    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!

    I have never had good results with shadows on in any model. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I never understood why people insist on working with shadows on anyhow. Every model I have downloaded has shadows on! Its kind of annoying.

    Vikkram, Welcome! People probably need to get a step by step description of the technique you are using. Working with terrain, one thing I can say is, you may want to get some plugins such as Vertex tools and Artisan. Are you using the Smoove tool and the selection of vertices is incomplete? Is it possible to make a screen shot? Peter

    Almost all 3D printing machines use STL as their input files. The software that coverts the STL and drives the machines (mostly by G-code) is almost always proprietary and is supplied by the machine vendor. The meshes of complex STL files often do have flaws which need to be repaired, for this there is netfabb which is free for the basic program. hth, Norbert

    Yea.. I looked at TIG's slicer plugin, and that is exactly what he needs. Whoopsie! Only manifold solids? hmmmm... Then a new script will need to be written, or TIG will need to modify that one. Sorry.

    But where did all my installed codecs go? Last I checked, there were about 8. I downloaded and installed the Classic Windows Codec Pack from Cnet (who I trust) and tried another export. Same problem! Still no codecs show up in the dialog.

    Hi John, hi folks. For this to work you need two things: 1 - That the two face defining your wall are perfectly parallel to each other. If the wall has been created by pulling up a rectangle with the Push/Pulltool, this should not be a problem. 2 - That you stop the pushing action exactly on the opposite wall. If you use an inference from any endpoint or edge or the face itself of this opposite wall, this should not be a problem either. Remember that you can orbit, pan, zoom, change view, change rendering mode, change scene, etc. even in the midle of any drawing, moving, rotating, scaling, etc. operation. In short, you can start pusing the rectangle for the opening on one face of the wall and then, while the pushing action is still in progress, orbit so that you are now seeing the opposite face of the wall and then complete the pushing operation using an inference from this face. Just ideas.

    tx Dave, its a good idea to adjust the style to meet my goal. Still, I think its a bit strange that Sketchup does one export fine and the other stalls forever, the same model, just a different scene with the same layers active. I will disable all extensions when exporting image files though. Need some more time to see what causes the problem. Exporting disabling all trees, cars and people components will also speed things up. Mostly I only need the sketchy lines for the model of the architecture. I will post some of the results of this project later on. Its a competition so I can't right now. Francois

    I love to draw volumes. sketchup has the strengths and weaknesses of the design with the surfaces ... like sections and filling. I cleaned and reinstalled. I have not solved ... look to make another model using the head so that it is as clean as possible. if there is news ..... thanks again

    Yes, where you click to begin the move is important. I picked a face on the object by inferencing its face for the beginning of the move. Perhaps I muddied the waters. I wanted to show there are many ways you can get inferences, and I moved off to the left with the face inference to begin the move in the video so the first object wouldn't move to the left and be in the way.
