This post heading is misleading, it looks more like a question rather than a 'How To'.
It might be an idea to rename your post with the prefix: 'Tutorial'. As in:
Tutorial: How to Change the Sketchup Measurement Unit
You might also mention that plugins are available to change units on the fly. Very useful, for example, when reading boatbuilding plans.
I am curious as to why you wished to share these very basic settings. Is this something you have had difficulty with?
Cheers, Baz
I find it fascinating. Trying to figure out the story. But is there one?
'Fun with Flags' seems to me to be a red herring, n'est pas?
Sorry to be a pedant Chedda but it's 'Frieze'.
You mean the file name, as in xxx.jpg? If so, select the material/edit/. The 'Texture' dialogue shows the file name, which your file explorer should find easily.
Or: Hey Tomtom, can you please sort my life out, I hab no idee. Tanks.
Me in bad mood.
Hi Box. xx
Hey Mike, I tried to find the challenge on the Twilight site, no luck.
Love your interior, the strange floating bench worries me tho 
At last, a photo that looks like a render rather than the other way around

My two cents. The awning in the illustration looks too low. Barring other considerations. I'd make it higher. People going up and down steps do not walk in a smooth line--depending on their gait, their head height varies. Take it from someone who has knocked himself on a low beam in hurrying up a step...I wasn't knocked senseless but who's to say?
My design was too low so I tested it empirically as mentioned previously. Three months now and no problem.
In Wales, I lived in a pub where I had to duck every step and a half to avoid the joists.

No idea really, 10/15 Gb ? Released over time. No big deal.
Can I ask this fairly select group of posters about some stuff?
As in:
I have a large number of skips from my work since SU V5 which I don't wish consigned to oblivion.
So, I want to give away all my skps and designs.
I am thinking loading perhaps 100 skips somewhere?
A post?, ugly. Maybe SUC could have a moderated 'warehouse'?
Wot to do?
PS: Might have over-trained a bit, but bugger it, off it goes.
I am some sort of artist, certainly a craftsman, with a wide streak of pragmatism in order to keep beer in the fridge. Some of my work is really good, and some is pragmatic and good enough.
Bottom line for me is has to be solid and safe, IE: well made. SU has been a huge help in this. I approach each job with art foremost in mind, followed quickly by reality and then quickly adapt to the budget, and then hopefully think art again.
And I give a lifetime guarantee on all my work. (Yours or mine).

I am sure you will check 3 times for underpass headroom
:). I know it does not help you but perhaps others.
Thanks Liam, funny you should say check 3 times.
I did, and still went empirical anyway.
IE: I set the canopy frame up on temp posts and walked under it a few times.
SU gave me a good benchmark, (about 20 mm low.)
BTW: I am 6'4' and 3/4", 195cm.

No bush fires down your way, Baz?
No, thank the gods. In fact nearly feeling guilty. We've had almost 50mm of rain since last week. We needed it. Tho' not as badly as needed up North. How is your situation in Qld?
There hasn't been a fire thru here for 60 years, so when it inevitably happens, it's going to be a doozy. We are well prepared, with a plan A and a plan B. (Plan B is run away).
Cheers.
PS: Just watched the news, had no idea the fires were that bad in Queensland. Hope you and yours are ok.
Finally got my deck built and I love it, makes such a difference.
All modular and can be dismantled to man size pieces for transportation.
Now to see if the canopy is strong enough to take the winds around here.

That's the trick Baz, start small and play with little shapes and see what you get. Gradually you'll see how to put shapes together to make complex structures.
Yes. Ciao.

From Hornoxx's brilliant complexity to perhaps the simplest SUbD of all, a Guitar Pic.
Simple rocks. I am a bit SubD challenged meself, but I watched that gif 3 times, then went and did it in about the same time, (a bit longer). Perfick.
Ta.
