    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!

    @pixero said: Well...the most annoying thing is that they are trying to force us to go into subscription. Hiding away the permanent license where barely anyone can see it. If you've been keeping up with your annual maintenance and support, it doesn't matter because you would get the Classic license anyway. They've only added another option for new commercial SketchUp users to get into SketchUp. A few years before I retired from my last job I got a SketchUp Pro license to use at work. Due to the price and the way my employer's purchasing system was set up, I had to go through a process to get a purchase order created and an account established with Trimble before I could get the license. If the subscription option had been available I could have paid for it with my corporate credit card. Instead of taking several days and involving several different people in Purchasing (which added to the cost of the license) I could have had the license within a minute or two of completing the form on the SketchUp site and the corporate credit card bill would have been paid automatically.

    Leftie here.. I don't see no special benefits (for lefties) in your concrete table. Consider using NumPad heavily. Don't hesitate to alter the shortcuts- it'd boost productivity over 9000%. In order to work on other PC just put preferences file on cloud.

    @tig said: It's probably foobar ! Did SketchUp make a .skb backup file in the same folder ? If so, try to rename with .skp on the end and try opening that. If it opens it'll be one save behind. Also look for an AutoSave_FileName.skp file and see if that works... been a while since i've had to resort to using the skb file. thanks for the suggestion and refreshing my memory!

    Float cursor on rotation point and use arrow keys to change orientation. Once you've found your desired orientation then left click & rotate as per normal.

    Maybe you must adapt the size of the curtain square grid / size of the red part size...

    Yeah NTX! Sometimes one needs to review their workflow in detail, and it's a little much to ruminate on the forums.

    @elmer said: Well, I must apologize if I’m making things confused and convoluted to some, but they may not have read that other great thread: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/an-open-letter-to-trimble/87510?u=chippwalters and this one too: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/open-letter/88172 And yes, I am one of those old fart who think that the planet would be much better off if we weren't in a frenzy of consumption, always upgrading and trying to go desperately faster! Many softwares kindly offer a small checkbox to untick if you don't want to see the home screen appear at each new opening. I feel like an intrusive injonction the way the SketchUp Make starting screen ask me to say hello! Sorry to point it out, but it was not like that with Google SketchUp Free True also that being retired gives us plenty of time to complain and moan a little bit about the way things are going..... . Hi Elmer, no apologies required And reasonable complaints, but alas that seems to be the way things are going. Main thing is we have had years of Sketchup being owned by google that had a different objective, not entirely commercial. Unfortunately we will have to get used to Trimble or move on. I am not sure Trimble is reading the market correctly, but I may be wrong.

    Resolved. Thank you thank you thank you @anton_s said: tecnozati, Yeah, the docs do not have enough coding examples. But I intended to fix that someday. To get the position of a servo joint from a script field, you will first need to know the name/id of the joint, which is displayed in UI when you select the joint. Then you can write the following code: > onStart { > @j = simulation.find_joint_by_name("569422") > } > > onTick { > # Set desired angle > if (key(' ') == 1) > @j.controller = 100.degrees > else > @j.controller = 0 > end > > # Get current angle > simulation.log_line @j.cur_angle.radians > } > You can refer to servo docs for more functionality: https://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/MSPhysics/Servo Anton

    I can think of two possibilities: The mouse is not configured to send the event SketchUp expects when you press the scroll wheel. There should be settings in the mouse control panel. The scroll wheel switch has failed. Try another mouse and see if it works correctly.

    I found the solution. Sign in with the google sign-in method vs. the email address method. The email address method is the 'default' method since the field has the blinking cursor in it.

    Thanks! I DID run without plugins and stripped down whatever I could, running a generic template file (then that file was added to my files that reload each time!) I would guess this is related to upgrading to High Sierra but it didn't happen until 2 weeks after that. So I decided, heck, finish the job and go to Mojave OS. Then that didn't help so I went to SU 2019. And after hanging on the first try, that looks pretty good. Now despite some crashes, 2016 closes OK... sometimes... after all that, what, can it heal itself??? After 3 years (versions) I have to say there ARE some nice changes piled up that look good for the Mac. AA is good now, it does seem a little snappier and smoother, and crashed files will not be loaded on restart supposedly. And they made it for Mojave. I like that they finally made the extensions manager into a sensible dialog window-- though after loading Sketchucation Tools I don't look at it much again.
