    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!

    Oh God! Such an idiot. I'm going to kill myself. And I've been painting and repainting, exploding and grouping for like 40 minutes. I feel like such a fool now. And I'll post in v6 from now on, update my profile etc. Thanks Box, thanks Pilou.

    @charevir56 said: If I understood what you are after, I will do this way: uncheck the shadows setting in axonometric scenes scene with the shadow setting: before set the shadows setting turn off all layer and set day/time/light/dark/... and check all setting. Every time you select this scene your working area will be cleaned. But if you want to use this scene to add the shadows to the current view of one of your axonometric scene, Set the shadows setting and uncheck Camera position and visible layer. In 1st cases when you update the shadows setting you won't see anything, but when you select one of your axonometric scenes they'll show the shadows setting. In 2nd case the shadow scene will add the shadows to the current scene In the same way you can create a scene to clean the shadows: turn off the shadow and check all setting but the visible layer. This scene will turn off the shadow in wherever scene Is selected. Attached file Sorry for my English. thanks, charevir. your English may not be perfect but the explanation is very clear! I have always being able to set this up but then could not all of a sudden. go figure that. the file helps a lot too. I am sure others will benefit from your explanation. best regards.

    They are definitely guidelines. However, I solved the problem by changing to the wireframe option in the Styles menu, select all, then View>Hide and switching back to the default styles. Lines gone.

Please clarify what you mean by "how I'd like". I'm the author of the Angular Dimension and co-author of Angular Dimension 2 both available in the plugin store here, so I may be able to help once I know what you need.

    Rotate Texture on curved surface

    It can be done without a plugin or extension. First, the material needs to be applied to the faces and not the group or component. Expose Hidden Geometry, right click on a single face and choose Texture>Position. Rotate it as needed. Then turn off Hidden Geometry, use the Materials eye dropper to sample the material where you just rotate it and then immediately click the paint bucket on the surface to apply that material orientation. Alternatively, you can apply the material to another face in the model that would get the same orientation and sample that before applying it to the curved surface. I used these methods for the rush seat on the chairs and the legs on the table. [image: 11416850996_695e552ea0_z.jpg] And on the curved surfaces on this post. [image: 8511785423_9b3ca804d5_z.jpg]

    try if installing the Windows runtime libraries required by SU v2016/2017 again helps: • Microsoft .NET Framework v4.5.2+ • Microsoft Visual C++ Redist. 2015 • Microsoft Universal C Runtime Update f. Win 7/8.x always run these installers (as well as the SU setup) by "r-click > Run as Admin".

    Thank you. I guess when I do want to erase specific lines, I don't find it to be a problem. Since I do most of this sort of work on my PC at home, I'm using Paint.NET as my image editor but I have PS on my work computer and PSE on my MacBook Pro. The process is the same. I don't often find a need to erase overlapping edges. The thick ones mask the thin ones anyhow. Well, except in some sketchy styles but those tend to have really loose lines and having multiple lines generally works. [image: 13189648465_a36b29b396_b.jpg]

    if a smart phone can understand speech almost flawlessly, why can't the same be done with sketchup? instead of wasting time looking for a component in a custom library's long list, just say what you want...and bingo, you're done. even if you use the library's search utility, it still takes time to type.....plus the search utility times-out and acts finicky.

    Probably good advice! I always think there's some new whiz bang feature that I can't live without... @pilou said: @unknownuser said: Maybe I just go back to 2016, not near as many issues there. Why change something that works fine ? Keep old version(s) is a good habit!

    @rocketron1 said: Looking at the installing tutorial on the Sketchucation site, it seems it is directed to an older version than 2017. Please provide me the proper directions for installation with Sketchup Pro 2017. Thank you, Ron Unlike all previous SketchUp versions, v2017 changed the installation process slightly - and of course this applies to ALL RBZ installations - not just SCF's... To install ANY Extension's RBZ, in v2017 you need to do the following... [ Note this is now exactly the same in PC & MAC ! ] Use Sketchup, menu Window > Extension Manager - then use the dialog's red-button to 'Install Extension'... Find the RBZ, and select it to install it - answering in the affirmative at any prompt dialogs... Installation done

    Riccardo, Perhaps see this thread: (sdmitch was gracious to private message me a custom solution for my needs) http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=57803 Perhaps sdmitch will see this thread, and allow or share the same plug-in for you, as I think this may be what you need to sort out your lmported model layers. (Maybe pm him?) Charlie

    did you have installed under another user account than the used one? Try if running SU by "r-click > Run as Admin" once helps already.

    I found a useful plugin from TIG: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_save_all_components. (before doing this, use the purge plugin!) For now this works well. And in Layout I automated the date and drawingnr., this saves me already a tiny bit of time. Also the generate report function in Sketchup is now useful for me to make BOMs. Is there a possibility to use the model info (. skep model) to put it in a text field in layout (such as name and description)? Or is this a wish list thing? And I always select vector rendering and background of, is it possible to set this as default Or is this still wishlist?
