    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?

    Hi folks. Personnaly, I would simply: 1 - Make the component from one of the group. 2 - Copy it, using the groups to help in positionning, rotating, etc. 3 - Delete the groups. Just ideas.

    A very marginally quicker modification of Boo's method is to just use a selection window around the face (including the outer edge) and then de-select the outer edge by double shift clicking one of the outer connected faces.

    sometimes that has something to do with layers. did you get a whole bunch of layers, when you imported? if yes, some of them may be hidden. the easiest way to get your model a bit more clearly arranged is to select them all (except layer0) and delete them. SketchUp will ask you, if you want to move the contents to the default layer (layer0). Confirm. perhaps that was the only problem...

    That was the culprit! I always export large and resample down because I don't like the SU AA, but I'd never turned it off.

    Drag and drop is the way to go. However, SU doesn't like being partly minimised in order to do that...it tends to send the toolbars all over the place. If you want to avoid that happening, simply import the image file...but not as a texture; import it as an image then explode it. Whenever you choose an image format for import you get a set of radio buttons on the right of the dialog box which enable you to choose the manner of import. In fact I hardly ever import an image as a texture, even when that is how I intend to use it.

    I just tried it with a still locked terrain - it worked perfectly fine. but Gaieus is right. try it with an unlocked one. perhaps that works.

    Stuart, you cant do everything with ruby. As good as ruby is, id much rather have the SU team working on getting a really good base program than have them working on things that can be achieved with ruby.

    Open the old SU file with the camera position you want / need, save the model under a different file name (so as to not mess up the old one you're keeping for record), save the camera position as a scene, delete unwanted scenes. Use PageExIm available from Smustard to export the scene. Open updated SU model, use PageExIm to import the scene into your new model. That should do the trick, make sure you don't have conflicting scene names.

    @daniel said: I usually model everything in the default layer 0, but always put cars, people, and trees in their own layers so they can be turned off while modeling other things. ditto

    Thanks for the responses. I suggested to my client that she investigate the equipment before the presentation. I gave her jpegs 300dpi 10" (inches) wide. Glenn

    there is a very good script written by didier bur (Layer Manager) that can save layer states, that is, different groups of scenes that you can invoke at will. it does much more that that, of course. it is really worth a look. and it comes with a great user guide.

    Apologies the for the delay in the response. Think you may be right Dave. There were a few splines within the drawing that contained varying amount of segments. It appears that those that had many short segments were the ones that did not show within the styles. On running the 'weld' script on the splines to make them one polyline in SU, they appear in the style, thanks Dave!
