    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?

    @hfm said: A good thing to remember is that autosave will not work correctly when working from a usb. At least it didn't work for me I bet that's what happen to me because I have been taken my model home and sometimes I open it from the usb drive and forget to save it to my hard disk. thanks, mistery solved.

    Hi find the folder where the software is installed. Assuming it's Windows, it should be here: C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Resources\en-US. and under Mac OSX (AWA Windows) the QR card is found under the Help menu. Cheers, Diego -

    Actually this is one of the SU things I really hate on OS X. Even when the previews are displayed, they are ugly and too small. What's with this funny little curled piece of paper with a pin in it anyway? SU files don't match the default OS X format for either documents with or without a preview. The non-preview kind of matches, but is a poor, crude substitute. Image files have thumbnails, so why can't SU files have thumbnails without this curled piece of paper thing? Definitely a 'could do a lot better' for V7 IMO.

    @c.s.cameron said: SketchUp now seems to be running 100% with wine in Umbuntu Linux. Windows is looking like a thing of the past. Is there any discussion on this subject in the forums? Search did not give any results Hi Cork. I remember you from the old SketchUp forum. Yes, big thread here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=9687 I just changed the title from Rubies and SketchUp on Linux to SketchUp and Rubies on Linux...perhaps that will help with future searches. One of my tasks for tomorrow is tracking down some issues with the 64-bit version of Ubuntu and SketchUp. By the way, if you have different registry settings or suggestions for SU-on-Linux, please do add them to that thread. Google (I've been led to believe) now directs people wanting help there, since they will not themselves support SU on the platform.

    Juju just send me a message with a link to the drivers I refered to ealrier: @unknownuser said: The drivers I was referring to are available from OmegaDrivers, it seems as though they have drivers for both ATi and nVidia these days. I remember when I had my Radeon ATi 9800 Pro 128MB (it was a few years ago) these drivers helped to speed things up, I can't think that things have changed much in assessment. How much they will help with SU, I don't know. However the drivers were always well optimised and stable. Hope this helps! perhaps these can be of use for you...

    What I wouldn't call a bug but a "featuer" I don't like is that when you explode something whose geometry on a certain particular layer, it will move that geometry to the layer active during exploding. This may cause things disappear when you turn the visibility of certain layers off (where now there is your geometry that has never been there).

    Another interesting section animation I did showed 2nd floor of my house in perspective. Then I started moving the camera down and at the same rate moved the section plane down (from scene to scene). The end result looks like the section plane is stationary and someone is pushing the model up into the section plane where it dissolves. Ends up being pretty cool effect.

    These should help (from SU5...I don't know if you get the same warnings in SU6). This drove me NUTS when I first started! But the logic is sound: SU is saving you from accidentally drawing coplaner faces...makes you do some grouping on purpose. (There's another little bit of nightmare if you group an edge adjoining 2 faces with one of the faces, then put the group on a hidden layer...you can't draw a second visible edge over the hidden one: you'll have to move the group so SU draws it for you :`) [image: JnBE_Image1.jpg] [image: UjBx_Image2.jpg] [image: jcBQ_Image3.jpg] [image: PP6G_Image4.jpg] [image: KP4Q_Image5.jpg]
