    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    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!

    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.

    I told it I was ok switching the letter G from its hardwired designation when I made the shortcut. I have always had to manually redo shortcuts on new installs so nothing new there. it was just odd that the selection function was funky until I undid and redid the shortcut. all good now though. p

    You're a touch late to the party on this, the logo changed on a previous release and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to change back.

    thank you - this good news is encouraging. I too am dependent on an IT department with my company´s notebook. Due to also Corona-related many much much more important issues these people have to master, my concern was not important enough so far. Since the update to SU 2022 is coming up soon, I will keep an eye on this topic. Anyway, I share tig's comment from above @tig said: BUT surely this can be fixed 'properly' by 'the powers that be' at Trimble ??

    Thanks TIG. Yes, it was a copy and paste job and I know that's not the way you're supposed to do it. I did find the culprit and it wasn't a plugin but operator error. I had checked off "Replace Push/Pull Tool" in SUbD Preferences last night. All back to normal now. I guess if anyone has the same issue they can find it here now. Now I have to fix (rearrange) the tool bar mess I created. [image: xjoO_SUbD-Preferences.jpg]

    @dave r said: Each version of SketchUp installs as a separate program. It doesn't overwrite the previous version. When I migrate to a new version I make a screen shot of the previous version showing my toolbar arrangement. Then I import that image into the new one to use as a reference for placing my toolbars. Makes it easier to see what goes where. I also use it as a time to do some cleaning to get rid of tools I don't really need on my toolbars. I understand and that is what I do. However even though I am fairly proficient with SU Prro it really puts me off updating my software. Needs a rethink.

    Installed SU 2022 and everything went smoothly. Copied my SU 2021 plugins and only had to re-enter my Medeek licenses. Everything else is working fine with what I checked so far: Profile Builder 3, Thea Render; Instant Architect; Cloth Works; Medeek Wall, Foundation and Truss; and Skatter 2. Seems a little faster. The Tag tool is really handy to change objects, groups or components to the tag your currently set on and works like a "magic wand."

    Thank you for the compliment. What I do is not at all difficult with the right tools. Like anything else in SketchUp life you just have to learn how to do it. There is the EP Fasteners extension that will make screw threads. I prefer my process because I think I get nicer screw threads. For a program that was intended for architectural modeling, I think there are good options for modeling screw threads already.

    @derek edison said: Export the model to DAE to get the texture. It appears that it's the same texture for both colors so just double click the tag color in the Tag tray to get the RGB values for each color. Now that was a quick resolution. Thank you! Exporting to dae and importing it back allowed me to pick the paint with the eyedropper.

    @spreadcore said: Yes, I am. I don't particularly like using programs that I have to be online to use. So I don't use the newest ver. SketchUp 8 works just fine for the little stuff I do. Since you are a hobbyist you could use SketchUp 2017 Make. You don't have to be online to use it.
