    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.

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    Looks like you are not getting the edges or not all of them. are the house walls set right on top of the grass? (You really should have floor or foundation at that level) If the house or other cutting element is just sitting on the grass but not not sunk into the grass surface, SU does not properly perform "intersect faces". Hiding the house so you can inspect the grass would help.

    @drw12333 said: Are all 3D Warehouse items going to be "2018" only. All that I've tried will not open in 2017. No. How have you tried opening them? If you get them directly in SketchUp, they will open with the version you are using as long as it is 2014 or higher. If you are downloading them directly through your browser, you'll have to choose the version you want. [image: 6Bpt_Screenshot-1_8_20184_26_18AM.png]

    @hornoxx said: @box said: ...you have hit control while orbiting which has tilted your workspace... an other D'oh! moment for me didn't know this tilting is even possible so This feature is often overlooked. SketchUp by default implements a notion of "gravity" that keeps the horizon level across the width of your view - even if sky and ground visibility are turned off so there is no horizon literally visible. Especially with architectural models, this avoids strange and confusing off-level motion. But by pressing control (option on mac) you can temporarily suspend gravity to get a free rotation during orbit.

    I'll have to do some research to see if there is a way to update your list of extensions. It hasn't been an issue for me since I know they aren't installed. I rarely have a need to even look at that list.

    Maybe this is what you're trying to describe. You could draw the drawer box using a rectangular path, a section profile, and Follow Me. Then draw a "cutter" to intersect at the corners. Imagine you could saw out the lock rabbet with a coping saw blade. The cutter is the path the blade would follow. Then separate the sides into components through careful selection.

    I suggest you redo a clean installation of LibFredo6. Obviously, your update did go wrong somewhere. If you post a capture of your Sketchup Plugins directory, I think I could tell you what's wrong. Fredo

    I have no idea what happened before I got the file but when I got it I found things were 'upside down', so components were coming in on their top not their base. So I did reset the axis and flipped the house upside down. So Now: I have reset the axis and I find it is 'in the sky' and a long way behind the house. So I have moved the house to the original axis and I can now see the the back-front faces of the house are off by about 7.86 degrees. I have adjusted it and now all is good I think. Thank you TIG for pointing me in the right direction. Liz

    What is the button's assignment in the Wacom control panel? Did you recently upgrade the drivers? If it had been working well before and just suddenly stopped, you need to look at what has changed. SketchUp didn't change--they don't send out automatic updates like Apple does, for example--so you should look elsewhere. Did you update the OS version recently? What version are you running?
