    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!

    You can add a layer that is invisible in all other scenes with e.g.: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10%26amp;t=36583#p322291 Or you can have a look at VisMap2 for a more advanced control (haven't tested it): http://www.martinrinehart.com/models/rubies/vismapdoc.html

    Thanks Rich for the video Tig - the premise of this exercise was not to change camera position - aka do not pan/orbit/zoom. But thanks anyway for the good narrative.

    Thank you Fredo, This is actually helpful for high-resolution windows machines as well. Although some control over the scale value other than 2 would be great as well. Anyways, much better than no scale as all the texts and toolbar are scrambled without.

    @gene davis said: I copied the plug in from there and pasted into 2016, and all works fine. You shouldn't do that because there may be incompatibilities between different versions and it's always better to download a fresh and up-to-date version of plugins. (This time you were lucky because 6.0 is the current version in the Pluginstore: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Mirror ) (TIG was faster, but for me the answer was more work, so here it is.)

    +1 All kinds of issues signing in. Sometimes it works, sometimes no... I get the message, "Authentication Error ! Something went wrong during the authentication process. Please try signing in again." Even after deleting the file as Pixero suggested. Solution - open IE (I use Chrome by default) and log into Extension Warehouse there, then open SU, go to Extension Warehouse, then I can log in again and it worked.

    @nina792 said: HI! i was wondering if someone here can make me a big favor. Need to import this dwg to sketchup, but i don't have the Pro. If you open it, you'll see 2 equal drawings in 2d as a block and one exploded in 3D. I need just one of them; if its in 3D better, but if it's not possible i can work with the 2D See my post to you in another topic of the same nature.

    @nina792 said: HI I WAS WONDERING IF SOMEONE CAN HELP IMPORTING THIS FILE TO SKETCHUP... THANKS IN ADVANCE Welcome to sketchUcation! Here you go with some help so you don't have to rely on other people: Convert DWG file to DXF. You can use a free program like DraftSight to do this. Navigate to the pluginstore, search: DXF Read through the results and decide which of the solutions you would like to use. And there you go! You're welcome!

    Does it a big deal to use or on the fly ? Dave will be pleased : i have only used native tools! If you want a minimum and maximum, just draw 2 help guides: so you can move your objects between these 2 limits! [image: rVf9_GIF_big_deal.gif] [image: 5TsY_GIF_big_deal1.gif]

    You need to set the default printer in the Windows printer settings.
