    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?

    @skavan said: don't understand the benefit of converting it to a Catmull Spline - perhaps Dave R can explain...and when I did it, I noticed some funny loops, so I performed this procedure without that step. The Catmull spline created a smoother curve. In your example you have straight runs of tiles along the longer straight segments and then a more severe angle when the next segment comes along. With the smoother curve I created, more tiles get tapered but that'll likely be more realistic. As long as you are satisfied with what you've got, that's fine. As for the "funny loops", I'm not sure what that's about. I didn't see any when I did it.

    @pbacot said: Yes, Mike but it happens in this case a lot and I am pretry goood at typoiing otherwise. Sorry. That made me laugh. @pbacot said: It's possible typing "s" afterward helps some of the time. "s" shouldn't be necessary in Entity Info. It used to be required if you were making the adjustment before drawing a circle but it isn't anymore. When you are changing the setting in Entity Info, are you selecting the existing number and then just overtyping? Or are you selecting the existing value and deleting it before typing the new number?

    That particular extension was withdrawn by its author, after there was a copyright infringement notice issued via Google - it seemed spurious, but it still seems unresolved. You could try a direct PM to the author [SDMitch] ?

    I'd like to see an example file that shows the problem you are having. i frequently adjust the stretch geometry with the Move tool and infer to entities outside the current group or component with no problem.

    Glad you got it sorted. If Thom Thom's extensions are showing as unsigned when you look at Extension Manager, you need to update them. His extensions should all show as signed. Please update your profile. It shows you are still living in the past.

    @pbacot said: I think that extension would be the Sketchucation Extension Manager.No? No. It lets you selectively turn extensions on and off, but has no effect on the order in which they are loaded or the order in which their items are placed in menus.

    When I recently had some trouble and had to backtrack versions temporarily Trimble was very helpful in making sure I had the right license key. No hassles.

    You didn't provide much of the information that would be needed to help you. For example: what Mac hardware (including any external monitors) and macOS version? SketchUp can become confused about where to place dialogs if you use monitors with different resolutions. Also, there is no guarantee the SketchUp 8 will run correctly on newer versions of macOS (though it might...). where did you obtain the copy of SketchUp 8? It has not been available directly from Trimble for some years, and who knows whether the one you obtained is intact... does any part of SketchUp 8 work correctly? Said the other way, are these dialogs the only issues you encounter?

    I get what you mean but, Bringing the mesh into blender (via obj) everything loads in place, as it does in Poser, daz studio, wings, silo.... Etc Su is the only one that seems to require manual placement of every imported mesh item.

    You're spot on with what you say. Middle of the floor, not a problem. Free standing stoves are ideal. The ideal solution would be a feature where I can apply a material to the wall around the stove (my mask) and for Sketchup to ignore everything behind it. I'm assuming this isn't something that could be achieved via a plugin? It might be easier to go back to Unity and see what I can do there. Thank you all for your suggestions. Kindest regards, Reagan.

    oh boy.... i was searching "3 point" NOT "3pt" thanks for taking the time to compensate for my, eh..lack of sleep I installed Pixero's 3pt rectangle and error is gone. STILL i have to wonder if it wasn't installed, why was i getting the error in the first place? I used LAUNCHER to search installed plugins within sketchup also using all sorts of relevant keywords but nothing had come up. Oh well. Solved for now. Thanks!! Bob

    Pretty cool idea. Slapped together a quick example.... The drawings are 24" x 36". Drew a 4" grid across the sheet. Used FredoScale > Radial Bend to start with and added more "crinkles" with Vertex tools. You can go as crazy as you'd like with this part. Imported a couple of generic plan images I had on file. Used ThruPaint to apply the images to the sheets. Brought in the first house model I came to and scaled it down to suit. Turned on shadows and there you have it. Edit - I have no life .... added a third sheet with more curl to the end. Be sure to check out Box's tutorials. [image: mL5J_archicard.jpg] [image: e5hp_archicard2.jpg]

    The coloration of the chair is probably setup as a refractive material in the Max file. This will not come into SketchUp, so the above texture is a clever trick.
