    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?

    Can't seem to create surfaces after draping linework on topo

    This issue happens can you import CAD files and drape them. It's always been a bug and it lingers still. I would recommend using EdgeTools and clean up any little bits and shards in your CAD file. Then you can try also running it on your topo after draping. This doesnt always work but it gets a good amount of unclean cuts. You can also bet that arcs tend to have this issue when draping. To find the culprit, I turn on hidden and start painting my areas, you will eventually find where the bleeder is and fix the teeny-tiny edge that did not cut cleanly. Also try Fredo's Edge Inspector.

    For years I have requested a way to have saved work spaces in SketchUp. This could even include customized Menu items, that way you have categorized your plugins. Send Trimble an email and make this a priority for them!

    Glad you got it sorted. @jgillick said: The geometry was hidden in another layer. The penny drops! Another good example of why the rule about leaving Layer 0 as the active layer and keeping all geometry on Layer 0 should be followed. Bookmarked for the next time someone isn't convinced from reading the help articles on layer usage in SketchUp.

    SOLVED (or rather "good results without understanding" ) Uninstall, manual deleting folders from appdata etc., installing english version 64, (installing PL version did not help, but english was working OK) then i've installed polish version 64. Everything is OK EXEPT kbd shortcuts, wchich dissapeared MAc PS1: No, It was 100% SUMake 2017, working OK about 2 months. (I use SU from ver 7, and I kbow differences between Make and pro-demo) - but it was 1st what i chcecked PS2 I tried web-based "Free". It's a kind of nightmare. BTW - I have plugins I've paid for. Something is not fair... Not good way...

    @box said: There can be various reasons for slow performance, from inefficient workflow to some flaw in the computer settings. Without seeing an example of your work we can only guess. A large file size doesn't always mean slow, I was working on a 415mb file only yesterday on a very low end laptop without any stutter. And I can create a 100kb file that will bring the best PC to it's knees. A model to look at would help us to understand if it is your workflow or your system that would benefit from some tweaking. Here's the model that I'm working on. Let me know if I can optimize it any more.

    @pbacot said: I'm assuming you are doing 2d graphic export. You'll have to unsoften all the visible edges for the export of the view. Turn on "View/ hidden geometry". Use the soften/smooth edges dialog. Turn the slider down all the way. This worked!!! Thank you so much...

    [quote="Deivis1992"] Do you always do that with more difficult shapes? It really depends on the final use of the model and how much detail I want. Sometimes just having the approximate dimensions and "eyeballing is fine".

    SDMITCH! After searching for hours, I finally found your script and it does 90% of what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!! This is the closest thing I have found to a batch material import for 2019. I still have to save the skms back to the folder i want and then upload the collection, but bringing the images in into sketchup is the real timesuck.

    no 2018, pretty poor that sketchups own "fix model" is what broke the file to a point where its completely gone... plus a driver update is as good of an answer and switching it off and on again, its the file not the computer thats the problem. broken file

    Using a Radius to create a circle?

    It's not a bug. It's just the way SketchUp is designed to work. Personaly I've never found it a big problem or unproductive to enter radii instead of diameters. I'm fairly new to SketchUp though with only about 16 years under my belt. Pilou has provided some extensions that would help you out. FWIW, since you are using SketchUp for your business, you need to be using SketchUp Pro, not SketchUp Make as you have listed in your profile.

    Your plants are in naturally dark areas of the room which would make them darker, increasing contrast may help but you have not told us what render program you use.

    'Save as' sketchup file back to a version 8 file, then import to Max. In material editor, use eyedropper to bring up the multi-sub material in slate editor. you can then swap out/edit the materials. (I would recommend grouping your geometry in sketchup instead of loose geometry.) You can also export .3ds from sketchup and choose 'by material' under export options. Things with the same material will be grouped. You can follow same procedure and swap out materials. Of course in both cases you'll need to add a UVW modifier.

    I don't believe Windowizer has been updated for a few years. You could try contacting the author at Smustard.com. As for being unsigned, that would only be an issue if you set extension loading permissions to the strictest setting.
