    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?

    Hello again! Indeed there were a couple of threads about this topic, I had a closer look now. And yes, my model was very big, I was doing a very large sea plane that would be as near as possible to the horizon. I've already reduced it quite a bit and the problem got quite a lot more manageable. Thank you all for the tips!

    I noticed after performing the intersection command on group 2, and deleting the section plane and half the pipe, the green element at the intersection with the vertical pipe appeared to have hidden edges. In fact, when I clicked on a surface of that object, it selected the entire green object, as if it were an object or component. I think that is why the intersecting face is not being created. When I recreate the two pipes and intersect them, I don't have that problem.

    The reason why I thought it made since was because sometimes colors are listed this way and it seems to make sense to enter info in 1 box vs 3. Photoshop has this flexibilty I just recently discovered.

    If the EULA says you cant redistribute it, i wouldnt get your hopes up for publishing it yourself. Definetly worth gettign in comtct with the SU team to see wether theyd be interested or not, as this could add some major functionality to the program. I suppose the only caveat would be if you wanted to charge or not, which would be pretty reasonable as far as im concerned! So i reckon, just talk to the SU team and see what they have to sya aobut it, im certainly gunning for you

    nothing beats podium - sorry, its true. I'm sure there are more "advanced" tools, but for people looking of a get-to-the-point easy to learn program, podium is good.

    Thanks Boofredlay. I have turned off "Enable length snapping" and set "Precision" to 0". Same results. I'm working on a small house model. I'm beginning to suspect I don't have a powerful enough computer. I'm using an optical mouse with about 3-400dpi, a 128mg video card, slightly less than 1gig RAM and a 7200rpm HDD on a 100mhz bus. AMD 1.7ghz P4. There is no room for more RAM (poor mobo design). Nor can I upgrade the cpu for the same reasons. I might be able to upgrade the vid card. I'm thinking about going with something that uses DDR. I had good results with a customer's computer after installing one for them. The HDD is brand new. (Seagate Barracuda) I have a 19" LCD monitor. In other words, it's an old computer.

    Explode them first, or convert them using the Express Tools to non-dynamic blocks before importing the file into SU. There's no way around that. To my knowledge, no other CAD or modeling program outside of AutoDesk's own products imports AutoCAD's dynamic blocks.

    Convert to Polygon ??

    A circle and a polygon are pretty much indistinguishable in 2D. Same number of sides and all connected into a single 'curve' object - if you explode either type the sides split into individual edges... However, a circle and a polygon differ if you extrude them into 3D forms - using pushpull or followme etc. A circle is a smooth curve and extrudes faces in 3D that are also smoothed - i.e. the edges between the facets are not normally visible. A polygon is not smoothed and so it extrudes faces in 3D that are separated by visible edges. However, you can hide or smooth these later if desired...

    A slightly buggy Triangulate.rb is available at Ruby Library Depot to first triangulate faces. The script messes up on a few types of faces, but it does save work. Add a one-step undo by inserting model.start_operation "Triangulate" ### one-step Undo after line 56, entities = model.entities.

    If you want the entire scene with cameras exported then use .max, if you only want the object then use .3ds.

    It's in the Component property box (which also pops up when you create a component). Certainly you need to carefully adjust the gluing plane prior to use this option otherwise it will just be the R/G plane afaik (I haven't tried now). See attached image. [image: zAGr_Gluetoany.png]
