    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?

    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.

    @jman0war said: Thanks. I used to use BlueBeam Revu years ago, mostly for the one click PDF conversion and a few Markup tools. Looks like they've added functionality. I only have the viewer but it's great to get dims off of PDFs. It'd be nice to be able to bring vector PDFs into SU (like I can in AutoCAD) but maybe one day. Good luck Glenn

    Box, Thanks for the suggestion I followed your suggestion; the M key brings up a 4-pointed arrow. If I trace it around the perimeter of my two screens nothing happens. If I click it exits, the 4-pointed arrow disappears. What am I doing wrong? Thank you john

    Thanks HornOxx. I tried that. Adjusted it by using perspective in Photoshop. Didn't work.

    Thank you for your reply, Yes, I do this when I have these kinds of concerns. So I had done all this two days ago without success ... Moreover I am registered on the Nvidia.fr site to be informed during updates of my graphics card driver. I just restored the settings to defaults during the 1st installation of the Nvidia driver, then I set for SU as I am used to (I always used Nvidia Quadro or Geforce drivers) and everything is returned to order. Well, in the end our exchange allowed me to resolve the problem. -Zooen

    Thanks for the reply. Well that’s good to know as I have put a fair amount of money into SU recently with plugins and 3 year renewal. I do see the power and speed of using it. I think it just needs some bits refining a little. I do agree with you with one program but it’s good to keep your hand in auto desk as that’s what most people use here in the UK.

    Remember that the "Not Responding" message doesn't mean that SketchUp has quit working. It means it's not going to respond to any further input until it's finished doing the last thing you told it to do. Purging unused stuff regularly should help reduce that. It should also help keep your file performing better.

    Probably a tag usage issue. Make sure you haven't assigned a tag to the edges and that tag isn't turned off. Make sure you are using tags correctly leaving all edges and faces untagged and only tagging objects (groups and components). Also make sure you are leaving Untagged as active. The pencil icon on the far right is always at Untagged.

    After so long, the same thing happens to me. I have installed msphysics on many other machines and have never had this problem. Specifically on this laptop I have tested Sketchup 16 and 18, and it happens as seen. Anton, thank you very much, the plugin is wonderful. [image: MaQD_Portapapeles02.jpg]

    Another option would be to turn off Shadows On Ground. [image: JyZR_Screenshot-2_9_20213_45_09PM.png] [image: gaHd_Screenshot-2_9_20213_45_21PM.png]
