a guess, without immediate solution... the ones that cause this try to take you away from the EW using a different protocol... i.e... http:// v https:// supposedly it's all about keeping you secure... john

SOLUTION You guys can hammer out what change could be made to fix this issue but I got a reply from the folks at engineering toolbox. When you click insert and nothing happens you can fix it by refreshing the page. Right click in the page and select "refresh". After that the insert will work. Maybe this can be added to the plugin somehow? But anyhow this gets us back to work. Thank you everyone for your time!! Mark Henry

@blastfurnace said: everything I draw in SU2015 looks jagged to me...I have changed the openGL settings but no luck... The timing of your post is funny. I noticed today something similar while rotating a scene, I see some jaggies (like edges that are fragmented in several large parts). I already had a look at my opengl settings (gtx560ti) and was already google-ing if some of the gfx card settings could be better but haven't found anything useful yet. any suggestions anyone??

@blastfurnace said: .....When I relocate an axis then I grab a group I want the Protractor (Axes) of that group to snap to the current axes. **(A)**It doesn't always do that and **(B)**sometime it is off by so little between two axes that it isn't quickly noticeable.... (A) I notice that some groups are "stubborn" and keep their own axes to align to. They simply do not wish to adopt to the new drawing axes by use of the 'Move' tool and its protractor. I don't know the cause of this. Your flang group is one of them. (B) Don't snap to axes. Use input 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees after rotating to arbitrary angle.

Right, I don't think the approach you were trying with SB is going to work--unless I totally misunderstand. With 25 points you could quickly draw edges to make triangles and take it from there. With that TIN mesh you can apply sandbox "from contours" to smooth, "add detail" or use any number of other mesh manipulating plugins. I think you are using the "smoove tool"? Not what it's for. Offhand regarding editing a simple mesh: Try "select none" (this is good to set to a hot key) and then the move tool and move point by point, not surfaces. It is easier if you have "VertexTools" plugin. But you may not need to use this method at all at this point.

@chris fullmer said: This might not be completely relevant, but Chris Dizon from Trimble wrote a station point importer that is pretty cool. http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/total-station-point-importer Chris Thanks Chris! It's interesting that you post this because I was just this week in Pittsburgh meeting with a Trimble guy. He was at a local distributor giving them a class and he agreed to meet with me to discuss Trimble total station purchase options. We talked extensively about Sketchup integration and he said "Chris just wrote a point importer that's really nice." I said "Fullmer?" he looked confused and said "Umm, no. Chris". I decided him explaing his Chris and I explaining mine was not worth it, so I said "Well send me a link to it." Which he forgot to do. We are trying to decide between a Field Link which uses Sketcchup and CAD or an LM80 which doesn't but has a really easy point entry interface. If I can use Sketchup in the same way I used to use LM80 then it's a lot easier decision which to buy. what I need to do is a two step process. Take points shot with an RTS and develop new points based on the shot points. I.E. "From point 3 turn 90 degrees (based on a line that is drawn from point 4 to point 5) then move 4 feet and make a new point. Step Two: Load those points, that were both shot and created, into an RTS to be staked out. So I am rambling. I'm sorry. Thanks for your information I heard about it but didn't know where to find it. Thanks!
