    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!

    I also have put together some YouTube videos on script writing. The first one is similar to the first tutorial in the Link that Honolulu posted. It shows what software I recommend, and what my workflow is. It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisFullmer And then check out all the other videos in the "Writing SketchUp Ruby" series. I think there are 6 total at this point. I add more little by little as I think of something interesting to show in a video. Chris

    Seems I read somewhere sometime in this forum that you can do a large terrain in smaller sections, whatever smaller means and make components of these to manage file size. However, what I understand is that even with a really powerful computer, there will be issues. But, I am not entirely sure, since my gear is woefully below par.

    Just an other question directly linked to the topic: in the "animation export options", on mac, I never could set the frame rate under 5 frames per second, which creates me a lot of useless pictures. Whatever format I'd choose, I never could access the "expert mode", which icon keeps white. I guess this "expert mode" would allow me to select the 1 fps rate, but how to get there?

    Been too busy to get back and close this.... I was able to get the copy / rotate to do what was needed. I grouped a handful of faces that had the texture properly positioned, did paste in place, and then positioned the rotate "wheel" on the center point of the arc and typed in the degrees I wanted. That worked pretty well. I did notice a couple of times there were very tiny mis-alignments... not sure if I got lazy and relied on the inference engine instead of typing a value or if the polys were mis-aligned to begin with. At any rate, I'm cruzin now! Thanks very much for the suggestion.

    How do you find an axis for rotating something that's round?

    Rich & Mitcorb, thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. @unknownuser said: Does this help? Have i even made sense? Now that you guys mentioned the segment counts on the rails + the link, well doh! Seems pretty obvious. @Rich, what would you consider a reasonable poly count for something like this? I was thinking it seemed rather heavy at this point. Thanks again!

    Hi folks. I did a test: 1 - I selected only the two arcs. 2 - I used the Sandbox Tool "From Contours". 3 - I did some clean-up (less than 30 seconds). The result looks not too bad. Just ideas.

    Or IrfanView. simple little program that will allow cropping.... GIMP is great for many for functions but may be a little daunting at first. good luck.

    Good on you. What a great job you have done on this. The animation is quite smooth, if you weren't so crazy (busy--to clarify) I be bugging you to describe your process and workflow.

    Give this a try too. A shortcut that worked for a simple test I used TIG's roof tool which groups and made a profile cutout for the 2nd floor intersect and grouped same. Then used BooTool Boolean subtract plugin for the cutout. (just ignore the not a valid solid message) and ++++++ Bingo. No cleanup and ready for the next step. dtr

    Even changing the Toolbar icon size will affect the viewport. I always ensure that I only have one row of small icons in my view - I'm kind of stuck with it due to the number of projects set up to match SU output and render output.
