    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!

    It's not a SketchUp bug, though.

    For me Save as component (once you've set it where it goes in the master model)works well. .. as noted above. Just be aware of anything you do with the axes for that component.

    I've been looking for an answer to this issue, and this post is as close as I could get. How can I show the volume of a component in the Component Attributes window? It seems to be available in Attribute Reporting and in the Entity Info window, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to the CA window. Once I have the volume, I hope to calculate a cost for that volume. I have the cost per a determined UOM and can figure out how to convert it. Thanks

    Sorry for delay in replying. Thanks for the hints. The Gilles 'follow me' method works the best for me. I havent tried your idea yet Pilou. Thanks again.

    There's no need to copy to a new file? Just use Align Camera as I told you. It works just fine. As for the "red light inside the model", to what are you referring? SketchUp doesn't put any sort of lights inside. The only option for lighting in SketchUp comes from the sun. Upload the model or at least show a screenshot. Give us something to help you with.

    Hi Besides modeling the geometry itself you could use suitable PNG textures as well (picture material from the web or self-made). For my example I have used image material which Gilles has recommended by his link above [image: Rm9S___BalustradePNGTexture.jpg] [image: Pkgk_001.png] 001.skp

    Thank you Pilou! .....I did not fully understand your earlier scaling example (w/o visible dimension)....it is now very clear! Now OP has at least two methods to adjust imported CAD files to scale.....as we understand his needs. Best regards, Charlie PS.....RE: Try it....................I will now use this method as well!

    @slbaumgartner said: To use layers or simple hiding, your "outliners" should be groups or components. If they are edges and faces, associating them with hidden layers is almost certain to cause issues because loose edges and faces on hidden layers or simply hidden still interact with other loose edges and faces! Definetelly follow this advice!
