    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!

    Nested elements dont show up because of hidden layer

    " But yes, if a mother component/group is on a hidden layer, you won't be able to see the nested components/groups, regardless of their layer. " I understand how layers are supposed to work in SU, and there are some advantages to the implementation. But I find this aspect can cause issues, even when following the good advice above. For example if I have a large project, organised into groups and components it is often needed to bring new elements of a cad import (raw geometry on layer 0) into groups / components to update them. It would be useful to be able to isolate (visually) the different parts of the cad import by a layer regardless of the groups i've put them into but the system seems to prevent this. Is there a script to ignore nesting and show visibility just by selected layer or does the way SU separates groups make this undoable? Thanks for the help.

    @unknownuser said: Ok, I know it must exist, however, I can not find the solution. Is there away, or plugin that will export scenes created by me, to image files. I have a model with 12 scenes showing how to install the equipment, and I wanted to do an export of all the scenes to images files so I could place the images into a PPP. I did it by going to each scene and exporting to a png, but surely there is away or plugin to do this automatically. Thanks in advance Ken Ken, Your profile shows you are a SU Pro user. SU Pro has Layout for just such a scenario. Open SU model in LO.....generate a page for each scene(add text etc if/as).....export to .jpg or .png. Best, Charlie

    The network licensing mechanism doesn't support mapped network shares (e.g. X:/Y:/Z:), use the UNC path only, e.g.: \ServerName\SketchUpLicenseFolder The folder used needs full read/write permissions of course. For moving a network license to a new server/folder just create a new license file from scratch. hth, Norbert

    I have an app that supposedly works well with illustrator. It has different end caps. I wonder if you pm me the eps, I can run it through. See if it works to save you time? The effect might be lost on translation. IDK.

    It doesn't appear that there is, Paul. You can try it yourself by pressing the various combinations of modifiers and the trackpad buttons. You could use O, the default keyboard shortcut, to activate the Orbit tool or assign a different one. Once you have the Orbit tool active, pressing Shift will activate Pan.

    In my work I've never found a need to realign the model axes although I think some folks find it useful. No matter what you do to those axes, though, the groundplane and north remain in the same location. Well, north can be changed but the axis orientation has nothing to do with that. I have seen having a number of models from others in which the axes have been moved or realigned causing the model to be drawn skewed at some strange angle.

    How to keep rotating sphere (Buckyball) in Sketchup centered

    I suspect that the ball is not centered in its bounding box cube. If the axis reference is away from any edge, the ball will not rotate on its centroid. It will rotate on the centroid of the bounding box. As a solution you can explode the ball and then create a new comp. That will place the ball in the center of the bounding box. Rotation using the Move tool (on any of the 24 rotation pick points) will rotate the ball on its centroid.

    @unknownuser said: When's the next Basecamp? Good question. We don't know right now, but given that our plan is to move to an annual release cycle starting next year, and that conferences are a great way to celebrate product launches, we'll do our best to make sure there's a 3D Basecamp in 2013. Source: A recap of SketchUp 3D Basecamp 2012 sounds more like second half of 2013. Norbert

    Your own subfolder of SKM material files [NOT image files ] needs to go into the main Sketchup .../Materials folder. If you don't have FULL security rights to that folder then it might look like your subfolder has been put in there... but the dreaded 'Compatibility Files...' link button in the main Explorer Window's header-bar is a clue that something is adrift... Windows has put stuff into a Virtual store to protect you from yourself... You need to ensure that there is FULL security rights [for all] to several folders in the Sketchup folder - Materials, AND Plugins, Styles and Components - because each of those will, at some pint need files adding into them... These access-rights should also trickle down to all of these folders' contents, including any subfolders too...
