what you want. just had a brain flake earlier hey Jeff.. thanks for showing that it's possible to do that.. do you mind showing us how you did that? oh hi Jeff.. long time no see.. sorry dude but i can't remember how i did that.. it's been a while..

    Alright, cool! And I think I'll try some lettering on the side, too. Thanks for the suggestion. @d12dozr said: Yep, its in the free version too. It was introduced with the Solid Tools, the rest of which are PRO only, but Outer Shell is available to everybody. I also thought this was pro only! Awesome!

    Csaba, I use English versions in both SU7 and SU8. My keyboard mapping has always been Spanish. Already tried a system restore back to december 26th (oldest restore point available), but the gremlin is still present. In fact, I have just witnessed how it changed from dot to comma within a minute, while working! .DAE export is also still defective. Again this is only happening in SketchUp (which is now back to the non-trimble version after the system restore). And it only started happening this week. Weird. I'll run the virus scan and if it finds nothing, I'll have to re-install Windows 7.

    I don't think so. I tried to export images from a model with a draped ortho in it two months ago and they still looked horrible. The Windows clipboard did a better job than SU's exporter.

    I'm afraid Bezier Surface is far from being complete to be released. What about Curviloft? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28586#p248195 If you draw the outer edges you can use that tool to generate the surface.

    Here maybe? http://sketchucation.ourtoolbar.com/ Note however that it was created for the old system and if it is dependant on certain links or RSS feeds, they may be broken now.

    @unknownuser said: I'd hire the local thugs and shake that DWG out of the surveyor! Now I understand - you can't get the DWG for some reason, or it was created on something other than ACAD. I've never run into this yet. For some reason, Nick I do! I'd much rather have sent to me a nice clean survey DWG but no, the client always expects you to create a little magic!

    I was going to say that the site might be down again for a few hours while the hosting company reconfigures the sparkly new back-up servers...but it looks like they may have already started.

    Bump maps would be very, very useful for representing rows of rivets without a hugeamount of geometry being retained. Same could be true for nuts and bolts. For those sorts of things being able to create bump maps would be really helpful.

    You probably ought to take a look at Nick Sonder's videos. You can make section cuts already, add faces to the section cuts if you wish and you can apply materials. You don't need any other plugins for that. Symbols and other text are best done in LayOut, not SketchUp.

    Implementing grouping and layer assignment from the beginning is very important for the workflow. When I start a home, I immediately create my layers - Foundation, First Floor, Second Floor, Roof as the initial basics. Once I draw a particular floor (always draw on layer 0), I group it and assign it to the appropriate layer. Then you can draw on top of that layer to create the next group. Repeat the process and you will have a clean model with easy control.

    Thanks for the replies folks, I have been pondering this, perhaps it could be an option in some future version of sketchup. I very much appreciate the time taken to reply and there is a fair bit to think about that will make things easier. On it.
