    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

    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

    This lack of anti aliasing options issue has only appeared with late model Macs, I have a G4 which does give access to the graphics card & the SU viewport displayed great presentation - I contacted Apple & the Graphics card manufacturers & received no positive feedback, you can't use older Graphics cards in newer Macs either.

    The SU dwg/dxf exporter has what I would call a bug - it doesn't record the unit used in the exported file. That means that most of the "receiving" applications interpret that the file uses inches. When importing to AutoCad, the application can be taught not to scale the import in any way, but I have found it easier to open it first separately and change the scale settings in the file before inserting it in my drawings. For a DXF it would be possible to correct the file in a text editor, but it is still up to the receiving app if it reads the info correctly. Anssi

    When you export a 3D DXF it's created with the 'Units' that are currently set in 'Model Info'. In your case 'cm' - so a line 10cm long has its length set in the 3D DXF as '10.0' When you export a 2D DXF it's always made in 'inches' - you cannot change this. So a line that was 10cm long in SUp now has its length in the 2D DXF as 3.937007874016 (inches) [1/2.54] However, if you know it was in 'cm' and is now in 'inches' then you can easily apply a scaling factor to all of its contents, following the above guidance...
