    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?

    Don't copy your extensions from an older installation of SketchUp unless you enjoy chasing loading errors. Some extensions require the proper installation method, some need to be updated to run in the new SketchUp version. Best to install them fresh from their sources. If you used the Sketchucation Extension Store tool to install extensions from here, install it first. Open it up and sign in. Then click on the gear icon at the top and go to Bundles. You can install the latest versions of the extensions in your bundle automatically without having to search for them all.

    @juju said: I'm curious, why would SUPro2022 ask for a Classic License when it no longer supports it? There are some special cases in which SketchUp 2022 can be opened using what looks like a classic license. They don't sell those licenses of course but they can generate them for outside parties such as beta testers.

    You might try sending him a private message here in the forum. According to his profile he last signed in to Sketchucation in February so it seems he's around.

    a variation - once you have the "wires" laid out, ctrl-a to select all lines - examine the length in your entity info, then create a component with the name like "elec_wire_256" for 256 inches (or whatever your base measure is. round up then when you run the report the wire components are listed in a grouping and the various lengths. i also include wire type/size such as "bx12-3" or "nm14-2", etc as part of the name... so "elec_wire_" + "bx12-3_" + "256" then i can readily parse it into a spreadsheet by splitting on "_" underscore.

    @joe wood said: Is yours set at 10? I had to take mine down to 1.5". I guess it is but that's a default from the original template. Never changed it because I don't need to use text and dimensions in SketchUp.

    There isn't a tool to specifically lock the direction the camera moves but you coulld use the Position Camera tool to place the camera for each scene. You can use guidepoints or geometry to identify where the camera needs to be placed for each scene. Out of curiosity, how will you use this with your model? Quickie example: Camera positioned at each end of the edge shown selected in the foreground. [image: pWfM_Screenshot-3_26_20229_12_37PM.png] Result of transitioning between scenes. Click on the picture to see it move. [image: ZVyI_PC.gif]

    Actually it is quite true. I have favorite component directories that I can't delete. No option... Still a bug. If the directory no longer exists we should be able to delete it from favorites. Period. Having them persist and junk up the list is a bug. And yes Sketchup has other bugs they have not addressed. For instance the use of "/u" in directory file paths that breaks dynamic components. Pretty much makes dynamic components useless for anyone on windows who uses the "/Users" file directory, which is most everyone... That bug has also been around for years...

    LOL! Seems to me there's Lidar data available of at least most of England but I'm not sure if you can get that in a form that can be imported into SketchUp. I looked once but not very hard. Maybe you'll have to get one of those GPS gadgets and walk around collecting spot elevations. Then you can convert that into a point cloud. I've been wondering about doing that for my own property. Honestly, I expect if you need high res terrain data for single parcels of land, you'll probably need someone on the ground.

    Maybe think about the example Box gave. You might use the same interior door on every doorway throughout a house such as this one: [image: WWBF_Screenshot-3_12_20226_49_30PM.png] They all have the same definition which includes the Definition Name of TS6080 TruStile. One has an instance name of Bedroom 1 Door, another Bedroom 2 Door, and a third, Bathrom door.

    Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the front surface of the box looks slightly concave to me. As @box wrote, we would need to see the model to say more surely.

    Hi, They only thing a student needs is a free sketchucation account and Sketchucation Tools v4.2.3 Download Sketchucation Tools here... https://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download ...and install it into SketchUp. Login to their free account and install and extensions they want through our tool. It also handles licensing so it is needed to help you manage your seats etc. Then they can trial Fredo's tools for 30 days or purchase as needed. If any run into trouble they can email support[at]sketcucation.com

    This link will work. Depending on your license, you might be able to go to SketchUp 2020.
