    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?

    Hi, It's been a minute, I know, but I still have the Move2Elev plugin if you want to give it a try. But I believe there are many other plugins that can be used instead. Perhaps vertex tools or something with "align" in name. I don't remember exactly how this one works. Here it is: [mod=:1ve79dnz]File removed. because the author hasn't authorized redistribution.[/mod:1ve79dnz]

    A lot depends on what you really need and what direction you want to head. Various plugins like Curviloft from Fredo6, Extrusion tools by Tig, Soapskin and bubble will all do what you need, but you may need to fiddle them a bit to get the results you want. My personal go to for something like that would be SUbD, but it is not free and has a bit of a steep learning curve. However once you understand it it can be indispensable, depending on your work of course. In this example you can see how just changing the edges in the corners changes the finished shape significantly. [image: NVCatR6.gif]

    Maybe my description is too complicated, but It's rather simple idea under the hood, hence it never failed. I use it on constantly. PS Check PM

    No. I'm suggesting you don't explode the components until you've replaced the geometry inside with a guide point. Since all the X-cross objects are instances of the same component, you only need to edit one of them if you don't explode them all first. After you make the edit, explode the instances to leave the guide point cloud you are after.

    Sketchup will export whatever is in the model, expecting a future update to somehow ignore random geometry is somewhat optimistic.

    That is one of the things people forget, models are just edges and faces, so you can select the end and scale it, or the whole end section and so on.

    As Box guessed, they are Dynamic Components. Rotation is set in the Component Options panel. [image: GNB1_Screenshot-3_20_20214_04_09PM.png]

    There is a known issue (feature?) when using Architectural units that the ~ indicating that the displayed measurement is rounded isn't shown when both feet and inches are present.

    I'm not sure why you want to use silicone (I assume you mean a silicone-based caulk?). Are you worried about different expansion of the metal vs wood? Silicone will accommodate that, but will provide a somewhat rubbery bond that might be a bit unsettling to people going up the stairs unless there is a tight fit between the wood and metal. But if that is the case, there won't be room for different expansion anyway! I think I would also favor an epoxy.

    I suspect you may be using more than the default 24 segments for your circles.
