    @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!

    that is what I thought I did, I even saved the file, but for some reason, unknown to me, the scene gets corrupted, updated, modified, who knows what, it just is not what I know I had saved, and still am very uncertain as what I can do to in fact have a "saved scene". thanks for the insights and experienced perspectives. aloha red

    Doesn't SU understand them all? face.material = 255 # This is RGB integer here Blue face.material = 16711680 # This is RGB integer here Red face.material = 0xff # This is hex Blue face.material = "red" # Red by name face.material = "#ff0000" # This shows it as a 32 Bit Hex RED face.material = "#0000ff" # This shows it as a 32 Bit Hex BLUE Edit: Corrected color-names since the low Byte is Blue

    Thanks for the help with the workflow, guys. I'd heard of Sandbox but never found it. I searched the Forum and saw that it needs to be enabled through Preferences/Extensions, which I just did. I had assumed that when I was drawing on a flat surface the tools would select the surface, and was not orbiting to confirm. I'm having other problems that this doesn't seem to cover. I'll post another thread with the issues I'm having closing rectangular faces. Best, JIm

    hmmm... I dunno about the sandbox tools, it's very limited IMO. If I was undertaking your project I'd use apps like Terragen, Vue or z-brush to sculpt the terrain accordingly. Alternatively if accuraccy is not an issue I'd use a contour map and use the sandbox 'from contour' option, then use SDS to smooth it (after cleaning as sandbox leaves a lot of additional geometry that needs trimming)

    as far as i know revit does not read sketchup textures or skm. files but you can add textures to revit using jpg. png. and bmp. You simply go to your materials and under the render appearance tab load a new image file into the program.

    Using animation for batch export is a useful trick. Notice that often (always?) you end up with a duplicate of the last image. Also, there is a bit of a technical (not really technical, more like bery unlikely you'll come across it) bug in the way shadows update from scene to scene. If you have geometry that hides and shows from one scene to the next and your scenes don't have shadow information turned on, but you have shadows themselves turned on, then the shadows won't update correctly. If you think you might be in that category, I can explain better and I have a little model that shows how it works (or rather, how to see the bug in action). But batch export is great and a huge timesaver! Oh and also, you can set your fps and time per scene to whatever is easiest for your brain. So the example given above is great. I tend to set 1 second per scene and then 1fps. Chris

    @gaieus said: V-ray wouldn't be much friendlier that is true! one of the easiest render engines you can use is Indigo. it is an unbiased render engine, meaning that it simulates light exactly as it is in real life. generates beautyful results and is extremely easy to use. but it will take many hours to clear up, depending on the amount of reflection in your scene (that is the price you pay for unbiased...)
