    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?

    @mambo.harts.u said: @tig said: If you import a SKP as a massing element in Revit you can then go through and change walls to walls, floors to floors and curtain-walls etc - it does work... Really? the last time I tried, i did imported a massing element which is a cube with round edges... It's there but I can't edit it. as if it was "grouped" in sketchup terms. Do you know what to do? I'm using revit 2010 and sketchup pro 6. Thanks! Yes, it was part of the introduction course I did for Revit. I don't rememeber exactly what you did though. But I'm sure it'd in the Help files.

    @joe wood said: Oh! is that it, my viewer is displaying the segments, but the CNC machine won't?! I'm using DWG TrueViewer 2010 as my viewer. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=6703438&siteID=123112 right on, I'll send that new dxf to my cnc guy and see what he says! Looks like you've saved me from a lot of sanding, all my joints thank you I also looked at the DXF with DWGTrueview201o and it does 'look' steppy BUT if you do a plot preview it's a pretty smooth Arc as far as your screen resolution will allow - that's how it should arrive at the CNC... Hopefully the CNC will take the DXF's Arcs as ice smooth Arcs - but I can't promise for someone else's bits of kit !

    Chris, Thank you for a detailed solution and explanation of the way Sketchup perceives scenes. I tried toggling the hidden attributes but the model would keep on reverting to earlier versions. I was able to solve the problem by Select All > Make Component > Copy of my 'healthy' frame and opening a new file and pasting there. The scenes did not copy into the new file, and starting with a blank Scene list I was able to make the animation. Thank you for your help, it led me to some realizations about Sketchup!

    I've added an example of using EEbyRails to make a simple OR complex ramp on a curve - see here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=206584#p206584 All you need is a curve for the cross-section [profile] and curves for the two side rails - rotated in 3D so that the landing is as you want [probably level?]...

    I have a shortcut key assigned to make group and component from selection - even if one item [links to Edit Menu item not CM] - G=Group and B=Block[Component] - the 'standard' of G=Component is just illogical!!!. A key is quicker than the context-menu anyway...

    Maybe your model is very large, or located far away from the origin.

    Hello remus Thank you for your reply. I already have Layer Manager v6 installed, but there is no functionality for this feature. I am still searching. The workaround is to open an additional SU window and a coy of the file in question, rename a suitable layer to make a replica copy of, and copy and paste an object on that layer into the target file in the other current SU window. This is surely more time consuming, hence the request. Kind Regards Syd

    Copy with Move+Ctrl has functions above the Edit>Copy etc You can Copy with a base point by picking a start using inferencing and then typing in an offset, using axis locking (shift) etc etc. You can also multi-copy as an array using NNx or NN/ after making the first copy to set the number made after/between. Similarly Rotate+Ctrl make copies about a centre and again NNx or NN/ sets the number of copies after/between

    @anssi said: I quite liked the original @Last forum with no eye candy at all. We all did - and I remember very well all the discussions we had, when Google decided to move to Google Groups... (which nolonger seem to exist in the form it had when they moved all the content...) The @Last forum was using the commercial vBulletin forum software, while the SCF is using the free Open Source phpBB forum solution...
