    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!

    @alexschreyer said: That model looks good. Have you tried their PBR rendering option (somewhere in the editor)? I find it makes materials more shiny and metallic, which should work well in your case. I took a little simpler model and started trying to learn how to produce a more metallic look to the metal frames in my models. Here is a sample DCW Top Brush Again, your feedback on the process is welcome.

    Tried those settings and it did not have any affect on the problem. I am talking to Sketchfab as it seems the error might be on their side or that SketchUp 2017 is doing something different. The model shows up as empty on the Sketchfab side. If we get a resolution, I will post it here...

    Leave the section cut faces in place on the model so the model behind the section cut can be seen, too. Make a scene for each section cut view. To show those views, you can easily place the scenes as viewports next to each other in LayOut. As for something more structured, that part is up to you. You just have to develop a structured work flow.

    Hi Stuart Fuel - only just seen this, thanks for the heads up. I'll give this a try and see what happens. More components to make / amend next week so this info is timely! Cheers

    There is an old one called massmaterialimporter which may work. I'm sure someone can update it if it does not. Edit - it stil works in 2017.

    Beware, I have used this data in the latest version of Lumion and it's not really that great. Seems to have no 3D topo information and the buildings heights are limited or non existent for most areas.

    @otb designworks said: @mike amos said: I also find the additional reference points when drawing to be a thorough nuisance rather than helping. I have to agree with this statement. I feel like the "improvements" to the inference engine over the last two releases have done nothing but make the modeling process more cumbersome and confusing. I agree with both you and Trimble in this regard. More inferences are very useful but things need to be fine tuned to a point that they work flawlessly. I'll add that some of these inferences are, in fact, only visual cues. Those are, imho, useless.

    I agree with Dave. If you put the line and curve on the xy plane and aligned with the x axis, it works everytime.

    I'm glad that helped. Notifying nVidia may or may not help. They are always releasing new drivers so the next release might take care of the issue. If you didn't manually download and install the driver update before, be on the lookout for it to get updated again. Or turn off auto updates.

    thank you very much for the explanation. This means that any type of classification can be assigned to components, even custom made ones, for other purposes that are out of the building standards, if I want to use those classifications to make some reports using the built-in report tool that is in SU PRO?

    Extensions "unsigned"

    Version 2017 introduce yet another signing regime, which means unless you use an 'Unrestricted' loading policy you might get issues if it's not been re-signed for v2017, if an extension or plugin is 'unsigned' it should usually work when 'Unrestricted'. However, some unexpected changes in the way that SketchUp v2017 deals with an entity's ID etc have meant that some extension are now broken in v2017. Sadly one of these is my Extension-Tools... I am working on fixes, but a few of the tools are proving particularly recalcitrant... Watch for updates... If you find any tools which have been installed from their latest RBZ, and which seem not to work in v2017 please report them to that tool's author in its main thread. Please remember to provide any Ruby Console messages or on-load messages as might be relevant...

    My goal is to connect two offset rectangles with the speed and simplicity of using Curviloft - but without a reduction in aspect ratio. Want to avoid the extra step of manually drawing a path between said rectangles.

    Following up on this. Apparently in my system turning off antialising of textures made the issue go away. I am laying blame on the graphics card. [image: RvcM_Antialiasing.PNG]
