    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!

    Try editing the style and reducing the opacity of the watercolor overlay in the Watermark settings. [image: L7nm_Screenshot-10_16_20189_48_47PM.png]

    Could it be the scale as well? There are a few plugins that can scale the definition of a component. I use it for imported objects that are the wrong scale. Search for scale definition.

    gilles, if you traced one of the existing edges at the base of the pyramid instead of drawing the diagonal, you'd still get the face on the bottom but you could eliminate the step of erasing the unneeded diagonal line. [image: ov7d_pyramid.gif] Might need to click on the picture.

    We've been trying to get 3DConnexion to acknowledge and fix this issue for years, but so far no luck! It doesn't happen to everyone and doesn't happen every time. There's been a topic on the Trimble SketchUp forum where simoncbevans found that if he disabled the MacOS firewall while installing the driver and then turned it back on afterward that his device started to behave. I tried that, and for me the results are still erratic: many times SketchUp will work just fine, and then suddenly for no obvious reason the memory blows up again.

    @pixero said: In Max I convert all materials to standard materials and export as obj then I use SIM lab to save it as skp. I think I get components through ok that way. At least I havent noticed anything but it was some time since I converted anything so I might be wrong. Hi Pixero! Yes I convert all materials to standard materials too. And now I tried converting OBJ format to skp in simlab composer. it did a good job and everything is fine! all instances are components in Sketchup format. Thanks for the pro tips!

    TRANFERT ANSWER FROM MSI COMPUTER ASSISTANCE Pour le problème mentionné avec le log (erreurs RAM et Graphic Cards), SketchUp se baserait sur les informations fournies par Winbdows. Il peut arriver que Windows indique de mauvaises informations, ce qui causerait cette erreurs. Pour le problème de lenteur, il est possible que le logiciel tourne sur la carte graphique Intel, ce qui causerait ce problème. Essayez de faire une réinstallation complète des pilotes graphiques. Pour cela, téléchargez le logiciel ci-dessous : https://www.wagnardsoft.com/DDU/download/DDU v17.0.8.6.exe Une fois le logiciel lancé, dans "Option de démarrage", sélectionnez "Mode sans échec", puis cliquez sur "Redémarrer en mode sans échec". L'ordinateur redémarrera et une fenêtre s'ouvrira pour DDU, cliquez sur "Nettoyer et redémarrer" Refaites ensuite la même manipulation, mais en sélectionnant cette fois "Intel" dans le menu "Selection du pilote Graphique". Installez ensuite les pilotes Intel, puis Nvidia disponibles via les liens ci-dessous : http://download.msi.com/nb_drivers/vga/VGA_vga_win64_22.20.16.4708_0x09f3b5ab.zip => Intel http://download.msi.com/nb_drivers/vga/VGA_vga_Win10_x64_HDA(382.05-1021493-01_22.21.13.8205_0x7886bd5c.zip => Nvidia Lors de l'installation des pilotes Nvidia, cliquez sur "Installation personnalisée" et veillez a bien cocher la case "Faire une nouvelle installation". ​Cordialement,

Just with command "qlmanage -r" can reset and show correctly quicklook, but it's for a moment. It's ok. Thanks for try to help I hope someone else can help me, or new MacOS Mojave can fix the problem. Thanks No, those commands won't fix or reset anything, they can just help diagnose what is going on. Yes, and I have updated the MacOS to Mojave but still does not solve the problem

    Search for wudworx the board maker is free and makes a board component after dragging a rectangle and entering thickness value. Download the zip file and change the file extension zip to rbz and the file will install with the install extension feature. works on 2016 which is as far I can test.

    Shep[/quote] Hi Shep. I am writing in regards to the Logitech m560 mouse. Did you use the LOGITECH SETPOINT software in order to customize buttons for Sketchup? Yes, it's the only app I've set custom functions for. Did this affect mouse settings in other software? No, not that I've noticed. I am a bit reluctant to install the logitech software as this may cause all sorts of other issues. Thanks in advance.[/quote] You Bet, Shep
