    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!

    Yeah, the method I shows totally falls apart when you have different things that you want to update in each scene. You have to do that manually for sure. what I hate the worst is when I need to change layers on and off over lots of scenes That makes me cry. Chris

    Gene, You can always save your SketchUp model as a version 6 skp while in SU 7 In order to be compatible with SU7 skps, the update would most likely come from Chief Architect and not from Google. CMD

    I use my specification numbering system as a guide. My library is next to me, and I can look up and see the categories. 08 Windows > 01 component name, or 01 sub categories as necessary.

    What a weird request. Tell us more. What will the building be used for? Is it for a client? Will it be built or are you just doing a concept? Do you have a picture of a particular ladybird (ladybug?)? I did a quick tut on creating a ladybug shape that might help. [image: o8mW_LadyBugShape.jpg] LadyBugShape.skp

    well I tried their .3ds export with 2 simple cubes (components). The plug-in complained that it can't be exported because they're components and I'd explode them before. I uninstalled it instead (which imho is a much more productive idea)

    Matt Interesting that you brought this up, because it has just started to happen to me, and it is only in SketchUp that it seems to want to save to this old file. First place I look though when I can't find the file icon.

    Sounds like a classic case of 'you get what you pay for.' A firm in india with no client contact is never going to be able to produce a brilliant site for the client, as they simply dont know exactly what the client wants. But then if all you want is a clean generic site its probably quite a good option.

    Brodie, your "another thought" is exactly how I do it whenever I'm working with a contoured site model: it works slick if you can get all the draped lines to cut the planes (why I normally just do it the old way before sandbox)...just some hidding of the "stretch-marks" created in the alt-move process.

    another way (posted by susan sorger) is to create a template with a large number of disabled layers. thus when you create new geometry or dimensions/text just put it in one of the disabled layers, enable it and create a new scene. it will show only in the new scene.

    No,it hasn't changed. A component can only have one gluing/cutting plane at a time (since the axis szstem defines it and there can only be one axis system at a time). There are workarounds but not an ultimate solution.

    Good assessment. I may have a bug to add but nothing without a work around.

    I thought is had something to do with WedDialogs, but I can't remember the specifics. Was it the Instructor window?

    That looks great. There a bunch of .vob waterfalls that came with Vue on the extra content CD as well. I didn't realize that up until now. It's amazing how I seem to find something new everytime I play with Vue.

    Yes, moire is a real world phenomenon as well. It has something to do with interfering patterns (like offset grids.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moire
