    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!

    @panixia that's fine. I was simply demonstrating what it would take for the OP to use the texture image they shared.

    I completely missed this thread. Glad you gave the extension a try. Here's also an update: I recently published version 3.0 which can now be used also with other services like Google (tested), Anthropic, DeepSeek (untested). As a result, I also renamed the extension. Give it a try... https://alexschreyer.net/projects/openai-explorer-experimental/

    Hi everyone, I came across this thread while looking for discussions about generating threads in SketchUp. I know it's an old topic, but since it still gets a lot of views, I thought it might be useful to share a solution I've developed. [image: 1741950723105-cover.jpg] I’ve created a SketchUp plugin that automates the creation of threaded parts (bolts, nuts, internal threads, etc.). What makes it different is that it generates threads from a custom tooth profile, making it compatible with any type of thread, including multi-start threads. Key Features: Generate threaded rods, nuts, and internal threads in just a few clicks Works with any thread profile – metric, imperial, trapezoidal, custom, etc. Supports multi-start threads Here’s a demo video showcasing how it works: https://youtu.be/Fkf5j-hS8sU?si=-xgwl_lkRdeAQph9 (The video is in French, but you can turn on YouTube subtitles and auto-translation.) The plugin is available here: For the US users: https://fabcnc.gumroad.com/l/threads-filetages For the EU users: https://payhip.com/b/3j7ZF If anyone here still needs an easy way to create threads in SketchUp, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    Thank you for the reply. Yeah, the intersecting point should be a sharp point, but the beginning should be an arc. I tried a few solutions but didn't end up with a good result.

    What's your "best practice" when working on large, complex terrain surfaces? (e.g. as architect/LA)

    SketchUp by nature is destructive when it comes to geometric changes. It's only course correction is the undo stack. To get around this my preferred method is to have a series timestamped files that constitute as snapshots. So rollback is easier. If I'm working in a modular fashion I use saved components. As an example I have a 00-master.skp with all the components. These components are also saved a separate files in a working directory next to the master. If I work on a component file I can reload changes in the master. My main objective to keep the master file as the target file and everything else piped to it. Not sure it that helps in regards your workflow. My approach has been to treat the master file as assembly point of the work I do in other files. If I do make minor changes in the master I save that back to the components working directory as either an overwrite or as a new timestamped version.

    I have been told that the classic graphics engine works better too on a pc. Open GL Versus direct X, what to make of this I do not know but it's a pain in the petunia's.

    @alexpacio2013 said in Discussion - object is not a manifold solid !?: I guarantee you that Bool tools 2 works and works better than the standard tools even among solids You're preaching to the choir on that point. I don't use nor even recommend the native Solid Tools. I guess I have no problem, even for complex objects, with making them solids so I get predictable results when using Bool Tools 2 or Eneroth Solid Tools.

    @TIG I did the usual repair, tried initialy numerous times to install the 'bundle', each time it was reported that the install went well TT library had to be completed seperately but this was NOT an issue. The copy and paste method worked. Odd, I know.
