It is simply to do with the fact your are in the US and the server is in Germany. If there is lots of US visitors then you may experience slow speeds.

In the EU it is zippy.

We are exploring CDN or mirroring for the US but this cost $$$ per month.

If more US members can confirm Joe's speed tests then we will seriously look at it. But so far the amount of complaints is on 1 hand.

Run a poll, hold a survey...I really want our US visitors to enjoy the site as much as possible but we need more feedback

So the conclusion here is; do not share anything with others unless you do not mind them using it without credits given. What is the "border" between derivative work and just repainting a couple of faces? As we cannot tell, we cannot get the Google Folks to go into action either.

A long time ago, I was told not to put ANYTHING anywhere on the web that I did not mind people ripping-off. There is no security that will prevent determined content thieves from taking whatever they want.

Cool 😎

If you want to play with that concept, you can easily transform your existing digital camera photos into tilt-shift style miniatures using tiltshiftmaker.com.

Very easy and working solution.

I believe I've found a registry fix that may resolve your issue. Modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications of these settings are at your own risk.

Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey. You can save the backup copy to a location you specify, such as a folder on your hard disk or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to undo, you can import the backup copy.

1.Open the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button , typing regedit into the search box, and then pressing Enter.‌ If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2.Locate and click the key or subkey that you want to back up (in this case HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control).

3.Click the File menu, and then click Export.

4.In the Save in box, select the location where you want to save the backup copy to, and then type a name for the backup file in the File name box.

5.Click Save.

Once you've backed up your registry, you should see a key named RegistrySizeLimit. The default value is 5d00000. This needs to be changed to ffffffff.

When you've made the change, reboot the system and try to install your software again.

Heh, I checked my Tools folder, but it never occurred to me that someone would not look in the Tools folder too.

as far as i know revit does not read sketchup textures or skm. files but you can add textures to revit using jpg. png. and bmp.
You simply go to your materials and under the render appearance tab load a new image file into the program.

Thanks John!
