    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!

    With SU 6 there were some glitches with the export (see some details below) so first of all I'd suggest to upgrade to SU 7 (even if you only start with the free version). Otherwise make sure that the image extensions are all lower case (jpg instead of JPG) as well as there are no special characters (maybe even spaces) in the image names.

    @gaieus said: @remus said: i think google do it on their end, so you just have to wait. Yes, they do. It takes a while to process every submitted model so from a couple of hours to a day or so... Don't worry, it will be there. Thanks for the quick replies. This is an AWESOME resource!

    Kev There is always the tried and tested Photoshop method, extract an above view of only the road, take into PS and paint your road complete with lines and all then save as a texture and apply to road. [image: road1i.jpg] [image: road2a.jpg] [image: road3n.jpg] [image: road4h.jpg]

    No problem at all with several searches for me. Just guessing, but try closing down all your browser windows and then trying again. If that fails, try restarting your computer. Do you have a different browser installed? If so, try that.

    Hi Mike, There is a plugin which would allow you to assign a (web) URL to any entity in SU - say a building that's turned into a group and such. You need to right click though and select the URL item in the context menu and then it will open a "normal" browser window, not a neat, chromeless one within SU. (see url_link.rb here) There were requests for this during development of SU 7 though because (theoretically) dynamic components could do this but AFAIK Google finally didn't include this feature for security reasons. I see you have SU 6 anyway so you couldn't go anywhere with DC's as it needs SU 7. I'm pretty sure however that with some modification of the URL plugin, it could be made nicer in SU because webdialogs have been implemented since that script was written (before SU 6). OR you do the whole presentation in Google Earth and add as much rich html content on click as you want.

    Ditto for keeping XP. I run SU on Ubuntu and it just has too many glitches plus the plugin issues Coen mentions. Just not worth it, I'd stick with Blender for Linux.

    I have not used it or seen it in action, but TBD has a script called time.rb that does this. http://www.smustard.com/script/TimeTrack Check it out, its only $5.00 USD Chris

    @anglaret said: I suppose you are right, but a component does not brake an area betwen 2 rooms (to change floors coverings for example) You could leave a line to separate the rooms. That's how I would do it.

    Importing DWG file...

    @gaieus said: At least we only have "simple" rain here. So much about global warming. No, Gaieus Here in the north it goes: Higher temperatures in the Arctic> more evaporation, more winds> more rain As to importing DWG files, a valid file should import OK, but SU ignores many object types, especially those created by AEC applications like AutoCad Architecture. Those should be "Exported to AutoCad" prior to sending you the file. Cleaning the file of unnecessary geometry makes it import faster, but should otherwise not be necessary. There seems to be some limit to file size, though, I have read somewhere that at somewhere bigger than 10 Mb the importer begins to choke. Note too that the new AutoCad 2010 version that came out this spring has a new file format that is not yet readable by SU. So if the person who is sending you files uses that, they should save the file in the 2007 format or older. An intermittent problem with the same file might indicate some other problem, like a problem with a removable disk/memory stick or a network glitch, if the file resides on a server. Anssi

    Have look at Walkabout 3D or Simmetry 3D. They both have full working trial versions.

    ...so to add to Jim's post, something must have gone wrong. You should definitelybe able to open a version 6 file in SU 7. In fact, we do that all the time here with files uploaded by members still using SU 6 (or even 5).
