Well, if I remember correctly, you can turn off Hardware Acceleration in SU's OpenGL Preferences although that option was removed at some point.

@matte said: I'll have to look at the "Tag" thing, not familiar with that? I thought the color by layer might mess up images... Unless SU allows you to select individual layers and just apply a color by to layer to that specifically chosen layer, that would work perfect. Color by Tag or Color by Layer is a style setting that will be applied to all objects in a scene. You could set all the tag colors to be the same except for selected ones such as dimensions. As an example I set all of the tag colors to be black except for three tags. [image: Screenshot - 1_13_2021 , 11_23_11 AM.png] One downside to this is if you use Shaded or Shaded with Textures as your face style, the faces also get the tag/layer color. That might get in the way of your modeling. [image: Screenshot - 1_13_2021 , 11_26_32 AM.png] @matte said: I know how to color and change all dims to a color. I was trying to set a layer as Dim Red (Interior things) and Dim Blue (Exterior things)... It sounds like you are making it more difficult than it needs to be. Create layers/tags to give to the various dimensions, i.e. Dims Interior and Dims Exterior. Select the interior dimensions and assign the Dims Interior layer to them. Repeat for the exterior dims. Then you can turn off the dims Exterior tag/layer so you can only select the interior dimensions. Color them red in Model Info>Dimensions. Turn off the interior dimensions and turn on the exterior and make those dimensions blue.

No problems here either. I used the corner to set the depth then double clicked to repeat on the others. [image: Windows.gif]

Can you attach the model so we can look at it.

download and install the redistributable of the required MS C++ 2015 runtime library x64 manually, launch the installer by "rClick > Run as Admin".

Someone had this same question recently. They were exploding the image after importing it, too. If you don't explode it, the image will show when the component is open for editing. I showed this as an example. [image: Screenshot - 12_30_2020 , 7_28_27 PM.png] It's puzzling to me that users feel the need to explode images after importing them. If it's not going to be used as a texture there's no need to explode it. If it is going to be used as a texture, it makes more sense to import it as a texture in the first place.

@hornoxx said: how is it ?!!? @pbacot said: How is it? Is it better over there? It's unbelievable, one second after midnight the pandemic disappeared, world hunger was vanquished, climate change was reversed and unicorns stopped all rainbow activity. I then checked the forum and finding no questions realised I was dreaming.

Je vous joint un fichier DAE avec lequel je n'avais pas de problème. Il y a du nouveau depuis avoir réinstaller l'image disque windows, Je me suis aperçu d'une chose lorsque j'ouvre un projet SKP et que j'importe directement un fichier DAE cela ne fonctionne pas, par contre si avant l'importation je sélectionne et désélectionne n'importe quel composant du projet alors l'importation fonctionne !

Hi - To add one ore more files (jpg, skp,...) press "Post a reply" directly here as you have already done it so far. In the reply input window please scroll down a little bit and use the options shown in the added screenshot. (JPGs, for example, get displayed in your post as an image directly, while SKPs get only displayed as a file attachment then. Using the Preview button will show you the appearance of your post) By the way: if you post a SKP, please remember that it is useful to save the file back to a significantly older SKP version - this will allow significantly more participants here to help if necessary since not all members here use a new SkUp version [image: select a file.jpg]

Yeah I'm sure gtx 1050Ti does the job. I looked more into it and it seems you're correct. My Cpu's 3rd thread hangs around %80 and goes to %100 sometimes so that's probably the issue here. Anyways thank you

s4u slice is the best option

The number of segments can be correct but, if the radius of the curve is very small, each of the segments length may be below the lower limit accepted by SketchUp.

Searching under LIDAR, NOAA has very good aerial images from a few years back. But I don't know how to get the LIDAR elevation data out or how to bring the images in at scale. You may need a GIS specialist to do that (locally we can download dwg files of the LIDAR contours). Here's an example of the resolution. I downloaded .jpg files of the whole island. They're pretty big. [image: Screen Shot 2020-12-30 at 1.18.10 AM.png]

Well, I'm getting those Load Error messages again, not a big deal, doesn't affect SUp at all.

Thank you, but nothing worked so I deleted the whole item and rebuilt it

Yes, Inkscape is free. https://inkscape.org
