    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?

    What they actually said was: @unknownuser said: Large Area Imports for Add Location. You can now easily import large sites at full resolution. How can you take advantage of this new feature? Simply zoom out a bit, then select the level from which you want to import. Be aware that importing very large areas with lots of imagery can adversely affect performance in your SketchUp model. Note that this feature is only available to SketchUp Pro and Studio subscription holders. This is still limited to a certain image quality level which is what you pay for as part of the subscription cost. Full resolution is the not highest resolution. Higher quality imagery is available for a price and it can be had via Placemaker.

    I've had some of these changes become annoying as in other software. I usually find I get used to it and don't notice once my muscle memory adjusts. That said the lackluster revamp of the layer window is sad. Try a mouse software that allows you to speed up your cursor movement. Once you get used to that it's even better.

    @ecati said: If you move the model to the center of the axle, the hole is drilled. Interesting. Is this a bug? Click on the image for animation. It's funny that you noticed that. That's actually what I did to get it to work, but I didn't realize that was why it worked after moving it. (The model was not at XY axis because it was in it's place on the machine itself.)

    The scenes also use the hide and unhide functions of sketchup; when you group it disrupts that function

    Select what you want to export from your model. Invert the selection [there are plugins for this] - or use this snippet in the Ruby Console + <enter>. m=Sketchup.active_model m.start_operation('DWG_ss', true) ss = m.selection es = m.active_entities es.erase_entities(es.to_a - ss.to_a) m.definitions.purge_unused m.layers.purge_unused m.materials.purge_unused m.commit_operation Immediately after that run the File > Export > DWG operation [with whatever Options you desire]. Then use the Edit > Undo menu item to step backwards to the point before you erased things. The exported DWG will be OK, and the model should be back to where you started... The DWG should not have unused things like blocks, layers etc...

    There's also the other way, Go Window/Outliner (or whichever dialog you want to put the focus on) then hit alt and space then m then any arrow key and move the mouse around until the dialog comes into view.

    I should have added that you may need to grab the bottom edge of the panel and pull it down to expose the button. Apologies! On checking, it would seem that the entity info tray panel is the only one (panel with expander button) where the said button is not located at the top of the panel and will therefore not always be visible.

    OK. I think I get what you want. You want to lock components and groups that have the same layer tag. It wouldn't actually be that the layer tag is locked since that doesn't really make any sense. Since it would be the groups and components that are getting locked, why not look in Outliner? There you can see what's locked and what isn't.

    @bob_cp said: Yea, all my models use ridiculous textures. I use shaded at times, but the file sizes are pretty large. Why do you need such large textures? I need them for rendering but I use Thea render. It allows us to have a high resolution texture in the material while it is able to generate a low resolution texture for use in the Sketchup material. I also need them for photogrammetry and terrain data, but I also use Thea to reduce their size. Thea will use textures stored in disk ,that do not weight on SketchUp model.

    @duanekemp said: Is there an update on this information.... new tools that transforms triangles into a pure quad mesh? ThomThoms plugin 'CleanUp³' is capable of connecting co-planar faces, for a further processing ThomThoms 'SubD' might be worth a look too. There are several tools available which should be able to remesh triangles to quads as e.g. the commercial 'ZBrush' or '3D-Coat' as well as free 'Instant Meshes' or good ol' 'Meshlab'. btw, resurrecting 10 year old threads should be avoided, just post a new thread instead.

    The mapping should be done in Sketchup. "Relative" is the right option. What's wrong with the first image? The texture is stretched a bit in one direction, because you made it square. But besides that it looks ok to me.

    Could another program be stealing focus and the press of the wheel brings it back to SU?
