    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!

    Edson, try adjusting the view slightly (orbit, pan, zoom), also the field of view...and if you can stand the inaccuracy: the scale of the texture. A little bit of play can change the effect quite a bit. I have noticed also that sometimes it shows in the export, as you would expect, but sometimes it doesn't...?

    Walter, I do not posses a magic script (ruby).....But I can offer a Speed Square. Yeah I know.....not what your after.....but in the mean time give it a try. And if you have never used one before, it's pretty straight forward(see attached). Using the speed square component,align the pivot pt and rotate until vertical or horizontal.(maybe a bit oversimplifying... I know). Oh, and you mention hip roofs, if working with a model just use the cross section tool & the speed square as above. :~) Best, Charlie [image: UT9m_SPEEDSQUARE-APPLIED.jpg] SPEEDSQUARE APPLIED.zip

    You kidding me? Had to put up my one and only (third-hand) C40 as collateral for my shed! Just keep hoping carbon fiber and Campagnolo lasts forever. Being married, I end up putting more miles on the Trek tandem than on the solo. But it's all fun. Todd

    I think you just want to change .zip to .skm But I have never done this before so give that a try. Or just download the entire material bonus pack. There are some goodies in there.

    @wo3dan said: Tim, I don’t get it. You mean that when you have selected something it is not possible to click next to the group- or component- names in the outliner to deselect, i.e. in white space. That would be an immense MacDrawBack. In Windows we can. And what would be the purpose of an empty group…… I still don’t get it. Clicking on a special empty group in the outliner to unselect is like asking for that white space. A group of any size that has nothing visible (and I don’t mean by hiding entities) is easy but you would still select it by clicking on it, whether in the model or in the outliner. Dylan’s suggestion for another mouse sounds like a good idea. Wo3Dan Wo3Dan -- I can see you've never used the Mac outliner! OK, we can stretch it vertically, but often, my list of groups fills the entire window. No white space. Clicking in the white space to the side of a group selects that group. If we could simply click on the top-level model name to deselect everything (like you can in Windows)...I think it was CraigD who agreed this should be implemented, but that was over a year ago... There are a LOT of problems with the Mac Outliner...but that's for another place... Oh, and thanks for the tip, Johnny!

    Obviously the file itself needs some bytes (save an emty one to see how much) and additionally, the info about where, what size, how rotated etc. of the individual instances are also takes up some space. Obviously, with more complex components, the "profit" is bigger.

    I usually make my parking lines 100mm wide by say 5500mm long and construct one of them using the rectangle tool.... I then fill the rectangle with White..... then I copy the White filled recatangle to create each of the carparking spaces and then soften (hide) the black lines. You are then left with a 100mm wide white line with no black line borders. Seems to work well but it can be tedious if you have a very large carpark. Cheers, Gareth

    Thanks Ron I have had a look at it. It looks complicated and I am not sure I fully understand it, but I've saved it and will study it. Thanks again. Paul
