    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?

    Thanks Juju. Now I know it is a bug too. I used Quicktime Pro and erased the frames in quetion. In fact, my last animation had so many "flashes" that I quit SU, restarted my machine while tossing all chaches and exported it anew. Now I was only left with the flahes at the exact exact transition point which where then easy to erase w/out too much damage to the animation. Truth to be told, I keep pondering if I should put money into my SketchUp skills with all the drawbacks, known bugs and limitations. Maybe I rather pay for tutoring in an established 3D programm like C4D or something. I still can construct in SU but do animations and rendering in C4D. Any suggestions anybody? Thanks Wolf

    OK, I've now got the Subdevide-Smooth tools. It will take me a little while to learn the moves, but this is real progress. Once I get closer to a final model for Stonehenge, I'll start a new thread to let you know how it's going. Thanks to you all for your help. Solo, Isn't it the middle of the night in Dallas? Tom

    @unknownuser said: When I select File>Export>2D Drawing and select the DWG file type, the DWG file origin is placed at the center point of my current view in SU. There's the problem then - I exported it in parallell projection, and it is, as shown earlier a 2D shape. Well, well. I'll go over to the CNC-guys and program the router directly instead, at least for now. Next time I'll guess I'll better come up with a sollution Thanks everyone, for your input and everything! // Olle

    Kriscidious's tutorials are good; and ultimately you will need some very good model organization: Make your floor plan a component. What you include in that component depends on the flexibility you want/need. You can Copy that floor plan component off to the side and edit it, after your edits are finished, erase it, your plan in the house will be changed as long as you didn't select "make unique". there are other ways too but this technique is consistent for me.

    If you are not familiar with ruby scripting, don't bother with the ruby console (actually it's under the Window menu). It is used for entering special scripts there but who does not know what to enter, should practically leave it alone... There are "ready to use" ruby scripts (plugins) made by scripters and they add fantastic extra abilities to SU. Normally they are just plain text files with an *.rb extension which you need to download into the Plugins folder of your SU application. They appear in various menu items (although many of them are only in the "Plugins menu". Visit or Ruby Forum somewhere at the bottom-ish of the Board Index to see a bunch of them.

    hi sweetluge, did you have switched off the floor layer? if yes, I thinkt your line already exists, it is just made invisible. now you are trying to draw another line in the same place (SketchUp doesnt understand that, because it knows there already is a line). like the others said: the only way is to build groups/components - which you should use in any case in order to keep a model organised and structured

    Hello Susan Well, it is almost closing time here too. Means it´s prolly deep in the middle of the night at your place. Thanks for the tip with attachment. I guess I was just too warped around work to see the tree in the woods. I´ll attach the data, then. Hmmm. Too big to attach. I´ll provide a new working link then. http://www.notneededanymore.com/emptypromise Anybody else got a guess or a tip? I´d hate having to start over again. Wolf

    Incorrect Units when Exporting Slices

    Yes I have the same in all DWG exports: The units get exported right ( 1 mm in SU = 1 unit in the DWG file) BUT the scale flags in the DWG file all have Imperial values (Measurement, for instance, is set to 0), so if you have your AutoCad set up to recognize the scale values (as per default), everything gets imported 25.4 times too big. I already posted a bug report about this some weeks ago. Anssi
