    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 your helpful replies! All good suggestions. I started naming materials but its the ones that come with downloaded models that I'm concerned about.the ruby MrMike pointed out is a big help (material select). Even though not perfect, it pretty much helped me discover what model brought in that dark red color. And if I select a material I have the opportunity to see if its in use and by what. Cool. I actually would rather make my own models to have more creative control, especially when it comes to material introduction. There's not enough hours in a day for 3D modelin when working on a deadline.

    For me, too. Don1t worry. Those Google sites are so bloated; it will take a while till they updated everything (as it took almost a year to insert "Google" everywhere 6 ys ago)

    I am not an expert at these rendering terms myself but I think both specular and Fresnel control shininess here. Specular would be the overall "strength" of shininess and Fresnel would be how much the light is reflected and how much of it is scattered (think of a satin glossy material or a sharply reflective one).

    We may be getting closer - the only .skm files I can see are for textures I added. I have discovered that files that begin with a "." are invisible on Mac OS X. I have to go to the Apple store and talk to the guys at the Genius Bar. I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks for helping with this, Alan

    Hi Sam, hi folks. @ak-sam said: Great tip Jean! I'd like to be able to delete anything that isn't visible in a scene. If by delete you really want to remove the hidden geometry from the model, try this: 1 - Select all. All the non hidden objects get selected. 2 - Unhide all and also show all hidden layers. All hidden objects appear but are not selected. 3 - Press and hold the SHIFT key to Add/Subtract from the selection. 4 - While still pressing the SHIFT key, do a window select to englobe all the model, including already selected objects. These get unselected while all the rest gets selected. 5 - Delete the selection. BTW, to show all layers you do not have to click on the visibility check box for each one. There is a trick that seems undocumented. You click on the first layer, then press the SHIFT key and, while pressing it, click on the last layer. All of them will be selected. Then, click on the visibility check box of any hidden layer and it will be shown as well as all others. Just ideas.

    I was wondering when they'd starting using this type of maps. There's several other providers already out there. Even in Norway, a local provider has had it for a few years now: http://kart.finn.no/ It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for Google to produce data for my area - it's always taken quite a while before their product news reached this region.

    It's so funny how that page gives a bit of a twisted view on plugins, especially on the photorealistic rendering. Just putting in an alphabetic list isn't the way to go.. I mean: Arielvision? Caravagio Render? lol ... They look like ray tracers of the nineties . When a Sketchup user is noob to rendering, they will get all lost in that list.

    @michaelv said: @iichiversii said: Just another taught, or should I say question, if you were to create the same Model twice at the same scale, 1 made with tris and the other with quads would the number of polygons in the model created with tris be greater than the 1 made of quads, or would I be completely wrong? I don't know but here what I think: 1- It depends on the program, and the rules for creating the polygons 2- It depends on what is important (level of resolution, where) for each type 3- Why is the "greater" important? If it's to assess speed, it also will depend on speed of treatment, if you have less quads but they take longer to be treated, then no gain in speed right, so what is really the worry about the number? It's of no great importance, the size, just a quest for a better understanding of topology and the pros and cons of quads and the difference between them, that's all, I myself needed a better understanding of good topology and hopefully this will help others who seek a better understanding also in the future
