    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    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!

    Hi Joe, I run SU on an ageing but fairly hi-spec gaming machine. I've got the anti-aliasing set to 0. I tried it on 4 and can see absolutely no difference, so I changed it back again...the higher it is, the more work your graphics card will have to do. I'd choose fast feedback over higher multi-sampling, as your system will run faster, especially on larger models. I think SU checks whether you can run higher sampling and fast feedback together on start-up. If your card is not up to the job, it will grey it out.

    I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say. Your model is all loose geometry, the only component is the scale figure that shows as a nested instance. Once Solid inspector has fixed the issues it can there are still holes and overlaps that you need to address manually. To get a volume the object needs to be a solid. [image: biZQ_GIF25-01-20248-39-54PM.gif] Once fixed and grouped it does show a volume. [image: mRSSVkh.png]

    @kosmakosmakosma said: Edit: This makes no sense but now it works without VPN The only thing I can imagine is: the line between your internet service provider and our server hosting company in Germany was either down or very slow. This kind of thing can happen if a major router or cable line is down. Anyhow I am happy that the problem has been solved.

    This is insane, ... maybe being an expert dedicated to modeling to final products or being a company doing all the modeling-to-final arch-viz services is different. i.e. https://www.mir.no/

    @joe wood said: Yeah the tech is coming back to reinstall it early next week, really wonering how much better SUp will be! Probably not noticeably better on small models but if you increase visual enhancements you would notice it. So if you decided to use a style that had quite nice bitmap based strokes and added shadows. Or bumped up your OpenGL settings to ludicrous mode. Your integrated GPU would definitely under perform compared to a dedicated GPU. [image: hYijPH1.png] For mundane appearance settings, like Fast Styles, and generally efficient light models SketchUp is optimised for integrated GPU.

    Point clouds are normally displayed as guidepoints. As long as you don't delete guides they should remain visible. You can combine them into a component or group and give the group a tag. Then you can control whether the point cloud is visible in a given scene.

    Oh jeez, turns out I already have it installed. Now that's embarrassing Now all I gotta do is figure out how to use it. I'm not too hopeful, but I'm gonna give it my best shot. Thanks, happy holidays! [image: CYma_THRUPAINT.png]

    I presume you have looked at udnet? https://www.undet.com/undet-products/sketchup-plugin-for-3d-modeling-from-point-cloud/ It's pricey at 500/yr but there is a trial for 14days. I'd watch the videos first to see what transforms it can do.

    Well, since you are using SketchUp as a hobbyist, maybe sticking with what you have will work fine for you.

    Drag the floating toolbar by its top part into the top area or the left, and it should 'dock'.

    It should automatically go to the bottom right if you remove it. Drag the Measurements window back into Customize Tool Palettes window. If it still doesn't show right click on the bottom edge of the SketchUp window. On the PC you can tick Measurements to make it show. If you installed SketchUp correctly it should just be there, though. Now that you've updated to 2023, please update your forum profile.

    Thanks for sharing. It is both hilarious and sad. So many basics that should be included instead of messing with things like the icons.
