    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!

    While I am in complete agreement with all the suggestions (keep model clean and consistent), I understand that there are cases of course, when one needs to quit the "rules". So ThomThoms UV toolkit will do the job for you - even keeping all the UV co-ordintes. [image: 5Yra_uv-toolkit.png] Also, there are a bunch of "reverse faces" plugins that will do the same. FrontFace is by Tomasz and while it is reversing the faces (even through group and component wrappers), it copies the material (until then applied to the back face) onto the front face - also keeping UV's.

    @erentumer said: Hi , I need to create section on my model and render it with vray.I am using "slice model at selection" but I have a problem that if model is detailed ahen I use slice model , sketchup shut downs..does anyone knows a solution for that problem ? I find this with large models from time to time. My solution is to isolate and group the section you need to work on, copy it into a different document (paste in place) and then put back in the master file. I have to do this a lot when intersecting. There may be other methods but this always works for me.

    That's why I said two of them... I've never thought of or called them colors. Even when I use flat colors. I think of it and refer to it as a material. I used to think of them in line weights back in 2D cad. they were color coordinated. certain colors meant certain line weights.

I tried that already @tig said: It's hard coded. This was discussed a while ago... On a PC only... if you write a script that auto-loads and runs itself that includes some WScript calls to make key-strokes it can be done, but it's a cludge... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39837&p=352123&hilit=wscript+circle#p352123 Hmmm...

    It's probably a "crap job" DWG file causing the problem. There's a reason that the edge you point out looks thick. Most likely it's two lines very close together. It carries around the arc at the end, too. If that shape was drawn correctly with only one edge along there, the line would display with the same thickness all the way around. Could you post the SKP file showing the problem?

    Well, I used Revo Uninstaller to remove all traces of Trimble Update SU version, and re-installed previous SU version, and.....same problem. I have finally traced the problem to a faulty, intermittent usb connection on my external hard drive. That drive contains all the files I work on regularly (including all my SU files) and I connect it to either my desktop or laptop. I work from that drive on whichever computer it's connected to, and save anything I've changed to it, backing it up whenever it's connected to my desktop. The day before the skb problem started I had just installed the drive in a new external enclosure, and the usb connector did not fit correctly to my motherboard connection. Whenever it would briefly disconnect is when the problems would arise. Anyhow, I have fixed that problem and everything is working fine now. Even tho the Trimble update was not the bad guy, I'm not going to update any of my computers. I've had a long-standing policy of not updating anything right after the update becomes available, instead waiting until I feel any bugs have been discovered and fixed. This has kept me out of trouble a number of times. I'll wait until a significant update comes out (after I feel it's safe) Thanks again to everybody.

    The only option in SU is to use Artisan. But don't think you want to model a lions head in SU. This is more something for Zbrush. It is possible in SU but If you want a few details such as the mains and stuff you will reach SU limits soon. Greetz Twan

    Layer0 is special in terms that raw (ungrouped) geometry being on it will always keep its visibility. In your case (without going into this "speciality"), the solution would be to group that geometry displaying those images and place the group on a separate layer (which now you can hide).

    I have done pretty successful matches from other software which also does not have a camera export that could be used in SU by simply exporting an image first and then using SketchUp's match photo function to exactly (or at least as much as possible) match the image with the SU model. (Normally one would go the other way round, true).

    SpaceClaim seems like a better version of SketchUp But too pricey!
