    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!

    Just a stab in the dark: the camera orientation is different in the render vs the su screenshot you posted. If you orbit to align the two, does anything show up in SketchUp?

    That's true. 2016 is just running 98% perfectly for me on Linux. 2020 has gold rating on Wine compat. layer. I have to try on my Win8 lap. how 2017 feels.

    When you click on a link to Download an extension, do that - download it as an RBZ file onto your computer. When it's downloaded use the Extension Manager within SketchUp to install its contents for you - as Dave explained. Do not try to open the RBZ file with SketchUp - that will not work: it must be installed, NOT opened.

    I am using Windows 11 and no trouble using SketchUp Make 2017 what so ever, even just yesterday I was using SketchUp straight for 7 hours with only a mother nature break and getting coffee, never a problem. The finished model I was working on was only: Materials: 10 Polygons: 30,208 File Size: 6MB But that was after running CleanUp3, so even more polygons. But my laptop is only 3 years old, so maybe more stable in Windows 11, and compatibility with SketchUp Make 2017 may be better. SO I have no idea why its happening to you, sorry.

    @horsinho said: Hi everyone, Not sure if this is the best place to ask (please move the thread if it isn't), but I'd like to know if there's a forum or website similar to Fivver focused in 3-D modeling. Or if there isn't a specific website, a place that has a section fully dedicated to 3-D modeling requests. I'm just a hobbyist, but once in a while I'm asked to design a room and I need to make some specific objects, for example a sofa, a massage chair, or something of that kind, and I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks to someone for that task. My hand dexterity is very low (health problems), and I can model a cabinet or something similar relatively easy, but organic modeling, with lots of curves, is much harder for me. I'm not a professional, so I wouldn't expect perfection, and I actually never used Fivver or anything similar so I'm not really sure how it works, but as I wrote above it'd be very nice if I could give this type of work on someone that probably would do this type of thing 10x faster than me. Thanks in advance for all comments and suggestions. actually, Fivver is a good place to start. I found A LOT of helpful guys there work on your inquiry thoroughly

    After reading a similar post in another forum, I looked at the open GL settings, turned off fast feedback and ok, then went back in and turned it on again. And the colour went back to normal. Something about true colour Thankyou for your efforts

    This is true for all SketchUp tools that are context-sensitive: they won't show up in the shortcuts editor unless the appropriate context is activated, e.g. by selecting an edge, face, group, or component.

    @simoneast said: I've also been encountering this annoying bug recently, in SketchUp Make 2017. When you change the axes inside a group, even using the axes tool, it resets upon saving. Exit group edit mode before saving so the change gets written to the group definition.[image: X8cv_axis.gif] Making a component in the first place instead of making a group would give you the option to set the axes and origin where you want it as well as other benefits you don't get with a group.

    If you select just the edges that you want to connect, turn them in to a group, then draw an edge(or an arc/curve) on each end to bridge to gap to create 'closed geometry', you could then use Soap Skin & Bubble and get a mesh created. You could also use Curviloft: Select just the edges that you want to connect, turn them in to a group, run 'BZ Polyline Segmentor' to create equal segments on both edges, then run Curviloft to bridge the gap.

    @gd3design said: Sure thing. If you run into to one of those more complicated examples, just share a skp file and I'll be happy to take a look and let you know if there are any better workarounds I know of or plugins that could help in a different situation. Cheers! GD Thank you very much for your help and time brother. I will keep it in mind.

    Does anyone know what the level of clarity/accuracy is (e.g. 60cm, 30cm, 15cm, etc.) for the topographic data in the location terrain feature of geolocation? I have a number of geolocation tiles that I imported into my model in SU2020 as well as in SU2021 using the 'Add more imagery' Geo-location feature, being sure to have the 'Show Terrain' option checked. I have attempted to do this with having the tiles locked as well as unlocking them, with no success.

    @dave r said: Sam D Mitch has withdrawn his extensions and it wouldn't be right to share them. You might look at S4U Align from the SCF Plugin Store or Curic Align from the Extension Warehouse. Thanks Dave R. Yes, others have suggested a solution to me too using Curic plugins. Curic Reset Rotation + Curic Space + Curic Align
