    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!

    Thanks Fredo. Do you think it possible to technically achieve this? In particular, I'm interested in a workflow where all hard edges are rounded for a given object at once. Even better if it can be proxied, so one could continue working in the non-rounded version, then update the proxy. Blender has a great set of plugins called hard ops, which does this. This plugin is amazing, and I think this can be done even better in SU if there's a good enough fillet algorithm. https://youtu.be/MOr0RBraRaI

    I use the axis tool and align it with a wall corner on the plan. So, on the cabinet wall, I can take the tape measure tool and search for a corner of a cabinet door for a reference point from which to measure and it doesn't find a corner to reference. You didn't encounter this? Are you on a PC or Mac? I'm on a Mac Thank you!

    Indeed, the other constants are a little more depressing, so I rarely think of them, personally. I shall give it a miss until something (paid or not) appears - I'm always keen to adapt, but not at too much 'time cost', being self-employed and all. FYI Completely agree with your sig'.

    Also take a look at "MooTools" standalone software to convert between formats.

    Just type... Sketchup.send_action 10624 ...into the Ruby Console to gain access to the Camera Clipping values If you zoom and pan in the viewport you can see how SketchUp adjusts this value range on the fly.

    First off, apologies for my lack of reply. There's a lot of really great answers, suggestions and just general knowledge that I wasn't expecting. Thanks @Box @JQL @ntxdave. For clarity, the shoe aspect is more about modelling a representation of my clients product so that it can be placed within a space. And avoid having to comp in trainer products into final visuals in Photoshop. The main focus of my task is to design and iterate through options for a given event / space. Given Sketchup works to sizes accurately this can be quite quick at times. I've attached a couple of examples, using Warehouse examples, showing the approx basic level of rendering / representation that would be satisfactory. Side note: @JQL mentioned "Incredible rendering engines that render this in secs;". Can you expand on this? [image: uzDA_ScreenShot2017-05-23at20.18.47.png]

    @adam56 said: .HELLO, As a Structural Standing Seam panel, Vertical Seam delivers a clean, linear elegance paired with unmatched quality for a dependable, long-lasting, and beautiful roof. Structural Standing Seam roof systems are ideal for lower sloping and longer spanning roofs, or where extreme temperature variations exist. Is this an ad for metal roofs?
