    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!

    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.

    I don't believe that is an option in SketchUp 8 on Mac. There might be an extension that could do it.

    @dave r said: I sent Thom Thom a note to ask him about the console thing. I looked around to see if I could find another extension that could do what you ask but didn't find anything. I expect you could hire one of the extension authors to write one for you. You might ask in the Plugins category to see if one of them might have time to do it in exchange for some payment. Yeah Ill do that!

    Box is correct. If the image is left as an image, it will remain visible when you are editing a group or component. If you import it as a material (or import as an image and immediately explode the image which converts it to a material) the material won't be visible if it is outside the context of the group/component being edited. I've seen some tutorials showing the importing of images to use as references where the advise it to immediately explode the image and then group the geometry. I've never understood the reasoning for the added steps, especially if the image is only a reference and will not be used as a material.

I have been trying to install the very LAST version of SU 2021 (1.1 freshly downloaded). Thus this is a very bizarre message concerning the later version has been installed. This not the case. And YES - I run the installation of SU 2021.1.1 as admin (right mouse button). [image: Screenshot-2021-09-12-121625.png]

    Thanks for your suggestions. I'm not getting bug splats. I think that I have found one of the reasons why I get undesirable results. Don't select the object before using Joint PushPull.
