    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!

    Can anyone help with this? I really don't want to remove SketchuUp from our College image because of this but so far cannot find a work around.

    Hi folks. Using the "Follow me" tool on this path that goes around and up and down will result in an unavoidable twisting of the facet. Using the "Follow and keep" plugin may help. Also, try to use an arc with as few segments as you can to minimise edges and face count. Three or four segments shall suffice to give a neat look. You may even try simply smoothing the edges at the interscetion of the two shapes to see if the "rounded" look may be sufficient. Just ideas.

    I've been investigating this further and have found that the problem can be reliably reproduced. I have submitted this to the Google forum at http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sketchup/thread?tid=6b0a0298daee1261&hl=en At the above link I have posted links to SU files that can reproduce the error, as well as a YouTube video showing the bug in action. The work-around in my case seems to be to ensure that the component is in "edit" before using Project Photo (when using match photo). Hope this helps some others

    That's all you need to do; extract the files in the Plugins folder (make sure your XP OS does not create a "top level" folder for them; copy/move everything straight under the main plugins folder). After restarting SU, see if ShapeBender is enabled under Window > Preferences > Extensions. It also has a toolbar under View > Toolbars.

    It goes by file suffix, so if you have a .dae file in that folder it should list it ???

    Sorry, I was going to add a note about it but apparently I forgot. However Tom is perfectly right; this is not a well thought out poll as there are so many "other" options, too!

    What? Are you now converted to "No docked toolbar"? (Note that many suffers from toolbars rearranging the SU Window and this is a very cool way to stop that, too!)

    Yeah, 64 bit support could be beneficial for exporting (rendering, 2D export size limit etc). ATM I also often get to the limits of RAM when rendering/exporting really large images from inside SU.

    You should really look at annotating your drawing in Layout, that is one of the things it is designed for, where as Sketchup is not. You need SU Pro to have Layout. You can always download the 8hr trial version if you do not own it and wish to try it out.

    You can export it from Revit as a .dwg file - however, if you are running a free version of SU7, you should download this optional plugin first http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=161784 to enable dxf/dwg import in SU. Check out this tutorial also http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3271&p=236965&hilit=revit+sketchup#p236965
