    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    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!

    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.

    @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.
