    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?

    I am not actually sure if this is what you mean by messing up with the system but I think in installing the application, you just have to uncheck the option on installing the Google search bar. If it does not have a checkbox then you just have to change the homepage of their browser after finishing the installation for the school laboratory. There is a free version of the SU that you can download from the internet, see if it will do for your students. Chrysalis School Montana

    The download is an installer - you should be able to just run the file and it will install itself.

    @tfdesign said: You are right, but AutoCAD, apart from ACIS 3D kernel, is primarily a 2D app, and SU isn't. acked, never understood why AD is bloating their 2D CAD with additional 3D stuff having AD/MD resp. Inventor in the portfolio... maybe the GSU effect Norb.

    @ianglo said: It seems that unless I have Pro 7 version and therefore can create dynamic components that I can't go down the exploded view as shown in the answer from dedmin. Is there another option, other than doing a copy of the componets onto the same "sheet"? Cheers The term is misleading. Just as you can make a component you can also "unmake" it. It does not look any different; just sheds the characteristics of a component. How about ... Put each copy on its own layer. Explode and manually move the pieces of one copy into an exploded view. Make two new scenes each with one of the layers turned off.

    Hi Maid, That is still clipping (and fixing the FOV does not necessarily help). Are you not in Parallel projection by any chance? What about the (original) world origin? How far is it to the model? Any stray geometry far away?

    New to the forums (and fairly new to SU). I'm having the same problem, except there's just a little bit of the text visible - not enough to read, just sort of a 'ghost' of text. It's very strange, and frustrating. Any ideas?

    @davidboulder said: I haven't read all of the posts, so maybe someone has suggested this. Have you tried (on a copy of the file) make texture unique, and then purge the model. This will make things a lot smaller. However, I think this would have to be one texture at a time, but I suppose you could write a script for that. tried it (and tons of other things ) ... doesn't work valkama, i'm still puzzled but glad you found a work around.. if i import via the method you described, i can still do 3ds exports no problem

    I love to draw technical stuff; airplanes, boats, houses, etc. But I am more into the details of the internal fabrication, than just a simple outer view. I have gone though several versions of ACAD 2D and then into ACAD 2 1/2D (they call it 3D, but it isn't), and was totally baffled by the so-called 3D interface. Never got a good render of anything, especially on my big cargo airplane concept, and it took forever to get anything right. Books and tutorials were no help either. I tried TruSpace, also a dud in the interface area. And a few others that lasted maybe 10 minutes on my PC. I subscribe to ZD-Net and 2 years ago they had a brief ad for SU. It looked interesting so I loaded it and tried it, without any tutorials to start me off. In less than 2 hours just playing with it, I accomplished more than I could with ACAD in 2 weeks. By the end of day I had a decent 3D view of my big airplane, for the first time. I now have over 300mb in 15 files of that airplane as I design the internals; landing gear, fuel system, passenger cabin, cargo deck, cargo handling components, etc. All fit back to the master drawing, and each drawing is details on some set of internal components of the airplane. Yeah, I know SU is a sketching tool, but with some tradeoffs I use it more like a 3D CAD. Plus there are dozens of drawings of other stuff. One of the latest was a rendering of my main bathroom reno, which worked wonders in explaining to my contractor what I wanted, and to the cabinet maker. Then I had to revamp our laundry area, as the new front load washer and drier would not fit in the space where the 28 year old top loads went. I carefully measured the space, and played with 7 options to place the W&D and move the laundry tub and shelving. I showed the "boss" the options and she said "that one". That one also showed an interference of 1 inch with the furnace relay box mounted on the side, so I had to move it to the inside, well before delivery. Then I completed the plumbing, electrical and shelving layers and from that made my hardware shopping list. I attach the SU file of that, and a photo of the laundry area, with some minor shelf changes requested by the boss and a view from the SU model at the same angle. Next is the kitchen. With SU I can quickly depict many ideas and alternatives, for the boss's approval, then flesh out the final choice for the contractor and cabinet maker, rather than trying to repeatedly explain what is wanted, with restrictions and problems/suggestions to work around. All you need to start is a very careful measurement of the area to make the basic layout, with at least one layer to show the existing for comparison. Taking photos of the existing helps a lot. Then get measurements of the various cabinetry and appliances you will need, and make simple outline groups/comps that you can place or move about. Make a layer or 2 for each alternative so you can quickly compare one to another. Then all you need to do is pan and zoom and display/hide layers to describe them. When the final layout is selected, add the plumbing and electrical components (on separate layers) for a real virtual fit and fiddle before anything starts up. Even paint schemes can be placed on layers to play with. Try all that in ACAD. SU-6 file SU drawing of laundry area revamp with various layout options and final layout with details.

    yea - if you can set north angle for illustrational purposes, you should be able to set the timezone. Of the two - timezone doesn't affect the model location.

    I'm starting to comprehend what you're getting at and I'm remembering why I gave up using outliner for scene management. I do recall that what gets hidden in there over-rides the scenes layers settings. That is also why I never select an object and hide it using the hide and unhide options. I only hide things using layer management. I am not sure how it would work, but it would be ideal if there was a better link between all of this.
