    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 was thinking to create a 'scene' for paralell projection and one for perspective. So you can quicly flick between both.

    Thanks to both,give a try with the old 3ds. @dereeei - I was asked how to import in Sketchup with textures. These files are only in dxf and 3ds.People are often lazy to change their ways

    I was unable to make a drawing face either, but I installed a toggle units plugin which gave me more accuracy with the coordinates so now they intercept. Thank You

    Various formats got various ways to store data. For instance, .3ds doesn't embed the textures - while .skp does. Things like that make up differences.

    The only time I've ever responded to a question in the ratings was to answer in the model details section. Not the most elegant solution but an effective one.

    Thanks for pointing this out. This appears to be a feature that has crept up on us. All versions up to and including V7 had a two part attribute...you could 'Locate' a model anywhere you liked (all FF stuff was located to San Luis Obispo CA) If you export a kmz from any of these, that model will indeed be located in someone's driveway near an intersection in downtown SLO. However importing such a model into SU did not (and does not) result in the behaviour you noted. However there is also a georeferencing check box (up to V7); if this is also checked then you get the behaviour you noted. This appears to be the case in the model mentioned. We'll make sure this doesn't occur again and try to track down any errant files in which this is the case. V8 has no such two part attributes...either a model is geolocated, or not. The weird thing is that all the legacy FF models that are located but not georeferenced (all but a tiny handful, I'd imagine) show up in V8 as not being geolocated at all...yet they still spit out a kmz that places them in SLO.

    It's not a funny way really - it's brilliant, and it does so for a very good reason If you have fought with other 3D programs where the textures scale themselves when you move a line or do some other modifications, which is what happens with normal UV mapped faces, you ought to love the way SU does it. The textures keep the same physical size whatever you do to the model (except scale the group/component, in which case the texture is scaled with the rest of the group), unless you tell it to scale, rotate, shear etc by using the Texture tools. This is one of the features that makes SU so great for architectural models etc.

    @dave r said: that's a nice line style. What is it? hey Dave, notice in his style that some of the shorter edges forming the curve don't show up.. i'll often try to apply styles to some of my drawings which are heavily curved etc and many of the lines won't show up.. in fact, so many of the edges won't show up that i can't use the style even though i really like the look of it. is this something i can fix myself via a setting -or- is it something to do with the style itself? thanks.

    As an archViz, I use Sketchup all the time, and I Have created a very personal workflow. Let's just say I wouldn't be so quick in modeling without a number of plugins. The plugins I use the most are: Extrusion Tools Tools on surface Opener (also referred to as HOLE) Lattice-izer Instances (so I can select all the instances of a component in 2 clicks) round corner joint push pull fredo scale mirror selection Rot90 I also make vast use of the sandbox tools, and I have a personal set of keyboard shortcuts. Section cuts I use a lot too. To make roofs with tiles and everything you could use: IstantRoof http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2010/11/instant-roof-instant-productivity.html wich comes in two versions: free and pro. Hope this helps

    you may try if disabling the Windows desktop composition does have any effect: "Right Click on SU > Properties > Compatibility tab > Settings > Disable desktop composition" [image: 259d1225821393-compatibility-mode-settings.jpg] hth, Norbert

    Section-Planes inside groups only cut the groups' geometry - so group some parts. each with an active section-plane and then you'll get complex section-cuts. Alternatively make a copy of the SKP and actually cut a portion of it away - see Zooro2 and SectionCutFace for more details of this - there are several threads discussing this type of complex section-cuts...........

    I scanned the thread briefly, so apologies if it's already been suggested...but wouldn't the easiest way simply be to construct a perfectly normal room then apply FFD 2x2? Why work out all the trigonometry when SU can do it for you? Ames.skp
