    @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 don't know why... what I've done is before trying to reinstall the SU, reinstall the fonts. I just took them all off the folder, then installed them back again. (took a few minutes, but ok) Windows restarted, Done! Is working fine now... Thanks guys!

    Did you try to import the revised blocks manually?. When I need to update a component, I just delete it in the SU model, then import the dxf block, The blocks come into SU as components. Make sure that the coordinate system, and scale options are the same in both applications.

    @sceyefeye said: ...haven't tried this, but what about putting on an turned off layer? That works. When you import a Google Snapshot, the 2D Snapshot image and the 3D Terrain are also locked and placed on their respective layers and the terrain (by default) is hidden. The Toggle terrain button changes their visibility but you can also do it manually.

    I have to say that I am glad to learn that the sketchup devs do frequent this forum - as someone mentioned earlier this is severely lacking from the giants. The ultimate responsiveness would be the developers of Cockos Reaper (music production software). They are active on the forums and respond quite quickly in terms of developing features or at least explaining why they will be focusing on something more important. Suspect that this sort of answer would at least let Solo know when they might address this or if as suggested it is too big a task for the foreseeable future Regarding blender, ah yes.......I have downloaded and installed and uninstalled. Did manage to follow a tutorial that allowed me to turn a sphere into a heart and then do a basic render. Just that sketchup would introduce some decent animation path functionality. Took a look at Truespace (but since they no longer offer a format converter to bring in and export CAD friendly files.......) but man they have nice camera tools......

    You can use Global Material Change to apply another material to all entities with a specified material. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13192

    it was confirmed, and the guys at DD told me how to uninstall. its seems its installed in plugins/ldd so plugins/ldd/unist/unistall.exe does the trick.

    Some renderers will benefit from GPUs, but most are CPU based, among them V-Ray.

    @wo3dan said: Thomas, Couldn't you simply create your arc(s) tangent to the "parent" edges, adjust their radii and finally move to the intersection/vertex. It's just one step extra, the move operation. See attached file. Yea I could do that. I do all sorts of 'tricks' to draw the arches correct. I just hoped there might be a secret SU thing, a 'Duh!' thing which I might have missed.

    Clipping Plane Issue on Large Model

    If you keep your model far from the SU origin, you will always suffer from clipping (and this "jitter" syndrome Thom mentioned). The same even if you move your stuff closer to the origin but leave any tiny bit of geometry "out there". A solution could be (I'm just "thinking loud" now as I'm too lazy to try out) to select all in your original SU file (with the origin away in the distance) make a component of the whole model Save (this component) as... (Context menu) open the component as a "normal" SU model (note that the origin will be close; where the origin of the component was placed) do all the modelling work if you wish, "Reload" this model/component into the original file. Certainly a couple of steps to do but it shouldn't be more than a minute and you waste much more time with suffering this way.
