for 2 or more terrains imported from GoogleMaps I always use the Clip or Trim Terrain Mesh plugin. No complaints. But of course, it was not made to use with two terrains that don´t match. But don´t worry Sdmitch, I followed the "skirt" advice. While draping the terrain over the other terrain crashed Sketchup, draping the detailed terrain over a flat surface worked. Then I just deleted the border of the flat surface and I had my skirt. (ps: just thought now that instead of draping, I could have selected the entire terrain, used the SELECT ONLY plugin, select only border edges... then the projection tools plugin to extrude lines along a vector... select the bottom edges and resize them... that would also create a skirt.

TIG, Thank you very much, first, for the very quick feedback, and second, for the solution, it works perfectly now ... I'm always amazed by the efficiency of the community support here on Sketchucation. It's a great pleasure to know that such a place exists. Thanks again !

I'm looking at a whole building. It's a component and all the parts are nested components and (don't tell Dave) groups--especially windows that might be nested components from the assembly down to the glass. I want to work on something I see. First approach I can double click and double click and watch redraws until I finally get to it; or I could use the Outliner. Instead of the Outliner, with some plugin I wouldn't have to guess what component (might know but not always) or group (won't really know) the object is in. Wouldn't have to find it in the Outliner. Just pick plugin (key shortcut) and click face or edge: then ready to edit, no matter how nested it is. I would be inside whatever component that contained the entity.

Hi, i have been using shader light pro for some time now and think its a brilliant renderer, however i can't seem to get keyframe to work along side it, i want to use artificial lighting and if i can animate spotlights etc. when i make tweens shader light doesn't recognise this and nothing moves? can anyone give me a step by step please?? Many thanks In advance Dave

There's an update to this Plugin in the PluginStore [user requested]. http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=dimsvis v1.7 will now Hide|Show|Isolate[Layer]|Delete Selected|All Text|2dText|Dims I.E. It now processes "2dText" which has been made with my 2dTools, just as can native Text and Dimensions...

Dave Thanks. I do that also, but this was the first time I have multiple images that I wanted to overlay. Normally I have one image that I use and you method works. However, I wanted to turn on the X-Ray view on so they could see all the images stacked. It seems with the slowing down with work in the Gulf of Mexico, they are chasing more inland work. So this is why I am getting more and more scanned files, from projects that were constructed in the late 30's to the early 60's. Anyway thanks.

If we have normal names should we just wait until you do another update or should all of us update. BTW; Nice of you to go through and update all of your stuff... I would have told them to change their name.

In my limited tests, it seems to me that my plugin works as expected. However I can't know if what I'm testing is anything like reality. So if you could post a model of the sample depicted in your previous post, it would be appreciated.

I just saw the reference of Kristoff and I will give this a try. Thank you so much. And thank you Kristoff for this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3474

This is very close to what I wanted to make. Thanks guys! I will have a look at that 'Helix' plugin too! It looks interesting. [image: lOPh_Capture07.JPG]

Yes, I em-mailed him, but thought I might as well post the question here if others use the plug-in, or in case he doesn´t answer.

Great!

You'll find the Sketchucation tools very handy for plugins too. http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download

Hello, i am having the same problem here. When i click the sketchucation plugin i get that pop up window which tries to load for a few seconds and then i get the message :"Navigation to the webpage was canceled" I Also cannot download 3d Warehouse components but i can browse through them. The extension warehous also doesnt work, it tells me it requires an internet connection.. I downloaded and installed the latest IE 11, added the link to the trusted zone, allowed sketchup through firewall but same problem..

Sure, send me some, I'd be happy to peek. I'm on a crappy iPad now, I'll answer more indepth next week.

Can anyone please help me understand, how to add the preferences file? It comes as blank. [image: 3c9B_2.jpg] [image: dWr6_defaultconstrucion.jpg]

There are versions that are not compatible with SU2014 (the one in the pluginstore too?), this one should work: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=12354%26amp;start=90#p530701
