    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    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!

    This is a known issue that we are planning on fixing in the next maintenance release. The issue will occur when adding text and dimensions at true intersections. The workarounds: Option 1) Draw two intersecting lines at the point of intersection, add the text and then delete the lines. Option 2) You can use LayOut's new dimensioning tool to create the needed dimensions. You should not get the odd behavior while in LayOut. Cheers, CMD

    Remus, Ruby line you graciously wrote did not seem to work. Though I did say I am Ruby challenged, I pasted the code in the ruby console and hit enter, it appears as I believe it should without errors. Though I notice no change in the model scene transitions. It's ok, I'll just work it out with an AVI, or if with the client just use SU V6. EDIT: I can of course just use the shadow slider & or instruct the client to do the same. Thanks so much, Best, C

    Default material for a component

    @gaieus said: When you save the component only from the model, right? Like right click > Save as...? True - I can see the same (never thought of this so far) but I think this is how it should work. By saving a component, you only save the component definition into a new file, i.e. what "defines" the component (everything but only that is inside). Imagine you have a bunch of instances of the same component - some are painted this or that way (from outside), some are scaled or flipped - which one would you "save as..." if you, for instance, do it from the component browser (where there is only one definition of them)? All in all, whatever we do with a component "from outside", is only part of the model it is used but not part of the component itself. I was afraid of this! I'm building furniture from melamine faced boards with banded edges and I wanted to make basic panels with default face material and default banding material which I can chance according to the progect. But CutList plugin gives a panel material based on the "from outside" material of the component. So I gonna deal with layers again.

    Yeah, they don't have a centimetre template to begin with so I am already used to start with this every time I encounter a new SU version (BTW have you seen the new SU version? )

    Yup - practically you can use a (single) license on any number of computers - just of course, not simultaneously. Network licenses are indeed "tricky" from this point of view (but I understand you use a single license anyway)

    I cannot say for sure, but traditionally, colons and semicolons are not "legal" characters to use in file names. Anssi

    I found a way - just open the component for editing and then draw the guides inside that component, close it and then paste

    The thing is the format, while relatively new, is used by some of the biggest 3d users in the world. I'm not talking about 3d visualization as is common here. I'm talking about Boeing, Siemens, Intel and the likes for sharing their huge amounts of 3d data.
