    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.

    JPP is the best one! Projections by Didier has also a push pull multiple but less sophisticated! PS I suppose that you have seen that : When you have made one JPP simple or multiple you have just to make a double click on the following surface one by one for have the same JPP! Look also Architect Tools by Thomthom for the DWG files inside SketchUp! It has functions for automatically create buildings from the DWG!

    Do it with lines, and then use TIGs C-point at vertex plugin to generate points at endpoints

    In fact my error was to "Import" the file and not "Open"! (cube of the first post who was not a component) So it was automatically transformed in a componnent! (doh of the day for me) In fact seems you are not obliged to Edit the Component! Just Erase the Geolocalisation and save file seems sufficient... or maybe not if many different localisations are possible in a same file? Thanks for have found the trick!

    @jql said: If a component has a material applied that material always overrides the default material both on back and front faces. Thanks, JQL, you may be right. Have a good weekend!

    I can see that might be a problem to have the box checked when there's no watermark. It may be expecting to save an image which it can't find.

    @rich o brien said: I find the viewport display for that in designer to reflect the render output in Thea. And because of the difference in how metal appears in SD spec/gloss as compared to Thea it's an uphill battle. For straight up non-metals it's fine though. True! PBR roughness/metalic is the way to go with Thea, however Spec/Gloss might be useful for other engines, that's why I posted.

    Has there been any headway made with the mac toolbar situation? Has someone come up with a plugin that helps or is there now a way to group together the separate toolbars (the top custom toolbar line just isn't enough)

    @juju said: Isn't Skalp supposed to manage that automatically? I think so, but I don't use it. What I'm trying to say is that the perspective scene probably derived directly from a scene where the plan layers were active and that's maybe why they are also active on the new scene.

    @rich o brien said: does that mean WrapR failed to meet your high expectations? You set the bar high with Wrap-R.. that's what I meant.. And the Wrapit video I was referring to was 8 years old...so that might be a fair benchmark to begin with...

    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.
