    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!

    On a reversed face, projected textures are usually positioned mirrored.

    Magnificent model of ancient Inca city, and cheers for dedicated effort to create it! Having hiked there in '83, your model exposes much more than what we could see at that time. The mountainous terrain is so much a part of Macchu Picchu that it really adds to the SU complexity and challenge.

    I am also having this problem in both Sketchup 7 and 8. I can still go to the 3D warehouse but can't figure out how to download a component into my model. When I download it opens it in a new template. It takes so much more time without the use of the components window, what is going on??

    @massimo said: Hi Jim, so you want to get rid of the hidden geometry? If so go to "view" in the menu and untick "hidden geometry". Bear in mind that SU works with planar faces so you'll always have edges (hidden or visible) even in a "curved" surface. Ahh!!...Thank You Very Much. I was only familiar with the hatch patterns that display on hidden components. . . I didn't realize that view option had this effect on curves (when turned on). I was convinced I had a stubborn edge on my hands. Thanks again, Jim

    @thomthom said: I have found a way to make components not fade out. Stay tuned for a new plugin. Should be useful for modelling by references. Thanks buddy. If you happen to think about it please post back if/when you create it as I don't follow the plugins section as much as I should sometimes and would hate to miss it. -Brodie

    GoldenSim is apparently quite upset that I referred to the stolen Caddy as "my" Caddy. And technically, he's right. I did modify his original model for a contest that he was holding (see Topic http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=333&t=38739). So I just wanted to set the matter right. The model stolen was in fact my heavily modified/corrected version of his original basic model.

    How to place object on spiral path?

    Thanks, but for my specific problem that would only be a partial solution. It would do the spiral portion OK, but my bearings do a loop back through a specific path, that your solution could not handle. It would require a secondary operation to place bearings on that loopback path, and while not a difficult job, the "String Comps" Ruby did it all in a single step, not counting the path definition step I would need to do for both, if only partially for your solution.

    Hi Hellnbak, hi folks. Your path is not coplanar. This is why the face twist when following the path. Just ideas.

    Obviously I meant a gluing component that way; placing its axes (i.e. gluing plane) where it should be to glue properly. OP also wrote: @baileyboi said: ...they would then slide along any axis that you hadnt fixed... Translated to SU-lingo, that is typically a glued component which you can move on the plane wherever you want but cannot get it off the plane incidentally.

    Hi Cotty. it was just a simple block model, the outline extruded and further extrusions to create the roof, so I just decided to place the window opes and noticed when removed the rectangles that the inner face of the block model was gone. I just thought it might be a quicker way to model rather than pulling up the external walls, it's not causing any grief I was just wondering is this usual with sketchup, thanks for your reply

    I was really more curious about why than getting a fix. I edited the "solid" version with the open face, by deleting 1 line of the round hole and redrawing that 1 line. The face re-formed and the object is now a proper solid.
