    Make it a component and save it to a component collection, then select and place it from the component panel whenever you need it.

    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?

    Yeah, as soon as I finished posting those pictures I remembered why it was doing that and I also went and got Subdivide and Smooth and figured the whole thing out...for now. The next big hurdle will be the body of the truck. Tons of detail and many different angles. Thanks for the help everyone. It is appreciated. Talk to you all soon.

    Thank you for the reply. Although the simple test does not recreate the situation. In simple situation it works (that's why I used this method to extract points of interest positions from a model). In any case, I gave up on this approach not just due to technical aspects, but as conceptually not appropriated in my case.

    You should try to update your graphic card drivers if you can.

    I've actually exploded circles many times just because I wanted non-smoothed edges. This will be handy. Suppose it's one for the "doh" thread.

    GOOD NEWS! I checked the next evolution of the Xubuntu distro and found it incorporated the newest Intel drivers for my integrated 945 video chipset. So, I did an online update of my installed Xubuntu 8.10 to Jaunty Jackelope 9.04 Alpha 6 and ... The weird change of color issues are gone! The SU7 rendering screen shows normal colors, shadows and for all appearances is working normally! I still have to disable DRI in the xorg.conf file but again, I don't use any apps that need DRI anyway... The rest of the applications I have installed also seem to work as well... So, while I'm still going through the process of loading plugins (all of them that I've installed so far are working properly), I think the SU, Kerkythea and Xubuntu combo will be a success. Cheers!

    Generally the big wite cursor issue is a graphics issue. Try changing the setting within SU to turn off hardware acceleration or something like that. You might also update your drivers if Mac's let you do that kind of stuff.

    Coulter already found it, but I thought I'd put a link here for anyone else interested. I have a pretty basic plugin found here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17507 which does this. It scales either uniformly or randomly within a specified min/max tolarnce. And the user specifies if the scale should happen from the center of the component, the compnent axis or the world [0,0,0] center. I'm also working on a "component base" option which will be the center of the bottom of the component (for people who do not accurately set the axis of their compnents). Chris

    You don't want refractions. That only works for glass and transparent materials. As for reflections, there isn't a set rule for this . It all depends on the material you want to simulate. Got any specific example? Screenshots? In general, all materials got some kind of reflection, often it's a very glossy type. Adding a very glossy reflection can some times be enough to make it pop it little as it picks up a little bit more of the surrounding lights.

    @teezer said: If that happens again, turn on hidden geometry and the edges should show up... Not necessarily... Some times things can get messed up. I experienced this yesterday when I tried to make a plugin which converted all components and nested components to groups. A coding bug caused 'ghosted' geometry to appear. (Sang) without any lines and without any means of selecting it. When I tried to clear the scene by making a new model SU crashed on me. So when using plugins or importing other formats, basically when stuff is being generated, there is a possibility things get really messed up.

    well all i really figured out is that faces, groups, and components all can be textured, but i would still like to be able to have a projected texture in a group or component!
