    @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.

    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?

    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!

    I am using this in work and it's working really well without error for many months now. Data prep is more of an issue for more complex models I am bringing in from places like Delatgen and Catia, SketchUp however is the easiest of the bunch. You do need SketchUp Pro to make it work however and I havent' yet tried it on SU2019.

    @scottalanclymer said: is it safe to say this can not be done with Sketchup using native capabilities? The answer is the same as was given to you in your other forum post.

    Well, it can be but the SCF Extension Store and Extension Warehouse make it fairly easy if they are used to install the extensions in the first place. I suppose that it could be made easier if SketchUp could copy the older versions Plugins folder contents but as it is, that's not a good idea. There are some extensions that install files other places which need to go through the proper installation process and it seems from the troubleshooting we "get" to do that an awful lot of the extensions can't be bothered to keep their extensions up to date. And there are frequently updates to the Ruby scripting version which require extensions be updated to work with the new SketchUp version. If the author of the extension didn't get their script updated and the user hadn't already installed that updated version, the extension wouldn't work. Seems like a lot of things outside of Sketchup's control to make that a good idea.

    No need for the parallel placement if you aren't projecting the texture. I'm guessing this texture of yours is some banding as might be used on a musical instrument. In real life it would be about veneer thick and would be wrapped around the body of the gitbox or whatever. You'd use projection if you wanted to show how a pattern of glued up blocks changes when they are turned on a lathe.

    The cursor keys have been a thing for a few generations now but as I said, Shift can be used instead. I use both depending on what I'm doing.

    Update version #, I assume? Done. (And guaranteed not to remember to do it again that when 2019 comes out.)

    Thanks @faust07, I hadn't bothered to check for an update! @HornOxx, you can try the newer version to see whether it helps. If my theory is correct about what is happening, it will still fail the same way. I noticed in the comments on the new version the author says he created it for use when importing into Lumion, but as of Lumion 3 it isn't needed any more.

    Thanks Dave, pretty simple when you think about it that way! After I posted this yesterday, I found all the previous versions in the models component library and deleted them, thus removing all the # numbered versions which were confusing me! Thanks for the quick reply and solution.

    @calypsoart said: I get update messages from 3 sources. Sketchucation Extension Store, Fredo6 update check, and the Trimble extension warehouse. When I get from the Extension store, the update process goes well and it says all updated. However, a run of Fredo6 plugin check shows updates available. Most I know have been updated. Further, update notifications from Trimble's extension warehouse are sometime problematic and I'd like to disable them. Suggestions? Do you have an example? Sketchucation ExtensionStore is the trustable source, because this is where I publish the plugins. LibFredo6 Check For Update can be slightly off-sync (intentionally), because I usually wait for a few downloads of a new version to turn it on. However, it should not say that there is anything to update if ExtensionStore tells you have everything up to date. Note that you can still get the dialog box showing periodically even if everything is up to date. LibFredo6 never does a check online in the background unless you press the button "Check For Update". SO the display of the dialog box is only dependent on the last time you did a check. For my plugins, forget Trimble Extension Warehouse, as I don't publish there and just expose a link to Sketchucation. But for other authors, this can be the trustable source.

    Fredo's Animator allows you to animate objects and camera, so if you leave the objects alone you should be able to animate between the scene's cameras. But nothing is done with no work... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Animator
