    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!

    They don't have to be in C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\SketchUp but assets should be stored locally. Did you add the component folders you have to your Favorites in the Components window?

    @cwmunro said: I am trying to upgrade to 18 (through the Help Menu and through the SU website) and it says I'm currently using the latest version (2017). What's up with that?? Pro users should be receiving update emails in the next day or so. But, if you want to upgrade now, you can check your license status here: https://www.sketchup.com/license/renew Then you can download the new version of 2018 on the website and plug in your license info: https://www.sketchup.com/download/all

    I recall an inconsistency based on the cameras relationship to the axis... not sure if this is the same as it was many years ago... my 'memory' tells me I avoided this by moving geometry and camera so you never crossed the axis... it seemed that if any camera position included a negative, SU makes a decision whether to move clock or anti clockwise... and it's not always the same decision... does that make any sense? john

    It's odd that the model axes are different in each scene.I wonder what you are doing that makes that happen.I'd love to see your workflow in more detail.

    Can you confirm if its a seperate plug in? As Chipp said yes it's a plugin! And free! In fact there is even 2 different plugins as some Moi Members are very productive in this field! Elephant and a variation of Elephant! (Maybe only one with the soon new beta V 4 ? ) But don't forget with this sort of thing : it's more easy to use a "node(s)" than build its own one! Because you must have a little practice training before obtain a true gem! [image: 1280px-FREMO_Alsfeld_DSB_NSB.jpg]

[attachment=1:2x7wscxi]<!-- ia1 -->sofa_subd.JPG<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:2x7wscxi] in this case, i had to match a photo pretty accurately. with subd i often have a hard time getting predictable results... spending a lot of time fiddling with creating quads (which i can never seem to get right) and crease strength. more practice i guess.

    Can I save this model?

    Hello, When SU takes longer than I expected,and when I did not save (especially for intersections), I open the autosaved version in a new window. I kept the autosave every 5 minutes in preferences, even if it's annoying while working on 100Mb+ files. This way I can work on my model while the first one is still working. (SU only uses one Core, so it shouldn't slow your PC even if it's working) You'll then get an AutoSave_AutoSave_filename.skp and so on. Just check the last autosave file's time or even open it in a new window like I do to check what you would lose in case you chose to force quit an hanging SU. Sometimes it's faster to lose 5 min work and find a workaround, SU beeing able to hang for hours !

    Well, SketchUp 2015 doesn't support operating systems that are newer than it is. If he's updated the operating system, it's no wonder he's having problems. The solution is to update SketchUp. Keep in mind, SketchUp Make is for non-commercial use only. If he is using sketchUp at work, he needs to be using Pro. You do, too, if you are using SketchUp for anything other than hobby use. Your profile indicates you are using Make.

    Grey bars!

    In my case, it is caused when Indigo RT sets a different aspect ratio for rendering in the active scene (for example, for a resolution of 1920x1080 or multiples of that) and when I apply these settings to the scene. In the viewport, the different aspect ratio is typically represented by vertical or horizontal gray bars. SketchUp 2017 (Make) does not cope with these settings of the render program during normal image export from the same scene and produces grey areas of different widths depending on the image resolution. Up to version SketchUp 2016 (Pro) this was no problem for me. I use version 2016 Pro for work and 2017 Make for hobby (Animation, because MSPhysics only runs with 64-bit SketchUp). Indigo RT (plugin "Skindigo") has in the menu "Skindigo Render Settings" a "Reset Camera" button, which also fixes this problem. "Advanced Camera Tools" are, I think, a pro feature.

    A quick look tells me your issue may be related to your incorrect use of layers. Worth reading up on them too.
