Dan, There is a predefined attribute named ImageURL which you can point to an image using a url. For example, http://mysite/myimage.png Dynamic component predefined attributes: http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114551

Mate as Gaieus suggests it isn't possible. However there is a simple workaround - LO has a great feature of retaining information set outside the page bounds (which has some very handy reference aspects). So you can simply flick between landscape and portrait under document setup and export your pages individually to suit which are set L or P.

@john2 said: Does anyone know how to control the dpi resolution by entering numbers (e.g. 270 dpi, 250 dpi, 200 dpi) when exporting jpegs and hybrids from layout? Once you set the save location and file name for the exports, you'll get a window that gives you the settable options. [image: jivu_Screenshot-5_9_20164_55_12AM.png]

Hi guys, The problem in this case is figuring out where the 'new' toolbar should be added. I don't have my PC in front of me at the moment, but I think new Ruby toolbars are added at the start of the toolbars, not at the end. On the other thread on this subject (over at our help forum) a suggestion was made that new Ruby toolbars should be floated on first load to avoid this. john .

in win7 i find ie8 does this all the time too so MS can't even get it right

Hi Honolulu - Thanks a million for this script. This is exactly what I needed. It's nice that this isn't recursive, which fits the workflow nicely for what I'm using this for. I've edited the script slightly, to make it operate on just the selected components. (Chris, you'll be very proud...) Same instructions for use, but select the components you wish to make unique first, then type "allsunique" into the console and hit enter. def allsunique model = Sketchup.active_model selection = model.selection selection.each do |e| if e.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance e.make_unique end end end

I'm pretty sure this is a graphic card issue. (which one you got?) Confirm by temporary disable hardware acceleration. If you see it then, update your drivers.

Hi Dave - Thanks for verifying.

Since you scaled the component "from outside" (when resized the whole model), it has now a different size than the definition would have. SU is simply asking you if you want to save it like this (i.e. keeping this scale) or should it save it as the definitions defines its original scale.

@Mitcorb P Bezier was a funny guy! Very very interesting site!! (I have crossed Ergun AKleman for Topmod: French version Site of Topmod is now on "Stand by" you can just load the prog! A very special but absolutly terrific program!

Did you minimize the SU window while having the terrain selected? ...yea - it's an odd little wicked SU bug...

I am surprised the Nvidia is giving trouble. In the past I have only had troubles with ATI cards. If it helps I am currently using the Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti with no issues what so ever running Windows 7/64.

That would be great, Chris. This would be the first step to answer these questions: Have I downloaded the maximum available detail from google earth? (the idea is that if your sample is 2500 points, it may have been resampled) What is the resolution available from google earth on the terrain? (I guess if you know you have the max, you can measure the grid?)

Hmm. I'm not on the same model now, and the setting seems to be working fine. I don't know what is different this time.

gallery wise.....fur plugin thread received a lot of attention, not sure how many views. silvershadow, free agent and kwistenbiebels work also draw much attention and quite rightly so!!

@chip said: I have not done anything special, just using Layout blank sheets and I am getting this error all the time. More then 75% of the files I start end up giving me this error. Does anyone know the answer. I love this program, but I can't keep copying everything over to new files to save. Please HELP!!!! Could this have anything to do with an imported image's resolution? I assume you're running SU 8/LO 3. Your status shows SU 7. In LO 3 there was a bunch of work done to prevent corrupted documents from saving. If it was allowed to save, then the saved file would be corrupt. Most corrupt files had connections (leaders/dimensions). If you could provide more details, like a LO file that you start with and the steps that you did to not be able to save, that would be helpful in fixing the bug.

@bmike said: [image: banghead.gif] yeah, kind of like that. Thanks, Mike.

Thanks, all. Just when you think you've reviewed all the plugins out there...
