    V8.0 is released https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=2Dtools Or via the ExtensionStore dialog. It fixes a glitch with v2026 whereby some MAC users could not get the TAB key press/up to work to open dialogs in some tools, and some PC users had to press/up 4 times to make TAB work. But <=2025 users had no issues. I've now improved the onKeyUp methods to optimize TAB use in v2026, but it can still be flaky for some users. including me needing 4x press/up! So as an additional option I've added one press/up on the Shift key which will also open the dialogs, in certain tools like LineStyle and Hatching. The Help pages explain this dialog opening more fully. Please try and report back issues...

    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!

Risky stuff. I've a tweaked version that avoids all base class messing on... If anyone wants a copy PM me... I'll ave a copy if you don't mind Tig

    @gaieus said: Hi Patrick, I would first wade through all my plugin folder to remove any renderin related rb (or rbs) file manually. Uninstalling the application itself may not remove these files, too. If SU is still unstable, you can safely reinstall it and all your custom added plugins should remain intact. **As for the forums - it won't disappear. ** Hi Gaieus just an update to let you know how it went! I did as you said and removed all render related rb files and it appears to have done the trick. I did not have to re-install SU so maybe I think that Render[in] 2 clashed with my other render programs, I had Podium and Shaderlight installed. Anyhow all's well and thanks again for your help. Thanks also to Annsi and Catamountain from the google forum for taking the time to reply to my call for help!

    @fakircho said: I don't really understand what the issue is? It just a disk image, of course you can keep the dmg file. You can make backups of it until your heart is content and you can save them anywhere you want. The issue is I have no idea what they are or how they work, as this is a return to a Mac for me. So, if I can hang on to this and it will work without a web connection or access to the big G, great. Thanks.

    I wonder if AD plans to bundle this with AutoCAD Mac like they do with AutoCAD on the PC? That is that you get Inventor Fusion with your copy of AutoCAD.

    @thomthom said: @fuzzion said: I am not really sure what to make of this. You didn't really explain what you where talking about until towards the end of the thread... Helps to start of with the actual topic. Regardless, there's a loooong thread here on the topic: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=44881 @fuzzion said: What will happen to Vray for sketchup. Devin said that they see no reason for much to change. They will keep working on VfSU. @fuzzion said: Are there plans to continue the plugin scheme. Appears so. Their announcement said they want to continue with SketchUp as a platform. So I think/hope it might in fact make it better. @fuzzion said: 3)Does Trimble plan to improve on Sketchup or use newly acquired IP rights to start a new software? Don't think they'll start a completely new software. (Depends on what you mean by n"new" (complete rewrite?)) If they'll change the SketchUp package? Who knows... The SketchUp team has said that SketchUp will be SketchUp. Have a look at the thread I linked to. Any information out there on the topic will be referred to there. Thanks for the input

    Thanks for the response Mike. But I will suggest that even before I sign a contract on a job, I like to tell my "future" clients that "I'm looking forward to working with them". Regardless, of the closing date, it looks, as far as I can tell, like a "done deal". (apology's for all the quotation marks). Honestly, I hope the deal is closed soon, so we SU users can get a better handle on how it will affect us. Chris

Nope, no plugin; it's right there in the zoom section of the Large Tool Set. Ah you mean Zoom previous ... Pilou, no, you can't do the same.

    I hope that Apple do offer something exceptional to truly kick Google Earth/Maps butt. The more competition the better. But I'm a little wary of the fact that Apple's recent releases have been significantly less awesome than the hype created beforehand. Both the iPhone 4S and iPad "3" releases offered very little in terms of improvements. So why automatically assume that just because Apple are dumping Google that they have something awesome to replace it with? The animosity that Apple feel towards Google could spur them to create a GE killer, but it's more likely that they are just dumping Google and going with a close competitor than they're going to make a huge stride forward with their first attempt. I hope that Apple do offer an awesome service like those flyover movies suggest. I'm not holding my breath though.

    Merci, Pilou. I don't think I need Chris' PI for this as I have no problem selecting the faces that I want. I'm not sure how the TIG code bits help, either. I want each face or each face group to be made into an instance of the same component. Your mark-up tool is very nice, though. Is it available in English?

    Another thing : with the plugin Mover (this is Mover 2 : I have made the animation with Mover 0 ) I believe than you can't see the animation if Mover is not installed mover.skp
