    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!

    @ nics: Regarding the empty back face on the door frame, this may be a similar effect of the PushPull tool. You can simply trace with the pencil tool one of the edges of the missing face and it should fill in. If it does not, then you can draw a diagonal across the open area. This should cause the face to fill, but will not guarantee that the face is a single plane. If it is a single plane, you can erase the diagonal and the face will remain. Also, sometimes there are unseen endpoints along what appears to be one straight segment. You will need to "connect all the dots" to close the face. In most cases a face will not fill if the edges are not completely on the same plane. Sometimes Sketchup seems not to notice whether all edges can form a plane. This is due to some ambiguity in the workings of the program "behind the curtains".

    Photomatch Problem

    Sorry David I will only find out if they are cropped if I try to photomatch them. I am not technically competent in photography and the image was emailed to me by a client - from a website download. I have modelled it by guesstimating the dimensions. I plan to make a similar bed for the client and she wanted it as close as possible to the image. It was my first attempt at photomatch and I was getting very frustrated at not being able to achieve a good vertical line position when my horizon points were very accurately positioned. Thus the request for help. I have reread your original post on the topic and I just cant match what you are saying to what you have done in the images with the lines. Sorry for not being able to understand this thus my request for further direction on learning more about the subject. Thanks for the reply.

    Hummmm I was sort of hoping that someone might have a script (ruby or otherwise) that would shut the darn thing off. You're right. It's about 95% crap. I knew that when Google purchased SU, that it would loose some class. I mean, for god's sake, I've now got smiling laughing utterly ridiculous icons dancing on this page. Maybe that's okay if you're modeling for the kiddie sandbox. It's way I stopped visiting the forums, stopped, just about everything related to Google.

    Search for a similar thread - where I showed how to use a completely transparent png as a texture for the material on all faces - you then also hide the edges in the object [group/component] and then you can't see it at all, but it casts a shadow...

    The original post was to consider industries, but how about polling cross industry uses? Design, reconstruction, modeling, entertainment, or production to begin with. Given the most popular use of SU promoted by Google, reconstruction would probably be its predominant use. Lucky for us minority users.

    I am not aware of any unit selection involving acres. Probably some script could be written. Maybe check TIG's arsenal of scripts. Or see in Smustard, or Ruby Library Depot.

    There are some rendering applications that can export an alpha mask (white for the rendered objects and black for the background). Have a look at Kerkythea for instance (free). Then it's just a matter of multiply layering the images.

    I am sort of starting to hope that we had a separate Metric version of Sketchup. The present situation is that the majority of users have to cope with a shoddy translation system added to an odd medieval system of measures that bounces on you whenever you turn your back. Anssi

    Correct. V8 is a lot faster because it's written in c++. *** Spoiler Screenshot below *** [image: VYcL_460.png]

    Strange saving behavior

    I had this happen while trying to save to a usb drive some time ago. Try a Save As on your skp file and see if it will overwrite the pre-existing file. Or, rename the file to something else. Close the program, restart the program and call up the new file with Open, and navigate in your OS folder hierarchy rather than from the MRU list at the bottom of the drop down. I am only trying to help. I have a feeling you already know the above procedure. Good Day
