    @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!

    When V-Ray 2 comes out with Proxy objects this will be very nice. Though, without proxy rendering this would be too much for a scene unless the scene is only a couple of them shrubberies. I really can't wait for VfSU2 so I can use models like that. It looks really good!

    Thank you, I found them. I did take the steps to select the texture in the tool pallette then try to edit it. They still weren't there. I then, uh um, extended the top half of the palette and found them there. Sometimes it so simple, yet so far away. I figured all options in that section would have been displayed. They have been before. They just, just disappeared. Thank you for your advice. Z

    Ah, the old SU6 bonus packs are available. I needed some of the very low poly cars for some quick and dirty sketching.

    When youve got the brush out you can replace every instance of a texture in your model by holding shift when you paint a surface. Im not entirely sure how it would work with textures within a component, though, so you'd have to do a little playing around.

    It is a good idea, and will be put to use. Something like the following is how it might fit into what I have already: Animation.add('fog', start_value, end_value, duration (frames or seconds), easing_function) Animation.add (...) Animation.play

    @tig said: ...If you redraw one edge that's next to the rogue edge that extends into the face you will make a face. If you redraw one edge that's NOT next to the rogue edge that extends into the face you will NOT make a face. Yes, I remember these "rules" (now). Always good to remember.

    @unknownuser said: You could setup different scenes that have the axis set differently in each scene. If you uncheck all the options for each scene but the model axis, your scene buttons will do nothing except change the model axis. Interesting use of scenes - nota benissima

    @gaieus said: If you just type the number (as Remus suggests), it will set the degree. You can also give the value in focal length if you type mm(millimetre) after the number. If you set the focal length in mm you will afterwards still set the focal length in mm. Doesn't seem to revert back. No in my experience anyway...

    Thank you Remus and Thomthom, I copied the model and pasted it in another new file in SU6. But this has not solved the problem. This is happening only with this particular file. Anyway, I shall manage with SU6 for this file. Because of my slow internet connection I am unable to upload the file. With best regards PRSS

    Well I figured it out by myself...theres a little options button in the export dialog box that I never saw before. Now that I have found that I can now really start using sketchup for my maps and scene backdrops (for D&D games).

    I've had no compatibility problems with Windows7 with the 3D applications I've tried. Sketchup, Rhino, Vue, 3DMax, Bonzai ... there's been some more trials I've tried, but I can't remember right now. Basically - I think that if it worked on Vista it works on W7. The only thing that you need to pay special attention to is applications that require drivers. But usually Vista drivers will work.
