    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?

    @trodlermichal said: ...and SketchUp is important for my and my job daily. Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2017 Make. You can count on that version not officially supporting newer Mac OS versions. FWIW, since you are using SketchUp for your work you should not be using SketchUp Make, anyway. That's a violation of the EULA. You need to be using SketchUp Pro. As slbaumgartner wrote, many users have reported the current version of SketchUp Pro works. I would expect the next release will officially support Monterey.

    I've seen some similar reports in the past. Someone from the SketchUp team has, on occasion, been able to recover the components in the file. Those were from SketchUp Pro, though. You could ask on the SketchUp Community Forum and maybe one of the SketchUp team will help you. Please complete your forum profile with SketchUp version and operating system.

    How about a monitor wall mount -single or dual, -they can be folded and placed against the wall & can swivel, 360° rotate, allowing you to adjust the angle as you want. With swiveling arms and freely adjusting height, you can ensure optimal viewing is easy to find the perfect spot. They usually have cable management ducting which prevents cables from being scattered and tangled, making your workspace more tidy and organized! [image: j8mk_DualMonitorWallMount.jpg]

    Hi, Meanwhile I have noticed that the manufacturer offers the plan of the guides in several formats, even in.skp! for each of it's guides. So I could use that file for placing the holes exactly. Thank you for your interest and your help! Kind regards Alohaa

    Working in chunks is your best approach to try an isolate what objects introduce the performance hit. Your model is large in terms of scale with lots of reflective surfaces and internal voids to calculate light. It's probably a perfect storm where a realtime render engine like Lumion shows its weakness. If it was me I'd be hitting up their support. A file like that should not bring it to its knees. I'd give it a spin in Twinmotion to see what that does. Its 1/3 of the price and now that Epic owns it you get access to Megascans and other goodies too. Plus the Datasmith plugin for SketchUp is solid.

    No, but you have geometry thats <1mm in places. Scaling fixes it.

    Yeah. I'm using the Rotate Tool and not very impressed. Works fine for simple 90 degree rotations, but the 2 methods for inputting rotation data don't even exist. There is supposed to be a contextual menu, which would allow input... nothing. Also, a "Curic Length Snapping toolbar". This consists of the icon for activating the tool, but nothing else. Pretty piss poor implementation, and QC. I've contacted them via the FB page chat. We'll see if anyt5hing gets done to remedy the problems. Rico

    I'd say trial them all to find the one that ticks the most boxes. Quantifier and ProfileBuilder are probably the most cost efficient and customisable. But you do need both to be the most productive. PlusSpec doesn't have the same parametric abilities that ProfileBuilder does but automates others areas very cleverly. It does alot more than PB3/Q Pro though. MeDeek I'm not too familar with. He does have a bevvy of tools to pick from. There's FlexTools too. Its focus is Dynamic Components based responsive modelling so its very non-destructive. In short, I've not really answered your query......

    @tig said: Try this v2.0... It offers a new Y|N option at the start to save each definitions into the main folder = N, or =Y to save any nested definitions into subfolders named after their parent. Then you can choose to ignore those - e.g. those nested inside other components, or those in groups [which you might want to consider keeping ?] My man!!

    For future reference there is a key combination that lets you grab any offscreen dialog and move it into view. So with the focus on Preferences (in other words you have tried to open it and the machine is going bing) press alt and spacebar together, then tap m once (where m is move in your language, would be d in french for example) then tap any arrow key and without clicking move the mouse around until the Dialog appears on screen. Once you have Preferences you can use the Reset Workspace button which should bring all dialogs back to the screen.

    Good enough. Keep in mind that it isn't unusual for a Windows update to include bad graphics drivers. Always best to go to the GPU manufacturer's site and get their latest drivers to install.
