    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!

    Have you tried exploding the images. They will then become rectangle faces and images will convert to materials applied to the faces, but they will look the same as the original images. I don't know if Vray renders images, but it will probably render the project after exploding them.

    @Srx - is this what you are referring to in your original post? Do you use solids for modelling the original shapes? If 2x yes, this might be a simple plugin I think. Edit: or not so simple as I thought. There is no easy offset method for loops / contours in the API. Detecting the upper boundary loop is easy but you would then have to make you own offset algorithm... [image: 58J8_split_walls.jpg]

    In the end I did get in touch with the SuSolid software designer David Malnar, and he sent me a new copy of the plugin. All working now Once again, I thoroughly recommend SuSolid for anyone who's exporting STLs from Sketchup for 3d printing. Cheers, BP

    @tig said: The error tells you the line and the file... Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined methodtransformation' for #Sketchup::Face:0x00000007b21748> C:/Users/tcw/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/engineeringtoolbox_tools/engineeringtoolbox.rb:26:in eval' Line 26 in engineeringtoolbox.rb A Face does not have a transformation. So I suspect that the code [I don't have it at hand] for '4x3 Concentric Reducer' is expecting you to have selected something that does have a transformation - like a group, component_instance etc... Have you read the usage instructions ? http://sketchup.engineeringtoolbox.com/concentric-eccentric-reducers-to_28.html TIG, Your clear explanation provided the direction needed. I actually had read through the instructions which is why I drew a circle on the floor and selected its face to place the new component on the floor. Guided by your answer, I made the circle a group and the component insertion worked as expected. Thanks, AustinPowered

    I have this in my drawing program (PowerCADD). You hold a modifier key and snaps disable, similar to ortho constrain / un-constrain toggle.

    @cuttingedge said: I have a model with lots of faces (less than a hundred) which i need to jointly extrude. i run Joint-push-pull and while the preview is almost real-time, the process took so long to complete. But when I wanted to undo the command (which is supposed to be one command). It simply wont undo and therefore messing up my geometry. Wish there's a better way to do this. Well, difficult to tell without seeing the model and having something reproducible. In any case, this is not intended and would be a bug Fredo

    You are referring to the Tray in SketchUp 2016 on the PC. There is no tray on the Mac version. You can open the individual windows from the Window menu and you can stack them on the side if you like.

    Thanks, I have had a look at the components but they do not have what I would consider small parts. It's still a bit of a mystery.

    Excellent thanks for your help. I also figured I could get rid of the background with an alpha channel in photoshop, but your way easier. Thanks Nicola

    Sorry to take so long to respond. I appreciate the responses from you guys. I went with DaveR's approach since it would be the easiest (IMHO) to use when a new version of SU is released.

    Yes. The Save_As... option will save back as far as version 3. Use the drop-down list.

    @hellnbak said: I don't know if SU itself has a fork in it's future, but I do know that these forums are not what they used to be. For several years it seems member participation has pretty much died down to just a predictable few. Sad Can't argue with that. I joined the SketchUp forum only fairly recently, so I'm barely past newbie status yet...but I'm spending far more time over there now.

    Discovered that if I export as a 2D graphic (dwg) and then import that, it has got rid of all the rubbish. All of the layer controls have gone, but I don't need those anyway. This method has the added bonus of truly flattening the file as well.

    Can you share an SKP file in which this occurs?
