    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!

    Thanks for the feedback. Gaieus I've tried a number of these variations but without luck. It works for sections because the section line can be exported. Maybe someone will write a clever Ruby oneday...

    @thomthom said: I terms of marketing Google did very good for SketchUp - I agree. But in terms of developing the core application - they did badly. How true... I came along right after Google bought SketchUp and was enthusiastic about having such a well moneyed and powerful company behind the product... won't make that mistake again Best, Jason.

    Hidden Section Planes

    Another I that I think has always happened with section planes is that they obscure your model a lot of the "hide rest of model" slider in the model info/components dialog is towards the left. This happens when the section cut itself is outside of the current group I am working on. It goes from being something like an 80% transparent white surface when the "hide rest of model" slider is at the right, to an 0% transparent grey surface when the "hide rest of model" is at the left. Of course you can keep the slider at the right, or turn of the section plane, but would be nice to keep it but always have it mostly transparent. Does anyone run into this as an issue, or does it not affect anyone's work? David

    @ely862me: @unknownuser said: Joint Push&Pull !! viewtopic.php?t=6708 That sounds good. I'll give it a try. Thanks @andre51 @unknownuser said: They should be able to set the "skin" or outer shell to only print a certain thickness. Yes, that's right. I'll ask Shapeways, what they can do for me. @unknownuser said: We do it on our little printer and it is a very simple process. So do we. We can define (to) many parameters. @d12dozr: @unknownuser said: Print services typically operate on an automated system, and this kind of customization is too much for current systems. Exactly! That's why I was looking for a plugin.

    You know, if it split the curve into two connected curves, could it be that there is a deeper level of triangulation across the rectangular starting face, that happens to affect the curve? Maybe not.

    thanks that seemed to do it. Something I was never aware of is that directly opening a model from the warehouse gave me this error and the DC functionality did not work. However when I loaded the same model into my existing model it worked fine. Seems like a significant bug to me. I prefer to open a model by itself and see if it is worth using before I import all the junk layers.

    Dave, thanks for the response. You are correct. The problem is hidden geometry. I had show hidden geometry on but, for some reason, SU was not showing it. I reloaded SU and problem was solved. See,it would have been a waste of time uploading the model. You answered the question easily without it!!!! (Actually, it was too large). Many thanks for the help. Cheers...>Scotty

    If it was made using Sketchup any old doodle would do. If it was handed over to their corp artist and made elsewhere? Says a bit about the union. An intelligent CEO would have his artists embrace Sketchup as the sole tool for this.

    @dan rathbun said: Yes I can, but sometimes it's tricky, it selects move leader instead. Often takes a few trys, or zooming in a bit. @tig said: Click+drag on the text-leader's arrowhead - i.e. hold the left-mouse-button down and drag the cursor [now attached onto the arrowhead] to a new position for the arrow, snapping the arrowhead onto any new object - resulting in a modified piece of Text that you would have otherwise needed to recreate from scratch... 8 attempts didn't work, the ninth was successful. Thank you!

    Don't get me started on this!!!.... oh well, ok. Outliner should be merged with Layers to be able to 'nest' layer sets. If we continue to model on layer 0 and organise groups and components on layers then with each nested group or component would give a prefix of the parent layer. This way visually manipulating groups [or components] in part or in full would be all too easy!!! It can't be more simple than that IMO.

    This discourse could inspire a request for a script. One that would highlight or put a target on widely scattered stuff, and the target would scale relative to the camera distance from the objects, so that you could inspect, edit, delete, move, etc. "Highlight remote objects", or "Mark remote objects". You can do this in Autocad, because the blue "grips" scale with the camera.

    I opened them both up in Photoshop (instead of the scaled down version on screen) and looking at a 1:1 crop and even a 4:1 crop, i think your new card looks way better. so, i actually disagree with you i think the new card looks better. Not sure what to tell you

    DWG import problem - Windows 7 / SU 8

    80% of the time, if I selected Sketchup Pro 8 "File -> Import...", I immediately got the Bugsplat, and Sketchup would close. If I kept relaunching Sketchup, and selecting Import, eventually the Import Browser would remain open and allow me to import the dwg or dxf file. I figured it might be due to my Autocad 2006 program (which is technically incompatible with Windows 7, even though it does seem to work okay), so I uninstalled Autocad 2006. Now I no longer get the Bugsplat. I installed Autocad 2006 on a different machine than the machine that I run Sketchup on. Of course, that solution is also a work around, because it would be better to be able to run both applications on the same machine. I have been looking around for a newer Autocad version (Windows 7 compatible) to see if that will help, but it sounds like you all are saying that the Bugsplat will still occur, and that Trimble (and Autodesk?) will need to fix the bug.
