    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    @pilou said: Difficulty of SubD modeling is that you must imagine how your basic form must to be before it will subdivised! ...and for apply a texture http://topologyguides.com 5 pages! https://giancr.com/en/essential-tips-hard-surface-small-details-part-01/ 3 Pages [image: topo-jpg.38626] Thanks Pilou, I'll certainly print these out and have a read through them... applying textures is another question I had so I'll see if I can get through the first stage then work that out after....

    I think I was trying something like this but did it wrong. It seems to work OK. Only thing is I would only uncheck style and fog, because I noticed that section cut settings are lost (and probably some other things if I uncheck everything but camera. Unfortunately if you are using different fog settings, they are probably all set to one setting in this process, since style and fog are combined. Thanks.

    Sounds like a hardware issue rather than SketchUp.

    Looking at that Image I would simply delete the selection and make faces between what appears to be a radial array of beams.

    Don't you just need to apply a suitable Lumion leaf material to the SU geometry? Your model should work - perhaps just intersect the groups and clean it up. Is this info relevant? [~5.15mins] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEecISrQVBg

    Tip: I learned this from Nick Sonder video a couple of years back. You can quickly change scene properties in multiple scenes by selecting the scene with the properties you wish to have updated/changed and by either ctrl/shift click select more scenes and simply de-select and immediately re-select the properties you wish to update. See Image; [image: lKgG_scene_properties.png]

    Another thing you can do is the rename the .style to .zip and poke around to see the stroke styles. Best way to deconstruct is to load a style into StyleBuilder to see what setting were used where.

    The Edit button for that path is gray because it isn't an editable path. you might try reinstalling SketchUp. Find the installer, right click on it and choose Run as administrator. Then choose Repair when the option shows itself.

    Right then I got it working! There are 2 set/groups of registry keys, one that controls the toolbar locations and a 2nd one that controls the trays. I made a copy of both, rearranged my toolbars and trays, made a 2nd copy of both and I'm now able to import the appropriate reg file and then open SU with my chosen layout. I'm reluctant to post the regfile locations as I don't want to be responsible for screwing others setup up but if you ask I'll message you directly.

    The only way a style could do that is with an overlay watermark image. Styles can't directly modify materials. You could make a single color image and add it as a watermark. Adjust the blending as needed. I used white in this example but a gray might be more appropriate. I set it up so the overlay only covered part of the screen for the example.

    If installing SketchUp using "Run as administrator" doesn't work for you... You might need to manually install the files it's choking on in the error message... That is Microsoft.NET framework 4.5.2 or better [64 & 32 bit] Which should include C++ libs 14 ? Download it separately and install it... https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime/net452 Then retry installing SketchUp using "Run as administrator"...

    The deletion of unwanted Bundles is a long-planned addition. But it's not available yet. I suggest you send a PM to Gábor - he can remove unwanted Bundles from your user-profile... Let him know what you want to vanish...
