    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!

    @ntxdave said: Depending on what you want to do, you could look at TIG's 2D Tools plugin but there are some restrictions on how you use it. sure it depends on what I need to do... It was a 2D drawing for clarity. Well, I know that SU isn't primarily focused on that. It's about understanding and acceptance of philosophy. thanks for all the responses guys greetings Peter

    If you PM me the RBZ I'll also scrutinize it... Incidentally, do you have your Preferences > Extensions Loading Policy set to 'Unrestricted'...

    For the benefit of others who may come across this topic: WIndows update has been quietly bundling the plays.tv app along with an update to the drivers for AMD graphics (most likely AMD initiated this, as plays.tv is a project they co-sponsor with Raptr). This app causes graphics conflicts that crash SketchUp. Uninstalling Play TV has cured the problem for many people.

    @dou said: I use skt.2015 pro and in the left end of the opening welcome there is a box to disable or enable this option. I notice that you have a sketchup make version and there is no box! That is one minor difference between Pro and Make.

    I've been putting them on individual layers. Works well, especially with Tig's Section Cut Face Plugin.

    Thanks for the replies, Cotty Tigs 2D tools is very good thank you. slbaumgartner Using Tigs 2D tools it looks like every line is a group with individual lines. so I can see how this may bloat the file size. Using profile builder every single segment of the line is a component therefore hopefully this will reduce the bloat.

    Why not use Toposhaper ? It has numerous functions that can be adapted to your terrain! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ru5MnE-D_Q

    LOL!!!!! I really would like to know who is giving a thumbs down on my comment. What's your problem?!? So do you think it is totally normal that such bugs are not being fixed anymore these days? One of the most basic "features" of a software that used to work perfectly fine over the last years? LOL... this world is really screwed up.
