    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?

    Those CAD entities that are ignored by the importer are not edges. As Kenny indicates, exploding the text converts it to edges which can be displayed in the SketchUp model. TIG has a .dxf importer that can deal with text but you'd need a dxf file instead of dwg.

    What graphics card in the new computer? There were numerous reports of problems with recent AMD GPUs. If it is an AMD card, go to the AMD site and get their latest drivers and install them.

    I could see an advantage to this for typical details, or details that can be modified for the current projects. Engineers that I work with seem to have a numbering system, almost every detail in the drawing has a number below the title. I think it would be useful if the number included the year it was created or modified, or an abbreviation for the job it was used in, for custom designs. I don't consider it useful in my work, the way that details and drawings are usually one-off. I can find work by saving in the computer under the project name.

    SU MAKE - 17.2 - The newer versions of Sketchup are a little pricey for us non-professionals who don't make a living from it. On the other hand, I have to pay for Photoshop and Illustrator as I do use those to earn.

    PS The centerLine part is not usually needed, once you erase the internal lines And the face is in a V shape, you can usually just move that up/down to make your rectangle.

    Repairing the installation as I described won't affect extensions or toolbars. Unless you go into the wrong areas and make changes in the Registry Editor, you won't have any effect on them either.

    I got the same problem and just solved. Seems have to turn the color mode in Sketchup to align with the graphic card of the device. Solution: Go to System Preferences > Open GL> Capabilities Then change (try) the color mode. After changing to the correct one, the viewing color on sketchup screen will align with the color of the device system and hence the exported image. UN

    ... as asked above, could you please save down your SKP-file? This also enables users of older versions (like me) to help because not everyone has the current version. Sreenshots you can post as jpg directly visible here instead of making pdf files which have to be downloaded first which makes looking so cumbersome. And if you take a new screenshot, it doesn't hurt to highlight the places that bother you (the example-jpg below is screenshoted with the free Greenshot tool). I still don't see where the problem is. The pure presence of hidden geometry in itself is nothing unusual but normal. I can't be more specific without having a skp. [the only indication that immediately strikes me is the tube shape, which appears to be segmented into an absurdly high number of circular segments] [image: yeNd_SketchUp_Version.jpg] [image: rvK4_example.jpg]

    When you look in either source for plugins you can search plugins by your favorite authors and probably recognize the ones you had.
