    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!

    Weird indeed. I really wish once the development team found a way for the SU sun to respect image transparency (imagine how easier it would be with billboard entourage) but at the same time I also wish they kept this current method (maybe as a checkbox in the material editor?) when image transparency is not transparent to shadows. But this misbehaviour???

    OK it seems thomthom's plugin 'Cleanup' does the job in a round about sort of way, not to mention a few other extremely useful things. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=22920

    @unknownuser said: Can't you set how many threads Twilight uses so you've resources for both? But if you've already started then it's too late... Yes, that too. Although s he says it's a complicated model with progressive rendering so I guess it will take long so pausing for a little bit and then let it cook at top speed overnight seems to be more economical. If I had 8 cores, I may have thought about that solution. I have a dual core only however.

    Hi All Thanks for the suggestions, it was a rush job so in the end just deleted all materials then re input the glass. I will have a play with TIG's suggestion as this will not be the last time. Thanks All Matthew

    In 8 your toolbar positions are saved. So if your resize your window it will go crazy as usual. But when you return to it's original size there is a command to restore toolbars. LAA means that if your use 64bit OS SU can utilise more ram. So those long number crunching waits are reduced. Not quite sure how much ram but there is an article in our Webmag CatchUp that explains it. It was actually written by Twilight Guru Fletch. Edit It's 4gb on 64bit. Up to 3gb on 32bit but that needs some tweaking to happen.

    @unknownuser said: You can use FredoScale to view the dimensions. Select a part of the model, then choose the Scale tool. If you mouseover the corners of the bounding box, you get the dimensions displayed in the status bar. Fredo I didn't know that...how neat! The display changes according to which grip you mouseover, thanks Fredo.

    Hi, munkey: Is there not an initial Scene, or first frame, saved as starting point? It is best to post in the Sketchyphysics sub forum.

    Hello, That would be a nice feature to add. I agree, getting the same structure in the PDF as is Sketchup would be very nice. If you add tis, make it optional, to allow people who have other interests to use it in the current way. Adding property/value to each node/component would transport the complete information available. Regards Hans-Peter

    @walterap said: I'll try to explain my doubts. I started my work with the "simple templet meters" now wanted to move to "architectural design millimeters", using the dialog box "preferences" but nothing changes. What to do? It sounds to me as if you didn't do anything to load the new template. After selecting the template in Preferences>Templates, click on File>New. This isn't a bug so it shouldn't be in the SketchUp Bugs forum.

    I am guessing here, and most probably will get corrected: If this was a circle extruded into a drum, I will bet that the circle is a closed curve, you did some outline with Tools on Surface to generate the eyebrow, then did perhaps a Joint PushPull to project it which sent some spurious signals to the program "behind the curtains". It interrupted its connection with the curve. Wrong? Oh, well.
