    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    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 figured I was overlooking something. In any event, thank you both for clearing up the issues and thanks for the script reference. This is the best modeling software!

    @arcad-uk said: Csaba, good tip, but I regularly hit "Delete Guides" to quickly clean up my drawing, can you stop the marks being deleted? Unfortunately, no. Even when you put them into locked groups, they are deleted. You can copy and "paste in place" your needed guides into an empty file though and when done with all the modelling, do the same to get them back.

    If you mean UV[re]mapping of textured materials, then there are several scripts to do this... Search the 'Plugins Index'...

    @bkjernisted said: Is it possible to collapse vertices or points in Sketchup as you can in Cinema4d. Merge all selected vertices to a point? I added such a feature to Vertex Tools 1.1 which I will release soon. It also has a function to merge vertices within a given proximity of each other.

    Rhots: There are some concepts which may help to understand what is happening: What is printed is the screen image and not the model. The display nor your printer under stand model size. They work strictly in pixes / dots per inch; For the fit to page print what you see for page size is not the model but the screen size SU has calculated based on its knowledge of the model ize and the pixels size of your screen settings; SU then uses that information and the printer settings to determine the scaling it must a apply to print the screen to your specified paper size and thus the scaling you see in the left scaling box. BTW I would suggest you toogle the use screen extents several times until the the page size report is consistent. ( I think there is a bug here because this and the zoom extents in the SU window give different results. ) In addition related to your comment about dimensions disappearing check what you have set in the expert dimension dialog box. There is an option of not printing when they get too small. I would suggest you make a simple rectangle model with an aspect ratio consistent with you screen (2d) and then make its size very close to the paper size and check out what is happening including change of print format. Just some thoughts based on what I think I know

    IIRC, there is something along those lines among the "Solid" tools of SU 8 Pro, too.

    Great idea to break it by rooms. I didn't think of that. FYI, as 3D printing is getting larger, it would be great to have a plug-in that allows you to bind the model as a complete unit, then chop it up however you want. Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

    Tim, many thanks for the prompt response. I noticed that too but was a little confused as I have not imported any .dwg's. Also, I have noticed that on other occasions, the error report states that is SketchyPhysics or some otherplugin that has crashed. I am going to have a drink and go to bed! This is frustrating! Cheers...Scotty

    Tig, your answer are so amazing, specially the once related with your work (plugins). I've bookmarked all your post regarding with extrude thing, because is so dificult for us normal mind to follow the use of your plugin. They are so versatiles that we don't know how to use it or when (at lest me), but you are doing a good work "tigging" us your plugins. I barely give my answer but I give you my

    ThruPaint looks very useful, of course. Perhaps PaintThru? And don't forget PaintThru For Dummies.

    This is happening because you are using a displacement based material on geometry that is not meant for displacement -- for more info on how to resolve this see this thread: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=38223 Best, Jason.
