    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?

    This is one of the rare reasons why you can change the active layer.

    This or This or ... ? MC Escher Spirite! Without image it's very difficult to imagine what do you want! Line 2 Tubes by Didier Bur for bottom one! Can be applied to your all image in one pass (surrely very long calculus) So better calculate one then to make some Dim repeat [image: 9uBd_this_or_this.jpg] [image: e1Ou_GIF_pattern.gif]

    Kind of difficult to give you a concise answer without seeing examples of what you’re now doing . Most effective NPR artistic style presentations are a combination of exporting various raw SU images , “ quick and dirty “ renders and manipulating them in software like PhotoSketcher then combining it all in a photo editing program. I can personally recommend the book “Digital Watercolor “ by Alan Casas it’s in the scetchUcation store. Also might be worth cruising through the Post Processing thread on this forum . Most of the posts are older but still good info and links there. Suggest looking a what others are doing and their workflows and then adapting that to your needs.

    You're welcome. Generally if you are managing your model correctly clipping really shouldn't be a big problem.

    Which Macbook Pro do you have? If it's one of the older models you will be able to mirror & replace the drive, which would be the ideal scenario. Here's a bit of info: https://www.howtogeek.com/348398/can-you-upgrade-the-hard-drive-or-ssd-in-your-mac/

    OK - I am back on the right track. Need to make some adjustments but at least it is now acting the way it should. Making me feel kind of foolish with the silly mistakes I made. [image: tJSh_WalkingMan1.gif]

    Reload only works on components. So save the contents of a file as a component. A component doesn't save views styles etc, only entities.

    All compression/decompression tools will have a settings menu, in which you change which file-types it 'opens'... I quote from WinRAR's FAQs: @unknownuser said: If WinRAR was associated with archives during installation (the default installation option), the archive will be opened in WinRAR. You also may associate WinRAR with archives after installation using the Integration settings dialog... Opening a .JAR file in something rather than Java means that it hasn't executed properly, so ImageTrimmer will fail. But you should be able to have WinRAR installed and ImageTrimmer working with its .JAR files through Java - but you must set WinRAR's file-associations to ignore .JAR files...

    It's a VERY old script from @Last It's in the PluginStore - together with parametric_grid... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=parametric By now they are really 'example' code... And therefore unlikely to work perfectly in newer versions...

    The file didn't get attached. If you don't want it to get spread around, send it to me by private message instead. I won't share it with anyone else. If you add it in this thread it'll be available to the whole world.

    None of the Software seems to solve my issue. I am running latest Windows 10 and Latest Sketchup 2020.2. Have tried all the tricks available on net you tube etc. But my sketchup thumbnails are not visible. XnView, or Latest Mystic Thumbs is also not helping. I could see only thumbnails of latest downloads, which are skp 2020 version. Any skp file which is older is not visible. can someone help please? many thanks

    Baz, I had a similar experience related to the replacement of OR lights and the addition of some articulated equipment booms. The vendor showed a floor plan with circles drawn to show the area the equipment could cover but not the volume of space the equipment would consume in the room. As it turned out, the proposed placement of the equipment and where it mounted on the ceiling meant that it couldn't be used in the primary location. If the boom was positioned where they wanted it during use, they couldn't get the patient in the room. And it couldn't be place on the other side of the table to allow the patient to come in because they'd have to take the equipment over the patient once they were on the table and that is prohibited. The vendor wasn't happy because they had to go back and rework things and the project manager was at first upset because of the delay in the project and the need to schedule another meeting. She figured out though that it saved the hospital a pile of money, though.
  • How important is a GPU?

    Thanks for the reply! As an update, I bought the Mac mini and currently have it connected to 3 x 4k displays. Looking at the GPU usage graphs, I've been able to reach about 80% of the limit of the Integrated UHD 630 with SketchUp alone, and using maximum texture sizes. The only thing that's maxed out the GPU so far has been the screensaver I use. I can orbit large models easily, but there's a slight delay when I stop orbiting, and before the textures load. It doesn't orbit quickly with the textures still visible - it changes to solid colours. For the moment, I'm going to keep with the integrated graphics as this computer seems almost silent, but if I decide to buy an eGPU, I'll update this thread to show the comparisons. This is with the 2018 i7 Mac mini, 6 core, and 64GB Ram - running SketchUp and Layout 2020

    Il vaut mieux poster en français dans le forum français Board Index Settings USersGroups Français (+ Select en bout de ligne à droite) Bouton Submit (tout en bas à droite) Sinon aucune idée pour l'instant sans le SKP correspondant!
