      I did consider that, Coen, but some folks don't like applying things to their system settings that they can't actually see...hence the text format.
      It does what it says; it raises the bar on the size of image you can import into SU (without image degradation under OpenGL) from 1024 pixels square to 2048.

      The higher figure is supposed to be the natural maximum size for OpenGL, but I have seen some discussions in which even higher numbers are mentioned.

        Nice contribution Alan.
        Does it work for XP and for Vista?

          Well, it ought to work on XP. It was released by Google to the Beta team for that purpose, but I just tried it on my new Vista machine and it appears not to be working on that. 😞

          I suppose that's hardly surprising; I'm having all manner of problems working with images in SU on my new system....including SU shutting down without so much as a Bugsplat.

              is there any reason the number can't be higher than 2048?

                2048 is supposedly the in-built limitation of OpenGL.

                        I think this is a Windows only setting (otherwise it could be compatible in the two OS's and would've been built into SU natively already).

                        Gai...

                          Well, the registry edit is for SketchUp only, not for OpenGL globally. So I was thinking that there might be an Mac equal.

                            Thomthom, Thanks for responding. On of reasons I switched to Mac
                            was so I wouldn't have to concern myself with the innards of the
                            system.

                            I have no idea of how to go about looking for this information.
                            Maybe someone that is knowledgeable could chime in? Of if someone
                            can lead me through the search process I will have a go. 👍

                            Mike
