    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    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!

    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.

Just how,much detail you want is up to how much time your willing to spend Thanks, I'm trying to do it with SubD and others you mentioned. It's difficult to adjust the volumes but I made progress.

    What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile says you are using 2020 Free/Make but that's impossible as there is no such version. What graphics card? How large is the SketchUp model file?

    The current version of SketchUp, 2022 Pro, will save all the way back to V3.

    LibFredo6 is mainly support files for many of Fredo6's extensions. The only thing you should see from LibFredo6 would be in the Window menu as LibFredo6 Settings... You'll probably need to quit and restart SketchUp to get it to show up. By itself LibFredo6 isn't really very useful.

    Are you talking of bisection (Симетрала)? Unfortunately (I even requested in vain long time ago) there's no such tool. the closest one (and indispensable) is: http://www.smustard.com/script/Midpoint

    You might try contacting SketchUp Customer support to see if they have some sort of option for you.

    Thank you so much, that was a big help! One other thing. There is the contour tool for pulling or pushing natural shapes but there there a way of grading along on straight line? @rich o brien said: [image: NtI9WoQ.png] Rotate your From Scratch mesh to slope then select the area you need to flatten and rotate it.

    Unzip error

    Cannot get it right. If I install via Sketchucation Extension Store to the AppData/Roaming folder, I get the unzip error. However, if I install to the ProgramData folder, even though the error window pops up, the tool gets installed and its fully functional but only for the current session (next time i open Sketchup, the tool is gone). If I try to install from the downloaded RBZ, I get another error warning and no tool. Cleared IE cache and restarted SKP several times. First time I have to deal with a situation like this. Hope you guys can advise any further. Using Sketchup 2019.
