    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!

    I agree, having to rely on internet connectivity to validate your license is probably not a good idea. Even if you are online, what if the server you are phoning home to is having issues or experiencing some downtime. For that reason a more reasonable approach is probably better.

However I am having disc errors so computer is no longer reliable. swapping the disk maybe replacing by a much nimbler SSD isn't a big thing... but why not simply stick with SU Make 2016?

    See this for another way. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18%26amp;t=68150 Due to internal tolerance settings, points that are closer together than about 1/1000 of an inch are considered coincident. That can sometimes create gaps.

    @sk8er6 said: I've tried going over a few times,manually closing what I thought were the holes, using make faces, intersecting with model, <snip> Thanks for your time, -sk8er6 I find it's easier when you use solid inspector if you turn on xray mode-- that way you can see the context of the borders much better, plus you can edit as well in xray mode.

    @sdmitch said: When you click on it does the entire line get selected or just the segment you clicked on. It matters because curves have to be adjusted differently. In this example, I use a 10 degree polynomial regression on the curve that is the top side of the face. For some reason, I couldn't see your attachment until today. That looks like an amazing plugin. I fixed the problem area by creating edges with a closed loop using sandbox, deleting the face, and then using Soap skin & bubble. The result was much smoother geometry. The new tools will definitely help in the near future. Thanks to all for the input

Do I understand well that you forgot your password for the site and you are trying to reset it? But if it is so, how did you log in to write this post? Regards, Gábor

    Actually, correction! It wasn’t TIG Layerwatcher, it was doing what it is supposed to do, just in a funny way. The real problem was me! Creating line work & faces off Layer 0! Sorry TIG. Layerwatcher is a great extension & is reinstalled because I think I need it. LOL.

    @trip12091 said: UPDATE #1: I've noticed the following... While the edge I am pulling is absolutely 100% square and plumb (as confirmed by the protractor), the pulled extension is coming out 0.6% off. It's barely visible until you really zoom-in, but it is there. No. It isn't absolutely 100% square. If you set the precision in angle units higher, the Protractor will show confirm it. You can also check the coordinates using the Text tool. [image: DPJE_Screenshot-9_11_20174_47_25AM.png] UPDATE #2: I have now found that if I take the one face of the original plate, copy it, then push-pull it to the proper thickness, and then, after than, push-pull the edge to the proper width, it is working-out fine and I can delete the line. I have Nooooo idea why, or what's going on. Trip[/quote] The reason that works is because Push/Pull is precisely extruding at 90° to the face each time. So by copying the single face and extruding that, you areleaving the problem of your out-of-square edge behind.

    Great! Thanks for such a quick reply. Ugh. Getting old... Turns out I commissioned such a plugin from Jim Fultz over 10 years ago and just now discovered it. I created a post on it as well. Vertex tools is better. https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=64554%26amp;p=592146#p592146

    @sjs66 said: What exactly does it mean when it says "close the mesh?" It means that the mesh is not manifold. It is not a solid volume and there's a hole somewhere that need to be filled. If you make a cube and group it SU Entity Info will report it as Solid. Delete a face and it becomes non-solid. Solid Inspector is hunting and finding this exact problem.

    Thanks Chip I am in the habit of selecting the objects before the tool. I didn't realize that the move tool must be selected first for this to work.

    I have and use Thru Paint but its not mapped to fire. It is a large project with a bunch of hi-res textures. I disabled SimLab FBX Exporter and OBJ Importer, STL Import Export, Super Drape, Texture Resizer, VRay Tools, VoronoiXYZ, Photo Textures, PlayUp, RpWallmaker, Trimble Connect, and Easy Sketch. My materials and textures were mapping to my AppData location, so it was local but I remapped it to a location where I have all my local libraries. So far, the lag seems fixed but I have no idea which thing resolved it.
