    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!

    To find the Plugins folder for this MAC SUp installation just type or copy+paste this into SUp-Menu > Window > Ruby-Console <enter> Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins') There are some pre-loaded 'examples/utility' scripts in Tools that are auto-loaded from there and need activating from Window > Preferences > Extensions. Any Plugins that you add should go in there or for complex zipped sets extract into there keeping any files that are in subfolders in the zip file in the same subfolders in Plugins etc... Read each script's instructions... Some Plugins also come as Extensions and will need a one off activation. Others might not appear in the Plugins menu but under perhaps the Draw or Tool menus, some have a Toolbar [activated under View > Toolbars] to run them either in addition to a menu item or sometimes as the only means of running them; whilst others only appear in the right-click context-menu when a suitable select has been made. A few others are 'helper files' - like 'progressbar.rb' - and only add functionality to other scripts whilst never appearing separately as themselves, or tools are used so rarely that you type a command into the Ruby Console to run them, rather than have any menu entries..........

    Gerrit, That is a really slick solution. It amazes me at how the generic toolset can accomplish just about anything you want. Thanks, a very insightful set of postings.

    Yes, AFAIK SP has some collision detection although I have not taken the bravery to plunge into it myself either (yet) so I am not sure how it would work...

    Isn't loading time more a function of hard drive, and bus speed? I have a slow 3 ghz, 2 core machine that loads about 30 plugins in under 10 seconds the first time.

    All those renderers have an assortment of lights such as spot or point. They also have the ability to make actual surfaces emit...so you can place a point light inside a lamp shade or make the lampshade itself glow...or both. They're not limited to just the sun by any means.

    I use twilight render. That pin "might" be easier than you think. You only need to make one feather component and then reproportion unique instances until you have all the feathers for one wing. Then you tuck the feathers together to assemble the wing. Then group the wing. Then copy and flip the wing horizontally.

    Of course I did not mean that you said "cheap" that way (you did not say cheap at all, I know). In fact, Kerkythea is a great application and beats many commercial renderers, too. If you use png transparency, it can also render that so you do not need to create a separate clipping mask. What image format is that logo in?

    Thank you Dave, I've sent you the file. In the end it could be a corruption, possibly of both styles I wanted to save. Interested in what you think. I have found that I CAN save styles that came with SU into a new collection by the methods described,just not my created styles. Catch up with you soon. Peter [Update: Dave saved the Styles into files for me. In the process I figured out that SU8 was accessing the SU6 Styles folder. I threw out the SU6 support folders and things started acting normally. Thanks Dave!]

    Yes, exactly. I used shorter pieces of animation with the combination of stills (for the transition effects) in this video (demonstrating "phases" of a Roman excavation site). Used only Windows Movie Maker for it. [flash=600,500:159ufj09]http://www.youtube.com/v/bKsEpF1Neh0[/flash:159ufj09]
