    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?

    I guess all I can say is good luck. I've seen another example today of a file corrupted beyond recovery because the user was saving his file directly into Drop Box and working on it from there. For files I want to work on with more than one computer, I save them locally and then copy them to a cloud location so they are accessible from the other machine.

    The Standard Views are fixed as is the location of the ground plane. By default the model axes are located such that the red/green plane lays on the ground plane with solid green running off into the distance in the standard front view. While you can change the axis orientation and location, that has no impact on the Standard Views or ground plane.

    Fixed it. The .rb file was pointing to a _loader.rb file in the plugin folder. It's actually a _loader.rbs file. I've informed them. It's still unclear which format will become the standard for AR viewing on smartphones etc....Apple's USDZ or Google's glTF.

    If nothing else works you could try to run this in the Ruby console: Sketchup.send_action 10624 [image: 10115-pasted-from-clipboard-png] A bit down from the middle there is Near, Far and Force That lets you set the clipping planes manually. Beware that this is not an "official" Camera settings panel so be sure to make a backup if you use it. Also you may have to run it again to uncheck/reset this Force clipping planes after.

    Vanishing lines with sketchy styles.....help!

    Another thing to consider when using sketchy styles is that edges that make up curves can often be shorter than the shortest edge stroke. When that happens, the curves tend to disappear as in this example. [image: UUE7_Screenshot-11_13_20199_53_58PM.png] Welding those edges together gets around that problem as shown here: [image: VcPT_Screenshot-11_13_20199_55_01PM.png] The easiest way I've found to do the welding is with Eneroth Auto Weld which welds any edges that can be welded in the selection. TIG's TIG-Weld is also good.

    The Mac previews are presented by a thing called a QuickLook Generator (QLG). SketchUp started including its own QLG only a few versions ago. It's not clear that it is fully stable - I too sometimes see the generic icon instead of a preview.

    So far it's working really well for me with the whole Dave Method and then using the upright extruder with a thread profile. I'm printing at 0.06MM layer height to get accurate threads but it seems to be working, I managed to match an existing thread for a part I'm trying to replicate out of PETG as the existing is crap.

    Hi, I am using 2016...updated my profile. I just noticed that the only 3 scenes that are exporting are ones that i renamed from their generic Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3, etc. The rest are still named as Scene #'s, but also, I noticed they are in brackets??? (Scene 4), (scene 5), etc.... Which I just dug into further, and now see that means the "include in animation box" is unchecked somehow, obviously by accident. FIXED! Thanks so much!

    It's been a while since I tried OpenCutList, so I could be wrong. My recollection is that it, like several other cutlist extensions I've tried, requires you to add some extra attributes to each object, for example to tell it which way is the long axis of each board. Steve R's CutList needs no extra attributes or setup and I like that simplicity. It makes the assumption that the largest dimension is length, next largest is width, and smallest is thickness. That isn't always right but I don't find that to be a problem for my work. I prefer to organize the actual cutting of the boards based on grain, coloration, and flaws in the boards anyway, which requires me to think about which way they go.

    It's not very clear what "features" you want to hide. All I can see is a mess of guidelines that should probably be deleted. That can be done by going to the Edit menu and choosing Delete Guides.
