    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?

    Rereading your OP. If you had an image of the long side with the grooves in it, you could use that as a texture on the one face or a simple extruded box. Then mitering it would be trivial with either a drawn diagonal and Push/Pull or just moving an edge. If you don't need the internal details at all, don't model it as a hollow shape.

    @tig said: If it's only a few instances, then there's a simple manual fix... Use a Style showing end-points - so you can see them! Use the Move tool with nothing preselected. Pick the end of the split line and move it to the end of its cousin. You can move a vertex if nothing else is selected - otherwise the Move tool assumes you want to move the selected objects ! You now have one line where there were two... Obviously if there are lots of split lines a script is more efficient... Thank you, TIG.

    @abcgsketch said: Hi, I bought Fredo's plugin bundle and I need an invoice of the purchase. I can't find any information how to get an invoice. Anybody has a hint? Thanks Generally speaking, I'm in the process of switching to Blender because Sketchup has been steadily getting worse with each new release since 2018. However, I must admit that I am missing SU's simple workflow for precision design since no plugin for billing process has yet made switching between the two options possible.

    @inpro said: exporting DWGs from layout is everything but precise. They don't need to be imprecise. I'd guess it's an incorrect setup that could be fixed. It would be interesting to see a LayOut file that gives you this imprecise export. @inpro said: Thank you for reminding me, I did update my profile: SKP 2022, win7. Thanks for updating.

    There's a few options... Transmutr - https://lindale.io/transmutr Skimp - https://skimp4sketchup.com/ Fluid Importer - https://www.fluidinteractive.com/products/sketchup-extensions/fluidimporter/ Universal Importer - https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2275-universal_importer ...the best, that's another discussion. Fluid is fast though. All can be trialed and the last is free but donating to author is good karma

    [image: Q3U7_Centralpointdetermination-1.jpg][image: pNb1_Centralpointdetermination-2.jpg]Dear David, Thousand apologies, my sloppiness and Sketchup's inferences caused the inaccuracies of my initial central point's graphical determination (see corrected drawing). In a second attachment, the superposition of the original photograph (magenta edge), the yellowish cropped image), the greenish reconstructed uncropped photo show the usefulness of the method. Since I am dealing with 1900 photos, LIDAR and other techniques aren't really helpful here... Many thanks for diving in after so many years!

    @dave r said: I didn't remember so I had to download it again. I just called Joint Push/Pull, made sure it was set to thicken, clicked and released on the surface, moved the cursor, let go of the mouse, typed the thickness, pressed Enter. Click on the picture. [attachment=1:3hfjd8zx]<!-- ia1 -->JPP.gif<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:3hfjd8zx] Yeah, that's kinda what I did. But it was easier to just pull from the bottom. Thanks for your help. [image: EoWw_SS.jpg]

    @cstewart said: @dave r said: What extension exactly? What exact version of SketchUp 8? Version 8.0.15158. So with that version you'll need to do as TIG indicated and download the .rbz file, change the extension to .zip, extract the contents maintaining the file structure and then add that into the Plugins folder. Then quit and restart SketchUp. It's too bad you didn't update to the latest version when you had the chance. Installing extensions was made much easier as TIG described. Please complete your forum profile with SketchUp version, operating system, etc. That information helps us help you.

    @correy said: I'm assuming tags are the new layers? Yes. Layers are now called Tags. As with Layers, tags are applied to the groups/components in the model. @correy said: I was just trying to show a two scene animation of a tenon entering a mortise. Same as a drawer in and out. Will give it a go, mahalo. Good deal.

    It also sounds like you've assigned tags to geometry (edges and faces) which is not good practice. Only objects (components, groups, labels, and dimensions) should get tags. Edges and faces should be created AND remain untagged.

    Uncheck Merge Coplanar for the DAE import... [image: H9piLYC.png] Or use Thomthoms Quad Face Tools OBJ importer which support Blender quads and UVs. A better solution is Fluids Importer which is not only faster but also respects UVs and can do poly-reduction too.
