    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!

    Basically I think you are agreeing to using SketchUp Make for hobby stuff only. No commercial work.

    @khai said: do... but the one thing I am getting from you dave is the feeling you wish I'd just shut up. is there a problem here? I'm not setting out to annoy you, and I am pointing out a valid point but seriously, I'm getting the feeling you'd rather I leave. I don't know how you got that impression because it couldn't be farther from the truth. I recognize that your point about piracy is valid. I agree with you. On the other hand, the thing Trimble is doing by charging for huge quantity downloads is an attempt to at least slow that down. It won't affect anyone who is actually using SketchUp either professionally or as their hobby.

    I use the 'Tools On Surface' (by Fredo6) plugin to reconnect lines. It will draw and constrain the new edges to the existing faces and make the task of cleaning this up pretty easy.

    the problem is that the other guy is not a good user of corel so it's really hard to edit the file. He can't deal with a dxf or dwg file format. In previous projects it was easy to copy paste the model from PDF into corel! Now the model have many curves and it's not working properly!

    Setup the image for Match Photo in a separate SketchUp file. After you have it properly set, copy the building from your project and paste it into that new file. Move the model around as needed to get it aligned with the image. Project your textures and then replace the building in your project with the textured one. Please complete your profile with the SketchUp version along with operating system. That info helps us help you.

    Hi Box Yes I can use two finger zoom, but then again, I have to move the hand away from the keyboard... and I actually think the touch ring works better for me, than the two finger zoom. I think I'm just asking for something that isn't possible... Jorgensen

    File error recovery from using portable usb drive

    The file you shared is corrupted. Very likely there was a delay in writing to the USB drive. We've seen similar file format problems in the past when files are not locally (internally) saved. It seems to most often happen when saving to the cloud but I've seen it once in awhile when saving to a USB device. The .skb files are backup files that are normally created by SketchUp during autosave. If you can find them you could try renaming them to .skp and see if they will open. If they didn't get corrupted, too, they should open. It's rare that corrupted files can be recovered. Are you using SketchUp 2016 Make as indicated by your profile? Might be the sort of thing where the fastest option is to just get busy creating a new model. This time save it to the local drive and only copy it to the USB drive if you need to make it portable.

    You are not completely clear in your explanation... If you have two Graphics-Cards on your computer, then if you are currently set up to use the 'poor' one, then you need to open the NVIDIA Control Panel and ensure that SketchUp is set to use this better GC under 3d-apps, and also let SketchUp choose its own settings... Having had a major system failure and rebuild has probably meant that your computer's GC settings are set up wrongly...
