    @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!

    I suggest drawing the road outline, push/pulling it, placing it in the desired position on the terrain, and intersecting. delete the faces and you have a road.

    thank you, kwistenbiebel. just came back from a one week trip to Amsterdam. and in many hours of brooding (quite relaxed on the sun lit cobblestone streets of the city centre) I got some ideas for dear old SketchUp. sometimes, when the limitations become painful, I start looking for something else. but I always come back in the end

    Hi Karl, I'l take a look at it. I'm not terribly optimistic about making it though. I've got a long list of rubies to make/fix already. But I'll check it out, thanks for the heads up! Chris

    I think it's the "normal" text tool. Generally you cannot export that as it's not vector (or texture) info at all. 3D Text is different as it is "real" geometry so there's no difference between it and any other geometry like a house of a plant.

    @jean lemire said: I am just curious about one thing: why does SU takes 15 seconds to load at first time and 5 seconds on subsequent loads ? This is on a PC with Windows XP-Pro. There is probably a cache memory involved but I am curious. Yes, the first time it reads it from the disk, which is really slow. Then the second time it just reads from the memory.

    Yes it's a tricky edge to deal with. To date Pilou's solution is the most clean and customizable.

    @malaise said: Thanks for the trick Pilou @ ChrisG , effectively I have to work around group to understand why not all the groups are'nt diplayed MALAISE On the face of it I cannot see any logic - e.g some components from the warehouse show some don't; similarly for those made by me and for groups. Maybe it has something to do with layers? Also the colors are quite different. Sorry not to be able to be more helpful ... Chris

    With SU 6, there were some problems with certain images inserted in Mac not showing up on PC (this was due some RGB channel and EXIF info issue) but even those didn't crash the app just the images didn't show (I think it's been fixed in SU 7). Other than that, I haven't had experiences with such behaviour either (although you never know).

    @eng.basel said: what is SU ? "SU" = "SketchUp" (just abbreviating). @eng.basel said: how i can resize by using it ? 5-8 MB uncompressed JPGE .. Like I also suggested - and you resized (a bit). You can also resize the resolution. I can imagine that these image files have some thousands of pixels side wise. Note that SU won't display better resolution than 1024 pixels (or 2048 pixels if "Use large texture" is set in preferences) anyway so any image bigger than that is useless but taxing your system.

    It wasn't the 3d warehouse dialog, but a webdialog I put together with some small functions for a specific task. One of the tasks was selecting and replacing a whole lot of instances. The dialog went away after I wrapped some of my functions in start_operation/commit_operation.

    @linea said: Andrew, if you want to photoshop-up your SU image a bit, I do a simple process for making your roof look grassy, unfortunately I can't paste the results here as my only example is a commercial image but if you are interested let me know and I'll post a quick tut. I would certainly be interested in a tutorial. I'm working on a project with greenroofs as well.

    Hey, i found the problem - whenever i search for a key word in the shortcut - it doesn't find it, when i input the location of the actual menu it doesn't see it either, but when i put the first letter of a word in the plugin it shows only one function of the plugin (rotate around blue, rotate around red, rotate around green)...it shows up when I put the word re in the search menu, but nothing else works. its a bit odd. I wonder why that is?

    Autodesk also has the free TrueView application that besides having almost all the viewing and printing functionality of full AutoCad can convert newer DWG files to older (even very old) formats. There is a link (the "DWG From Autodesk" button)to the download on the main Autodesk webpage. Anssi
