    V8.0 is released https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=2Dtools Or via the ExtensionStore dialog. It fixes a glitch with v2026 whereby some MAC users could not get the TAB key press/up to work to open dialogs in some tools, and some PC users had to press/up 4 times to make TAB work. But <=2025 users had no issues. I've now improved the onKeyUp methods to optimize TAB use in v2026, but it can still be flaky for some users. including me needing 4x press/up! So as an additional option I've added one press/up on the Shift key which will also open the dialogs, in certain tools like LineStyle and Hatching. The Help pages explain this dialog opening more fully. Please try and report back issues...

    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!

    It does not happen by itself, nor is it performed by someone who is paid to do so. I'm aware that this is a Sketchup Team plugin, but I'm not going to comment on that. eggy car

    From memory there was a bug, I hesitate to use the word, that caused some systems to lock to 2019. The simplest way back then was to uninstall 2019 and then it would recognise the newer versions properly. But if you have got it to work then all is good.

    @grizzler said: but I think I need 3 tags for the two items - one for the 3D file, one for the 2D image and a third for the pair as a component. Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2022. If that's correct you could use a tag folder to contain the tag for the 3D trees and the tag for the 2D circle. Then leave the top level component untagged. Turning off the visibility for the tag folder would hide both the 3D and 2D components or you can hide one or the other by controlling the tag visibility.

    @box said: Segments. There is always a limit to the number of segments Sketchup can deal with. There is also an unfortunate lack of good error messages built into sketchup. 10000 segments of a single continuous 'curve' will tend to crash sketchup without a bugsplat. Your question appears to show that 6000 segments is the limit on a follow me before it gives you an error that is somewhat meaningless. Thanks for going to all the trouble, some very useful information for myself and probably others. Very much appreciated And you're right about the 'somewhat meaningless' error messages. It might as well have said 'This ain't gonna work, but we're not gonna tell you why'

    What version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile says you are using 2020 Free/Make but there is no such version. Providing the correct information helps us help you.
