    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!

    Thanks Tig, just needed a little lateral thinking. The workflow I was using was to create the walls with dline.rb, which obviously doesn't create the floor slab, I was then telling myself I needed to trace the room boundary. Using what you have suggested it is easy enough to open the wall group, redraw one of the inner edges of the wall to create the face that forms the floor. Select the face WITHOUT the boundary edges and edit>cut. If you select the face AND boundaries the edit>cut will destroy the original geometry. Close the wall group and then paste in place to create the floor which can then be pushpulled, grouped & layered as required.

    I've been having troubles closing the files. Everytime I close one it hangs and says the program does not respond (I work in spanish so I don't know the equivalent in english). I'd say this started when I installed SU8 without deleting SU7. But I need them both!

    Thanks for your idea. I did the search you recommned and found models that indeed did not appear in my previous searches...unfortunately, they are all EXTERNAL views, you cannot get INSIDE ... still searching!

    Could you post a screenshot or something to see what it looks like? I always recommend exporting at a higher resolution. Perhaps try doubling the resolution (or even tripling) and reduce it afterwards. -Brodie

    Hi Martin, I am a Podium user and I agree with Gaieus that you should look to the Podium forum for help. The issues you are experiencing sound render related not sketchup related. When you post your question at the Podium forum give as much info as possible ie podium version your using, preset used, image of render, etc. Also If you are new to podium, check out the lighting and other tutorials found at the Podium forum. Good luck, hope to see your post. http://supodiumforum.websitetoolbox.com/ Paul

    If you slowly push through the wall you should get a tool tip that says "on face" when you get to the other side of the wall (if you can see into the opening), at which point release the mouse. Alternatively if you know the wall thickness (accurately) you can enter that in the VCB to create the opening. Tip: To create more openings in the same wall, hovver the pushpull tool over the required opening area so it highlights then double click - instant hole

    Resized my model - texture problems with scale? SU8

    That's true. However especially this texture scaling issue is the reason why one should not scale groups/components only just a little bit (so that the different instances do not differ too much from the definition itself). Just an example: I model everything in a bigger scale knowing that SU has issues with too small scales. Now if I use ten instances of the same component and at the end I scale everything back, the texture will get distorted on each so the scale definition command is useful in this case. In the above case, the model was already messed up (some parts with scaled while other parts with normal texture) so here it's almost all the same which method we choose, neither is really "clean" any more.

    Here is my solution to this problem: -change units from mm to meters -resize the model with the measure type tool (1mm = 1m) -apply trim to the solids (and also all other operations till finished the model) -change units back to mm -resize back the model with the measure type tool (1m = 1mm) I'm sure that there are other problems related to the size of the model, that can be overcome in this way.

    We have had a closer look to this already. It would need yet another javascript to load and it is quite an active load to always query the Facebook site for the stats it seems. Sometimes SCF is getting slow anyway (looking for solutions...)

    John, before you get finished with this component, you might want to adjust the edges of that end face. Take a look at the two scenes in the attached file. The guideline runs along the edge at the end of the slope. Notice the edges of the end aren't coplanar. I expect this is a big reason for the triangulation required to get the surface to fill. I fixed it by replacing extending the round part and slicing it off with a cutting plane. Edit: I moved this thread because it isn't a bug. Crescent Wrench 3.skp Crescent Wrench 3 fixed.skp

    No, the versions are always updated together. In fact, there is just one core program. Your version is the most up-to-date now - it came out some time in January or February. Aaron may still have had the previous version (from September).

    Well, I have corrected the problem. With Dale's help. For some reason, the program reverted back to a trial version and it appeared the registration code wasn't working. However, the problem seems to be me. I guess I wasn't careful enough in entering either the email address or the code. Anyway, after being extra careful, the program was registered again with the original code. I wish to thank Dale for all his help and the program. Just wanted to be sure I have included the solution to this plugin problem. Thanks to all in your responses. Ken
